Why Do the Olympia
Lawmakers Delay?

Why has not the Lamping bill, to
give every discharged soldier and sal
lor $40 month for the period of his :
war service been passed yet?
Why the delay?
Are our solons at Olympia merely
bluffing when they say they want to
give immediate relief to the men who
donned the uniform?
Is it just bunk or camouflage?
1t took them only comparatively
few minutes to pass a resolution ask
ing congress to give each service man
an appropriation of $500. Congress
may or may not do it, In the mean
time-what?
Shall our Olympia representatives
sit calmly back and do nothing?
1t is easy enough to say: g Let
George do it," But congress is un-
certain. At Olympia, there ought to
be certainty. Our Washington SOL
diers and sailors must not be penniless
when they begin civilian life.
If it was right to ask congress to
give them some ready cash, it is right
that Olympia should appropriate
money, too.
Bring the Lamping Bill out-into
daylight. Let us see what's keeping
it from becoming law-immediately.
