prominence in the matter of Chautau-
qua standing. The writer Ray An

said discovery then is that Idaho

distinction. but the cold, hard figures
will give the palm to Idaho and not
leave Iowa with tent pole to lean
up against in support of her contention.
Consider Idaho. With a population
of approximately 10000. she has about
80 Chautauquas. OF this number rs
are served by Ellison- White. about M

means one Chautauqua for every $500

vice men, resolutions on anti-Ameri-
can propaganda, on military policy,
and the Centralia massacre.
RESOLUTIONS PASSED.
THE resolution pertaining to bene-
fetal legislation to service men dealt
with three principal topics. The first
was treatment of the wounded and dis
abled soldiers, sailors, marines and
nurses. This has to do with vocational
and educational training and rehabili-
tation of wounded and disabled men.
II was recommended that congress
rake additional appropriations ade-
quate to care for the thousands of
men who have already applied for
training and cannot now be cared for
because of lack of funds.
1.-The passage of the Sweet bill was
urged with the addition of family al
lowances as provided by the war risk
Insurance bill. In connection with the
latter bill it was urged that a decen-
tialization be brought about which
would make it possible for the wound
ed and disabled soldier to deal with
the local regional board instead of with
Washington. 1t was asked that ade-
, quate hospital and medical treatment
be given to wounded and disabled men
and that If they desired they should
be cared for by their own doctor.
"The legion pledged its hearty CO.
operation with the vocational board
and war risk Insurance board in car
rying on their work, and appointed q
special committee to deal with com
plants made by former service men.
SETTLEMENT PLANS DISCUSSED
"On the subject of land settle
rnent legislation for service men,
the legion took the stand that none
of the bills now pending before
congress would meet all require
ments. II therefore urged the i'm
mediate enactment of law to be
known as the American Legion
Home Founding act, embodying
reclamation of unproductive lands
by direct government operation;
reclamation and development OF
rural communities through gov
ernment loans; direct loans for the
purchase and development of
farms and direct leans for the pur-
chase of city homes.
1.-THE convention took a vigorous
stand on all subjects dealing with anti
Americanism Alien slaekers who, hav-
l,;g taken out their first citizenship
papers, gave them up to evade mill
tary service were severely condemned
and their deportation was asked
