VOL. IV NO. 7 CONGRESSMAKWEAVER-VOTED TO INCREASE SOLDIERS PAY. rLSE CHARGES: : ';' Iq a printed circular letter signed 5yB. Jackson, Chairman of Mr. gritt's campaign committee, ah at tempt is being made to create the impression that Congressman , Zeb ulon Weaver voted against a bill to increase our soldiers pay. Such charges or intimations are false and should be condemned by all honest men. Mr. Jackson is- either grossly iiorant of Mr. Weaver's record on this subject, or he has intentionally misrepresented it. -. THE TRUF FACTS. War was declared against; Ger many by our Goverment April 6, 1917. Congress at once begair to take measures to raise and equip cur army. The Selective Service Act for this purpose was introduced U.itil this time our saldiers were re ceiving only $15.09 per month. An amendment to this bill was offered increasing rheir pay to $30.00. Mr. Weaver voted for this increase, see pr.e 1549 of Permanent Congress ional Record. The whole bill, that is, the Selectiva Service Act, con taining the amendment to increase c.ir soldiers pay to $30.00 was then voted upon and upon an Aye and Nay vote, Congressman Weaver again voted for the $30.00 increase of soldiers pay. See permanent Con gressional Record May 16th, 1917, page 2396. Thus the record shows that Congressman Weaver voted twice, and at every opportunity gof fered for increasing our soldiers pay t ) $30.00. The bill being now com pleted in the House it went over to tue Senate for passage there. The Senate amended tKe whole bill in iu an y. particulars and sent itback to the House for agreement upon these amendments. Congressman v eaver voted to disagree to these amendments adopted in the Senate; i he House having refused to ac cept the amendments added in the Senate, made it necesary to refer the bill to a conference committee composed , of members of both houses on which committee were bah Democrats and Republicans, Hon Julius Kahn being the ranking publican on the part of the House of Representatives. It is the duty if a conference committee to adjust and reconcile differences between i he House and Senate so that a bill n;; y finally pass and become law. Un'ess these differences are so' set tled, the whole Bill fails to become law. The conference committee on ii is Selective Service Act finally after much deliberation agreed'up-. o.i the bill and reported it to both buses. Under this report and ex 33iiag law, the private soldier called to foreign service would have re ceived $25.00 per month pjus twen ty percent additional or $30.00 per month. A motion was made by Mr. Coed of Iowa to recommit tnebilL to the conference Committee, and Mr. Weaver is now being criticized fcr voting not to - re-commit. Tli? I.t. Good is one of the -bitterest Re- Publicans in Congress and has re peatedly criticized the president It was a matter of supreme im P rtance.that the conference report fchonld be promptly adopted.

Hubert' Dent, Jr. House Repieaentatives. My dear Mr. Dent: m V Now that the ' Army Bill has been successfully brought out ? of Conference,'" I want to express to you my sincere appreciation of the erviCct iV0U and vour willftfldiiw have rendered in helping to bring tne bill to a filial consideration free from any feature that would embar rass the system of draft which it is based. I trust that ' the Conference- report may be very promptly adopted. Every hour counts in these critical times, and delay might hive very serious con- sequences. ' Sincerely yours, "WOODROW WILSON" Hon. Julius Kahn, .the ranking Republican meinuer of the House Committee on Military affairs voted as Mr. Weaver vottjd, He made a speech against Mr. Good's motion to re-commit See Permanent Congrss icial record May 16, 1917, pages &&jo ana yo. Mr. iveun in oppos J ing said motion, said: . "What are the facts about this matter? The pay of the soldier under this bill will be $25 a month on his first enlist ment If he has subsequent en listment he gets additional pay, Jf he is a pri vate of the 1st class he gets $3 a month extra. For expert markmanship he gets c5 additional. So that a private of First Class who has a number of enlistments under this bill . will get about $37 a month and over, and 20 per cent additional if they get foregin service. The American whoets$25 ajnonth . under this bill; when ,he goes in-' to foreign service will get an in, crease of 20 per cent, or $30 a month, and that is all the Gen tleman of Iowa '(Mr. Goode) is contending for. The moment our private soldier puts his foot on the d3ck of a ship to gd across the Atlantic, under the bill proposed by the conferees his pay will jump to $30 a month. I submit to the House this proposition. f hen a bill goes to Conference it is nacessary for the Conferees to give and take. . The House Conferees could not get everything that we wanted in the bill. We have to yield some things to the Senate. They wanted some things in the Legislation just as earnestly as we did. This is a conference report, agreed to after mature deliberation, after lengthy discussion on the part of the Conferees of the two Houses, and I submit that un der the circumstances the House should standby the Con ferees. This bill has remained unacted upon for a Jong time. The country is growing impaii ent. Let us enact this into law. I feel confident that the pay of the soldier as proposed in. this? bill will be satisfactory , to the American people and the NVmerican soldier." Do vou belive President Wilson was opposed to an increase of the w pay of the American soldier? He asked to have this conterence report promptly adopted. Mr. Weaver vot ed for its adaption as requested by the Presideet and is condemned for his vote by Mr. Britt. I Po you belive that .Mr. Kahn, the Republican leader, wished to dis criminate against the soldier? He states the. facts. - Whom will you believe,. President Woodrow Wilson and Hon Julius Kahn, of will you belevd Brownlow Jackson, Mr. Britt's campaign man ager; who seeks to deceive the vot ers of this district into casting their ballots for Mr. Britt?

WHAT PID MR. BRITT DO FOlK THE SOLDIER? Mr. Britt was 'in congress two years. Daring part of this time our boys were fighting on the Mexican border, at $15 per month. He made no effort to increase their pay. The Spanish Ameriean war was fought under.a Republican administration. They did nothing to increase the soldiers pay, 1 Mr. Weaver has been consistently on all legislation the soldiers friend In the present election he offered to Mr. Jaokson to permit every soldier to vote unchallenged, regardless of the payment of poll tax. To Mrv Weaver the. uniform of an Amerisan soldier was as good as a $2.00 poll tax receipt, This proposition was refused by Mr. Brownlnw Jackson, manager for Mr Britt, who has. now become so anxious about the "Wei feir of the soldier.

Out of seventy-four inoculations, - thirty-three were follow ed 'in from two to six months by the development of warts, .according to 1896, p. 497. This goes to show that warts must be caused by some specific micro-organism. Ajvart may be con sidered a nest of bacteria. In young people warts are only-a nuisance. When warts come on the skin of elderly people, or people of middle age, they seem Co have a tend ency to break down into little ulcers which presently prove to be cancer ous.
