WEST F[OCKS
To SUPPORT Of
VET LAND PLAN
South Also Backs McNary Bill
as Part Of Soldier Bonus
Measure.
BY International News Service.

Western and Southern Senators
united today in supporting the Nc
Nary amendment to the soldiers
bonus bill which would provide
homesteads and farms for ex-service
men in carrying out the $3.50, ,000, 900
project for the reclamation of thou
sands Of acres of Western arid and
Southern swamp lands.
The amendment was intended to
make the McNary reclamation bill
as reported favorably by the Senate
Irrigation and Reclamation Com
mittee an integral part Of the bonus
measure.
II have offered the amendment
because I believe no legislation in
tended to benefit the ex-service men
is complete unless IL contains a pro-
vision embracing some practical
plan of land settlement" said Sena-
tor McNary Rep.) Of Oregon.
Secretary Fall said after COM
pleting careful survey there is
abundant evidence Of a great desire
for farm homes by ex-service men.
Records of the general land office
and the reclamation service show
hundreds of thousands of inquiries
have been received from them re.
garding the possibilities of land
settlement and employment in the
construction of reclamation projects.
The inquiries came largely from
farm trained men who were not
appealing for a gratuity, but were
seeking an opportunity to. acquire
homes.
"A splendid opportunity is given
Congress to provide for the reclama.
ton of lands that now want for
water but which can be made fertile
and lands now burdened with water
but which can be made productive.
Ex-service men who desire to cast
their destiny In the open country
can find rural fields for the employ.
ment Of their energies. The social
and economic evils that attend the
crowding Of cities can thus be
partially averted and a happy and
healthful balance between rural and
urban life maintained"

LOEW'S COLUMBIA
Gloria Swanson.

TTE second weeks engagement
Of Her Giided Cage" began
at. Loew's Columbia yesterday
afternoon, where showings OF this
picture were received with every
evidence OF interest and enthus-
iasm by the crowds who attended
the various performances. This
play is q romantic drama notable
for the beauty Of its costumes,
the splendor of its backgrounds
and for the opportunity It affords
Gloria Swanson to display her
emotional powers. The settings
and costumes defy description.
Based on a story by Anne
Nichols, Her Gilded Cage" was
scenarized by Percy Heath, super
vised by Elmer Harris and directed
by Sam Wood, who has entrusted
the principal supporting roles to
David Powell, Harrison Ford. Anne
Cornwall, Walter HERS and Charles
A Stevenson. The story reveals
Miss Swanson in the role of a
French girl who, to support an IN
valid sister, becomes a dancer and
in order to enhance her reputation
and her financial value as an en-
tertainer, allows her name to be
associated falsely with that Of a
dissolute monarch. This brings
her fame and luxury beyond her
dreams but cuts her off from the
love of a man who honestly adores
her. The picture shows how the
truth Of the dancers sacrifice is
revealed and her dream Of love
and happiness realized.
Her Gilded Cage" is supple
mented by beauty contest pic
lures, q short screen comedy, In

NEW YORK, Aug. 2s.-Abolition
Of elevated and surface lines. thirty
five new subway routes. and the ex
penditure OF $500, 900, 900. are pro
yided for in what Is declared to
be the biggest and most com2re.
hensive transit plan ever mapped
out.
Mayor Hylan. in announcing the
gigantic plan to handle New York
city's everincreasing traffic, esti-
mated that II would probably take
fifteen years to complete and that
IL assures the people Of a permanent
scent fare. Series Of motor bus
lines will act as feeders to the great
est transit system in the world.
The new transit system will be
municipality owned.
Mayor Hylan's statement. in part.
follows:
Entirely Municipal.
1T will be exclusively a city un-
dertaking. The city will become the
operator Of all these new lines. This
will be the most extensiye venture
in city operation, as well as city
ownership, Of local transportation
lines anywhere on earth.
AT present the city owns about
III miles Of rapid transit lines, in
cluding certain elevated extensions
which are operated by private com.
panies. When the new rapid transit
lines are finished and in operation
the city will have a total Of 237
route miles.
"The people are entitled to all
the security that the city operation,
as well as city ownership, can give
them. Under city operation there
will be no strikes or other labor dis
turbances. because the city will al
ways maintain an equitable wage
scale and profits will be used
for the benefit Of the people. not for
the benefit Of afSV insiders in the
operating companies.
Promise Nickel Fare.
The State commission and the
private traction interests know that
| IL the present State administration
Is defeated for reelection the plan
20 unload all the worn-out surface
and elevated lines of the city will
be dead.
Although the city has more than
$500, 900 already invested in the
rapid transit lines, the city has not
received a single dollar out Of It's
investment. except interest and
amortization on about one-fifth OF
this amount.
When the new subway lines
planned by the city are finished, q
person will be able to travel for q
single scent fare from any part OF
one borough to virtually any part
Of any other borough on a city
