WINNIPEG, Manitoba, March 16.—
Preliminary measures have been taken
by the Dominion repatriation commit
tee for carrying out the broad plan
of assisting returned soldiers v and
their dependents, which may Involve
a government expenditure of $100,
000,000.
Loans totaling more than $1,500,000
already have been granted t thousand
or more returned soldiers, while t00
others have made entries on govern
ment land under the soldier settlement
act, Ottawa has officially announced.
The government’s program a3 pro
pared thus far would allow a returned
soldier a free grant of a quarter sec
tion, on homestead conditions, in au
dition to his ordinary homestead right.
This privilege is extended under the
soldier settlement act. The govern
t ment has suspended entry by others
I .—

than soldiers on all remaining home
stead lands in the westeren provinces
within fifteen miles of railway, trans
portation.
A soldier Is eligible to a maximum
loan of $2,500 for purchase of live
stock, erection of buildings and other
improvements when he goes on the
land. The loan, which must be repaid
in twenty annual installments, is
given in the form of refunds of ex
penditures. Interest of 5 per cent is
charged. An additional $1,000 may be
advanced if the land is improved.
The government is co-operating
with the soldier settlement board to
acquire suitable lands now held un
cultivated by private owners. Gov
ernment officials say that at the com
ing session of parliament legislation
will be sought for obtaining great
tracts of such land to be resold to sol
diers at cost.
Plans for reconstruction work are
going forward rapidly. Officials at
Ottawa have informed mayors of lead
ing cities in Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta that the government is
ready to give each province $1,000,000
for road work, provided the provinces
make this appropriation the minor por
tion of a good roads fund. The govern
ment will not pay more than 40 per
cent of the highway expenditures in
any province.

WOMEN ACTIVE
ASMEMBERSOF
LEGISLATURE
DENVER, Colo., March 15.—Sena
tor Agnes Riddle of Denver and Rep
resentative Dr. May T. Bigelow, also
of Denver, are among the most pro
lific lawmakers of the present legis
lature, the measures now pending for
which they are sponsor comparing
well with the lists of the most ex
perienced male solons at the state
house. Each has twenty-two bills to
her credit, either individually or in
conjunction with some other law
makers.
There are three women in the pres
ent legislature, all Republicans, and
all from Denver, the state’s largest
city. The other is Miss Malde Ruth
Baker.
Miss Baker is author of two reso
lutions and thre£ bills, which have to
do with school matters. She is a
member of the committee on Denver
civic affairs, medical affairs and public
health, temperance, and chairman of
the revision and engrossment commit
tee.
Senator Biddle's activities embrace
a wide field of endeavor from medical
bills, measures relating to women and
children down to asking compensation
for the death of a railroad guard. One
of her bills would require payment of
interest by banks on dally balances
of county funds. Another would cre
ate a home for women suffering with
venereal disease. Still another would
fix hours and wages for laboring
women. Dependent mothers would be
provided for in another.
Public health, education and morals
would be regulated by a majority of
Senator Riddle’s measures, but such
questions as irrigation, establishment
of a psynopathic examiner for all de
linquents, fixing county salaries, old
age pensions and incorporation of
ditch companies are included.
Dr. Bigelow’s measures, like Senator
Riddle’s, have largely to do with pub
lic health, morals and education, many
of the bills dealing with the same
subjects on which Senator Riddle
touches. She has several school
amendments', a provision for physical
education, regulation of dentistry,
child welfare, creation of.,.® depart
ment of- health, -w of
pharmacy and enlarging ' this' powers
of local boards of education.
Senator Riddle i3 on the following
senate committee: Horticulture, In
surance, Printing, Revision and En
grossment, Supplies and Expendi
tures. Dr. Bigelow is chairman of the
committee on Medical Affairs and
Public Health, and member of the
Denver City Affairs, Education, Towns
and Cities committees.
These law-making women take an
active part in debate and often it is
bitter debate, for the male law-makers
have grown to meet the verbal at
tacks of the “weaker” sex jufet as they
would the old-time legislator.
Every now and then a grizzled vet
eran of a dozen elections may be seen
'tiptolng over to the seat of ?!rs. Rid
dle and asking her opinion about some
bit of legislation. It is not an infre
quent sight.
