JONES CHAMPIONS BILL
Secures Adoption of Minority Report
On Measure to Reimburse
Indian War Veterans.

A dispatch from Salem in the Ore
gonian of this mornings issue says
AFTER a lively debate in the House
yesterday afternoon, Representative
Jones Iincoln and Polk secured the
adoption of his minority report favor
ing the passage of the bill appropri-
ating 100000 for reimbursement of
the Indian War Veterans for the use
of their horses during the Indian wars
Of 1856. The bill was then sent to
the House committee on ways and
means, where, under the provisions of
a resolution recently adopted by the
lower house, all bills will rest until
after January 80, when they will be
taken up and considered on their
merits.
Brandon and Hatteberg, the other
two members Of the committee on
Indian affairs, had submitted a major
ity report recommending that the bill
be not passed, but they failed last
week to secure the indefinite postpone
ment Of the measure, which was made
a special order for p. m. today. In
urging the adoption of the favorable
report, Jones said that, should the
surviving veterans be paid SO day
for the time they served the state, they
would receive only about $3.50 each.
He maintained that the debt was a
just one and should have been paid
many years ago. Jones said the
amount of the appropriation probably
would not be required to satisfy all
unpaid claims; he believed that not
more than $4,000 would be required, "
