Show Much Proposed Legislation. So many ideas have developed in congress as to what should be done for the former service man, that Senator Robinson of Kansas has proposed the appointment of a special joint committee commit-tee to keep tab on proposed legislation of that nature. Some 1,300 measures relating to insurance compensation, back pay, bonuses, homesteading privileges, priv-ileges, home buying schemes, proposed loans and many other matters of interest in-terest to those who served with the colors,, have been introduced in th present congress ;nd referred to various vari-ous committees. The average is almost al-most three bills per member for both houses. Senator Robinson would have three men from the house and three from the senate appointed to sift the wheat from the chaff in all such legislation. |
