Let the People Decide The legislature will meet in special session two weeks from today. Convened by the governor for two specific purposes, the lawmakers have heard a great deal of prayer that they transact no other business. This would be good advice if the usual amount of politics again held sway. If, however, the legislature were to make up its mind that it would consider measures solely on their merits, there would not be, and there should not be, that uneasy feeling. And there are meritorious measures to be con- sidered. Not the least among these is a soldiers’ and sailors’ bonus bill. Is there a soul so dead he does not realize how wretchedly we have treated our returned service men? A few hundred dollars in many cases would mean the difference between utter despair _ decent opportunity to rehabilitate them- selves. The 1919 legislature had before it the Lam- ping bill. It was defeated by politics. Perhaps if the Lamping bill were again offered, it would again be defeated for the same reasons. The Star is not particularly partial to the Lamping bill. Its chief interest is to see the returned service men treated right. Could not the legislature approach this vastly important matter in a spirit of fairness and jus- tice, entirely devoid of personalities, eliminating. politics, and treating it wholly on its merit? The Stari is certain that the people of this state want to do the right thing—and would be glad of the op- portunity to voice their approval of a soldier? bonus bill. If the legislature is in the least in doubt on this score, why not prepare an HONEST measure, and submit it to a referendum vote of the people? Put-it- up-to the voters, rather than kill eee “ie Let the people decide!
