RELIEF WORK IS
BEING PUSHED

The Sweet i'll providing means of
speedy relief for disabled war Veter-
ans became a law on August 8, and
under its provisions the central bu-
reau for handling all matters relating
to relief for veterans is now function
ing under the direction of Col. Chas.
II. Forbes.
Under this plan, the agencies for
veteran relief will be removed from
the jurisdiction of the Treasury De-
partment and the director will be dl-
rectly responsible to the president,
there by removing these relief agen-
cies entirely from political patronage.
Another feature provides that in
case of mental arrangement and .tu-
berculosis, that the burden of proof
shall rest on the government for two
years from date of discharge of appli-
cant.
In other words, if an exservice man
or woman develops either malady
within two years after date of dis
charge, it is conceded that such con-
dition is due to military service and
compensation will be Immediately a.
warded. Thousands of pitiable cases
will thus be automatically provided
for
In the mean time, before such de-
Capitalization takes place, Director
Forbes is sending forth cleanup
squads to reach many disabled vet
erans as possible under existing con-
ditions.
AS previously announced in the
Press, the cleanup squad will visit

CAN 7 SET POLES

City Council Puts Stop to Pro.
miscuOus Work on Streets by
Utilities.

Promiscuous setting of telephone,
power line or other kinds of poles,
stringing of wires, or the laying of
conduits in the city of Ell Centre will
not be permitted by the city trustees
and before any of the public service
corporations can do any work of this
to the city trustees and obtain a per-
NIT for the installation according to a
letter sent today to the heads of the
various public service corporations by
City Marshal Dave Matlock.
The discussion of the protection of
civic beauty and kindred subjects was
precipitated at the meeting of the city
trustees last night when the city
marshal notified the trustees that the
Holton Power company was preparing
to put up line of poles on Main
street to the east city limits, and that
the poles are already on the ground.
After lengthy discussion of the
question the trustees instructed the
city marshal to notify all of the public
service corporation that before any
poles are set or conduits laid that they
must first obtain permit from the
IL ChSSPl lOI Wolh WIlINh 10
done inside the original townsite of
the city Of Ell Centre, where such work
is controlled by the franchise under
which the Holton Power company and
the Holton Interurban company are
operating in this city. The telephone
has no franchise according to the city
records and its activities throughout
the entire corporate limits of the city
will be governed by the terms of the
letter written by the city marshal.
1t is not the idea of the city trustees
to take an antagonistic attitude to-
ward the public service corporations,
but they believe that it is to the best.
interest of the city that the stringing
of wires, setting of poles and other
extensions of the corporations be linn
tied to places where such things will
mar the appearance of any street to
such an extent that it would tend to
cause depreciation of property val
ues or be- hazardous to those who use
the streets.
The territory included in the orig
inal townsite of this city and which
is excluded by the terms of the city
marshal's letter is that bounded by
Orange street on the south, Adams
street on the north and having First
and Eighth streets for its west and
east boundaries. City Marshal Mat
locks letter to the companies follows:
| have the honor to advise you that
| have been instructed by the Honor
able Board of Trustees of this city to
notify all public utilities companies
operating in this city Nat before conf
mencing the construction of any lines,
setting of poles, stringing or laying of
wires, cables or pipes, within the cor
porate limits of the City of FL Centre
and exclusive of that portion of the
city embodied in the original townsire
OF Ell Centre, the said public utilities
companies will be required to procure
"a permit so to do from the said board
of trustees.

