xxIV.-MISSOURI

M&&RWM was actually
@ ~ l4D Soto at the
WA1sf gM time of his
&$SzM discovery Of
the Mississippi
pi is not definitely known. The
first authentic exploration of
this territory was by the French,
Joliet and Father Marquette in
1873. French settlers gradually
located in Missouri, in 1854 ST.
Louis being settled. This was
one year after Spain acquired
from France the Louisiana Ter
ritory of which Missouri was a
part.
Colonization greatly increased
after the ordinance of 1877,
which excluded slavery from the
Northwest territory, as this nat
urally detected many to the ter
ritory west of the Mississippi
who otherwise would have set
tied In the north. The slavery
question continued to hold the
stage in Missouri history. After
the Louisiana Purchase Ia 1903
added this vast western area to
the United States, emigration
increased to such an extent that
in 1929 Missouri formed a state
government and applied for adj
mission to the Union. Bitter an
tagonism Immediately arose in
congress against the additio1 of
another slave state. On the 9TH
er hand the slavery adherents
pointed out that Maine had just
been taken into the Union as a
free state and one state would
therefore balance the other. A
final settlement was made by the
famous Missouri compromise,
which accepted Missouri as a ;
slave state but prohibited slavery
In the rest of the territory north
of a line extending from the
southern boundary of Missouri
to the Rocky Mountains. In |:
deed, It was this agitation (;
which, temporarily smothered at !;
that time, burst forth in the Civ |
il war.
Missouri is in the forefront I
of the important states In nation /.
al politics as it has eighteen !;
electoral votes for president. Its |:
area is 69,420 square miles. !;

WASHINGTON. June Com
trary to prevailing opinion, the so
called soldier bonus legislation has
not been lost In the congressional
shuttle.
The measure Is not dead at an II
is very much alive and Is scheduled
soon 10 get into the headlines.
Unless present plans are upset, the
bill OF Senator McCumber. OF North
Dakota, Incorporating the four.fold
plan OF the American Legion. will
be reported TO the senate shortly and
will be passed. Indications are 1t
will pass the house. too. by an even
larger proportionate majority.
HOUSE PASSED 1T
ONCE BEFORE
This measure was passed by the
house n year ago. but because OF the
adjournment OF congress for the
political conventions and the subse-
quent campaign. action was delayed
In the senate. IL was reported by
the senate finance committee at the
| December session. But March T..
and adjournment sine die, came be-
fore the senate could act.
Senator McCumbcr does not In
tend to permit adjournment to delay
passage 1t this session. He II plan
ming to get II up shortly - that 1t
can be q law when congress enacts
revenue legislation.
Tho bill has been reintroduced by
McCumber in virtually the same
form as in the last session. He ex.
poets that II will be adopted by con-
gress with practically no essential
change.
Instead Of becoming effective
January /. 1928. as was contemplated
n few months ago. advocates OF the
legislation hope TO make 1t effective
July I. 1872. thereby extending its
actual benefits to former service
men a year earlier.
FIVE OPTIONS WILL

Five optional plans win be given
veterans: First adjusted service
pay: second. an adjusted service GER
tificate; third, vocat ional training
aid: fourth. farm or home aid. and

The plan provides that all persons

tween April S. 1917. and July /. 1919.
shall receive s1.25 a day for all over
seas service. and 81 day for each
day OF service in the United States.
In no case shall an overseas veteran
receive more than $625, while In no
event shall the man who was not
fortunate enough to cross the Allan
tic get more than $500. Officers
above the rank OF captain will not be
eligible for a bonus.
The adjusted service certificate
provides in effect that the veteran
is given a 20-year insurance policy
