Points to Federal Aid.

tndt Ine UnlLeQ states, IN terms OF
compensation and in terms of hospi-
taliZation, has done and is doing def
nitely more for our veterans and their
dependents than any other govern
ment.
come now to the provisions of the
bill relating to Spanish American War
veterans. To this group Of ex-service
men I have devoted much thought.
Because of their age. they command
sympathy. Nevertheless, we must
recognize also that many abuses have
crept into the laws granting them
benefits
The Spanish American War Vet
erans' amendment to this act pro-
vides for service pensions. This vio-
lates the principles upon which bene-
fits to veterans should be paid and
the principles to which / have re-
ferred in this message, Moreover, If
that principle should in the future
be applied to the World War Veterans
at the same rate as contemplated for
Spanish War veterans by
this bill, the annual and continuing
charge upon the people Of this coun-
try by l949 will amount to more than
$3.50 900 900 for that item alone. This
would be in addition to the large cost
of all existing veterans benefits and
future disqualification. This cannot
approve.
1898 Veterans Restored.
However, I am today directing the
restoration to the rolls of those Span
American War veterans who in
1920 were receiving pensions as re-
suit Of having sustained an injury
or incurred a disease arising out OF
their war service.
BY Regulation ~. presumption OF
service origin was extended to Span
h-American War veterans on the
rolls on March l9, 1888. In order
to take the same action which I am
taking in regard to World War vet
Grams, I am directing the restoration
to the rolls, as of this date. at rs
per cent of the amount they were
receiving on March l9, 1888, all
Spanish American War veterans
pending final determination of their
cases before the Board of Appeals.
Without going further into all OF
the details relating to the treatment
past, present and future-of Spanish
American War veterans, it seems suf1-
cient to repeat that I am wholly and
irrevocably opposed to the principle
of the general service pension, but !
do seek to provide with liberality for
all those who suffered because OF their
service in that war. AS In the case
of World War veterans. I shall not
hesitate to further alter or modify the
regulations in order that substantial
justice may be done in every indi-
vidual case.
Seeks Individual Justice.
What you and I are seeking Is
justice and fairness in the individual
case. I call your specific attention
to the fact that since the original
regulations we're established year
ago actual experience has shown many
cases where these regulations required
modification. I have not hesitated
to take the necessary action and have
issued regulations which have made
many changes. These changes, based
on principles Of justice to the indi-
vidual veteran, involve additional ex-
penditures of approximately ll7,000.-
600. 1t goes without saying that ]
Evening star., 1934-03-28

shall not hesitate to make further
changes If the principles of Justice
demand them.
On the basis of the original regu-
lations following the economy act,
the annual cost to the United States
OF veterans relief was S486, 600. 900.
Since that time by executive order
the addition of s117,000 900 increases
to s603 100000 the total cost for vet
erans' relief for the fiscal year 1885.
My disapproval of this bill is not
based solely on the consideration of
dollars and cents. There is a deeper
consideration. You and I are con-
cerned with the principles herein
enunciated. trust that the Congress
will continue to cooperate with me
in our common effort to restore gen.
eral prosperity and relieve distress.

Confident of Support.

I am very confident that the
American people. including the over
whelming majority of veterans them
selves. approve these principles and
in the last analysis will support
them.
Applying them to the provisions Of
this bill I cannot give it my approval
Last year it was determined-and
had hoped permanently-that a serv-
ice-connected disability is a question
of fact rather than a question of law.
In other words. each individual case
should and must be considered on its
merits and there is no justification

.BEARCREEK STORE
LOOTED OF STOCK
Merchandise, Dry Goods
Found Missing on
Saturday

Theft Of some $500 worth of dry
goods and merchandise occurred
either late Friday night or early
Saturday morning at the Bear
creek store of the Imperial Mer-
camille company, it was reported
to Sheriff j. r. McFate by c. Ma
tall, proprietor of the store, this
week.
Although the front door to the
establishment was found unlocked
Friday morning, officers believe
that entry was gained at the rear
of the place, where a screen from
a window was discovered removed.
The theory of authorities is that
the thieves unlocked the window
sometime during store hours Fri
day, returning that night to enter
by the window, gather their loot
and cart it off by way of the front
door.
A considerable quantity of the
stores dry goods and merchandise
was included in the loot, a check

sisted mainly of mems shoes, pa
jamas, shirts, work socks and I'M

baby caps, dresses and sweaters.
Included in the merchandise loot
was vanilla extract, cheese, cake,
rolls, marshmallows candy, gum,
salami, coffee, matches, cigarettes,
butter, bacon, bread, flour, fruit
and motor oil.
Practically all of the foregoing
articles were missing in large
quantities, it was revealed. Of

EXPECT CARBON TO
POLL RECORD VOTE
ON NEXT TUESDAY
County Registration Is
One of Largest in
History

