Let me repeat the relevant lines: No bounty may be paid to Induce any person to be inducted into -an armed force. If not -the language then surely the spirit of this legislation is violated by a combat enlistment bonus. I find it highly obnoxious to return to a system that caused riots during the Civil War. It was the system of bounties and substitutes .that found recruiters wandering through the immigrant sections of our largest cities offering bonuses to the poor in order to remove the threat of the draft from -the wealthy. We would be doing the same. If any Member can explain to me why the following scene could not take place.
