URGES SOLDIER LAND BILLS.
Representative Mondeil Says Former
Soldiers are Land Hungry.

OCIutCTS IGid
BY Associated Fress.
Washington. March 10.-Many for
mer service men are anxious to as
sist in retaining government lands
to provide homes FOR themselves.
Representative Mondell, Of Wyomins
said before the house ways and
means COMMITTEES which is holding
hearings on soldier relief legislation.
%, Mr.. Mondell did not urge passage
OF any such legislation at this time
saying he appeared before the COM
mittee to explain the advantage OF
the land bill which he has introduced
at the request Of the interior depart
ment.
At the government land opening
in Wyoming several days ago, more
than 1000 former service men ap-
piled for fifty small farms open
to settlement, he said. adding thai,
this desire to get back to the
farms" has been evidenced on other
occasions.
The soldier relief question was dis
cussed briefly today in the senate.
Chairman Warren. OF the Iappropria-
tons committee and Senator Ster-
ling, republican, South Dakota, pre-
sented petitions from soldiers oppos-
ing cash payments TO former service
men.
Opposing such payments, Senator
Warren said, the soldiers pay was
doubled, that generous allowances
were made him and bonus granted
when they were discharged.
Senator Sterling said bonus would
cost $4,000, 100000 while the people
were already struggling under an
enormous debt and Senator Thomas,
of Colorado, >interjected that if an
other bonus was given it probably
would be followed by a request for
still another one.
