A~? T took but a few minutes for the senate committee at Olympia to approve unanimously a memorial to congress asking the payment of $300 to each serv- ice man discharged. Now let us see how long it will take the same senators to approve the bill introduced by Senator Lamping asking the state of Washington also to con- tribute towards the same good purpose. Lamping wants every man from this state who has given two months or more service to the country in the present war to receive $10 a month for the entire period of his service. This, it is estimated, requires an appropriation by the state of $2,500,000. The Lamping bill will be the test of our solons’ sincerity with reference to aiding the soldiers and sailors. It was easy—very easy—for them to ask congress to make an appropriation. How about making one themselves? It was easy for the Chamber of Commerce and for other organizations, too, to ask congress to do something. Will there now be a howl about the amount of taxes this $2,500,000 will mean in this state? The Star feels that the very first step in the re- construction program must leave no stone unturned in the attempt to make immediate provision for the returning men from ALL camps. Road building programs, arid land cultivation, and other projects are fine. But they do not feed the men NOW. Nor do they take care of the soldiers’ families while they are readjusting themselves to civilian life. They need some ready cash. And they ought to have it. The state and the nation owe it to them. Not only that, but the state and the nation will be far better off, as institutions, if the returned men are made contented instead of discontented. Senator Lamping’s bill ought to receive as speedy consideration at the hands of the senate and the house as the congressional memorial did at the hands of the senatorial committee in Olympia. Every truly patriotic citizen of this state should stand squarely behind the senator in this fight. Write to the representatives of your district. Write to your state senators to pass the Lamping measure. Then also write to your congressman to pass the $300 bill. Don't put it off. Don’t say you'd sign a petition if it were presented to you. Write your own letter. Nothing is more effective than several thousand let- _ters from plain individuals on this subject.
