Imperial Valley press., 1922-09-08

In November. -, people elect
session Of this newly elected Eepub-
iican Congress began May 10. 1919.
With 1t began practically all Federal
aid for relief and assistance of those
who served in the World War An
elaborate program was formulated
providing for hospital and medical aid
for all disabled and diseased ex.service
men. The program included those
suffering from mental diseases as a
result of their war experience; also
vocational training and rehabilitation:
also financial allotments for those en-
gagged in such training; also compensa-
ton ior men totally or partially dis
abled, and for their dependents; and
for the dependents of those who died
as a result Of injury or disease con
tracted while in the service of their
country.
There was expended to July 1,
1922, for the purposes of carrying out
this program.the sum of 1435, 1854 1856.
In addition an appropriation of S423,-
03S,S42. has just been made by the
Congress for the Veterans Bureau for
the coming fiscal year This is great
er appropriation than made for any
other purpose except in payment of
the public debt.
Following the war the administra-
tion of relief for eX-service men was
IiuiInl N,,r nj I fIies
necessitated tremendous overhead eX-
Dcnse, eating up a disproportisnate
amount of money appropriated for aid
of World War veterans, and it
occasioned endless delay in hand
ling ex-service mems cases and
put them to unfair expense. To
remedy these evils the Republican
Congress passed a measure, combin-
ing all agencies dealing with eX-serv.
ice smen under the Veterans Bureau.
Following the war hundreds of thou
sands of veterans permitted their in
surance to lapse, largely because OF
the slipshod manner in which their
claims were handled under the Dem
ocratic administration. At the re-
quest of representatives. of the ex.serv-
ice men the Republican Congress made
IT possible for all ex-service men
whose policies had lapsed to be rein
stated at any time prior. to March 4,
1925.
The disqualification and medical
treatment of eXservice men was found

which it raises with automobile tires,
is extremely prevalent'on country roads
throughout the county. The vine bears
Il small bean-likc growth, covered with
sharp spikes, which spread out in all
directions from the vine and are a
source of continual trouble to autoists
and pedestrians.
According to Mr.. Waite, the weed
was first noticed along the railroad
tracks, and he believes it was iirst
brought into the valley in hay and food
for stock shipped in from the outside.
In time it spread throughout the coun-
ty and there is scarcely a road now
that does not have the vine growing
along its course.
Mr.. Waite proposes to set the county
chain gang at work clearing the vine
from the roads, or if this is impractic-
able, to hire men to do the work. The
supervisors have the matter under con
sideration and will take steps to CO.
operate with the horticultural commits
sioner S office. The technical name of
the vine, Mr.. Waite says, is. the "tribu-
lus terrestris.'
