9> ADMINISTERING BONUS WILL BE I CONGRESS CLOSES LENGTHY SESSION A HUGE TASK War Department Gives Out Informs- ^ taoo to Those Who May Be Entitled Washington,' June 4.—The war de partment faces a huge administrative task in order to comply wjth the pro visions of the adjusted compensation art. This fact has been recognised Jor sometime, and elaborate plans have been kept up-to-date with every change in any proposed methods of compensation which might have an important effect upon the administra tion of the measure. Plans contemplate that a force of 2JB00 clerks will be required for the ’operation. The 200 clerks now in the world war records division, the adjutant geneal’s office will constitute a aedues. Amout two months will be spent in organizing and training the complete force. Then applica tions will commence to be handled. At first the output will be small, but ultimately it is assumed that a peak of 70,000 certificates a day will be attained. Based upon an average of 30,000 certificates a day the process should be completed in about nine months if applicants are prompt in Arrangements have been made to distribute application blanks through the Post Office Department, the Amer ican Legion, various military head quarters and civic societies. Applica tion blanks will have about twenty questions which are all pertinent to determine the allowances prescribed by law. In order to avoid costs to the applicants, oaths have been avoided as far as practicable * . Finger print records are required on the application blank. This is the first time that this valuable aid to identification has been used by any government bureau in extending bene fits to veterans. The primary object in using them is to protect veterans and their dependents from forged ap- piirstionn and to provide a positive mesas of identkation whereby vet erans and dependents may at any time in the future identify themselves without having to go through the tefious and long drawn out process of locating individuals who can identify them as the individuals who served or the dependents of those who nerved. This may not seem very im portant at present, while the com rades of veterans are living, but twen ty years from now many of the com rades able to identify veterans will iwve passed away, The finger print record will then make this task easy. In order to facilitate operation of the law, the war department requests co-operation in the following particu- Bitter Debate and Internal Party Strife Features of Session. Review of Work. Washington, June 7.—The Sixty- eighth congress,, which ended its first session tonight, has furnished fxcite- ment, sensation, bitter partisan de bate and internal party state of a character not witnessed in the dpitol in many years. , Six months and four days consti tute the life of the session and for practically *all of that time the mem bership divided attention beween the floors of the house and senate and ,the committee rooms, where cabinet offleers and their assistants, army and navy officials and a host of others passed in review before a group of investigating committees which kept Washington and the country tingling with the thrills they furnished. During the period two cabinet of ficers were forced out of office and the two houses locked horns repeat edly with the president over fiscal legislation. * The Mellon tax bin was born during the session, only to be discarded for 1. Do not write for application Hanks These will' be distributed as aoaa as prepared and unnecessary let ters will only create confusion and de lay. 2. Read carefully the instructions which will be printed with the appli cation blank. 3. Do not pay fees other than any notary charge. The law prohibits any person from charging a fee for assistance in the collection of the compensation. 4. Do not write the war depart ment for any information required by the blank. If the individual has not the information, supply it as best he can from memory. Inquiries to the department would only serve to delay the case by the double Search of the records which would be involved. 5.

The drastic immigration law, in cluding its Japanese exclusion pro visions, was placed on the statute books. The soldiers’ bonus law was enact ed, vetoed and reenacted over the veto. The Bursum pension bill for Civil war veterans met executive disapproval, as did the postal salaries increase bill. Farm legislation, embodied in half a dozen measures which were put into shape early in the session, failed of enactment, although efforts were con tinued for it up to the last hour. Likewise, no railroad legislation of great importance was placed on the statute books. This legislation, how ever, and much other was put into position whore it can be taken up at the next session, with much of the work of hearings and investigation completed. Muscle Shoals, a question which has been in the forefront how for many months, once more went over for set tlement at the December session. One of the important factors in the work of the session was the balance of power held by the insurgent group, headed by Senator La Follette (Re publican) of Wisconsin. This group, by reason of the close ratio between the Democrats and Republicans in both houses, wielded a powerful influ ence. Joining with the Democrats, it seated a Democrat, Senator Smith, of South Carol! as, as the head of the senate interstate commerce commit tee. In the house, again joining with the Democrats, it forced a revision of the rules. The constitutional right of congress to investigate government departments was never exercised to a greater ex tent. Beginning early with the Tea pot Dome inquiry, senate committees investigated Attorney General Daugh erty, theinterriaT CARD OF THANKS I sincerely wish to thank my friends and supporters for their sup port and confidence in Tuesday's pri mary.

On the house side the shipping board, the bureau of engraving and printing subjects and many other such subjects were inquired into. Reports on the oil investigation have been submitted, but on most of the others findings have yet to be made public. Zoning, Operates to the fieneht of Entire City . The Justice and legality of soaing under police or community power and the impracticability of toning when attempted through property condemna tion were emphasised at the national conference on city planning at Spring- field. Mass. It appears to be difficult for some property owners to grasp the fact that sonlng. In Addition to ita usefulness in stabilizing real estate valqes, Is primarily a public welfare measure, and that Its benefits are too numerous and too general to leave any occasion whatever for particular com pensation through condemnation pro ceedings. The legality of sonlng, wherever It has been tried under reasonable condi tions, has been established beyond doubt. The principle has been upheld, on two separate occasions, by the United States Supreme court. In one Instance the approval of the high court being given where a zoning ordinance was retroactive, The prindnje, goes back to the Tnheretit right o^ure peo ple of a state “to pass laws for the public safety, health, morals and gen eral welfare.” Exercise of the right is simply community power. It Is known also as police power, although the police are In no way directly con nected with It. Zoning authorities point out that this power is that which the state may use for protection against fire or the spread of disease. The high court of the nation has held that^ this power may embrace regula tions aimed at promotion of public convenience and prosperity. How zoning has to do with both pub lic safety and prosperity may be read ily seen. Through regulations govern ing the location of buildings and cer tain kinds of business and the nature of atrueture that may be erected In the various districts or sqngs, there come to be both protection of prop erty values and Insurance against un healthful conditions, plenty of light, air and sunahine are just as essential to physical wellbeing as la freedom from dirt, smoke and other unwhole some things that may be associated with commercial or Industrial plants In setting aside certain districts for residences and for industrial and com mercial establishments, zoning oper ates to the benefit of all concerned. Zoning Is one of the fairest and most promising features of modem city de velopment.
