France, or been permanently Grip
pied, had,it not been for the Ameri-
can soldiers now known as "diasbled
veterans. -
They stopped the enemy and his
bullets. That shortened the war,
ended it before more of the folks
back home were drawn into the cas-
ualty lists.
The lucky ones who came through
the war uninjured are enjoying peace.
But the war goes on forever for the
disabled soldier.
In most cases, his battle will last
until his death.
And it is battle that he is fight
Ing largely alone.
More than three years have passed
since the Armistice. The disabled
war veterans, far from enjoying the
comforts that are rightly theirs by all
laws of decency, again are compelled
TO fight for fair, square treatment
by the national government

LETTERS FROM

Editor Times Recorder: | noticed
in your paper some time ago an arti-
Gle written by prominent citizen
agitating reduction in rates on fire

which think was a good move and
appreciated by every man who owns
property and has insurance on same

other movement toward making liv~
ing in Americas possible.
have reference to the man who
owns property and is renting it out
to the salaried man at an exhorbitant
price of rent. In order to make
Anericus more attractive to the in
dividual there must be reduction in
rents and that at once. Nearly every
other line of the necessarits of life
have been reduced but rents-and 1T
still hangs on the same, notwith-
standing the fact that men are being
cut off without work every day
while the remainder are having their
salaries cut to such an extent that 1t
renders them unable to paw their bills
that are necessary, and meet the
price of rents that landlords are
charging.
This is the next step that should be
taken up for the welfare of Ameri-
Gus salaried men who are trying to-
rear atfamily, buy clothing, pay light
bills, coal bills, water bills, insurance
and number of other incidental err
penses and then pay their grocery
bills and pay $500 for house that
should rent for $500 and $4,000 for
one that should rent for $500.
