WTERESTS PUSH

"SOLDIERS' BILL

Big Fight Expected on Meassure, Which Comes Up Soon.

nv io r is ia'ih.ow. WASHINGTON. I. C. Auer. 12.--j M fU:ht i loominK up over tho f-o-nlled poldiern' land bill, which his "-n reported out of committee snd 's now on the calendar to bo ten up within a short time. A minority ef the committee, of which Hep. IlT.ham of Indiana Is a leading spirit, has filed a minority re-

I ort on th bill, attacking it Hfvrrplv ö.h cotosf-al reclamation scheme", to Le put over In the name of the i-ol'ier. and a j?reat injustice to mil1 on of returned soldk-rn. . Th bill is sponsored -by Rep. i'rnnk Mnndeil of Wyomlr.fr. the majority leader, and he intends to pu?h it h'ird o8pit the powerful opposition to It that in especially in evidence In the mates cast of the Mis:.!ppl river. Soldiers Oppos Hill. M ich of thiH opposition comes from the soMic-rs themselves. When i.ieut Col. Theodore Hoos.-velt. jr.. wis here a few days aco to l ok niter legislation of interest to the ;-oldiers he told Rep. Mondell very frank I v that the soldiers do not want his till passed. Roosevelt is MP-'d to the payment of a money bonus to the soldiers, also, and hinks that a plan miht be worked out whereby soldiers could receive technical and vocational training, whether they are disabled or not. The 'xlstintf law provides such training .'or disabled soldiers. Th mincity report on the soldi erV land bill ia of decided interest. It asserts that the fear.s of .ec'y of Interior Lane six months. ;ii,o that millions of soldiers would find themselves out of employment have not been realized. Shojtajri of Labor. "Some economic phenomena have occurred." says the report. "and three Quarters of the soldiers have returned to civil life and there is a shortage of labor in the cities and on the farms." , Tliorefore. say the minority signers, the need for the hill has passed. The report says: "The testimony of the proponents of the hill shows that the scheme which originally was to provide employment for soldiers has become a ureat reclamation project. But such a colossal plan for reclamation of lands would never have been seri

ously 'oniderrd had it not been j

pos-ihl' to link the nam- of 1h- soldier with It. And soon the inevitle "elfish lnterf.s appeared. Men who have much to pain In the up. huildini of certain localities beaan to talk about "helplnc the woldier.' the while they labored industriously in behalf of this bill which propo.-ri not to Mc'alm public lands only but for th most part that the government shall buy th land that they shall afterward reclaim and sell to the soldier. Hire Publicity Man.

"A publicity au-cnt was put to I work spreidins: propaganda all ov r the country. With every member j of con cress favorable to th" enactment "f some legislation for the sol-

di'-rs welfare, an aent was employed by the Southern Settlement and Development Co. "With brazenneps nmountinc almost to effrontery, this prr ?s a cent attended all open meetings of the committee and then cave to tne papers of th country clowinc accounts of what was claimed to be the beneficial provisions of this measure for the soldier. This pres.s afrent was not employed bv the soldiers, who were supposed to benefit

by this legislation, nor by the department of interior, so that there is a natural conclusion that private interests had something at stake. Committor I.h Favorable. A different view is taken by th majority of the committee. One section of their report reads: '"The late Pres't Theodore Roosevelt well advocated the soldier settlement policy, as proposed by Sec'y Iine, in the last article which he wrote lor the press. Pres't Wilson has urced it upon eoncress in two messages. The governors of U7

states have appointed commission.

to cooperate with the secretary of the Interior, and all of these commissions have expressed their earnest interest in legislation of this character. "The most vital question that can be asked in regard to this policy is this: Does the soldier want it'." Th answer is: 'He does.' The American I.ecion has officially indorsed the bill. r.fter a consideration of its provisionsl"p to the present writing 112.0SK soldiers have made formal application for opportunities of employment and home-cettinc under the terms of this hill. The number, which is increasing every day, ranc-s all the way from 6.732 in Illinois to $60 in Delaware."
