 When the house reconvened at $ l o'clock the bill concerning appoint ment of state aid for schools. tabled
 at the morning session, was taken up, 1 and on motion of Mir Eaton the matter ] was again taken up and temporarily 1 tabled.
 l The soldiers trust fund, which pro- vides for the investment in bonds of S2.5000o0, the interest to be devoted to aid dependent soldiers and sailors of
 the great war. and their dependents, passed in the senate came to the 1 house. It is substitute for the bill
 passed in the house which provides l that each soldier and sailor be paid a bonus of s30. The substitute bill or amendment. provides that the benef- ciaries shall receive no cash aid. and the fund shall be administered by an organization selected by the state board of control Benefciaries under this act are to receive no aid if aid is being received under an act passed al the present session for the aid of soi- diers and sailors and dependents.
 MT. Eaton of New Haven made mo- tion that the house concur with the senate and pass the bill.
 MT. Rogers of Manchester said il
 was an evasion of the whole matter
 and an attempt to let the republican
 party, of which he was member
 down easy. He said the legislature
 ought to be big enough to stand by 1 the act to pay soldiers a bonus of s30
 Mr. Talcott of Vernon spoke in favor
 ot the substitute. as the S30 was of nc
 ~a51 benefit for the soldier.
 Mir Gearv Of Waterford said it wa:
 2 nore, method of le;;lslation that tn,
 i5oard of control was to pay the none! oyer to an organization that is not il
 existence. It is peculiar. novel legisla
 tioO to rive an immense sum over to
 non existing orga ganization.
 : l Mir. Ctrisfopl1. of East Windsor. sai,
 he had attended the discussion of thi a bill in the senate. 4 charter has beer Q granted to a soldier and sailor organ 7, ization ad this would probably admin ister the fund.
 = Mr. Cowles, of Pennington, declare e that it would be well to pass this bil
 because the senate wants if. There = no hurry for action as the senate is i : no hurry.
 Mir. Carrie. of Nausatuck, said z was no benefit to furnish a tombston Il for soldiers. The men are not seekin ; charity, but it was duty for the stat to show proper appreciation for ser
 vice. He favored the s30 bonus an V was against the substitute.
 s Mr. Phillips, of Huntington, s,ai, = the senate had given this matter flu
 investigation and he did not believe i s many instances that the $3o would b s properly expended. The new bill give
 substantially permanent help to tn n soldiers and revere their memory. n IS IilOIe COlAlIteLUdDlS l1ldH udHQ1nS = soldier $50.
 y Mir. Shaw, of Bedding, favored th IS substitute bill and he believed the sol e d'ers themselves were III favor of tl1 !; bill
 = MT. Rogers, of Manchester, arose an n the slamming of desk covers greete H him. There was call for order and tt e speaker declared he would see that ol I0 der prevailed. MT. Rogers said I l.. would be heard if he stood there a l. day. He spoke strongly in opposite A to the bill.
 ., Mr. Morris, of Newtown, said he wa l. a veteran of the little war. and d al not believe it well to compel the so > diers to join an organiZati to g, | aid. He favored giving recognition [, [; all the boys. to give them all some ai ll and not alone those who would al ply to some organization and prov '- dependency. He was opposed to Il substitute and in favor of the origin e- al bill, to give each or the boys $50 .- Mir. Phillips said it was not nece
 ary for a man to join the propose
 organization, but merely to pro-
 legibili;y in order to get aid.
 Mir. King of Wiliis~ant said th CT substitute bill was not the bes' bi IS perhaps, but it was the only bil tn
 could be passed at this session, IS u " senate would insist, and that mea on the death of both bills
