L Legislative Aid to
Assist Service Men
Get Farm Land
Republican Congress Will En-
act Equitable Land Set
Element Laws.
WASHINGTON, MAY 12.-

WASHINGTON, May 12.-
Looming large ahead of the
new congress, among many
other great questions, is the one
of land settlement. That the
new congress will find some
practicable method of aiding
the soldiers, sailors and ma
rines who served in the great
war to obtain lands is generally
agreed by the republican lead
ership at both ends of the cap
itol.
Early in the session, the re-
publicans on the public lands
committees expect to take up
the problem and deal with it in
a broad way. 1t is proposed to
make it possible for the man
who has faithfully served his
country under arms to get land
for agricultural purposes and
develop it. 1t is proposed to af-
ford him such government
credit as will make it possible,
even if he has no capital of his
own, to go back 70 the land.
What is more, efforts will be
made so to shap the proposed
legislation that it will not be all
words and nothing substantial.
Last session, there was obiec-
ton to the plan then proposed
on the ground that it was in
tended to get soldiers, sailors
and marines to take up a lot
of southern swamp lands and
lands of dubious AGRICULTURAL
value in localities not inviting
for men from the northern,
northeastern or western states.
In the new congress, efforts will
be made to shape the proposed
law so that it will afford intend
ing settlers who have served
their country a real chance to
take up with the best agricul-
tural land of the west, as we'll
as other sections, which for one
reason or another is available
for being opened up to agricul-
tural use. For one thing, it is
believed there are still large
possibilities for irrigating lands
in some of the western states,
possibilities which have never
been realized. The best brains
in both houses will try to evolve
plans which are workable and
will add many thousands of
men to the list of the country's
farm owners.

Reports that there is anything like
a final alignment of the senate are not
well-founded. Comparatively few
senator's, save those committed to the
covenant from the start, have said
how they will vote on the final test.
Just what the parliamentary situa-.
ton will be is not yet plain and can
not be until the text OF the peace
treaty is given out. 1t is obvious
there will be great debate and hard
controversy over amendments pro-
posed to the covenant and probably
theshardest fight of all will rage about
he provisions that look to the guar
2ntee of territorial integrity of ma
tions, which means underwriting of
the boundary lines of the world as
he league maps them out.

Rigid Investigation
Of Waste Promised
Extravaganza in Governmental
Departments Has Reached
Proportions of Scandal.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-
Sharply arraigning extrava-
gance in the departments and
declaring the financial outlook
for the government not encour-
aging, Representative w. R.
Green, of the house ways and
means committee calls for dras-
tic retrenchment. He is indig-
nant over the fact that while
the American people are patri-
Otically subscribing to the Vic
tory loan government officials
are wasting money.
"The outlook with reference
to the financial affairs of the
government is anything but en-
Icouraging" said Representative
Green. "If, as was provided
in the revenue bill passed by
the last congress, only $4,000
100000 of revenue is raised, a
huge deficit is impending for
the ensuing fiscal year. In any
event we will have to have an
other bond issue. The Difficult
ties in the way of raising reve-
nue. are constantly increasing,
as war profits no longer exist,
although the government con-
tinues to pour out large sums
in fulfllment of contracts. We
can and should get additional
revenue from customs duties,
but out foreign trade is in an
altogether abnormal situation.
There is much complaint
with reference to heavy taxa
ton, but we cannot always go
on issuing bonds to pay the in
terest on former bonds. We
ought at the coming session not
only to enforce a budget system
upon the administration, but in
stitute drastic retrenchment in
expenses.
"The number o. unnecessary
employees in Washington is fast
becoming public scandal and
while a few are beng released,
preparations are now being
made to take more on. The
various committees on .eXpendi-
lures in the several" depart
ments ought to get Ousy at once
at the opening of the session to
cut down expenses. All through
the war, these committees have
been as silent as the grave, not
even venturing to meet"
Representative Green cited
specific instances of waste
which he said called for in
quiry.

COMMISSIONERS
ASK FOR ADVICE

The beginning OF construction WORK
IN the .system of public highways
throughout Imperial county depends
unon the people of the county, and
whether they are willing to place the'r
official sanction upon the issuance
of bonds for the purpose. The COM
mission of F. S. Lack, l.. j. Thomas

proposed routes and getting estimates
on the cost of material and labor, be-
Geye the total amount necessary TO
expend will be much larger than was
they do not feel warranted IN gong
ahead with their plans without full
and complete authorization. lher
findings and views are set forth IN the
following letter, given out today:
"After several visits to Los Angeles
and other districts, we find that
labor and material, cement and freight
rates have increased to the extent that
it is not possible for us to construct a
system of roads in Imperial valley
at a figure under approximately $2O,-
600 per mile. With this knowledge
at hand, we feel it would be unfair
to the people to attempt construction,
when only one-half Of our program
can be completed, without first beng
able to receive from them their rec
concentrations.
"The roads should be constructed
and at as early date as possible, or
that we feel assured, and the entire
program as laid out in our recommen-
dations, does not give us even the en-
tire main artery system that we
should be entitled. In order to COM
plete the program it will be neces-
sarv for us to vote an additional bond
issue. which we can do at this time,
because the valuation of the county
has been increased.
"Attention is called to the fact, for
the purpose of making it clear that
in case system of roads were con-
structed in any one particular locality
GOOD roads would be at disadvantage
because where the good roads existed,
the people would be inclined to vote
AGAINST another bond issue. This bond
issue is paid by the people of the val
lev and the commissioners will use
every fair means of informing you IN
advance, exactly what the results are
expected to be.
