pensation to a man simply because
he was unable to avail himself of
one of the four more productive
options.
Insurance Feature.
The insurance feature OF the bill
originated in the senate and is con-
sidered by many to be the most
valuable and most likely to appeal
to the average veteran. Any man
who is not actually in want will
make every effort to avail himself
of this offer. If he served Ice days
in this country and 200 days in
France, his cash compensation
would be $3.50. But he could waive
cash and get an endowment policy
OF value of 81, 1SS.
More than a hundred thousand
disabled men have awaited them
selves of the vocational training
offered by the government, seeing
in it chance to better their con-
dition of life. The educational fea-
ture of the compensation bill is ex-
pected to appeal to thousands of vet
Grams who are not physically dis
abled. They will be given tuition
at accredited schools and will be
paid SIPS day while studying,
until they have received 40 per
cent of the amount due them in
cash. The man who had $3.50 COM
ing to him in cash could go to
school for 1872 days, being paid SLIPS
a day during that period.
The same man could apply the
$500 due him, which is lao per cent
of the cash $3.50, toward purchase
of an approved farm or city or su-
burban home. The money also
could be applied toward payments
on a farm or home already pur-
chased, or to pay for Improvements
Chance to Homestead.
If the veteran desires to aid in
settling undeveloped lands, the
fifth option of the bill will enable
him to do so. Provision is made for
the establishment of reclamation
projects, for the development and
Improvement of vacant land. This
may be government land or land
purchased by the government. So
far as possible, these projects will
be located in every state, the state
paying part of the purchase price
of private lands bought for this pur-
pose. E4A-S0f VICE ul0u are " DC 0lI-
ployed on the projects as far as
possible. The bill also provides for
the sale of farm units on these pro-
jects when they are ready for settle
ment, the sale price to include the
purchase price of the land, plus the
cost of improvements. The terms to
be part down and the balance in 40
years at per cent interest
The veteran can apply his ad-
justed service pay as first payment
on farm in such project
The value Of this option alone to
veteran, state and nation, is suff-
cient to win approval for the entire
bill. In the first place, it goss about
retaining hitherto unproductive
farm lands, benefting individual
states and the nation: Then it pro-
yides work in the reclamation for
jobless men. Again, it attracts to
the farm young men who have the
pioneer instinct and enables them to
become productive citizens, on easy
terms. 1t is the most comprehen-
sive reclamation project yet ad

projects. The reclamation would
De under strict supervision and In
no sense real estate speculation
This is the bill the American
Legion has been backing, but the
i1ea OF compensating veterans of the
late war did not originate with the
legion The legion was not incor-
porated until Sept. 16, 1919. and its
nrst national convention held Nov.
10, IL and II of that year. and by
that time 55 bills already were pend
ing IN the house, designed 10 COM
pensate ex-service men for the eco
nomic handicap they had suffered as
result of the service they had rem
dered their country.
Before the Minneapolis conven-
ton a legion committee called upon
Mr.. Fordney, the chairman of the
house ways and means committee,
and discussed adjusted compensa-
ton 1t was the unanimous opin-
ion of legion officers at that time
that action should be deferred upon
any OF the pending SIS measure until
the ex-service men had had a chance
to express themselves on the mat
ter.
The subject was taken up at the
first legion convention and the fol-
lowing resolution adopted:
Whereas, the question of adjust
ment of compensation, or extra pay
for service men and women, is now
pending before congress, and before
acting thereon congress has shown
the disposition to await the view of
this convention upon the subject;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That while the Amer
lean Legion was not founded for
the purpose of promoting legisla-
ton in its selfish interest, yet it
recognizes that our government has
an obligation to all service men and
women to relieve the financial dis
advantages incident to their mill
tary service-an obligation second
only to that of caring for the dis
abled and for the widows and or
phans of those who sacrificed their
lives, and one already acknowledged
by our allies-but the American
Legion feels that it cannot ask for
legislation in it's selfish interests
and leaves with confidence to con-
gress the discharge of this obliga-
ton"
No further action was taken on
the measure until February, 1920,
when the national executive COM
mittee of the legion demanded of
congress the passage of a bill pay
