EDUCATIONAL BILL
Ilwaco Mai/or is Missing.
HARD TO INTERPRET.
Attorney General Asked to
Clear Up Apparant Dis
crepancies in Soldiers’
Aid Law.
Salem, Or., June 17.—In view ot the
vague and uncertain provisions of the
soldiers’ and sailors' educational bill,
passed by the people at the recent
special election, Deputy Secretary of
State Sam A. Kozer has requested an
opinion from Attorney General Brown
as to the intents and purposes of the
act. His office is now receiving many
inquires daily concerning the meas
ure.
“In view of the fact that the pro
visions of this measure are somewhat
indefinite, it is not possible to advise
inquirers just exactly what procedure
is necesiary on their part to secure
any benefits accruing under the pro
visions of this act,” said Mr Kozer.
“In the first place, an institution of
learning, public or private, as therein
mentioned is nowhere defined. Fur
ther, the act provides that al! honor
ably discharged soldiers, sailors and
marines are granted the right and
privilege of state financial aid to an
amount not exceeding $25 for any one
month and not exceeding $2(M for any
one year for a period of not more than
four years. Yet it provides further
that upon approval of the soldiers'
application by the executive head of
the institution he desires to attend,
the secretary of state shall pay over
to such institution monthly, a sum not
exceeding $25, and the insritution is
required to provide lodging, board and
other necessities required by such ap
plicant to enable him to pursue the
course or courses of study he desires.
“Many of the soldiers desiring to
avail themselves of the privileges and
benefits of this act doubtless wish to
maintain themselves, and further very
few institutions of learning in the
state are equipped to furnish board
and lodging to students. It is with
a view of reconciling the several an
parently conflicting provisions, as well
as securing a legal determination of
the intent aad purpose of the act, that
the attorney general's opinion has been
requested.
“Under the existing conditions it '
is possible only for this office to pro- |
vipe inquirers with a copy of the law
and advise them of the fact that its
provisions are more or less indefinite
and consequently referred to the at
torney general for a legal determina-

Atlantic City, N. J., June 18.—A
resolution asking President Wilson to
remove immediately Postmaster Burle
son from office was adopted unanimous
ly by the American Federation of Labor
in convention here.
The federation adopted a resolution
asking the house committee on merch
ant marine and fisheries to investigate
alleged failure by Secretary of Com
merce Redfield to enforce the seamen's
act provisions aimed against illiteracy
among crews of ocean going vessels
leaving American ports.
Another memorial denounced bills on
the calendar providing for repeal of
certain clauses in the seamen's act
relating to wages on American ves
sels. These bills were declared to be
hostile to the (development of Ameri
can sea power and serve the interests
of European and Asiatic ship owners.
