"Well. Jack." answered hla Uncle, "1 guess you haven't heard whut the Republican congress In Washington hn don to help such fellows ai Tommy Smith. They hnve pa sued a hill which will help the Krnltha to Ret alone without outaldn help. Thla new bill uieana more than Jim helping Tommy Smith. It mean helping thou aanda of fellows like him." "How much will Tommy get?" "The men who were wounded In the war," answered Uncle Ted, "are, under thla new bill grouped In four clauses. That Is, those whom?

That Is because he was not married, and therefore, had no children, he re ceived $30 a month and In addition 110 a month for his father, who Is de pendent upon him, and $10 for hla mother, who Is also dependent upon him. That made the total amount of (50. "Now this did not seem enough for these men and boys who hud given the best part of their lives to help lie k tho Germans and who had come buck crippled for life. Tbe great sol diers and sailors organization, of which I am a member, felt that these men should receive more money from i government as wealthy as ours, as did many of the big men In congress at Washington. So one man I par ticular. Representative Iturton E. Sweet, a Republican from the state of 1owa, made it his Job to take what was known as the War Risk Insurance ac t and rewrite It so as to give these men as near as possible the amounts of money they should receive, or at least enough so that tbey could live. Too much cannot be said for the fine work Mr. Sweet did on this bill. He worked early and late until he had what he thought was the best bill possible and which since then haa come to be known as the Sweet bill. Under this new bill Tommy gets $80 a month Instead of $30, besides $10 for his father and $10 for his mother, I milking $100 In all that he will get each month from now on instead of $50 a month as before." "Did this great organization to which you belong, think his bill was all right?" asked Ruth. "The organization not only thought his bill all right, but at the big con vention recently. It was resolved that It would help with Its Influence to see the bill made a law. It passed the house of representatives last September but because of the peace treaty and other bills it did not pass the senate until December 19th. But what makes me so glad about the whole matter Is. that the Democrats have been saying that since the Re publicans got control of congress they hadn't made or passed any bills to help the soldiers or sailors. They can't say a word now for with the passing of this bill, which was writ ten by a Republican and made a law by a Republican congress the wound ed men are given enough so that they will not have to get out and beg to keep from starving to death. It is so far ahead of the old bill that there 1 is no comparison." "How about the fellows who have wives or children?" asked Jack. "1 will give you the whole thing. Jack, comparing the old bill and the new. I have told you about how ! much Tommy gets each month under! the new bill nnd of course all fellows I lu his fix get the same.

L. O. Hulin, Cashior of the above-named bank, do solemnly swear that the above statement is true lo the beat of my knowledge and belief. L. O. HULIN, Cashior CORRECT Attest : CI IAS. L. SCOTT. L. K. PAG IS, J. F. SMITH, Directors. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 14th day of January, 1920. ; FRANK A. DePUE, Notary rubllc for Oreg.on. My commission expires Januurx 9th, 1924. . , who hits no children got $45 a month. Tho new bill gives him $90 a month. If the fellow has a wife and one child he got $55 under the old bill and he now gets $95. Under the old bill, the fellow who had a wife and two child ren got $65 and if he had a wife and three or more children he got $75. The new bill gives that man $100 a month. If a fellow's wife Is dead and he has a child living he got $40 a month under the old hill with $10 for each additional child up to two. Now In all these cases. Just as In Tommy's case if the fellow has a father or mother or both of thcMii denendent upon him he gets $10 a month for each. Another thing the. new bill does Is to give every man who needs a nurse to be with him at all times, $20 a month more besides whatever else he may receive." "I low much will Fred Jones get?" .asked Jack. "You know he lost both, his legs." "Fred Jones." answerod Undo Ted. ."because he has lost both his legs Is considered totally and permanently disabled and he will get $100 a month compensation. If he has insurance he will get $57.50 in addition to the $100. That brings up tho question of what a man will receive who, for Instance, lias lost one arm at the shoulder. That 1b called a partial permanent Injury, and for it he will receive 70 per cent of the $100, or $70. In all these cases whatever Insurance a man may have wlth the government comes in addi tion to these amounts I have men tioned, and which are called compen sation. A wonderful schedule has been worked out in this new bill so that every man who was injured In the war Is assured of receiving an amount large enough for his partlcu- condltkn that they cannot do their work a they did before have at least been remembered by the government with mooey enough to live as men should live who were willing to give their livos for their country."
