NO STATE BONUS
Ex-Seryice Men To Be Bene-
fitted by Other Legislation.
First Measure Passed by Pres
ent Session in House.

Altho no state bonus has been pro-
posed in the present session of the
legislature, the ex-service men would
be benefited under several bills now
pending. The first of these measures
to pass the house was the bill making
Armistice Day, November II, legal
holiday. w. p. Harrington. of Cove
City, an ex-seldier and member of the
American Legion, is author of this bill
which now goes to the senate for ac-
ton.
Spend $25, 900 for Medals.
Another Harrington bill asks for an
appropriation of $4,000 to purchase
medals for the service men. The
medals would be distributed by Adj.
Gen. c. l. Martin to all Kansans who
were in the military service of the
United States between April Z, 1917,
and November Is, 1918, as soldiers,
sailors or marines. # the soldier is
dead, the medal would he presented
to the nearest relative
A further measure introduced by
Harrington would grant to all honor
ably discharged soldiers, sailors and
marines of the world war all rights,
privileges, and immunities granted to
veterans of previous wars by existing
statutes. These laws provide. among
other things, for burial expenses to be
paid by county. for care of dependent
family at county expense, and for free
license to peddle goods.
- The American Legion is also back
ing law penalizing unauthorized
wearing of the organizations emblem.
A similar law is ON the statute books
with reference to members of the G.
A r., Spanish War Veterans and like
organizations.
