Dues.
AS is always the case in an organ
ization of this kind. the matter of
collecting dues is a problem to the
officers entrusted with that duty. The
fiscal year for this post formerly
u
of dues membership cards were
issued, good until June 1st. 1920.
but by a ruling adopted at the ma
tiOnal convention, the fiscal year for
each local post was made coincident
with the calendar year. Also an as
sessment of 81 was levied on each
member or the support of the Amer
lean Legion Weekly. On January l,
1920, this post RENTED $500 to the
weekly to cover the subscription of
each active member as of that date,
and at the same time raised the dues
for 1920 to SO, which included his
subscription to the weekly. If you
