one the most important from the standpoint of a large number of people from jour state is that of legislation affecting the ex-service men and their dependents. To give a. pension to their widOWS and dependents, it is estimated would entail a cost of nbout forty million dollars a year Also the chances. for payment of the balance the adjusted compensation are very slim.

One of the most. helpful efforts to aid unemployment was started by 2. Men's Bible Class of this city. Taking the idea that needed repairs in thousands of homes should be done now, instead of waiting until spring or summer, if at all, would give positions to vast number of skilled laborers, house to house canvass is to This idea is spreading and if the cities and towns should follow, it would alone not only give work for thousands directly engaged, but also those producing, raw materials and in manufacture. There is another bill--the rather unusual step of direct Federal aid for the unemployed was favorably reported.

The bill calls for an initial expenditure of-375 millions, and, while the President is against the bill, yet with Democratic and Independnt Republican support, it stands a chance of passage. It carries. 125 millions for immediate aid and 250 millions for the next fiscal year which begins in. July." The matter of tax increase is going to be brought home to most of us. In addition -to the many other items, the question 'of three-cent postage may be included.

and not objecting to it ebing placed on the other fellow. But it is going to be put 011 many things, and we may as well realize it.
