man in every way, and even better
looking. Mr.. Hart has been resi-
dent of Decorah for about five years
and resides in the first ward. He
came here from Mabel, Mimi, where
he was a stock buyer. He was form
erly on the school board in Mabel.
Mr.. Hart is an aggressive citizen
and we believe will make a good
member Of the board. Everybody
knows Mr.. Lennon, as he is one of
the progressive young business men
of the city, a member of the imple-
ment firm of Reed and Lennon, and
will make a fine addition to the
school board.

Mrs. f. w. Cutting, H. NJ. Cum

CONGRESS TO START
WORK ON VETS
RELIEF BILL
Statesmen and Washington Officials
Trying to Devise Plans to Secure
Money for Adjusted Compensation

WASHINGTON, Jan. Back from
the Christmas holidays, Congress is
expected to enact with little delay
bill for adjusted compensation to vet
erans of the world war.
AS matters now stand, the Fordney
and McCumber compensation meas
ures both of which have the support
of the American Legion, are before
House and Senate committees. No
date has been fixed for a vote in eth
er branch of the congress.
Payment Of compensation will, how
ever, officials here declare, be one of
the first issues taken up by the lower
house upon resuming its session. The
Senate is expected to begin considera-
tion of the bill after disposing of legis-
lation dealing with refunding of for
eign loans.
Several plans suggested for raising
money to pay compensation are pro-
voking the most discussion ncongres-
sional circles at present. The Legion
has made it plain that it would not en-
ter into the discussion of methods of
meeting the payments.
A recent "bonus" bill introduced in
to the House by Rep. Volk would pro-
vide payments for adjusted compensa-
ton by means of sales tax estimated
to yield S1,500,o00 annually. The
measure is patterned after the Cam
adian bonus law.
Another suggestion for raising the
money has come from Secretary Mel
Ion of the treasury department who
proposes the sael of light wines and
beer with a tax on the sale of bever-
ages. President Harding is understood
to disapprove Of such scheme, but
the House ways and means committee
has given notice that it will consider
the plan.
