passed by the legislature of 1919,
will be prevented by a change in the
bill that will be included in an
amending act to be introduced be
fore the special session. Changes
needed in the act were outlined at
a conference Sunday afternoon par
ticipated in by Senator alter M.
Pierce, author of the bill. W. T. Vin
ton, president of the senate, repre
sentatives of the attorney general's
office and heads of private and state
educational Institutions.
Abuse Are Cited.
Senator Pierce cited instances
where young ex-service men are re
ceiving the 25 monthly benefit pro
vided by the act and are spending on
ly an hour or so daily in school.
Abuses are said to exist both in the
public schools and in the higher In
stitutions. By a decision reached ab the, con
ference the amendment will make 1t
necessary that not less than SO hours
of day work must be done in school
each month to receive the maximum
of bejiefit under the act. or 24 hours
of night school work. Heads of the
educational institutions will be re
quired to report as to whether the
student is meeting the requirements
of the act.
A scale of benefits under the act
will be fixed, and students who at
tend school only an hour or so a day
will receive allowances of less than
the $25 monthly maximum. The
amendment will further provide that
all men who volunteered or who
were drafted into the service prior
to November 1, 1918. will be en
titled to the benefits of the act.
Tax to Im IncreHl.
For the reason that applications
under the act -have been by far
J greater than anticipated the amend
ment also will provide that the mill
age tax appropriation be four-tenths
Instead of two-tenths of a mill. This
would raise about $400,000 on the
basis of the present valuation of the
property of the state. This amend
ment win have to be submitted to
the people for their vote. Because
of the deficiency of about $300,000
which Is to arise under the law as It
now stands the legislature will be
asked to appropriate $4 00,000 to
meet the requirements of the approx
lmately 3)0rt men who have taken
anvaniage oi me act. and to cover
any furtiier deficiency that may an
