Salein. April L'l. 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.

Probe Asked.
Washington. April "I. Initial steps
looking toward a complete senatorial in
vestigation of the recent action of the
interior and navy departments iu open
ing up naval oil reserves to private in
it-rests was taken tmlnv by Senator I-a
ToUette.
I. a Kollctte's move is considered the
opening gun of a "conservationist" fight.
He introduced a resolution calling up
on the secrerary of the interior for n list
and th't tiiN of oil leases made by the de
partment in naval oil reserves 1 and U.
'nIifornia and number It Wyoming. Con
tracts for taking oil from these reserves
were signed reeeutly with the Mammoth
(HI and the Tan American Vctroleuin
companies.
Ia Follcf tc asked that all executive
orders and correspondence and other
documents relating to the lease be pre
sented to the senate, illic said be had
fought bard to save the oil reserves for
the navy. Kx-Secretnry of the Navy
Daniels related that efforts had been
made to grub the oil during the war on
a plea of necessity for willing the strug
gle, lloth he and the then secretary of
the interior stood out against such ex
ploitation, holding it: was not necessary
for the winning of the war.
"In niy judgment," the letter said, "it
would be a great wrong to lease these
oil reserves. The wishest policy of con
servation as well lis the navy's efficiency
in the future depends largely upon hold
ing these uaval reserves intact."
