State political appointments have long been subject to severe criticism by the general public. The deserve to be- The tax payer, the man who f. nances the State Government, is firm believer in the conservation of the States finances, and justly demands a fair return for moneys paid in the form of taxes. His appeal year upon year has been unheeded. Executives have continued to appoint whenever it was thought would be of material assistance to the political power in control, irregardless of the appointees qualifications, resulting, as is unive' sally agreed, in inefficient service and increased cost of taxation.
 To eliminate useless waste of the states money and to provide an effect i've and efficient state organization, the L.. A. Engle Jr. Post of the Ameri- can Legion, Bisbee, Arizona, in spite of the growls of our Political Lion, has submitted to the voters, to be passed upon by them at the coming election, a bill establishing a State Civil Service whereby practically. all the appointive positions in the State Service are placed onz a merit basis. These positions are to be subject to competitive examination and open to all, appointmnets following in accord lance with the grades obtained by the applicant.
 There is very little difference be- tween the discharging of all the em- ployees of a commercial organization each second year afd the cleanup in the state offices resulting from a change of political control or pre-elec- tion promises of appointment Each is disasterous to the stability and eff ficiency of it's respective organization.

National Benefits

National Benefits
 But few realize the benefits which will be realized through the efforts of the American Legion. Many are of the opinion our organization has only in view the welfare of it's members.
 Permit us to disabuse the minds of those who so believe by citing activ- ities which are being fostered by the Legion and brought forcibly to the at tention of those who art, masters of the destiny of our Nation
 Four million ex-service citizens, rep resentative of every walk of life, have sworn to ever uphold and defend the Constitution of our United States; to. foster and perpetuate a hundred per cent Americanism. The families, friends and associates of these men are in perfect sympathy with this oath. Sixteen million people are, as re- suit, banded together to uphold the principles which have and will ever cause our country to be looked upon by the world as the ideal.
 The Legion has organized Nation al Americanism Commission to es- tablish and conduct an educational system to
 (a) Combat all Anti-American ten dencies, activities and propaganda;
 (b) Work for the education of i'm migrants, prospective American citi- zens and alien residents in the princi- pies of Americanism;
 Co Inculcate the ideals of Ameri- canism in the citizen population, par ticularly the basic American princi- pde that the interests of all the people are above those or any special inter- est or any so called class or section of the people;
 (d) Spread throughout the people of the nation information as to the real nature and principles of American Government;
 (e) Foster the teaching of Ameri- canism in all schools.
 The Legion advocates and supports the Governments thrift and savings campaign-the Boy Scout movement and urges as a hearty support in< as- sisting our government in it's after was financial program as was accord ed during the war.
 These are not pen and ink aims and ideals. They are being urged by every legionaire, their enforcement demand >ed by the Legion as whole in order that we may live in an America for Americans and that posterity may know it as such.

Socialists Protest Barring
of Members From Assembly
(Ry ASsociatad procsN

NEW YORK, Jan. 8-A committee
OF eight local socialists today consider
ed plans of action in the case of five
members of their party who were not
allowed to take their seats in the state
assembly at Albany yesterday.
This committee was empowered to
take full charge of the incident after
lengthy conference last night at
the Rand school of social science. at
tended by members of the city, county
and state committees and the suspend
cd asscmblymen.
While the committee declined to
issue formal statement at present,
one member declared that one of the
first acts would be 'to obtain the
| cooperation of the labor unions" We
would not amplify this assertion ex-
cept to say that things are going as
they never did before"
The action taken by the assembly
was SO sudden 1t was explained that
legal matters would have to be con-
sidered carefully before a public an
nouncement was made.
The suspended assemblymen, while
roundly denouncing the action, admit
ted that htey did not know what
course to pursue, saying the matter
was now entirely in the hands of their
party.
