Our Unpaid Soldiers
/ sTATEMENT hN A. b MeMnlcn. pubIished

A STATEMENT 10y A. Il. McMillcn. published
~ in a recent issue of the Herald, pointed out
a condition with regard to the pay of soldiers
which is calculated to arouse the indignation of the
whole country. Mr.. McMillen covered the general
facts very completely lie pointed out that while
we have been subscribing large sums to provide for
the comfort and amusement of soldiers IN camps
and in France, and checrfully giving other and
larger sums to Red Cross and other war activities,
the War Department of The United States has per-
mItted soldiers to go unpaid and has left their do
pendcntS without the monthly pay-checks often
needed for the bare necessities of life.
II appears that the men actually in service in
France have been paid with regularity. But their
dependents NJ home 10 whom half of the monthly
pay check has been assigned, have not Jared so well.
II would not be surprising if "A few scattered M
stances of delay In forwarding checks had occur
red in an organization of nearly -four million men,
formed within a comparatively few months. But
the slack methods which pre- ;al in handling this
vital detail of the army direction. appear To have re
suited in a general failure 10 get their pay TO the
men. or that portion of il assigned, to their de
%pendentS M home.
Instances were pointed out Yesterday in Albu.
qucrquc whore considerable numbers of men dis.
charged from the camps have returned to this city
flat broke. These men have been forced to look mp
relatives or friends here In order tn get sufficient
money for meals and lodging, or for the small rail
road fare necessary to carry them to their home
towns and villages.
We are reading great volumes of magazine ma
tcrial about America $ gratitude 10 her noble sons
who have volunteered or gone willingly in the draf;
to the defense Of democracy. We are reading other
volumes of high flown dreams for the rewardine
of these same Young men. All of this material falls
very flat when it strnN the lad back from training
camp without hC pay, without a dollar in his peck
rts for food or transportation from the point where
in his government dumps him at rehabilitation, ia
his home town.
Possibly all of this neglect has been visited on
New Mcxiro'S soldiers. II that is the cuSt New
Mexico should rise as one man and roar a protest
that will be heard in Washington. If the condition
found here is general throughout the nation we arc
due for a national protest against such methods.
and HE sooner it comes the better.

M ELWOOD MEAD. consulting engineer Of
lVI the United States Reclamation service has
written a summary of soldier settlements in
English speaking countries, and of the legislation
enacted 10y those countries TO put land settlements
in which the governments cooperate, into practical
operation. The booklet, which has been printed
fot general distribution and careful reading. espec-
tally by those who will have TO do with legislation
looking TO the reclamation and colonization of idle
lands.
This folder shows conclusivcly. by quotations
from the laws of Canada. New Brunswick, Aus
traIla, the Union of South Africa. and others. that
the general plan of soldier settlcmcnt on the idle
lands of this nation, as proposed by Secretary of
the Interior Lane, is not without ample precedent.
We know enough of the results of government colo
Hizing efforts in Canada and Australia, TO know
that in those countries at least, they have proved
successful.
The laws complied by DR.. Mead have special
value net only as a help 10 a general understanding
of one of the greatest reconstruction problems
which confront MS. but because in most of the
countries included. the legislation quoted is the
outgrowth Of several years experience, prior to the
war, with a rural development under which land
was bought. Nubdividcd. improved and sold TO set
Hers on longtime payments. Provision for soldier
settlements. therefore, only made it necessary for
these governments to broaden their system of laws
and extend the policies already in operation.
An outstanding feature of these laws Is the
provision. for cooperation between the federal and
stats Hulhtllilf'N' III ' dlihtld ANU AlNiidlld III lHI-
ticular, and generally between the central govern
mcnt and the local authorities. In all of this lcgiS-
lation, modelled along much the same plan. it is
clear that this element 0f close cooperation be
tween the central ana state or local authorities. is
regarded as an essential of successful operation.
The actual administrative detail is usually left to
The state or governing organization.
Australia. with an area about equal 10 the Unit
ed States, has a very comprehensive scheme for
cooperation between the commonwealth govern
mcnt and the several state governments, under
which the states provide the land and the federal
government provides the money for reclamation,
whore this is NECESSARY. and for financing the I'M
provcment aud equipment for farms. Such co-opcra-
ton tends To make the movement truly national
because il cnlistS all sections of the country and
mobiliZcS in the service, whether soldiers or other
settlers. public agencies which have the practical
and technical knowledge needed to secure the re
suit with the least effort, time and money.
Cooperation of this kind, the author of this
compilation thinks, should hc the outstanding fca-
turc of oar legislation. II the movement is To he
national in the fullest sense, every state should
provide opportunities for its sons and should con
tribute to the expense and share in the direction

Though the war should cease i'm.

Embarrassing campaign and their ex.
planation is easily comprehended. In
the first place, 1t has been officially
estimated that IS months to two years
must elapse before all the American
boys can be returned from foreign
soil. There are the men of many other
countries to be transported home when
the war ends, so the number of boats
for use Of the Yankees will be limited.
Then there is also the fact that thou.

properties and stores of the United
States have not ben disposed of or
returned.
Immediate cessation of war actiyi.

grave problems connected with the
care of the men. Remove the great
motive which actuates every man at
the front today and throw him into
dull inactivity, with nothing much to
do but await his chance to return to
home and loved ones, and the work Of
keeping him cheerful increases in mag
nitude. The soldier welfare organiza-
tions foresee all phases of this grave
contingency. They foresee how great
would be the need for reading matter,

tion and the CHEEKY personal touch,

Jackson, high priest of the single tax
In Oregon, who accuses the country
newspapers of abusing him because of
the measures he has initiated to do
away with the publication of the delin-
quent tax list and to decrease the rate
for legal publications, says the Cottage
Grove Sentinel. This paper goes on to
state that its editor, who is secretary
of the Willamette Valley Editorial AS
sociation, wrote Mr.. Jackson on Feb

the organization for the express pur-
pose of discussing the merits Of his
proposed measures. Kaiser Jackson
haughtily ignored this letter and has
never given a reason for not wishing
to meet the country newspaper men

cowardly to adopt the suggestion,
knowing that he would be badly
