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. Mail application blanks in the
envelopes which will be distributed at
Ike same time. This will facilitate re

President Coolidge signed after dis
approving some of its provisions.
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

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.
