Legion backs Mondell bill for soldiers settlements plan

A Paris and St Louis Legion meeting approved the bill in principle and sent representatives to Washington to push enactment. The plan envisions returning searchers to reclaim semiarid and overflowed lands, paying workers, and selling lands later to fund ongoing development.
