PAGGE TWO APPROPRIATIONS FOR U.S. I NTERIOR WORK INCREASED | Senate Committee Adds Over Three Mil- lions to Measure; Funds Set Aside for Work in All States Suffer WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—The senate appropriations committee toda; ordered reported the interior department appropriation bill, carrying a total of $298,967,831, an in- crease of $3,250, 519 over the amount contained in the measures passed by the house. The bill carries appropriations totalling. $25,330,000 for’ SOLDIER BONUS SENDORSED B LOCAL GHABER Early Action on Ary Plan That Will Not Retard Busi- ness Revival Urged in Resolutions, Atter having tabled the resotution tendered by the United States Cham- ber. of Commerce, the Casper Cham- ber of Commerce through action of the board of directors taken Monday @pproved 4 report which urges ad- usted compensation for ¢x-service men. Copies of the report Which was guthorized for approval at a recent forum meeting will be forwarded to the United States Chamber of Com- meres and to Wyoming’s representa- tives at Washington. A copy of the report adopted here folows: “The Casper Chamber of Com- merce having investigated Referen- dum No, 38 submitted by the United States Chamber of Commerce and having studied the several plans of adjusted compensation for the ex- service mén within the limited time available therefor, respectfully report that the adjusted plan of compensa- tion should be recommended in prin- ciple, not only from the standpoint of Precedent; but mom: particularly as an expression of gratitude from the American people to the ex-service men for the actual sacrifices which they have made and the much greater sac- they were prepared to make in Géfense of the principles on which this country fs founded. ‘We fulty realize that patriotism cannot be compensated for in money, and no measure of the character pro- posed, can, in the nature of things. be considered as affording full com- pensation. “As to the practical plans or meth- ods to be used or legislative measures to be enacted to accomplish the de- sired result, the Chamber of Com- merce of Casper, Wyo., owing to the immensity of the problems involved, has been unable to reach a definite determination. If a practical plan or a number of such plans can be work- ed out to accomplish a substantial recognition of the patriotic service of the ex-soldier, without materially re- tarding the revival of business in which the soldier is as vitally. inter ested as any other citizen, such a plan should be enacted into law as ex Peditiously as is possible. “The best brains in the Unfted States congress have earnestly tabor- ed on the best solution of this prob- lem for months. We feel that they « are in earnest in their offorts to meet the desires of the people, and that the method of providing adjusted com- pensation for present requirements and future needs, in the light of all conditions, should be left to their wider experience, thelr good judg- ment and patriotic devotion to their country.” pe els VEGETTBLE MOVEMENTS SLOW.
