Congress took two steps in the
session just ended toward a general
overhauling of veteran relief, under
which a hundredth of the popula-
ton is collecting a quarter of the
federal governments income.
First and most radical change
was recognition of a difference (for
compensation purposes) between
both major parties, to study the en-
tire structure of veteran relief leg
islation and report to congress be-
fore next January.
Both moves were made after the
Scripps-Howard newspapers had
published a survey of the whole vet
eran problem and pointed out costly
abuses that had sprung up under
the existing system.
No Objection to Clause
Congress declared itself in favor
OF the principle of greater compen-
sation for combat injuries in an OBJ
scure portion of the economy bill.
which became law on June 80. The
veteran lobby is on record as op-
posed to any such principle, but
apparently its experts failed to
catch the significance of this par
ticular legislation since they made
no objection to it.
Under the economy bill, a former
officer, receiving retirement pay for
disability and at the same time get
ting a salary as a federal employe
may not collect a total income from
both sources of more than $4,000
year, unless his disability was in
CURED 'in combat"
A hypothetical case illustrates:
John and George were emergency
officers during the World war. John
was hit by truck in a canton
ment in America and lost his leg.
He never got overseas.
George went to France and had
his leg shot off at st. Mihiel. Both
John and George became civil serv-
ice employees after the war, each at
a salary of $4,000 year. Each also
was retired as disabled officer at
$4,000 a year. Each had a gross in
come of $4,000.

AKQK
a DAY
By BRUCE CATION :

Mr.. Glenway Wescott, talented
novelist. has been looking at the
moon and has discovered that it
has blood On it.
There are about to be fell deeds
at the crossroads. and Mr.. Westcott
sounds the siren manfully in his
newest book, Fear and Trembling"
What he fears is nothing less
than the collapse of European civil
ization. He sees the world drifting
straight toward another war, and
he is convinced that none of the
things that civilization prizes most
highly could survive such catas-
trophe.
He also believes that democratic
government has collapsed, and
that a drift has begun which is
very apt to result in Bolshevism =
which, he believes, would be a ca
lamity as great as that of new
World war.
All Of this, of course, is what a
great many very intelligent men
have been saying lately. Mr.. Yves
colt is not alone in his pessim-
ism. His manner of presenting It,
though, is unfortunate.
1t seems that he and three friends
talked all Of this over on a motor
trip across Europe; and his book,
somehow, sounds like that. 1t has
in it the odor of self conscious
high-browism, so that it is irritat-
ing rather than persuasive.
Fear and Trembling" is offered
by Harpers, and can be had for
$3.50.

LEGION'S ACTION PRAISED

CITIZENS of California first, and men,
" bers of veterans organization sec
ond, seems to be about the right slant on
the American Legion, Department of
California, if one can judge from the ac-
ton OF the departments convention TAX
en- yesterday in turning down Governor
Rolphs suggestion that the state pay the
veterans bonus and be repaid in due
time by the federal government.
The veterans deserve the thanks of
their fellow citizens for not accepting
what has all the earmarks of a political
move in which the veterans and other
taxpayers would be the goats.
Blandly, and in his usual role of "good
fellow, the governor told the veterans
that payment of the bonus by the stste
would not cost California a cent, for
whatever was advanced could later be
paid back when the federal government
settles with the former service men.
Offsetting this, the state treasurer.
whom it can be rightly assumed knows
more about state finances than the gov
ernor, declares that for every dollar the
state might advance to the veterans, it
would have to pay S1.31 in interest alone,
between now and 1915, when the govern
ment is scheduled to pay the bonus, un-
less contrary legislation is passed before
that time.
1t was such an offer as we might ex-
pect from the governor, whose record
since assuming office, shows he has been
more concerned in officiating at horned
toad races, congratulating bathing beas-
ties and officiating at parties" than in
the hard and laborious task of supervis-
ing the state government.
1t rs only few weeks since the di-
rector of finance declared California
faces the heaviest deficit in its history.
Yet the governor would saddle the state
with bond issue that would cost mil
lions of dollars. But would he? Was
the offer made in earnest, or was it just
mere political gesture, to Zine up the
veterans vote for 1884? If the former,
it proves the governor more reckless
than most of us considered him. If the
latter, it was mighty cheap gesture.
Whatever the motive, it is something
to be thankful for that the veterans kept
their feet on the ground and used their
heads. The bonus matter is federal
matter purely and simply. 1t has GER
tainly caused enough trouble to the fed
eral government and the. governor of the
state should be just about the last per-
son to invite any of that trouble with
in our borders.

