One of the burning questions
to come before Congress at an
early day is the soldier bonus.
President Roosevelt is not in
favor of the payment at this
time and his reason for OPP
posing the issue has been set
forth very clearly. The opinion
of the majority, however, is
that the payment would go a
long way to hasten recovery,
The American Legion and
Auxiliary in drastic resolutions
adopted at their National con-
vention in Miami in October
demanded immediate adjust
ment of the matter and their
: demand seems to have met with
popular favor on the part of
Congressman from all parts OF
the country. Indications are
that the measure will be
passed.

AUXILIARY TO
HELP LEGION
Will Stand Solidly Behind the
Bonus and Other Measures
Proposed by Legion.

Full support or the American Legion
Auxiliary's 100000 members will be
given the legislative recommendations
of the American Legion when these are
placed before the coming session of
Congress, according to Mrs. John
Schaefer, chairman of the legislative
committee of Frank Lozar Unit of the
Auxiliary. The legislation recon-
mended by the Legion will be studied
by Auxiliary Units throughout the
country during January and activities
undertaken to increase public under
standing of the measures.
1.-THE Auxiliary will devote its first
efforts to the four major legislative
requests of the Legion, full payment of
the adjusted compensation certificates,
protection for widows and orphans of
World War veterans, passage of uni
versal draft law, and strengthening the
national defenses," Mrs. Schaefer said.
1--WE will urge the immediate payment
of the adjusted compensation both as
a measure to aid veterans in need and
to speed the country's economic re-
covery. We of the Auxiliary, from our
constant contact with the families of
veterans, know how greatly the So
called bonus money is needed and how
effectively it would be poured into the
channels of trade in every part o. the
country. The adjusted compensation,
being already government obligation,
could be paid without increasing the
federal debt.
Unlike the widows and orphans of
veterans of other wars, widows and
orphans of World War veterans do not
have protection of the government.
The Auxiliary will join the Legion in
urging that such protection be extended
to mothers and children left in need by
the death of World War veteran.
Ever since the war the Legion and
Auxiliary have been urging the enact
ment of a universal draft law to place
capital, industry and man power at
the service Of the government on an
equal basis i'm event of another war.
Such a measure would make the huge
war profits of the past impossible,
would remove any chance of the United
States being urged into war by selfish
interests, and would greatly strengthen
the country's defensive power. We will
advocate this measure determinedly
this year.
I'm the present condition of the
world the need for more adequate ma
tional defense is very apparent and the
Auxiliary will raise it's voice with that
of the Legion to demand immediate
strengthening OF land and sea forces as
the surest safeguard for Americas
peace"

Local Pucksters Score I to o
Win From Soudan in Fast
Contest Sunday.

In game marked by several spills
and penalties, the North Star hockey
team, last years vermilion range
champions, scored to 0 victory over
the smooth-passing Soudan pucksters
Sunday at Soudan. The contest was
not far on its way when Fred Saari
flashed down between the two Soudan
defense men and Tipped the puck past
the menacing stick Of Holms, Soudan
goalie. From then on the locals played
clever defensive hockey and were NOT
headed through the remainder of the
game.
Paul Kirk" Lekatz, flashy North Star
goalie, did stellar work in the nets when
he cut short many dangerous scoring
threats and handled the puck cleverly
when it hit the ice. AT one time, D
hampton, Soudan center, skated clear
of the defense and was about to shoot
the rubber disk into the net when
Lekatz charged him, thus keeping the
game from being a tie.
Salmi and hampton starred for the
losers and Saari, Constantine and
F. Kosir starred for the victors. The
two Ely defense men frustrated the
many offensive plays of the opposing
team and maintained stone-wall de-
Tense against their many attacks.
Tomorrow night, Jan. S.. the local
boys will engage Genoa, Minrlescta
amateur hockey champions of 1884
at the local arena. This promises to
be a spectacular contest as Genoa will
exhibit some of the most clever stick
handling ever shown here. Peter
Moscatelh, local attorney and official
of many Big Ten hockey games, will
handle the whistle.
The Saturday following, the Eveleth
Junior College, claimants of the Ma
tional Amateur hockey championship ot
1884, which was competed for at Chi
cago. will fight it out with the North
Stars. On Sunday, Jan. Is, the North
Stars will play the Eveleth Americans

A Few Observations ON Matters

The new year opens up with
the outlook for improvement in
the economic situation of the
country. Steel business which
has an important bearing on
the destinies of this iron ore
section, seems to be gaining in
volume although the winter

seasonable for this commodity.
Magazine Steel and the Iron
Age are sanguine of vast inn
provement and predict heavy
production during the winter

be kept or stepped up.

COURSE DEBATED
FOR COTTON BELT
st. Louis-SouthWestern
Board Weighs Finance
Plans at New York.
BY the Associated Press.

6y INC AbbUClhtCu EIGoos
NEW YORK, December 3.-Finan-
cial difficulties Of the st. Louis South
western Railway, heightened by the
necessity of meeting $490,000 In in
terest obligations due January l, were
faced today at directors meeting in
New York.
A decision by officials on the course
TO pursue was expected in some quar-
tiers to be announced after the ses-
sion.
Reports current yesterday in Wall
Street that funds for the payment
were not in sight at the moment were
followed by an informal session of the
Cotton Belt directors in the New York
Office adjoining the Office of Southern
Pacific, which owns more than 81 per
cent Of the outstanding common and
preferred stock of the cotton belt.
Issues Are Listed.
The issues upon which interest is
due January / are first terminal and
unifying mortgage per cent bonds,
due January /, 1852, of which $8,o63,-
900 are outstanding in the hands Of
the public; General and Refunding
mortgage gold per cent bonds, series
"a" due July !, 1890, outstanding in
hands of public $9,327, 500 and second
mortgage income per cent bond cer-
tificates due November /, 1889, out
standing in hands of public, $3,042,-
500.
In addition, the carrier owes the Re-
construction Finance Corp. total OF
SIT, 7,882 $50, which was due December
l. but it Is believed the obligation was
extended by the r. F. G. to March /.
The amount is guaranteed by the
Southern Pacific.
Two Courses Considered.
Observers reported there were two
courses open to the Cotton Belt. The
r. F. C. could make further extensions
to meet the interest payments, If
guaranteed by the Southern Pacific, or
it might receive funds directly from
the Southern Pacific.
Without financial aid from outside
sources, the road could invoke an in
denture in its refunding mortgage IS
providing for a 60-day period of grace
after default Of interest during which
it could devise plans for making good
the default. In the other two issues,
the period of grace is 30 days.
Daniel Upthegrove, president of the
Cotton Belt, declined to comment on
the situation pending the meeting of
| directors.
