UNION SOLDIERS
WILL ASK STATE
TO OFORECO HOME
Veterans to Take Action at,
BartIeSviIIe Reunion,

TULSA, Okla, May l0-(SpeciaD
Members of the Grand Army of the
Republic in this city and vicinity who
will attend the Bartlesvlle reunion
next week will put before the old SOL
diers there the proposition Of asking
the state administration to iorcgo cx-
pcndturc OF the $4,000 appropriated by
the legislature for the Union Soldiers
home IN this state This proposition
will be made on the ground that such
a home is not needed at this time.
Il presume the intention is to use
ono OF the abandoned schools for
home said one OF the delegates to
the Bartlesvlle meeting, 'and very
likely the expenditure OF that sum
would not be required, but as far as
the Union soldiers are concerned the
state may retain the money until after
the end OF the war
"Thc fact is that Oklahoma hardly
needs such a home There are ma
tional soldiers homes in different
places throughout the United State,
and they are not filled Old soldiers
in Oklahoma tan enter any OF these
homes Many of them do not desire
to go 10 homes at all believe that
large majority of them are patriotic
enough to offer the state this money,
il it can be arranged that tax levy
will not have to be made for its coll
lection
Information has come to the Union
soldiers here that those in other parts
Of the state will favor such action.
They will take this action as their
contribution to patriotism
