KLAMATH PALLS J! AS TWO
ASPIRANTS FOR MAYOR
Klamath Falls Is at present af
flicted with two mayors, both of
whom attempted to preside at the
last regular meeting of the council.
A friendly suit having already been
Instituted to decide who Is mayor the
matter will be decided In the supreme
court soou. City Attorney R. C.
C.ropsbpck discussed the situation ex
plaining that many cities of the state
were similarly situated owing to the
recent constitutional amendment.
Mayor Ciislcr said he did not wish
to hold office a day longer than Is
required to establish tho l'gality of
Mr. Struble's election, offering to pay
$50 on M". Struble's attorney f?es
us well as his own. Mr. Struble Raid
he was ready to abide by the Port
land decision of the supreme court
at the earliest possible time.
WOUNDED SOLDIERS AND
SAILORS REHABILITATED
The United States Government Is
resolved to do Us best to restore
every wounded American soldier and
sailor to health, strength, and sjjlf
supportlng activity.
Until his discharge from the hos
pital all the medical and surgical
treatment necessary to restore him
to health Is under tho Jurisdiction of
the military or naval authorities, ac
cording to the branch of the service
he Is In. The vocational training,
the reeducation and rehabllation
necessary to restore him to self-supporting-activity,
Is under the Juris
diction of the Federal Board for Vo
cational Education.
If he needs an artificial llmj) or
mechanical appliance the Govern
ment will supply It free, will keep It
In repair, and renew It when neces
sary. It after his d'scuarge he again
needs medical treatment on account
of his disability, too Government will
supply It frei While ho Is In the
hospital am', while training after
wards the soldier or sailor will re
ceive compensation as If In service
and his family or dependants will re
ceive their allotment.
A wounded soldier or sailor, al
tho his disability dos not prevent
hlra from returning to employment
without training, can take a course
of vocational training free of cost
and the compensation provldJd by
the war-risk Insurance act will be
paid to him and the training will be
free, but no allotment will be paid
to his family.
Every Liberty Bond holder who
holds his bond is keeping up a part
of this great work of .restoring to
health, strength, and usefulness the
men who have suffered for their
country.
