Periston to test out the right of the state bonus commission to use its discretion in making loans on security offered hy ex-service men was reached by Capital post No. !, Amer ican Legion, at a special meeting Wed nesday night. The particular complaint of the service men is based upon the. no tion of the commission iu refusing to ex tend loans up to the full 70 per cent of the appraised value. The Legion contends that the law makes it mendatory "upon the commis sion to accept the value of property of fered as security as fixed by its board of appraisers to loan 75 "r cent of this ap praised value if the applicant so requests. The commission con tends that the law provides that loans may not be made "in excess of 7ft per cent" of the ap praised vajue of the security offered, re serving the right toreditce the amount of the bmn when in its opinion such action is necessary to safeguard the interests of the state. The controversy will bo tested out. through a mandamus proceeding to com pel the commission to reconsider a loan on which it has reducer! the applicant's request. T7ie executive commission of the Legion post has been instruct ed to re tail counsel and to institute, the suit at once. Term in Prison Produces Real Cure for Drug Habit San Krawism, April 111. V.
