PROPOSAL MADE By A. A.
VAN DYKE OF ST. PAUL
Resolution Was Presented to the
American Legion Convention
In Duluth

Duluth. Mimi, August. 17.-Amend-
ments to the soldier bonus act pas
sed by the last state legislature,
which are intended to relieve the
present stringency and. provide reim
bursement for service men who have
not received their bonus checks, We're
recommended at the state conven-
ton Of The American Legion, In the
annual report Of A. A. Van Dyke,
tive committee.
Mr.. Van Dyke suggested that a
resolution be adopted memoralizing
the next session Of the legislature to
pass an amendment to the bonus bill,

ment reads:
"First.-Making the cash bonus
payable without affecting the right Of
the beneficiary to the full advantage
Of the original tuition act.
"Second-Authorizing the needed
changes In interest and methods of
selling bonds, so that money may be
raised to complete the bonus issue.
Third.-That interest be paid to
muses. to the amount Of their bonus;
SO that men who have had to borrow
to get them through the emergency
and win have to use most Of their bon
US to pay back, will not be penalized
for the non pal Iaent of the bonus"
Chairman VaIl Dyke reviewed the
activities of thu legislative commit
tee at the last s 5sion Of the legisla-
ture, commentiA, upon measures
which were submitted for enactment
but which will nCk be acted upon un.
I'll the next seEion. Regarding
these, the report sRys:
1--WE suggest THAI the subject mat
ter Of the files now pending, be re-
viewed and pushed at the next gen.
eral session by the new legislative
committee and that a committee on
education be appointed to confer
with the state superintendent for the
purpose of framing a bill along the
lines desired"
The latter reference was to the
resolution providing for the teaching
Of civic and American history in all
schools and for uniform system Of
physical training in grade and high
schools. Another bill provides for
display of the American flag over all
school buildings and in all class
rooms during each school day and on
all national holidays.

commented upon the splendid COOP
GRAFTON which the committee receiv-
ed from w. A. Curtis Of st. Paul,
Loren B. Roberts of Minneapolis,

stead of demanding 81 an hour, which
was asked by members OF the l. w.

choose to work by the hour because
of the large amount of overtime
