California claims the distinction Of
having done more for the rehubilita-
ton of soldiers than any other state.
The governor has just signed Ave
bills favored by the American Legion,
one of which is to aid veterans in
obtaining farms, another provides a
million dollar fund to further the
operations of the soldiers welfare
board, another for sale of lands by
the state to the veterans to be paid
for with interest in period of forty
years. also bills providing for vcoa