Uncle Wi88iEy ~as asleep

Pardon me, lady" spoke Uncle
Wiggily, his pink nose twinkling,
but this to to be your hammock,
not mine.'
Have it your own wayl laughed
the muskrat lady. She was going
to say that Uncle Wiggily had put
up a swing for the children, but he
had used it nearly all the while
himself until Nurse Jane played the
little trick on him as told you
in the story last night.
When Baby Bunty told Nurse
Jane that the old rabbit gentleman,
though pretending to have made
the swing for his bunny boys and
girls, was in it nearly all the while,
Nurse Jane got Uncle Wiggily out
of the grapevine swayer by calling
for help to make her a hammock.
Uncle Wiggily, not knowing it
was a trick, hoped on after his
housekeeper until they reached a
dinghy dell not far from the bunga-
low. This dtngly dell was a little
clearing in the woods where many
ferns grew on the bank of a bub-
bling brook.
This will be a good place for
your hammock, JAMIE" said the
rabbit.
Pardon me-YOUR hammock, -
spoke Nurse Jane, tickling a little
red ant lady with the end of her
tail.
I'll put the hammock up, but it
shall be yours,v insisted Mr.. Long
ears. Nurse Jane said nothing else

just then, but she could guess how
it would be, the same as with the
swing.
Help me gather some strands of
grapevine and honeysuckle, Nurse
Jane" suggested Uncle Wiggily.
shall make your hammock out of
them as I made the swing, though,
of course, a hammock is different
from swing"
"It is much more comfortable,
spoke Nurse Jane.
It did not take them long to
gather enough of the vines to make
the hammock. The vines were
twisted and woven into the right
shape and then on each end of the
bed of the hammock Uncle Wiggily
fastened a long strand of strong
grapevine, which would be tied be-
tween two trees.
~ shall not need Jacko Kinkytail,
the monkey boy, to climb trees to
fasten the hammock ropes as he
fastened the swing ropes" said
Uncle Wiggily. Hammock ropes
do not need to be fastened so high
up as do swing ropes"
II suppose not" agreed NURSE
Jane.
Soon the hammock was finished
and swayed most enticingly be-
tween two trees in the shady,
dinghy dell.
There you are, Nurse janet"
called Uncle Wiggily. There's your
hammock all ready for you"
do you think it i S strong
enough to hold me?' she asked
"Well, perhaps I had better try
it as I did the swing" said Uncle
Wiggily. "Shall I test it for you?"
"If you please" begged Nurse
Jane. "And while you are testing
it will hop back to the bungalow
and see if everything is all right"
. Uncle Wiggily stretched out in
the hammock. 1t was strong and
SO soft and comfortable that, once
he was in it, he. didn't want to get
out. There he lay, swinging to
and fro, and before he knew it he
had fallen asleep. The hammock
was very restful.
Nurse Jane went to the bunga-
low and came back. She saw the
rabbit gentleman asleep in his
hammock, his pink nose twinkling
"Hal Hal" softly laughed the
muskrat lady. II guessed it would
be this way. Well, let him sleep
in his hammock. 1 really didn
want it for myself. I asked him
to make one to get him out of the
ehildrens swing. Let it be his
hammock"
Then, all of sudden, Nurse Jane
looked and saw the Fox sneaking
toward Uncle Wiggily in the ham
mock. The Bad Chap had his
mouth open, and was just going to
bite the ropes so the hammock
would fall down with Uncle Wig
gily when the muskrat lady picked
up a stone and threw it at the Fox,
hitting him on the nose.
"Ch. wowl" he howled and that
awakened TIE rabbit. He jumped
out of his lfhmmock and when he
knew what Nurse Jane had done he
said she was very brave. Then Mr..
Longears gave Nurse Jane swing
in the hammock and everybody was

Asks Al Clubs
To Start Work

Members of the All clubs are
asked to begin work on their live
stock projects with special refer
ence to raising calves for baby beef.
Work on the projects should be be-
gun in September or October if the
stock is ready to show at the county
fair in February, according to H.
Lee Landerman, assistant farm ad-
visor.
Calves. pigs and poultry will have
to be placed in readiness for the
fair and later for the field day in
April when they will be auctioned
off.
No baby beef was shown at the
fair last year, said Larderman, and
packers are anxious for the All
club members to become interested
in the raising Of calves for that
purpose.
A tour day for all members of
the clubs will be arranged for early
September. Members will be taken
to poultry, dairy, beef and hog
ranches and shown growing crops.
This will permit them to decide
which projects to begin and what
is needed, Landerman concluded.
