F ormer Service Men Endorse
Greater College Movement

Shreveport, La, April 20.--Mem-
bers of Petroleum Post of the Amer
lean Legion of oil men,. the oil hubs
organization of former service men,
has gone on record in favor of the
proposed 100000 memorial building
to be erected at Baton Rouge. With
out a dissenting vote, the organiza-
ton pledged its hearty moral and fl
nancial support to the project.
The move was started some time
ago by members of David J. Ewing
post of the American Legion at Bat
on Rouge. According to present plans
the building will be placed on the
grounds of the Louisiana State Uni
versity and will include a large au-
ditorium for public meetings, educa-
tional exhibits and probably library.
The funds for the memorial, which
will be dedicated to Louisiana's sons
who fell on European battlefields,
will be secured through public sub
scription. The drive begins next
month.
Requests from individual members
in the oil industry in other sections of
the country for information regard
ing the former service mems oil le-
giOn have been received here and a
movement to make the organization
a national one has been started. In
the event that this is done, the name
will probably be changed to distin-
guish it from the American Legion it.

because none but former soldiers

numbers of former soldiers and sail
ors engaged in the oil industry, will
organize posts as soon as the legion
has been nationalized.

Agricultural College Gets
Another Big Boost

Shreveport, April 17.-Unqualified
endorsement was given last night to
the greater agricultural college move
ment'by Caddo parish members of the
general assembly at banquet at the
Caddo hotel where they were the
guests of the Shreveport L. S. U,
club.
More than a hundred L. S. U. alum
nj and former students attended the
meeting which had for its purpose the
encouragement of the proposal to
give the state university the means
to carry on agricultural work.
Dean R. L. Tullis Of the university
law school was the guest of honor
and the principal speaker of the eve
ming.
E. Wyles Browne, senator-elect
from Caddo; Scott Wilkinson, repre-
sentative from Caddo; T. NJ. McEach-
ern, representative from Claiborne
parish; and Clarence Ellerbee, plant
er and capitalist and leader OF the
progressives in agricultural affairs,
all spoke enthusiastically in favor of
the movement designed to give Louis
lana greater opportunity to take adj
vantage of its agricultural possibili-
ties. Dean Tullis devoted himself
principally to presenting compare
tive data to show how inadequate is
the provision made for the state uni
versity. He cited the liberal appro-
priations made by other states to their
universities and pointed out the adj
vantages gained. Lack of funds has
hampered the university in develop
ment to keep pace with. the progress
made in other ways than in agricul-
tural matters. Louisiana ranks

Louisiana is well able to furnish
the money for a greater agricultural

editor Of the Star Progress /:

Editor Of the Star-Progress:
l have been unusually busy for
some time and that is why you have
not heard from me.
The suffragettes are bent upon
adopting the federal amendment. For
a Southern state to do so would be a
crime. If suffrage has to come
(Which God forbidD let it come by
state enactment, not by the national
legislature. Let the states retain as
they have heretofore done, this grant.
It makes me tired to hear lawyers ar
que that this federal amendment
does not regulate" the right to vote.
They say: "It only grants women
that right" The amendment reads:
"The right of citizens of the
United States to vote, shall not
be denied or abridged by the
United States or any state on ac-
count of sex.
And having said this much, they
shut their eyes to the painful fact
chat Section of said amendment
reads:
"Congress shall have power
by appropriate legislation to
enforce the provisions of this
article"
Here, then, you have the supreme
law of the land" declaring that:
First-All women shall vote.
Second--That the congress
shall see to it that hits right is
not denied or abridged.
Negro women do not vote at pres
emit. This article would grant them
The tight and once granted, it could
not be abridged.
Let US reason fairly. Why should
the people of this southland double
the negro vote?
Why should they admit the negro
woman is qualified to exercise this
right? In voting for the amendment,
they not only admit this, but they al
10 vote to grant to the federal govern
.nent the right to enforce it by zap
propriate legislation"
The opposition argues being an act
Of congress, the government could
even without this section, enact legis-

nut why should Southern white men
invoke the strong arm of the national
government to enforce right which
