Litchfield Voted War Bonus In "
fspeclal to The Democratl

N0PeChhA " AnO OCLAVCESI TOrringtOn, March 1S.-Opp0- nents of the recently-ena soldiers bonus legislation, who raucously cried patriotism at . price" during their campaign to prevent immediate payment of the adjusted service certificates, may be interested to learn that the nations Revolutionary War heroes were not averse to ac- cepting additional remuneration for their military services nor were they forced to the ignO- minious procedure of petition ing congress for what a grateful citizenry believed to be due them.
 This was revealed here today when WPA research workers engaged in compiling historical data for the Connecticut section of the American Guide uncOv- cred the fact that a Litchfield town meeting, held in April, 1777, voted to pay out of the town treasury "tO each soldier that should enlist for the term specified, the sum of 12 pounds per annum in addition to their pay from the state or federal government" A previous town meeting made adequate pros vision to care for the families of all enlisted men.
 At the conclusion of the war in October, 17S3, the town voted to adjust the claims of the non- commissioned officers and sol" diers who served in the eight battalions of Connecticut and to whom Q bonus had been pre- viously granted by vote.
 As far as can be learned from available historical references, not 8 dissenting voice was raised at the town meetings at which these acts were approved.

vising and keeping unity to the
program. Finally, in August 1885,
the movement was deprived of its
financial support and was kept
alive only through the generosity
and interest of the committeeman.
The work has Jagged considerably
but since the Resttlement Admin
istration is now willing to lend its
assistance | believe that we can
carry the program forward with
out further difficulty.
Even when we look at this pro-.
gram in the most selfish light pos
sibIe, we cannot help but realize
that friendly Cancellation OF debts
through voluntary committees is
the most beneficial and efficient
manner of meeting the situation.
Court liquidation is costly and slow
and the creditor who comes out
with the property has the problem
of finding a tenant who can return
as much as the original debtor
who has been displaced. Tho com.
munity is benefited through friend.
ly adjustment since the farmer
can become a normal purchaser
with good credit and excellent NOR
ale. The farmer is certainly bens
Gifted since he retains his home
and is no longer faced with fore:
closures and failure due to condi,
tons which he was unable TO con;
troll.
Our problem. briefly stated, is
this: Let US appraise the farm
debt situation in Montana, keep
ing in mind the benefits brought
about by the old committees, with
a view to bringing about a strong
er farm credit program in our state.
Through local committees the pro-
gram can be carried forward in a
friendly, sensible. informal manner
with the recommendations based
upon the merits of each individual
case. The influence of these COM
mittees can gradually bring about
the development of the proper
attitude of borrowers toward their
financial obligations and among
creditors toward their responsibilities
to the land and to the people in
whom they have invested their
money, with the eventual result
that both interests will realize
that the productivity of farm land,
over a period of years, is the only
sound basis for capitalizing aerl.
cultural enterprise. These com
mittees can, iii the future, exert a
tremendous force over lending and
borrowing interests in keeping their
financial dealings on a sound and
sensible basis and in developing for
the agricultural industry of Mont
ana the firm financial foundation
necessary for Successful operation.
