Legion to Ask 110000 for Idaho Veterans Aid Bill
Idaho American Legion leaders plan a Soldier Welfare bill asking 1100000 in appropriations for the next legislature. A five member commission would administer the funds to aid destitute and disabled veterans and their families, while preferring no state bonus due to strong federal relief options. The group also seeks 100000 for relief similar to GA R maintenance of headquarters, plus 10000 to preserve war records. Governor Davis praised for opposing land treaties with Japanese and aliens, with resolutions to support his stance. The executive committee plans care for Carey act land rights giving veterans priority on lands, while the Idaho department reports its finances near balance and posts cleared of debt.

Reclamation prospects for the Black Canyon look brighter as Congress considers an appropriation to fund a Payette River diversion dam and four miles of ditch. The $700,000 to $1,000,000 project would serve Canyon irrigation district farmers, who inked most construction costs, and extend water to public lands. University figures and local growers eye additional water facilities and speaking engagements in January.
