BONUS BILL NOW A LAW
Enactment of a bonus bill for vet
erans of the world war, is now a
law, the Senate and House passing
the bill over the Presidential veto.
Much sickening slush has been writ
ten and preached during the past tew
years by opponents to the soldier
bonus, and the matter has become so
confused in the public mind that the
line of demarcation between senti
ment and duty has been lost sight ol.
Less than five years ago the people
of the nation were yelling themselves
hoarse over the* khaki clad contin
gent, and having hydrophobia at the
mention of Germany. Today the war
has been relegated to the distant past
,and if a soldier gets anything he
may count that day well worth while.
Every specious argument has been
advanced against giving the veterans
a bonus, but even as the bill was be
ing vetoed by President Coolidge he
was signing his approval of giving
Hungary 60 years to pay her war
debts to the United States.
To a prejudiced observer it appears
that the boys have got a rotten deal(

considering the millions in profits ac
cruing from their efforts over seas.
Starting with the first gunfire and
lasting until the present-day, the war
was used by the profiteer and politi
cian to increase their wealth. The
soldier got nothing,—not even the
thanks of the nation.
The payment of the bonus, however
small was an act of justice. Under
the present plan it will take sixty
years to pay up the obligation incur
red, which will not add to the burden
of the nation in any way whatsoever.
England’s war debt to the United
States, over which so many tears
have been shed by advocates of hands
across the sea, will pay this bonus
and leave several billion surplus.
CALIFORNIA VOTE AND JAP
EXCLUSION
Arthur Brisbane, “highest paid”
newspaper writer in the United States
can miss his forecasts as easily as the
weather man. Commenting on the vote
of Johnson and Coolidge in California,
he declared the vote “will tell Presi
dent Coolidge what some of the peo
ple think of Japanese exclusion,” add
ing that California “naturally would
vote heavily for Hiram Johnson,”
whereas the “lukewarm attitude of
the administration on Japanese ex
clusion should add heavily to the Hi
ram Johnson vote.” He concdluded that
“‘the bigger the vote the more plainly
the president will understand that
temporizing the Asiatic exclusion is a
sure way to lose California next Nov
ember.” It is a political axiom that the
most uncertain thing in the world is a
sure thing. Mr. Brisbane is an ardent
anti-Japanese and California is credit
ed with being likewise. But the verdict
of California whereby Johnson lost
more than fifty thousand and suffered
his first defeat in fourteen years,
shows that Japanese exclusion is not
the only issue before the people and
that the term “leukwarmness,” and
“temporizing” were far-fetched. The

THE CHAMBER EXCURSION
The Chamber of Commerce excur
sion will give some of our citizens an
opportunity to meet the.ir customers
ace to face. The Gateway has many
subscribers from 100 to 1800 miles to
the westward which it has never be
come acquainted w’ith. For many
years we have been receiving checks
from individuals it has never met, but
hopes to in the near future.
Probably every other merchant in
town is in the same condition. By
taking this trip, the Seward contin
gent will at least meet the residents
of the many camps, and possibly oth
ers. Andy Grosvold, the king of Sand
Point, has offered to give the cham
ber a banquet and possibly some
thing to cheer them on their way.
j The towns of Kanatak? Unga, Belkof
slty, and Unilaska have sent greetings
and the announcement that the dele
gation come prepared for a good time.
MAKING SEWARD BEAUTIFUL
All over the town may be seen en
thusiastic men, women and children
are industriously working to beautify
their premises, due to the prizes of
fered by the Woman’s Club for the
best gardens this year. Seward has
a fertile soil and enquable climate,
and practically every flower can be
raised here that is raised Outside in
northern climes. There is nothing
so attrictive about a town as a pro
fusion of flowers. There will be some
lively competition for the prizes.
The Atlanta Constitution says noth
ing can be raised in Alaska. After
living here a decade of more we are
prepared to affirm that more hell
can be raised in Alaska than in the
forty-eight states combined, not
counting the Indian population.
