February i 1B21 Two Soldier Bills Before Legislature “Two soldiers’ bonus hills ex-service men are completed and one measure has been in troduced in the Senate. That one of them will pass is almost a certainty which one is very much of an uncertainty. Whether either or both bills will provide for submission to the people, or whether the legisla tors have sand enough to pass it and take the responsibility, is a'so speculation. The loan bill calls for submission to the voters. “The lean bill also provides for four loans up to a $200 limit, made to former service men with honorable discharges, who were residents of Oregon at the time of the war and who are still residents, on the basis of $100 for each month insevMce; the loan to be for the purpose ot acquiring home property or improvment of property already owned, the loan to be secured by mortgage on such property. The loan is not to exceed 75 per cent of the cash value of such property and will carry 4 per cent interest. “The bonus bill provides for a payment of $25 for each month ot service to both males and fe males in the army, navy or ma rine wings of service, who were residents of Oregon during the war and are still residents, and would extend to include the grade of captain. No such compensa tion is to be allowed to persons who were in training camps at the time of the war’s closing, or to conscientious objectors or men who receive additional compen sation such as in the spruce camps, etc., or to soldiers who have already received state ben efits in excess of what would he their allowance under this bill.” Banner-Courier. Four weeks from tomorrow, it will be moving day at the White House, one man going in and the other out. Vale el Ate! • - fo r Down at Salem Senator Bruce Dennis, who is also editor of the La Grande Observer, has been unbosoming himself in his paper about bis experiences in the legislature. In a characteristic vein he gives a very interesting resume of the week’s happenings, part of which we here reproduce: “We find that Oregon is a big state; that there are many con flicting interests; that there are men schooled in the a**t of “get ting things.” But be it said correctly that this state senate is about as independent a hunch of “highbinders” as was ever gathered together. Even' the boys on the metropolitan press admit this fact, and be it furth er understood that those boys w ho have been covering the leg islature for many years know whereof they speak. The “press table” has a decided effect on legislation in Oregon.” “Men dig their political graves,” to use the expression of my old friend Senator Fierce, by a slip of the tongue which is immediately caught by alert newspaper men and placed on t e \ irjs. * “Many a plan that seemed feasible to a legislator when he was at home, on the ranch, or in his office, is shown unworka ble when applied to the state as a whole, and in this newspaper men figure quite extensively for their ¡judgment is always good, and usually they give everyone who consults them a square deal and the benefit of their knowl edge.” _____________ The disagreement of the iury in the Lotisso trial for the mur der of his 18 year old wife provokes the comment, that one never knows what a jury will do. There was i.o denial that he committed the shooting, .hut h a lawyers made him the victim of a brainstorm, caused by some injury to his head, and then cast slurs on the fidelity of his wife. This hunk evidently won over so mg of the jurors. The un written law has been worked to- a frazzle and it is time that a halt should he called on its sup erseding the written law. Severe storms have been rag ing along the coast doing a great deal of damage. Those who have only been to the coast dur- i lg the summer have no idea of the ferocity of the sea in a storm. It is an awe inspiring spectacle as the immense waves roll in and with thurdering crash hurl themselves on the beach. There are two splendid descrip tions of a storm at sea, one is in Fsalm 107 and the other in one of the books of Virgil’s Aeneid. cThE S i RADI VARA "K N O W N FOR TONE PATENTED ^ Don’t Class the Stradivara w ith a Common Talking Machine. • • • • • The Siradavara is a real instrument.
