WALSH WOULD AID
ALL SERVICE MEN
Introduces Many Bills to Provide Bet
ter Care for Wounded
Service Men.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)

(By Associated Press Leased Wire)
Washington-Treatment for former
service men in the matter of hospital
care, compensation, vocational training
and insurance, was criticized severely
today by Senator Walsh, Democrat,
Massachusetts, who introduced sheaf
of bills to remedy conditions about
which the war veterans have complain
ed.
Senator Walsh pronounced "incred-
ible" some Of the conditions in ad-
ministering soldier relief laws.
Government bureaucracy" and cred
tape" was ascribed as reasons for con-
ditions.
That the three principal agencies of
soldier rehabilitation, the war risk in
surance bureau, the federal board for
vocational training and the public
health service had failed miserably in
co-ordinated efforts" was asserted by
Senator Walsh
To aid the veterans, Senator Walsh's
bill would provide a constructive pro-
gram of legislation including:
Repeal of the law forbidding pay
ment OF compensation to ex-service
men unless their disability occurred
within one year after discharge
Repeal Of the law limiting filing of
claims to five years after the armis-
tice.
Repeal of the law requiring veter-
ans to prove that tuberculosis OF. GER
tain other ailments were caused by
their service.
Payment of all war risk insurance
policies in three installments to bene-
fciaries instead of in 24O monthly pay
ments.
Permitting reinstatement with physi-
cal re-examination Of all lapsed poll
cies upon payment of two months
premiums.
A law for payment of lapsed poll
cies of men dying since the armistice
after deduction of premiums due at
time of death.
Decentralization of the bureau OF
war risk insurance, giving regional Of
fcials direct authority to accept or
reject compensation claims without
reference to Washinshington.

BAR WOMEN FROM
SERVICE ON JURY
Assembly Kills Bill Giving
Women Equal Rights
With Men.
DELAY INCOME FIGHT
Severance Resolution Put Over
for a Week and Legislature
Considers Aid for Settlers.

(Bv Associated Press Leased Wire)
Madison-Equal suffrage has not
qualified Wisconsin women for service
as jurors, the assembly determined
this morning when it killed the bill
of Senator Conant amending the pres
ent law so that the newly enfranchised
sex might serve with men in court.
Members of the lower house did not
explain their reasons for refusing to
concur in the senate bill. They did
away even with the formality of plac-
ing themselves on record in accepting
the judiciary committee report by
reclamation.
The bill Of Senator Huber regulat-
ing sweatshop labor, met the same fate
as the Conant bill and was killed 81 to
-33. 1t passed the upper house with
out objection, having the backing of
the state industrial commission.
Had the Huber bill been concurred
in by the assembly it would have re-
quired that all manufacturers farming
out work secure a permit from the
industrial commission, and submit to
stringent regulations.
Income Tax Fight Delayed.
The fight brewing over passage of
the Severson bill to repeal the secrecy
clause of the income tax law, was laid
over for week by the senate this
morning after Senator Claire D. Bird
had introduced substitute amend
ment.
The substitute, Senator Bird said,
was drawn to conform to pledges made
in the state Republican platform. 1t
would require corporations. to file
annual reports of profits and dividends
with the secretary of state.
Provision is also made giving income
tax assessors power to place persons
under oath and take testimony con-
corning their earnings. Subpoena
power is given, SO that application of
the income tax law by assessors would
be placed on the same basis as the
administration of the general prop
erty tax.
Administration senators would not
say whether they will fight the Bird
substitute. Some declared that it was
subterfuge to get around general re-
peal of the secrecy clause.
Extension of credit to. settlers
through state aid was approved in the
senate which adopted the Werden reso-
luton calling for az constitutional
amendment.
The resolution would permit the
state to incur debt of fve-tenths of
a mill for the purpose of making
loans to settlers.
The upper house refused to concur
in the Prescott bill setting a five dol
lar maximum on the charge of employ
ment agencies. Concurrence was given
the Hanson resolution calling for a
constitutional amendment to permit
sheriffs to succeed themselves. 1t will
now be voted on by the people at the
next general election.

one who has heard both sides of the

about Ireland being right in severing

Heinrich Lehman, 166 West street,

in the same position now that the
United States was in 1776. OPPRESSION
is on all sides and it is hard for the

TOO.
Miss Fannie W, Congress street,

than right that they should rebel.
