600 people in the IL counties constit-
uting his district and it is mans job
to care for their interests as he does.
1t is a sizable job to be Chairman of
the Pensions Committee as well as to
serve on other important committees,
and he is busy man.
A Friend of the Veterans
Mr.. Knutson is recognized as a
frlned OF the soldiers of all wars, hav-
ing been a member of the committee
since he entered Congress. In the
last Congress he assisted in securing
a minimum pension of $50 per month
for all Civil War soldiers and $50 a
month for the widows of such soldier !.
He was an ernest advocate of the
Sweet amendment to the War Risk
Insurance Act, which gave relief to
so many World War veterans.
He assisted in the passage of the
measure at the last session known as
the Sells bill, which brought aid to
several thousand Spanish War veter-
ans. He has introduced bill at this
session Oh. R. No. ~ which has been
reported upon favorably by. the Pen
sions Committee. This measure, if it
becomes law will increase the pen
sions of Spanish War widows, moth
ers and fathers to $50 per month. It
has been endorsed by nearly all the
Camps of the Spanish War Veterans
thruOut the country.
He has also introduced a bill to
pension Regular Army soldiers, (In-
dian War veterans) who fought the
Indians in the west and helped to
hold the border for civilization. This
bill will also increase the pension of
all Indian fighters who served 80
days to $50 per month, with a pen
sion of $40 month to the widows.
During the five years he has been
in Congress he never voted against
any proposition of merit proposing
benefit to the soldiers and their de-
pendents. Since he has become the
Chairman of the Pensions Committee
he has endeavored to bear in mind
that the country is undergoing a
change from war times to peace
basis and necessarily must not go
wild on pensions or any other meas
ures which require excessive appro-
priations.

stock. He loves to tell of hih boy

Rep. Harold KnutsOn
Has Made Good
(By N. C.. Messenger

Representative Harold Knutson,
(Minn.) Chairman of one Of the great
committees. of the House Of Repre-
sentatives, the Committee on Pensions
which frames the general legislation
on pensions, strikes you when you
meet him as a remarkable man, and
he is, his life's story proves. 1t is an
interesting story, away out OF the
common run of biographies and in
many Of its incidents, "reads like a
story book"
His is an attractive personality to
begin with. Ynu meet a stocky, well
built man Of merium height, along
about 10 He is smooth shaver, with
massive head that sits upon neck
resting on broad shoulders. He looks
you straight in the eye and grasps
your hand with firmness and SIM
eerity of touch which engenders con-
fdence in the man at once. He is aft
fable without being ELUSIVE, easy IN
manner but with certain natural
dignity which accentuates cordially
without detracting from 1t by sug-
costing intent to ingratiate. His
modesty and lack Of self-assertion
impress you at once.
He was in the Sixty-ffth and the
Sixty-sixth congress and reelected TO
whip" Of the House. There are goo
