Above all the other objections that are
found IN this plan there is one which ey-
cry true American should consider with
serious thought. 1t is proposed that the
government shall, by entering into this
vast field of rural colonization, control
the properties, and so the very existence
of the men who go upon these projects
through a long indefinite period of re-
payment, If, indeed, there would ever be
an end to such control. 1t is no fine
spun theory that thus to enmesh the prop
erty and lives of a million men with i'm
mediate government control, to make
them the subjects of bureaucratic admin
istration, strikes at the very root of dem
ocratic government. Men under such a
condition surrender their political vohtion

BOSTON, june 25.-The Herald pub
fishes a letter from former Senator Wieks
relating to Secretary Lanes proposal to,
reclaim land for farms for returning sol
dieis The letter follows:
TO those of our returning soldiers and
sailors who are eager to obtain reward
for their sacrifice in the shape OF an OPP
portunity to settle on the soil, no ques-
ton is of such vital importance as the
terms and conditions upon which it Is
proposed to afford them this opportunity.
In the land settlement scheme as EN-
bodied ia legislation now pending III con-
gress. the country is making a business
proposition to It's returning fighters. That
should be understood And they should
know whether it is a fair, sound and eco
momc proposition for them to accept. To
that end let rs survey briefly the main
features of the two bills now pending III
congress, the AlondeIl bill and the Smoot
bill, which are essentially alike in their
embodiment Of the soldier settlement
scheme champioued 10y Secretary Lane
and the interior department.
1t is proposed in the bills to reclaim

alton projects are contemplated, few
to include the swamp and cut-over lands
of the southern states and the rest the
arid lands in the West 1t is perfectly OBJ
vious that the expense of retaining these
lands will, IN most cases, be very large.
And who bears that expense? 1t neces-
aarlly falls directly upon those who set
tie on the land. Ultimately they pay in
the cost Of their farms every dollar OF
the bin for retaining these tracts, in
Guiding the expenses OF clearing, draining,

er they are allowed ~, - or 40 years To

they foot the entire bill just the same.

heavy because of this reclamation expense.
Much of the literature that has been in

department seems to be designed To place

TRANSFERS UNION

Teamsters Local No. 258 met We'd
nesday evening with a good attend
ance of both officers and members,
and much business of importance was
transacted. In addition to other
things a change was made in the
amount of the fees for membership,
and it was decided that after January
1st. 1920, team owners should pay $25
and drivers $40. 1t would be a good
idea for all those intending to join
our local to hand in their names at
once.
Our next meeting will occur on
December 3rd, and on that date of
fcers will be nominated for the en-
suing term. We would like to see a
full attendance at that time, as the
selection of a good corps Of COM
petent officers is an important mat
ter. Turn out, brothers, we want your
assistance.

JOTTINGS FROM 522

Regular meeting called to order by
Pres. Workman. The resignation of
Vice Pres. Siegel was accepted and
Bro. Swern was elected to fill the un-
expired term, and the regular bus
mess of the local was disposed of in
the usual form.
Bro. Bowman gave a short address
on the Plumb Plan, and it was de
cided that 522 should be placed on the
record as 1000 in favor of its adop-
ton. It's true our local is small, but
the 1000 basis is what counts in
everything. 1t is time, brothers, that
we begin to realize this. Let US have
1000 attendance. We have a lot of
business to look after and watch; for
instance, our congressman at Wash
irgton are liable to ring in a bill
after the form of the Cummins propa-
ganda, and if we don't attend meet
ings and keep posted we can not do
our part. 1t would be of no use to
spend money forming these leagues
if our mind and physical support are
not there also. And remember the
election of officers is drawing near,
and its every brothers duty to be
present at both nomination and cleo
ton. Then there is other business of
vital importance to each and every
member. If the roads go back to
private ownership on January 1st, do
you want to go separatively or col
lectively? Now is the time to decide
this, not to wait till such thing has

MACHINISTS UNION

Licking Lodge No. 80 l. A. of M.
was called to order Tuesday evening
at the usual hour by Bro. Joe Church,
president, with all the officers and a
large number of members present.
The minutes of the previous meet
ing were read and approved and the
general routine business dispatched
in short order.
Applications for membership were
received from William V. Moriarty,
apprentice, and Thomas F. O'Neill,
Inspector of engines, and referred to
the proper committee.
The Investigating Committee re-
ported favorably on the applications
of Dewey Cougill and James A. Gray,
machinist helpers, and they were
elected to membership.
An interesting letter was received
from William A. Glenn, an old B. &
o. employe and former member of
No. 80, now located in Tyler, Texas.
Bro. Glenn has fine job and has
been promoted several times. He
credits his good fortune to the rec
concentrations he carried from New
ark officials and reports a shortage
of men, good wages and plenty of
overtime
Congressman Ashbrook in reply to
a protest from our local writes that
he will give the Cummins bill his at
tention, and no doubt he will make
his word good.
A letter was read from the Fire
Fighters Union thanking No. 80 for
assistance rendered in securing the
double platoon system.
Bro. Wolfe reported on the agree
ment that an understanding had been
reached on all rules by the maange-

Mr.. Teuscher has had the machine
placed in the front window where it
can be seen at anv time. He also ex-
tends a cordial invitation to all to
come and inspect the machine and the
splendid work it turns out. One Of the

waltz artist, waltzed in with 3. We
won't say anything about what JOHNNY

Bros. Smith and Hummel are still
hunting and have probably got
couple of bears (or near beers) by
this time.
Prosperity has certainly reached

new overalls and new shoes, and they
all had the union label on them.

The proper way for Homer to culti-
vate or cure it is to subscribe for the

jewelry and that helper in the round
house had purchased an engagement
ring of the diamond quality for 10
cents. That will be O. K. Otto if you

COUNTY TRUCK CASE UP

The case growing QUITO the sale of
a motor truck to the county two years
ago was up in the United States dis
trict court at Milwaukee Tuesday. The
truck was sold to the county by Hall
Brothers and parties claiming to have
had a chattel mortgage on the truck
before Halls got it turned up and
claimed it. The county is not an active
party in the action as Hall Brothers
had guaranteed the county good title
and are defending the action. Hall
Brothers are represented by A. L..
Hougen and II. l.. Markham and Dis
trict Attorney Brady was also at the
trial to watch the affair for the county.
Later-Judge Geiger decided from
the bench at TIE hearing in favor OF
Hall Brothers, which is incidentally a
victory for the county.
