L. p. Hudson, an official OF the
Federal Board, in speaking OF the
advantage OF having all claims set
tied with the least possible delay,
said he was making arrangements
to accompany the representatives Of

that any man who has his compen-
sation claim properly adjusted but
who has not as yet had his claim
for vocational training definitely
acted upon should personally appear
on the days mentioned, and he will
endeavor to see that the claim is
given immediate attention.
DR.. Meredith I. Samuel, in charge
OF war risk work in this State. said
that due to the reorganization of
the various soldier relief organiza-
tions which would undoubtedly take

citizen will be improved. Before the
session a%djourns in thhe fall the econ
omic structure of the United States
will be entirely made over, to the mu-
tual benefit of all of US.
We Are Getting Together.
Lord Lee, First Lord of the British
Admiralty, virtually admits that his
country is willing to revise its naval
policy to a plane of equality with the
United States. eve see the naval com
mittee of the United States senate"
said he in a recent statement, laying
down the principle that America shall
maintain a navy at least equal to that
of any other power. That is a claim to
equality which this country never has
accepted in the past and never would
accept save in connection with the
great English speaking nation which
sprang from our loins and ever holding
a great place in our regard and conf
dence."
1t is probable that an international
conference on the limitation of naval
armament will be held in the near flu
ture. President Harding's utterances
lead to the belief that the United
States will take the lead in calling
such a conference. The enlightened
attitude evinced by the British officials
gives hope that negotiations along that
line would be productive of tangible re-
suits. England has authorized the
building of some new ships, but she
has also retired some others that have
become obsolete. Of course building
by both countries would be continued,
but only to the extent necessary to
keep pace with improved design and
depreciation.
With naval competition between the
United States and Great Britain elm
mated, it should not be difficult for
other countries to reach agreements on
limitation of their navies. Efforts to
exceed the strength of either the Bril-
fish or American navy r absurd, and
nations of similar wealth and diversity
Of interests should recognize the fact
and adjust their naval strength to an
accordance with their position in in
ternational society.
Soldier Relief.
The first months of the Harding
administration will witness the first
oratorical steps that have been taken
toward relieving the disabled veter-
ans. The close of the Democratic ad-
ministration found the most of them
housed in flimsy, wooden fire trays in
the hospitals of the War Department,
or in dirty, ill-ventilated, and utterly
inadequate buildings leased or other
wise under the control of the Public
Health service. Tubercular patients
and those suffering from phychopa-
thic disorders have been among the
worst sufferers from neglect. There

IMPORTANT NEWS FROM THE
IVA ZIONAL CAPITAL
IN OUR WEEKLY LETTER RON WASHINGTON, {.

Washington, April l. (Special
correspondence)-Soldier bonus legis-
alton will doubtless come up again for
attention when the special session of
congress meets. The plans presented
call for an expenditure of at least a
billion and a half and probably two
olliions represented by bonds which the
puoilc Will be asked to buy. In con
Slderlng the question we should re-
member one OF two highly important
FACTS. One is that on December 81.
1870, the net debt of the United States
was S23, IT'S, 000, 900. Another is that
between now and the spring of 1929
$3.50, 900 900 of that debt falls due
and must be paid.
The Veto Aftermath.
1t is said that the veto by the for
mer president of the emergency tariff
bll! has had the effect of bringing huge
quantities of wool and meats into our
markets. One hundred million pounds
Of wool are reported on the wav to
American warehouses;, and thousands
of carcasses of frozen mutton and beef
are being stored away for speculative
purposes. Yet the cost of living re-
mains about the same. What little re-
ductlon there has been in the price of
clothes and food has been due to de-
1latlon and not to increased imports.
What has resulted is the threatened
ru1natlon of whole industries.
Freight by Gas.
Not only do increased rates on the
railroads reach a point where they dis
courage shipments and thus result in a
net loss in revenue, but the rise also
makes it possible for successful compe-
tltlon in the carrying of freight by
motor truck. Already these effects
have been felt, and preclude a further
increase to take al of the wage de-
mands of tn employees.
Economy the Cry.
The most recent issue of treasury
certificates, amounting to $4OO, 900, 900,
has been largely oversubscribed. The
banks are still loyalty supporting the
government in its need for short term
loans. But the ease with which the
money is forthcoming must not blind
us to the necessity of wiping out the
floating debt Of two and half billion
dollars at the earliest possible moment.
The call for economy sounded by Sec
rotary of the Treasury Mellon must be
needed if we are to emerge from the
debt burden that is now upon us. 1t
is certain that Congress and the execu-
tive will cooperate to effect every pos
sible saving, and every citizen must do
likewise.
Relief in Sight.
The probable Legislative program to
be- followed by the special session of
congress brings optimism to business
throughout the country. Relief from
financial worries will be the outstand-
ing feature. and with a stimulation in

was to remove those alleged defects

more for disqualification work. The
expenditure of that huge sum will be
under the direction of officials of the
Harding administration. The Presi-
dent has had conferences with off
GERS of the American legion as to the
better coordination of the various fed
eral bureaus having to do with SOL
der relief; he has personally visited
Walter Reed hospital neal Washing
ton and talked with the men whom he
seeks to benefit; and in other wavs
has shown his determination to leave
nothing undone to care for the dis
abled veterans in the most Efficient
way that human skill can devise and a
grateful country provide.

The reason for the rejection of bids

MARKETS ARE UNCERTAIN

Quinn Shephadson & Co.'S weekly
letter is as follows:

There is unquestionably promise of
superintendent Wheat production in
the southwest. Quite naturally with
such a prospect the large southwest
ern farm reserves are noticeably be-
ing marketed more freely. While it
is true that the crop is by no means
secured and that in the interim of
sixty days a reversed situation may
be encountered, nevertheless the i'm
mediate market trend is governed by
actualities, not possibilities.
At the lower prices foreigners took
considerable more of our wheat on
Friday and Saturday. This new ex-
port business, estimated for the two
days between 1000, 900 and S,OO0,O 900
bushels. checked the decline and raj
lied the May delivery price about five
cents over the low point.
At the moment there is but very
little to report favorable to higher
Coarse Grain prices. An upward
movement in wheat should be reflect
ed sentimentally in better prices for
com, oats and barley, or a renewed
EXPORT business of large proportions
should at the present extremely low
prices somewhat stimulate a sick mar
ket. 1t can be expected also that at
the low prices farm supplies will be
sold grudgingly and only thru abso-
lutte necessity. On the other hand, in
view of the heavy weight of stocks
in the farm reserve and at the pri-
marieS, it is difficult to find invest

decreasing wheat visible and liouida-
ticr of last week is counteracting the
influence of the bright prospects of
new Winter wheat. as we view the
general situation no important chang
es during the current week will likely
result in the absence of new develop

LOWER FREIGHT RATES

An announcement of utmost import
ance to farmers and business men of
Montana appeared in the Boston
News bureau of March 81. In all like
llhood it presages an announcement
OF a reduction in freight rates al
though no hint of the decision has as
yet found it's way into the columns
OF the daily papers. The dispatch
follows:
The Arizona State Corporation
commission of last Friday received
word from United States Senator
Cameron that western railroads had
decided to suspend for 90 days the
present rates on east bound traffic
and go back to rates prevailing in
August, 1920. AS interpreted by
members of the commission, this
means that the last increase of 81 1-3
per cent in freight rates and the 20
per cent increase in passenger rates
will be suspended soon"
