Soldiers have the call with the Legislature and already nine times jhave they received legislative atten tion, ranginp from immediate employ ment to settlement on land. The soldier Question is linked closely with the reconstruction problem and be fore the session ends something worth while for the soldiers may be done. But if not done, it will not be through Sack of desire. une of the main suggestions ad vanced is the soldier settlement bill, but it will be merely an experiment and will not be of general value to returned soldiers. The two measures for immediate action and direct results am the creation of the soldiers' .and sailors' commission, with an appropria tion of $100,000 for relief, and the reso lution, requesting the State Highway Commission to immediately start force account work to give employment to 3000 men, preferably soldiers and Bailors. Preference Given Soldiers. Mr. Graham of Lane has House joint memorial No. 3, memorializing Con gress as to discharging and mustering out of soldiers, sailors and marines; and House joint resolution No. 5, by Mr. Bean, urging Congress to take immediate action for the relief of dis tress among discharged soldiers, sailors and marines, both in committee. Then there is Senate bill No. 3, Iy Mr. Huston, giving preference to soldiers on public work, and House bill No. 52, by Mr. Westerlund, provid ing exemption for soldiers, sailors and marines and their widows. Finally, there is Senate bill No. 27. by Mr. Eddy, the settlement soldier bill. Senator Flddy's bill contains the gen eral idea of a measure now being pre pared by the Attorney-General and which will make its appearance later when it has been worked out in detal. Roughly, the measure is intended to meet the Government plan, suggested by the Secretary of the Interior. I'rletlon Reported at Capital. At Washington there is a bit of fric tion between the Agricultural Depart ment arid the Secretary of the Interior over the soldier settlement measure suggested by the latter. This may re sult in the measure failing in Congress, but so far as Oregon is concerned. members or the Legislature wish to put the state in position where it can meet such offers as the Government may make. nemer congress does anything or not, there is a likelihood of the state acting, providing the bill being written by the Attorney-General goes through. senator Eddy, Governor WIthycombe and others are contributing their ideas to the proposition. Briefly, the bill is this: Provide model farms for soldiers supply the land. 60 acres, stock it and put on the improvements and imple ments. jt is estimated that the cost will be approximately J12.500 to make one of these bO-acre farms complete, An appropriation of between $500,000 ana ?2i0,000 will be asked. "Model Farm" Bill Favored. With such a sum, it will be possible to have about a score of these units. What the people behind the pro gramme would like la to establish one much model farm in each county. Such a programme would take care of only a few soldiers, scarcely four squads and their corporals. When viewed in this light the programme shrinks to small proportions and does not appear adequate for the money appropriated. However, it would be start, and it is frankly admitted to be nothing more than an experiment best. y estaDiisning a model farm in ach county the theory is that it would be an incentive to the surrounding larmera, and thus raise the standard of efficiency and production on the farms. State Credit- Is Proposed. An easy system of financing is be ing outlined, which will enable the returned soldier who wishes to buy r.ne of these model farms ample time in which to pay. By invoking the credit of the Btate. issuing bonds and receiving payments from the install ment purchasers, it is predicted tha CHARLES RAY IN SCEXE PROM HIS LATEST PHOTOPliY, BEANS," AX COLUMBIA THEATER, I HM-HII 1!

A new film programme will be of fered at the Majestic Theater today, with Alice Brady in "In the Hollow of Her Hand" as the headliner. A Harold Lloyd comedy, Pathe Weekly and Of ficial War Review are also on the new bill. Myrtle Stedman, who was In Portland on a singing tour of film houses a year ago, is a member of the Alice Brady cast, with A. J. Herbert a supporting player. The story of a young girl, who in self-defeMse murders another woman's husband and is later protected from the law by the wife of the man she murdered, is unfolded in "In the Hoi low of Her Hand." the original one-farm-to-the-county idea can be expanded and in the course of time there will be many scattered throughout the state. In the bill being drafted provision is being made for the creating of a commission which will be incorporated and empowered to acquire land, stock and equip it and then sell it to the prospective soldier settler. Supervi sion of these model forms is to be made by the Oregon Agricultural College. For some time past the outlines of this piece of legislation has been in cubating. Governor Withycombe touched on It in his message. There a special committee in Portland which has been investigating and this body is lending active support to the movement and is aiding in the prepa ration of the measure to be submitted. Extra Pay Is Sought. Late today Senator Moser contribu ted to the soldier literature by offering a memorial to Congress asking that body to give six months' pay to all sol diers, sailors and marines who served in the war with Germany, and to pro vide one good suit of civilian clothing when they are demobilized. In the House Mr. Sheldon issued an appeal to all people of the state who have ideas on reconstruction to Fend them to the reconstruction committee. It will be seen, however, that to date the Legislature has not advanced any comprehensive reconstruction legisla tion for the soldiers. There are bills, memorials and resolutions and an ap propriation of $100,000 for temporary relief, but aside from asking the High way Commission to build roads in the wet season and the prospective Dili to place some 30-odd soldiers on ideal farms, the real solution has not been advanced.
