Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Oct. 3-Members a.
Lawton post. Spanish American wal
veterans. believe that the veterans OF
the war Of 1898 should come in for a
bonus of $50 per month for the time
they served and passed resolutions to
that effect at a meeting held here
Wednesday night. In their resolutions
they said.
Whereas the congress Of the United
States Is considering a bill to appro-
pirate public moneys for the purpose
of giving a bonus Of $50 per month tc
each soldier. sailor and marine who
served in the world war, and
Whereas, the soldiers, sailors and
marines who served during the wal
with Spain and the Philippine insur-
rection suffered as heavy a percent
age Of losses and as. many hardships
as those who served their country dur
ing the worlds war. therefore be 1t
Resolved, that Lawton Camp, No. 2
United Spanish War Veterans, petition
senator's and congressman from Iowa
to incorporate in this bill before the
congress a provision to insure the
same bonus to all the soldiers, sailors
and marines who served their country
during the, war with Spain and the
Philippine insurrection."
Local members here estimate that
there were about 5000 Iowans who
served during the troubles Of 1898 an
average period Of eight or nine months
and that bonus Of $50 per month to
these veterans would total about
$500, 900.
1t Is probable that the Iowa legisla-
ture will pass a bill favorable to a
state bonus for 100000 Iowa soldiers
sailors and marines who served in the
worlds war; Representative T. J.
ODonnell. Of Dubuque, expects to in
troduce a bill to that effect in the
house and Senator A. L. Rule OF
Mason City may introduce a similar
bill in the senate. Many of the mem
bers Of the legislature have expressed
themselves as favorable to it.
This would be in addition to the
bonus to be paid by the government
and would provide for $50 per month
for each month served. -. ..-..

which the products of the farm can be

ization. and r. G. Mcdowell. of Colum-
bus Junction, an officer of the Farmers
Cooperative and Educational Union, Is
the secretary. The resolutions adopt
ed include the following.
I'VE believe that the prevailing high
cost Of the necessities Of life is re-
sponsible for much Of the political.
social and economic unrest in this
country and that it presents a serious
problem demanding the most careful
consideration and wisest possible ac-
ton on the part Of our public officials,
Without attempting to so exhaus-
lively into all the factors affecting
present conditions 1t Is the sense Of
this meeting that one of the principal
causes is selfish profiteering and an
exaction Of unreasonably high profits
by middlemen who come between the
producer and consumer.
"The representatives of organized in
dustfial labor at this conference recos-
nize that the farmer Is not the party
responzible for the high price Of food
stuffs. and that, as the producer who
must face all the risks and hardships
Of production he is entitled to q larger
share in the profits which he creates"