With one of the largest eligible
voters list in the history of the
county, preparations were being
completed at the office of Clerk
and Recorder C. E. Thompson this
week to record and tabulate a rec
ord general election vote indicated
for November 6.
County ballots, which came off
the presses last week, are being
apportioned to the 20 voting pre-
cincts of the county, as well as
ballot boxes and other election
day supplies. With 6,223 voters
registered on the county lists and
with party interests running high
err than ever before, it is expected
that a larger majority of the bal
lots will be cast this year than at
any time in the history of the
county.
Polls will open at 8 o'clock
Tuesday morning and will close at
6 o'clock that evening. Polling
places will be the same as for the
primary election of July II last,
with district school houses being
used in the majority for vote-cast-
ing purposes.
Five party columns appear on
the 1884 general election ballots
for this county. Reading from left
to right, the Republican party is
first in position with a full slate.
Next comes the Democratic party
with all but the county clerk and
recorder spaces filled. There fol-
lows in order the Independent
party with candidates listed for
county clerk and recorder, county
attorney and county school super
intendent; the Socialist party with
candidates for both U. S. senate
terms, congressional representa-
ton in the second state district
and state railroad and public SER
vice commissioner; the Commu-
mist party U. S. A., which occupies
the last column on the ballot, lists
candidates for the six-year senate
term, state railroad and public SER
vice commissioner and state clerk
of the supreme court.
Besides the poll for party can
didates, electors are also to vote
on two constitutional amendments.
The first, an amendment granting
county commissioners power to
consolidate county offices and pro-
viding the procedure for such con-
solidation, is printed at the bottom
lof the party ballot. The second is
a separate ballot and deals with a
property relief amendment, Civ
ing the legislative assembly power
to levy and collect taxes upon in
comes of persons, firms and cor
operations for the purpose of re-
placing property taxes.

K SHIPMENT IN
GOVERNMENT BUYING
PLAN X PLACE

Two car loads of sheep, pur-
chased through the governments
emergency sheep-buying program
in the county, were shipped from
the stockyards at Selmes Thurs
day to st. Paul, Mimi, o. P. Rob
erts, Carbon emergency county
agent, announces.
The shipment consisted of 444
ewes, representing the total saving
of sheep suitable for mutton from
throughout the county and from
the total purchase made in this
county. Ninety-three per cent of
the total were condemned.
Twelve thousand six hundred
and thirty-three sheep were previ-
ously listed at the county agents
office in Red Lodge, it was stated,
About 1000 of this number were
listed in adjoining counties, both
in Montana and Wyoming, and
were sold from without this coun-
ty, before sorting could be done by
Carbon county.
Sheep buyers purchased many
ewes previously listed, it is said
thus lowering the number for gov.
eminent purchase and making thu
high percentage of condemned an
imals. Carbon county did not fill
its quota of sheep allowed for gov
eminent purchase.

ALICE
WILL NOT DEFEND
T AT BOSTON

Despite the fact that ii is being
publicized throughout the east that
Miss Alice Greenough, Red Lodges
world champion woman bronze
rider, will defend her title at Col.
w. T. Johnson's rodeo which opens
in the Boston Gardens November
/, Miss Greenough will not be on
hand for the Boston exposition.
This was brought to the atten-
ton of the public here this week
by Miss Greenough's father, the
well-known Beartooth mountain
guide, Ben "Pack Saddle" Green
ough. Like Mark Twain's famous
remark concerning his reported
death, news to the effect that Miss
Greenough will perform in Boston
this year is grossly exaggerated"
Mr.. Greenough said.
Miss Greenough, who captured
the world laurels for woman riders
at the Boston show last year, is
now in Melbourne, Australia, per-
forming in the first of a series of
rodeo exhibitions to be given in
that country and in cities of the
Far East and the Hawaiian is
lands. She is the only woman per-
former in the troupe of Americas
foremost rodeo hands making this
tour.
Completion of the Far East tour
will give Miss Greenough the dis
tinction of being the only woman
to gain worldwide recognition in
the rodeo arena, and a record
equalled by few men performers.
Earlier in the summer she appear
ed in exhibitions at London, Eng
land, and in previous years in
Mexico, Spain, France and Ger
many as we'll as in every import
ant arena in the United States.

ally heavy drinking bouts in the

the radiator cap or the quart of
liquor got there, officers said.

this vicinity and included the

formation by no means meant APP
proval of the project"
Gov. Cooney's work in Washing
ton, however, was met with re-
markable success in connection
with furthering the start of actual
construction on the dam cites. The
chief executive managed to gain
the approval of the United States
engineering department and a
boost in the original appropriation
of PWA funds asked for from
approximately S630,000 to $780,
900. On his return from the
Washington trip, Gov. Cooney
stated that only a few minor de-
tails remained to be worked out
before final approval of the pro-
ject was granted.
The information asked for by
the government and which will be
secured by Mr.. McKinnon and 9TH
er federal men is believed to deal
mainly with minor details in con-
nection with the legal and finan-
cial status of the project. The pro-
ject is the largest of its kind pro-
posed in this state, and Admins
traitor McKinnon stated that owing
to this fact and also to the type of
information requested, his survey
may require a considerable length
of time to complete.
Following the completion of the
survey and the submission of the
desired information to the govern
ment, early approval of the pro-
iect is looked for. Approval will
mean employment for many idle
workers in this vicinity over a per-
iod of several months, and com
pletion will mean assurance a
gainst drouth for approximately
$4,000 acres in the county as wei
as rehabilitation of more than 4O'
farmers along Rock creek valley.
