CONGRESS SHOULD PAY
LIBERAL SOLDIER BONUS

The question of federal bonus for
service men looms large today. /
know of nothing that should be given
more attention or be settled sooner
with fair mind. 1t is absolutely i'm
possible that every man who respond
ed to the call of Uncle Sam, in our ma
TONS hour of peril, should be given
every reward and recognition with
in our power to give.
This subject was one Of the big,
vital ones discussed at the national
meeting of the American Legion, at
Minneapolis, last week. 1t was not
settled. There was a general feeling
among all the service men present,
that the federal government should
do more than it has done, but there
was also feeling that it was poor
taste on the part of the service men
to say just what gift should be made
to them. Personally, do not feel
as if it were gift; it is payment,
well deserved, for services, magnif-
Gently rendered. But the boys at Min
neapolis felt as if the original offer
should be made by congress, rather
than by them, so they held the mat
ter up, without definite action. After
being debated, one way and another,
for some time, a resolution was adop-
ted putting the issue up to congress;
for determination. Congress should
certainly not stop with the $50 service
bonus which it paid the men when
they were discharged. 1t should do
much more than this. The plan of the
sponsors of the federal bonus at the
Legion meeting last week was a
bonus of one dollar for each day in tie
service. This would mean 1895 for the
soldier, sailor or marine who was in
the service. for a year, $3.50 for two
years and SO on, proportionaJe
amounts being paid according to the
length Of time actually under arms.
The pay was small, the sacrifices great
and the boys are coming back home to
find the prices higher than ever before,
their little bit of money failing to tide
them over for long. hope Congress
will take this matter up without delay
and be as liberal with the service men
in their needs as they were with their
nation in its needs.-James NJ. Price,
in the Wisconsin Farmer.

ADDITIONAL RULINGS ON WAR
RISK ms. REINSTATEMENTS

A series of decisions issued by the
Director of the Bureau of War Risk
Insurance with the approval of the
Secretary of the Treasury provides
more liberal conditions for reinstate-
ment of lapsed or Cancelled insurance.
The provisions of Treasury Decision
No. At, allowing eighteen months from
the date of discharge for reinstate-
ment upon payment Of only two
months premiums on the insurance
to be reinstated, are retained. The
decision is liberalized, however, by
new provision that men out of the
service are permitted to reinstate by
merely paying the two months pre-
MUM without making a statement as
to health at any time within three cal
endar months following the month Of
discharge
After the three months following the
date of discharge have elapsed,
statement from the applicant to the
effect that he is in as good health as
at the date of discharge or at the ex-
piration of the grace period, whichev-
er is the later date, will be required
together with a written application
for reinstatement and the tender of
two months premiums on the amount
of insurance he wishes to reinstate.
In order to give all former service
men whose insurance has lapsed or
been cancelled. fair chance to REIN
state their insurance, including men
who have been out of service for eight
cen months or more, and who are
therefore barred from reinstatement
under the former ruling, special
blanket ruling is made which allows
all ex-service men to reinstate their
insurance before Dec. 81, 1919, pro-
vided that each applicant is in as good
health as at date of discharge or at
expiration of the grace period, which
ever is the later date, and so states in

N. D. LABOR
IS PLEASED
every Law the Best of Its Kind
Says Federation President.

every Law the Best of Its Kind
Says Federation President.
every law is the best Of its kind
in the United States. Taken alto
gether it is the greatest program of
labor legislation ever put into effect
in the country"
This is the statement Of President
S. S. Mcdonald of the North Dako-
ia State Federation of Labor in ref
erence to the labor laws passed by
the recent session Of the North Da-
kota legislature controlled by Nom
partisan league farmers.
North Dakota has been practically
without labor laws until the present.
Organized labor is weak numerically
and for that reason got no recognl-
ton from the political forces that
formerly controlled the state.
The striking thing about the labor
laws passed by the 1919 legislature
is that there were only two real Ia
Dor men in the two houses. In an
ordinary legislature it would have
been preposterous for two labor men
to have tried to get through on i'm
portant labor law, let alone dozen
or more.
But the 1919 North North Dakota
legislature wasn't an ordinary leg
islature. The two labor men, one,
George A. Malone, coal miner, the
other, John O'Brien, a barber, went
ahead and drew up THEN bills and in
troduced them. And the 100-odd
League farmers, in the two houses Oh
the legislature, furrishe the votes
that passed them.
Workmen's Compensation
One of the big laws on the North
Dakota labor program is the work
mems compensation act. This meas
ure is modelled after the Ohio and the
federal compensation acts, two of the
best in existence, but with improve
ments upon both of them. One big
| feature in which the new North Da-
| kota law is superior to almost all the
state compensation acts is that it
operates exclusively by state insur-
ance, instead of turning the business
of protecting the injured workmen
over to insurance companies, who

