PARTIALITY IS CHARGED
IN SOLDIER BENEFITS
National Army Lieutenant Gets SIS
Per Month for Lost Arm; Reg
ular Receives $157.

Washington, D. C.-Unfairness by
the war department in adopting a sys-
tenn of unequal benefits to regular
and national army officers wounded
in the service of their country has
been charged by Representative Stew
enson of Illinois, in a speech in the
house.
81 want" he said, "to direct the at
tention Of congress to an injustice, it
seems to me, in providing for the dis
abled soldiers of the national army.
l was out at Walter Reed hospital re-
Gently and saw a young man from my
country, a first lieutenant, who had
lost his ARM. He called my attention
to the fact that he was certified as
being fifty per cent disabled and was
entitled, therefore, to one half the pay
of a private, or SIS per month. He
was in the national army. He was a
man with a business which was worth
$4,000 a year to him. He went into
a training camp. He got to be first
lieutenant, and in the Argonne for
est he lost his arm just at the should
err, and now is entitled to SIS a month
as compensation.
"On the other hand, a first lieuten-
ant who is in the regular army-and
this is where the injustice appears
in the same ward, suffered the same
way and is retired at three-fourths his
pay, which amounts to about $157 per
month. Very naturally the distinction
between the man who went into the
national army and who suffered eX-
actly the same disability and vas CIV
en- SIS a month and the man who was
put on S157 a month is bound to raise
considerable criticism and properly so.
In the same hospital there is a col
onel who lost his leg. He certified at
about so per cent disability and is
given SIS a month compensation, half
of a soldiers pay. A colonel in the
regular army who has the same dis
ability is retired at around 1926 a
month. That is a condition that is
arising everywhere, and the house is
going to be confronted with a pretty
persistent demand from those who
have been in the national army to
bring about the same appearance of
justice as between the men who ser
we'd in the national army and the men
in the regular army.
with the privates it is practically
all the same. | remember the enthus-
iasm with which we here sought to
put everybody on an equality in this
matter of compensation, and by which
a private and an officer were placed
on the same equality. But if you do
that and do not put the regular army
officer on the same plane, you have
done a great injustice to the man who
went into the national army"

OUTLOOK Is BRIGHT
IN RED RIVER VALLEY

Fargo, June 19.-The splendid out
look for a big crop of small grains is
having the effect of booming business
throughout the Red river valley, while
central and western North Dakota,
where conditions have been greatly
improved within the past few days by
heavy rains, also are feeling the eff
feet of the generally optimistic atti-
tude.
In the Red river valley the prospect
is especially good. Fine weather pre-
walls now for the Development OF the
grain, and it is advancing rapidly.
Much Of the wheat is ready to head,
and only five or six weeks more OF
good weather is required before the
grain will be ready for the binder.
Eastern North Dakota and western
Minnesota have been remarkably free
from storm damage or from pest dam
age this season. The western part Of
North Dakota, where the grasshopper
menace was deemed quite serious for
a period, has come through in much
better shape recently, and the indi-
cations are that the menace has been
successfully met by the group of farm
agents who have been dealing with
the situation.

HALF MILLION DEFICIT
ON RAILROAD CONTROL
Director General Hines Makes Clear
Actual Loss to People Will be
Even Greater.

