Hayden Amends Army Law
(BY H. S. H.

A RIZ0NAS representative in congress, Carl Hayden
n has way Of getting into the game frequently with
- bills and amendments which compel public approval
This time is amendment which he proposed for the
war army bill and which adopted by the house and
approved by the senate forms section No. of the bill
and provides that:
No bounty shall be paid any person to enlist IN the
military service of the United States and person liable
to military service shall hereafter be permitted allowed
to furnish substitute for such service shall any subs
tute be received enlisted enrolled in the military service
of the United States and such person shall be permitted
to escape such service to be discharged thererom prior
to the expiration of his term of service by the payment Of
money any valuable thing whatsoever consideration
Mr.. Hsyden's position that while the bill as it
stood contained affirmative permission for receiving sub
sutes for drafted into service there positive
prohibition He declared that in the civil war; national
and state governments paid S65ooooooo in bounties and
that of 10000 drafted in the north only $4,000
service Substitutes furnished by 5000 and
SO 600 relieved of obligation by the payment Of the
$500 communication
The amendment met with emphatically expressed sp-
prevail of speaker Champ Clark, who said
"The amendment offered by the gentleman from Arizona
to prevent substitutes the paying out by communication
