of this measure for the soldier This
press agent was not employed by the
soldiers who were supposed to benefit
by this legislation, nor by the depart
ment of the interior, so that there is a
natural conclusion that private inter
ests had something at stake
A different view is taken by the ma
iority of the committee One section
of their report reads:
"The late President Theodore Roosc-
welt advocated the soldier settlement
policy, as proposed by Secretary Lane,
in the last article which he wrote for
the press. President Wilson has urged
it upon congress in two messages. The
governors of % states have appointed
commissions to cooperate with the see
rotary of the interior, and all of these
commissions have expressed their earn
est interest in legislation of this char.

is: He does. The American Legion has

LIVELY FIGHT
OVER LAND BILL
Minority Report Assails the
Proposed S5OO,O00,O0O
Appropriation
PRIVATE INTERESTS
TOO MUCH INTERESTED
They Would Be More Benefited Than
the Soldier = No Unemployment to
Demand Such an Undertaking
jority Thinks Otherwise.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The Mon
dell bill, which is intended to stimulate
a backto -the-land movement among
soldiers will cause a lively fight when
it reaches the house of representatives.
The bill introduced by the Republican
floor leader, establishes national sol
diers settlement fund.- of $500,000,000
with which the secretary of the inter
Tor would buy tracts of land to be i'm
proved by naval and military veterans
Of the world war, and upon which they
would afterward take up farms. The
bill was reported last week.
Nine Republicans and seven Demo
cratic members of the public lands com
mittee reported the bill favorably The
remaining four members, Messrs. Smell
of New York, Nichols of Michigan,
White of Kansas, and Benham of Indi-
ana, all Republicans. have submitted a
report. declaring the bill Unjust to emil
lions of men who fought in the war,
and really "a great reclamation pro-
ject, which would chiefly benefit pri-
vate persons These contentious will
furnish the argument for the opposition.
The minority report asserts that the
fears of Secretary Lane six months ago
that millions of soldiers would find
themselves out of employment has not
been realized. Some economic phe-
nomena have occurred, says the re-
port, "and three quarters of the sol
diers have returned to civil life. and
there is a shortage of labor in the cities
and on the farms. Therefore, say the
minority signers, the need for the bill
has passed. The report says: eve
have witnessed the complete collapse of
the contention that the government
will have to give work to any great
! percentage of soldiers in order that
they may not suffer by being out oil
employment
The report goes on:
"The testimony of the proponents o
the bill shows that the scheme which
was originally to provide employment
for soldiers has become great reclaim
alton project. But such colossal plal
for reclamation of lands would neve
have been seriously considered had j
not been possible to link the name o
the soldier with it. And soon the in