Washington, D. C.-That the public
already has a deficit of nearly a halt
billion dollars to make up for the
railroads and that there will be nc
return to the people for this outlay is
one of the points made clear by Direc-
tor General Hines of the railroad ad-
ministration before the house appro-
priations committee.
Mr.. Hines was before the committee
to advise it that the railroad admins
tration was asking for $1,000, 900 900
instead of $3.50, 600, 1000 which it asked
at the last session. He said the $780,
$1,000 did not include anything on
account of deficit in 1919. The half
billion dollar deficit already referred
to will, of course, be much enlarged
by the end of the present calendar
year.
taking the appropriation of ST.
zoe, 1000, 900 which we now SEEK" said
Mr.. Hines, II think the best way to
give a general picture of the situa-
ton is to show what would be the
disposition of the funds of the rail-
road administration if it should receive
that 81, 200, 00O, 900, and that, of course,
would be in addition to the $500, 00O,-
600 which was appropriated when the
federal control act was passed. On
that assumption the total funds appro-
priated for the railroad %administra-
ton would be divided, roughly, into
four items, three of them large and
one relatively small.
Zone would be $780, OO, 900, the de-
ficit for the calendar year 1918 and
for the first four months of 1919.
"Another would be $685. 900 900 for
working capital, both that which was
on hand December 81, 1918, and the
additional working capital which it is
important to have in order to conduct
the business without transactions such
as payments for materials and sup
plies and the payment of wages.
"The next item would be $775,000,~
600 which has either been advanced for
the account Of the railroad corpora
ton or will have to be advanced ac-
cording to the best estimates we can
make for this purpose.
"The remaining item would be $14,-
100000 invested in equipment for the
inland waterways, which equipment
was purchased in pursuance of the
policy outlined in the federal control
act.
"Those four items, s48G, 600, 900 de-
ficit, s425, 000, 900 working capital,
S775,000, 900 for the railroad corpora
tons and which is to be returned by
them, and S14,OO0,OOO for the inland
waterways, total 81, ZOO, 900 900 which
would be put at the disposal of the
railroad administration if the present
appropriation We're given in addition
to the $500, 900 900 already given. Of

BIG FIRE AT OUTLOOK
DOES $4,000 DAMAGE

Fire broke out in the second story
of Joe Cariins Hall about 200 a. m.
Wednesday morning, and completely
destroyed the whole southeast block
Of Outlook, Montana. Among the
buildings that were destroyed were
Carriin's hall and warehouse in the
rear, the Motor Inn garage and the
Outlook hotel, together with several
other small buildings in that block.
The cause Of the fire is unknown. The
estimated loss is placed at $4,000,
with but $4,000 insurance to cover it.
1t is understood that those whose
places of business were DESTROYED
will rebuild shortly.
The Glasgow courier. [volume] (Glasgow, Mont.) 1913-current, 1919-06-27

chief of operations, and r. H. Lehigh,
acting chief of navigation, also asked
the committee to authorize a larger
naval force than the house plan of
PAL 900 men until October ]; 10000
until January l, and III, 900 there
after. Both recommended that $780,
900 men should be allowed until Octo-
Der l, and an average Of 10000 for
the balance of the year.
Captain Craven declared that Eng
land intended to spend 100000 900
next year for the development of avi-
alton and France 5000, 100000.
Plans for the construction Of dirig-
ibles would have to be abandoned if
the senate did not increase the appro-
priation, Captain Craven said, and ex-
detrimental work on heavier-than-air
craft would have to be curtailed.
The program for dirigible construc-
ton, the captain said, included the
erection Of two hangers at a cost of
100000 each, the purchase of one
of the latest models of British dir
igibles for $2,500,0OO and the con-
struction of two more in this country
at a cost of $4,000, 900 each.

JAIL MADE WAREHOUSE

that total of 81, 700, 00O, 000, the part
that represents moneys that will not
be returned to the government is the
$4s6, OOO, 900 deficit.
"The $425,O00,O00 working capital
will be returned as federal control
is ended, and the accounts with the
railroad corporations settled. The
SITS, 900, 1000 which has been advanced
or will be advanced or account Of the
railroad corporations will be returned,
subject, Of course, to the possible loss
of some bad debts, which 1 anticipate
will be relatively small, and, broadly
speaking, that item would be return
ed. The $14,OOO,OO0 would continue
to be used on the inland waterways,
so that of the entire 81 LOO, 000, 900
only the first item, or 1886 ,000, 900,
represents an actual outlay with no
prospects of return, and I wanted to
devote myself, first, to putting before
you in a broad way the facts, as l un-
derstand them, relating to that item"