(Pv AScociata,} PraSco

CINCINNATI, Aug. 25-It is re-
ported that the matter of enacting
laws to govern rental residence prop
erty will receive serious considera-
ton at the annual convention of the
American Bar Association, to be held
in Cincinnati from Aug. 80 to Sept. g
The Committee On Noteworthy
Changes in Statute Laws, in the re-
port which it will present to the con-
vention at the session on Thursday
evening, Sept. l, will say:
"In the field of landlord and ten
ant law, we find recent examples of
unusual legislation. Shortage of
housing Accommodations has given rise
to an abnormal demand, with result
ant high rentals. These in turn have
been made the jurisdiction for legis-
lative regulation of rentals and terms
and conditions of tenancy. Rent leg
islation has taken the form either of
Q) statutes like those in New York,
repeating or varying statutory reme-
dies of the landlord in such a way as
to compel or induce him to accept
reasonable rents, or (2) comprehen-
sive legislation like that contained in
the Act of Congress applicable to the
District of Columbia which treats
rental property as affected with a
public interest and subjects the re-
lationship of landlord and tenant to
commission regulation.
"The New York type of statue SIM
ply takes away the remedy Of evic-
ton where the contract which the
landlord claims is preached is consid-
cred by the courts to be unreason-
able, as, for example, where the rent
demande by the landlord is, in the op-
inion of the court, excessive. The New
York legislature has declared as sex
landlord etaoi etaoi shrd cmwfy pet
cessive" any rent which is more than
20 per cent in excess of the rent Of
the previous year The landlord can
not evict a tenant who pays the reas-
enable rental.
Ihe act OF Congress authorizes
the Rent Commission of the District
of Columbia to adopt standard forms
of leases to fix reasonable rentals and
terms of tenancy and to determine
emi-judicially controversities be-
tween landlord and tenant. The au-
thority of the Rent Commission and
it's proceedings are analogous to that
of the interstate Commerce Commits
sion in the field of interstate COM
merce. Both types of statues have
now been upheld by the Supreme
Court of the United States as just
ifiable regulation of public property
in the interest of the public welfare
during the abnormal housing condi-
tions following the war"
The committee further reports that
one of the most striking features of
our recent statues is theabsence OF
any large amount of Reconstruction
legislation, with less, rather than
more in the line of regulatory legis-
lation.

Federal Authorities Propose
to Station Agents Aboard
to Investigate Intending g
Settlers in United States.
(By Associated Press)

Washington, Aug. 25-The trans
fer to foreign ports of part of the
machinery Of the bureau of Immigra
ton, as proposed in resolution by
Chairman Johnson of the House I'M
turning back hundreds of immigrants
arriving at ports who have sold their
homes to come to America, Secretary
Davis SAIL in a statement made pub
lie today.
The measure proposes to maintain
two agents at each of the principal
ports abroad, one a member of the
Public Health Service and one from
the immigration Bureau. The selec-
ton of immigrants would operate
through the visa system. which re-
quires the immigrant to procure from
his government Il passport which must
be vised by an American consular Of
ficer before hecan embark for the
United States. This visa, it is pro-
posed would be granted only after in
spection by the immigrant and health
inspectors.
At present the Secretary of Labor
said, the immigrant has no assur-
ance that he will be permitted to land
in this country. Many cases of path
etic nature are appealed to the sec
retary daily.
Recently a child of two years was
ordered deported in custody of his
mother on account of ringworm of
the scalp. The family had saved for
years, looking forward to life in the
United States, and had sold all they
had at sacrifice intending to become
citizens.
"The family thus separated" Sec
retary Davis said, "must cease to be
a happy family and must go back TO
Poland, whence they came, to misery
and want for they had used their mon
ey from the sa|e of their possessions
in coming to this country"
Other cases, the secretary said
would be humorous if they were not
so pathetic.
"a certain Hebrew merchant" he
said, "sen his brother passage mon
ey and offered him $40 week in his
store, the passage money to be re-
turned a little at time. Upon ar
his brother had sent him money and
promised him job. Technically this
was violation of the contract labor
law, and the brother denied that he
had advanced themoney and promised
the immigrant a job. Whereupon the
immigrant brother became indignant
and declared in effect that he been
double crossed little knowing that
he was signing his warrant for de-
portation".
The illiteracy test in many cases
works hardship, the Secretary said
but maintenance of agents abroad
can prevent much suffering due tc
ignorance of the law.
''To carry out the provisions of the
proposed measure" Secretary Davis
said, "it will be necessary for Con
gress to appropriate funds. Perhaps il
will eos little more than the pres
ent hit-or-miss method.
"In the interest of humanity Con
gress ought not to quibble at the
slightly larger appropriation neces
sary-if it is necessary.

Chamber of Commerce and his asso-

breaking crowd Friday evening at the
monthly meeting and banquet of the

in catering to the inner man is enough
in itself to attract large crowd to
the banquet.
