should fall short of the needs of
the worthy ex«service men unable to
support themselves and their depend-
ents.
This recommendation was decided
upon in view of the fact that the un-
certainties of the present abnormal
times made it appear practically im-
possible to determine what amount
should be added to the soldiers' fund.
it was testified at the hearing before
the committee that while the income
of a 35.000000 fund could be used to
good advantage at this time. it would
he more that what would be needed
when conditions returned to normal.
in the latter event. the state would
to deprived of the income of this ad-
ditional $2,500,000. The 8200.000
which it is proposed to leave with the
board of control is practically equiv—
alent to what the income would be
on an additional 82.500.000. but by
following this method. what is left of
the S‘JOttfinu would revert to the
state treasury at the end of the bi-
ennlum. It would be in the discre‘
tion of the board of control to limit
drafts on this appropriation “25,-
