VETERANS COMPENSATION

A ANNOUNCEMENT from the White
n House this week, that the reduction
of payments to veterans for service-con-
nected disabilities will be reviewed, IS
something for which every friend of the
administration and of the ex-servicemen,
has been hoping.
The general public does not believe it
was the intention of the administration
IN framing the economy bill passed re-
Gently by congress, to work a hardship
on any single deserving veteran. In
stead it was designed to weed out those
who have been getting compensation and
who were not justly entitled to 1t.
However in attempting to do this,
many deserving veterans, whose dlsabll-
tiles are directly traceable to their war
service, are going to be hurt immeasur-
ably, unless a readjustment is made.
The statement given from the White
House says: "As a result of the applica-
ton of the veterans regulations, it now
seems that the cut in compensation OF
service-connected World war veterans
with specific injuries has been deeper
than was originally intended. The reg
ulations and schedules in this respect
will, therefor, be reviewed SO as to effect
more equitable levels of payment.
These conclusions are in line with the
Presidents original statement that the
regulations and schedules would be
drafted so as to effect the most humane
treatment possible of veterans disabled
in war service.
1t is to be hoped the review will be
thorough and made promptly, so that
no deserving veteran shall be denied the
adequate compensation due him for even
short period.
The nation-including the big majori-
ty of ex-servicemen-is indignant at the
veteran who has made
claim on the government for compensa-
ton to which he is not entitled. Even
greater will be the Indignation if sim
gle deserving veteran is denied that to
which he is justly entitled.
Care of the deserving veteran is sac
red duty which the nation may not side
step.

Mothers and Babies First
Slogan for 1888 May DAY.

Mothers and Babies First" is the
slogan adopted for May Day or Child
Health Day as proclaimed by Governor
Olson in the proclamation in another
column. From the Department OF
Health, we learn several things of the
Importance Of such a day and their
report shows that the day is an i'm
portant one and lessons taught by the
appended figures should sink deep.
Our birthrate in Minnesota has de-
clined from A.7 per 1000 population in
1915 to 1872 in 1881. Our total births
in Minnesota reached their peak il
1921, with 5000 live births. BY 1881
this had fallen to 48,870, or practically
$4,000 fewer births occurred in 1881 thar
in 1921.
Our state and national populations
have practically reached a stationary
level. Our rural population in Mime
sofa has actually done so. 1t is eStim-
ated that a birthrate of Is is barely
adequate to maintain a stationary
population. We are apparently ap-
preaching this point rapidly. It is OBJ
vious, therefore, that more than ever
we should pay particular attention to
the health of those children that are
born.
Our infant mortality rate in Mime
sofa has been steadily declining for
many years. In 1915 there were 1871
deaths of infants under one year of age
giving an infant mortality rate of 701
per 1000 living births. In 1891 there
were 1858 infant deaths with a rate
of 50.4. Our maternal death rate has
varied scarcely any in this period of
time. This may be explained in part
by the fact thet greater and greater
proportion Of the total births are, with
the declining birthrate, first-born
children. And 1t is well-established
fact that there is a greater hazard in
frst-born children than in subsequent
ones.

Beer Fees Too Large.

Summer resort owners have protested
to st. Louis county commissioners
against the $50 license fee for selling
beer.
A delegation of resort owners will
attend meeting of the county board
to present a formal protest and request
that the fee be reduced at least so per
cent.
Resort proprietors have complained
to individual members of the BOARD
that in view of the fact that resorts are
only open about three months each
year, the $50 fee makes it impossible
to handle the beverage at a profit
They also point to the concession
granted to clubs and fraternal organi-
cations. The fee for such licenses is
SIS.
Several commissioners in open meet
ing expressed opinions that all persons
desiring to sell beer should be treated
alike. No official action was taken.

Made This Week.

This week, Mike Holm, secretary OF

legislature. Over $4,000 automobile
owners will participate.
Instead of going through the usual
routine which will include a state

state treasurer as payee, Mr.. Holm will
pay the amounts direct through the
medium of specially printed check
carrying his own signature.

SIDELINE COMMENT
By "Sham"

Several local golf enthusiasts have
been trying their game over the Shay
ava Country Club course during the
past week and report the grounds in
fair condition for so early in the
season. With the weather as it has
been most of the past week. it is ex-
pected that large number of golfers
will play the course over the weekend.
The regular green's are being used
at the local golf course with the ex-
ception of number three.
No news yet as to whether or not Ely
will be represented by baseball team
this year. The sport has died down in
the last few years because of the lack
of paying spectators, and it costs money
to run ball club. The number of
spectators at the games last year was
as great and perhaps greater than in
other years, but the majority availed
themselves of the opportunity to sneak