had her bond ready, excepting the
approval by Judge Hurry, which was
delayed until Wednesday because of
the fact that the Judge was tardy as
a result of late trains.
Carl Peterson, secretarytr treasurer

RAYMOND BLIND
PICCERS ARE
ARRESTED
Gamblers Run Amuck of the Law;
Other Arrests Scheduled to Follow
Shortly.

VIM. Best and Bert Heron, who
run a pool hall at Raymond, were
arrested last Saturday by Sheriff
Jack Bennett, charged with gambling,
which gambling took place on or
about February 9th, in the pool hall
at Raymond, where and when it is
claimed that a Russian residing in
Canada was separated from his
money, several notes and his Ford
car, in a vain effort to learn the in
tricate game of poker under the
able tutelage of Messrs. Best and
Heron.
The above pool hall operators
were brought in Monday and given
a preliminary hearing before Judge
Olson Monday evening. They plead
not guilty and after hearing were
held to the district court for trial
under a bond of $1,000. Atom
Howard M. Lewis appeared for the
defendants, and Attorneys Gunther
and Cudhie appeared for the state.
On Thursday, March 9th, informa-
ton was filed direct before Judge
Hurry, by County Attorney Gunther,
charging the same parties with the
violation of the state prohibition
laws, or in other words, blind pig
ging, a bench warrant was issued by
the Judge and they were arraigned
before Judge Hurry, plead not guilty
and was held for trial in the district
court under a bond of $1,000 each.
This is the first arrest for blind
pigging and it is reported that evi-
dence has been secured on several
other parties and other quick ar
rests can now be expected to occur at
any moment as the county authori-
ties are going to do their utmost tC

tion continued in its support of Mr..
Hansen as that gentleman stands
very high with the organized farmers
throughout the county.
However, because of the friction
among the citizens of that communi-
ty, and the numerous petitions from
other communities, it was decided to
select dark horse who was good
league farmer residing in the south
ern part of the county as a way out
of the difficulty, and the name of R..
G. Tyler was suggested and that
gentleman being in every way ac-
ceptable to the farmers organization,
and to his home community and
practically every fair and impartial
man that knew him, he was accepted
unanimously.
The appointment of Mr.. Tyler is a
splendid example of the office seeking
the man, for Mr.. Tyler was abso-
lutely not a candidate, nor was there
petition presented nor letter
written in his behalf nor did he know
that such thing as his appointment
was thought of until he was called
by phone and asked if he would ac-
cept the Office if he were appointed
and upon his promise to do so, he was
Immediately appointed, for a term
of two years.
Mr.. Tyler was in the county seat

WESTBY VISITED
BY $4,000 FIRE

Westby News: Again the city has
been visited by a disastrous fire.
Monday morning at 4 o'clock the in
habitants were awakened by the fire
alarm and were greeted by a bright
illumination proceeding from the
opera house block.
Upon investigation it was found
that the opera house was doomed, and
all efforts were turned toward the
saving of the adjoining buildings.
But the three buildings, the opera
house, Barry drug store and Wm
Flaskerud's pool hall, with most of
the contents, were consumed before
the fire could be extinguished.
The insurance on the opera house
is S2500; that on the drug store
building and pool hall, both owned by
VIM. Flaskerud, $500, $4,000 of
which had run out and had not been
renewed.
The opera house will in probability
be rebuilt as soon as the insurance
claims are adjusted.
