Sprague, chairman of the Le-; gion’s rehabilitation ‘committee. today} asserted that a recent statement by the United States Veterans’ bureau of the work it has done “conveys impres- sions that may be misinterpreted or mis-used.” ‘Mr. Sprague said the bureau’s statement of work done, signed byi C. R. Forbes, director, was true, but he declared that “no’statement should be given out by the Veterans‘ bureau | to the general public which would give| the impression that the bureau or the! government is a ‘benefactor’ to the sick and disabled ex-service men.” The Sprague statement said that the bureau announcement with reference to hospitalization was restructed to number of patients and costs, contin- uing that “many men in all parts ot} the country have suffered and are still suffering because of inadequate or un- satisfactory hospital conditions.” “We ought not to be satisfied until Positive that every American soldie: and sailor who was handicapped vy his service receives fair and adequate treatment, care, and if necessary, re- habilitation,” he said.

The statement of the Veterans’ bu- reau, to which Mr. Sprague took ex- ception, said in reference to hospital- ization, that the bureau was “provid- ing, without cost, hospital care and{| treatment to 30,000’ veterans. Talis care includes board and lodging and! rerresents an expenditure by the gov- ernment of $60,000,000 per annum.” The bureau, according to the Forbes statement, also was declared to be paying out more than $1,000,000 daily directly to former service men or their dependents, giving vocatiomal training, | without cost, to more than 190,000 dis- abled service men at a yearly cost of $30,000,000, conducting an insurance business for more than 600,000 vet- erans without administration cost to them, and giving outsile treatment in cases where hospitalization is not re- BIG SNOWSTORN HITS WYOMING Casper, Wyo., April 6—The heaviest | snowstorm of the winter was in pro-| quired to 20,000 men every month.

IRRIGATION ‘MANY CITIZENS INVITED|,, BELIEVE STATE CAN SELL BONDS Bond Market and Finds Favorable Response MAY MAKE SALES SOON Belief that bonds of North Dakota can be sokl above par in the future is expressed by members of the state administration. Both a changed con- dition in the bond market and a chang- ed attltude towards the state on the part of eastern investors have created 4 condition that the administration believes will reflect favorably in the offering of future issues. It is considered likely that in the near future the state will offer for sale a large block of farm loan ponds. It is probable that sale of bonds may be made, with delivery dates based up- on the rapidity with which farm loang are negotiated. ‘There is an advant- age in sale of bonds iy large lots but a consequent disadvantage to the state in accumulated interest charges if funds. from bond sales cannot be used without delay. Governor Nestos has been engaged in the task of-preparing the way. for future bond issues and, for sale of municipal and other bonds from North Dakota by conducting a quiet “boost- er” campaign in behalf of the state. One of the results of the campaign pointed out» here is receipt of word that two “ticker” services which carry news throughout the eastern financial world carried-a “story” to the’ effect that representatives of large eastern investors had sent in a ‘report favor- able to North Dakota for the first time in six years. The “story,” according to word reaching here) alsowas carried in the financial columns of large eastern newspapers. The net result of the investigation of the situation in the state by repre- sentatives of eastern investors and the “booster campaign” carried on is that statements already have been made to the administration that under Present conditions bands can be sold at a better figure than heretofore. One member of the Industrial Com- mission expressed the belief that North Dakota could sell state bonds at 5 1-2 per cent interest at a premium of two points. : After: the accession of the present members of the Industrial Commission the bond contract previously made for the sale of $12,300,000 bonds was mod- ified, so that $500,000 of real estate bonds wére sold at 5 3-4 per cent, the previous contract for all being at 6 BE HELD HE per cent, and $6,100,000 of bonds with- rs aoe? drawn from the contract.
