The Soldiers Bounty bill and the Agricultural
Lands bill were passed by the House, but squelched
by tine Senate. The War Senator from Michigan
has helped to defeat them besides having been
mainly instrumental in routing the Australian
subsidy lobby. The Treasury has had narrow
escape of several OF these plundering schemes.

been carried through with the aid of an unscrupu-
lOus lobby, PLAIN folk may well stand aghast at the
costliness OF the luxury called Congressional
legislation.
