SOLDIER RELIEF A
FINANCIAL PUZZLE
HOUSE COMMITTEE CONSIDERS
MANY MEANS OF RAISING
NEEDED FUNDS.

Washington. = How to obtain new
sources of revenue so as to provide
relief for former service men was dis
cussed by the House Ways and Means
Committee with representatives Of
soldier organizations, but without
common agreement as to the best
mode of procedure.
Many suggestions have been offer
ed the comnitte in connection with
its consideration of more than three
score bills. The problem has been
made more difficult, members say,
because of the conflicting views on
teh various organizations. There was
the promise that harmony of action
might develop.
A serious mbistake was made by
the American Legion in presenting its
proposals for soldier relief in the
form In which 1t did, the committee
was told by Col E. Lester Jones. a
member Of the Legion's Executive
Committee. He said the Executive
Committee would assemble this
month, and that he proposed suggest
that it formulate "a definite and sane
policy" for presentation to Congress
in a quiet and respectful wag"
Colonel Jones said he believed the
legion also should present well-or-
dered scheme for financing any plan
it proposed.
Discussing the farm settlement pro-
posal, the witness said that in making
an estimate some months ago he had
found that about $4,000 former sol
diers desired to take over farms.
While he approved in principle a
land settlement scheme, Colonel Jones
said it should nto be confined to va
cant public lands or remote cut-oyer
lands in the South and West but that
vacant lands in the vicinity of the
cities should be condemned and pur-
chased for soldier use.
A bill providing for a Victory tax
to furnish funds for soldiers bonuses
was introduced in the House by Rep
resentative Smith of Idaho

FIGHT OVER TREATY
NEARS SHOWDOWN
SENATORS LIMIT DEBATE AND
GET DOWN TOWARD
BASIC ISSUE.

washington. = Limiting debate by
unanimous consent, the Senate moved
swiftly to reduce its fight over the
peace treaty to basic issues.
-Four more Of the Republican reser-
Yations were readopted, two of them
without change, while negotiations for
a compromise on the keystone prob
lem Of Article 10 were pressed toward
a conclusion, apparently unaffected by
the renewed declaration of President
Wilson against any material weaken
ing Of the treaty provisions.
The presidents letter, coming at a
time when the Article 10 negotiations
were declared by one of their spon-
sors to have brought the two sides
very near together" was given
widely differing interpretations. But
the Democratic senators working for
a compromise continued their efforts
They told their colleagues they felt
free to act since the president had
not seen fit to say he would pocket
the treaty if it came back to him
with compromise reservations.
In the days work on the Senate
floor the last of the ID Republican
reservations except those relating to
Article 10 and league voting power
were swept out of the way, and debate
on the voting power provision was
begun.
The four adopted related to arma.
ments, the economic boycott, alien
property and the labor section, the
later being brought to roll call with.
out debate.
The letter from President Wilson
did not reach senators until late in
the day, and few cared to comment
Senator Hitchcock described it as
illuminating" Senator Lodge de-
clined to discuss it, and Senator b.
rah, Republican of Idaho, leader of
teh irreconcilable opponents of rati-s
fication. said the president had help
ed insure the treaty's defeat by
throwing cold water on compromise.

RESIDENTS LAUNcH CAMPAIGN
TO SECURE TEN MILLS MORE
FOR DISTRICT.
BONDS ARE INSUFFICIENT
Three Ways To Handle Situation, One
To Close Schools, One To Put On
Tuition Basis and Other To
Raise Funds.

Fordyee. - Professor Turrentine, ].
II. Thach and L. E. Purdy were chos-
en- as a committee to promote a cam
paign for a volunteer additional 10
mill school tax in Fordyce school dis
trict, to be collected for two years, at
meeting Of business men. A petit
ton asking the tax collector to col
lect such a tax was drawn up and the
campaign will be for signers to this
petition
About 80 business men met in the
A. B. Banks & Co. office at the re-
quest of Superintendent of Schools
Turrentine. Professor Turrentine told
the business men that he had called
them together because of the acute
financial condition of the Fordyce
school district. He said that the cost
of operating the schools this year
would be $4,000, and that the reve-
nues to be collected would be only
$4,000; that by the end of the year
all available funds would be absorbed,
and that there would be no money
left with which to open the schools for
the next terms.
The fact was also brought out that
a new school building is being con-
structed and that construction costs
were increasing and had already in
creased to such an extent that the
bonds issued would not furnish suffi-
cient funds to complete the building
and furnish it properly.
Mr.. Turrentine asked for sugges-
tons, saying that there were three
ways to handle the situation. One be-
ing to close the. schools for a year,
another to put them on a tuition ba
sis, and the other to raise sufficient
funds in some way to keep them in
operation. He said that Fordyee was
not the only town in Arkansas facing
such a problem, but that practically
all of them we're lin the same boat"
A tax Of over Il mills cannot be vot-
ed for school purposes in Arkansas
and, therefore, sufficient funds cannot
be obtained through the ordinary tax
alton channels Fordyce has for sew
eral yeras voted the limit, SO some
other means of obtaining funds had
to be devised. Two plans were sug-
gested. One plan was for voluntary
contributions of enough money in adj
dition to that derived from taxation to
operate the schools The more FEAST
BILE plan was for a volunteer addition
al tax. It was cediced to adopt this
plan here. The tax collectors agreed
to collect the additional tax from all
signers of the petition at the same
time they collect the rgular ak and
turn the funds over to the school
board All the business men present
signed the petition which was drawn
up before the meeting adjourned.

Presence of American Dele

American Relations.
BY HAL O'FLAHERTY.

Special cable to The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyrights 1920
STOCKHOLM. October 23-Oficial
notice that the United States intends
to send representative to the joint
league of nations committee probing
the Aland Islands question has been
received here with intense dissatis-
faction. 1t was thought that the in
vitation extended by the league coun-
Gil to the American government was
a mere formality and would be de-
clined.
1t is contended by some comm enta-
tors that if the American government
actually appoints a delegate to the
joint committee of inquiry it is al
most a foregone conclusion that the
United States will have to bear the
blame for every mistake made.
No matter which way the decision
on the Aland question goes it is bound
to create bad feeling, which is more
than likely to be directed against
those responsible for the decision.
The good relations of the United
States with both Sweden and Finland.
it is claimed. will be endangered
through participation in the investi-
CATION, for the reason that while the
other members of the committee have
been named by the league council the
American selection has been left to
the State Department.
