House and Senate Leaders Agree on
Measure and Will Rush II.

WASHINGTON. May 1.-THE soldiers
settlement bill is believed to be GER
tain of passage early in the extra ses-
sion of congress as the result oil
conference between leaders OF both
parties in the senate and house anu
officials of the interior department.
This legislation is designed TO pro-
vide rural homes for men who have
served in the military forces OF the
United States during the war.
Principal features of the legislation
are:
Firt-Discharged soldiers, sailors
and marines Will be employed at -
a day in the development of public
lands
Second-Those who desire may OBJ
tain allotrnents Of the reclaimed land
for farming at price to be fixed later
with liberal terms Of payment.
Third-Those who take over such
land may borrow up to $1,000 apiece
for development Of their farms.
All important provisions of the pro
r.osed measure were decided upon. and
the details now are being worked out
by experts of the department. 1t VIII
as the redraft is completed.
The bill will carry authorizations
totaling 100000. 900 and will empower
the secretary OF the interior to acquire
lands by purchase. or gift, in addiuon
to using public lands.
Projects will be developed in every
state where suitable lands are avail
able, but sites will be selected only
where there are sufficient areas to
form community centers.
The secretary of the interior also
will be authorized to put the lands
acquired for these purposes in condi-
ton for use and cultivation. This
work will involve irrigation in arid
territory. drainage in swamps. stump
pulling and 1eveling in cut-over areas
and general restoration. Including
clearing. in abandoned farming Sec
tions.
Roads necessary TO provide access to
the projects will be built.
The secretary will divide the re-
claimed districts into farm units OF
sufficient size to afford support to
family and smaller tracts for farm
workers who desire to cultivate
space for truck.
A cash payment Of 5 per cent Of
the cost of the farm will be required.
On a place costing 5000. which is ex-
pected to be the maximum. the initial
outlay therefore would be $3.50. The
buyer will have had an opportunity to
have saved this amount Of the wages
paid him while helping to reclaim the
land.
The balance may be paid in Install
