American Legion
(Ry Associated press,


NEW YORK, Sept. THE attitude
which the American Legion should
take toward politics and political can
didates will be one of the paramount
issues to be raised at the next nat
ional convention of that organization
to be held in Cleveland, O., Sept. 81.
says an announcement made today by
the Legion Weekly, after a canvass
Of members Of that body.
The official organ of the legion as
serts in its statement that strong
sentiment throughout the country in
favor Of reconsideration of the po-
litical restriction clause in the con-
stitution Of the legion is the most
| striking feature Of a nationwide sur.
vey just completed.
THE sentiment is widespread that
too narrow Interpretation of the
present political restrictions clause
will work injury to the legion by ex
Guiding it from participation in pub
lie affairs fthe country Many prom.
lnent legion members believe the ex.
listing clause should stand as it is,
but more liberal Interpretation than
generally has been observed hereto
| fore, be agreed upon"
The present clause of the constitu.
ton provides that the legion shall
be absolutely non-political and shall
not be used for the dissemination OF
partisan principles or for the promo
ton Of the candidacy of any person
seeking public office or preferment,'
After quoting this clause, the Weekly
continues:
| Persons actively engaged in pro
noting the legion's interest assert
the demand has been spontaneous fol
a new statement of policy on the
attitude of the organization"
| Attention is called by the legion's
organ to a resolution adopted by it,
department of Indiana, to the effec1
| that each post in that state SHOULD
obtain and disseminate data Regarding
the stand taken by members of the
Indiana legislature and other politica
officials on all matters pertaining tt
the welfare of the American Legion
The Indiana resolution recommend
| ed that similar action be taken b.
the national convention concerning
the members of congress and nationa
public officials.
To show the views of Frankli:
D'Oler, the national commander, thu
legions weekly, quotes a message h.
sent to Basil Stockbridge, commando
of the Georgia department, concerning
fight the legion in Georgia has bee,
waging against Thomas E. Watson
candidate for United States senator
Mr.. D'Olier said:
Members of American Legion q
Georgia owe it to themselves and t
the memory of their fallen comrade
to use the full power of their ballo
to keep out of public office any II

THE BONUS IDEA.

New York World: The American Lee
gion, organized by soldiess of the great
war last year with many assurances that
it was to keep out of politics, is al
ready in negotiation with the Republican
steering committee of the national house
of representatives on the subject of bon
uses.
Owing to the state of public finances
and the desire of party leaders to make
a show of economy for campaign purpos-
es. representatives of the legion have
been promisd that the next congress viii
pass favorably upon the proposition,
whiih may call for billions and another
bond issue. With these assurances the
lobby of the legion is said to be well
satisfied. In legislation, as in trimming
for office. the recognition of a claim
ant is of prime Importance, after which
appropriations and nominations usually
follow one another in due course as a
vested right.
With politicians asking for nothing but
time, it should not be difficult to work
up among veterans an overpowering SEN
timent in favor of a gratuity which,
starting in a small way, is certain with
discussion and expectation to grow into
immense proportions. When by persist
ance in advocacy and by demagogic en-
couragement the legitimacy Of the de-
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1920-03-10

of timber is only thirty-six billion feet
There are three possible ways of bridg-
ing this gap: By reducing our consump-
ton of timber; by importing timber from
abroad: by growing more timber at
home
Much may be done to conserve our
supply by care in the use of wood and
by preventing forest devastation. The
present shortage is in part due to the
erroneous belief that I'VE have timber
enough to last the world forever"
In the process of logging, the brush
and slashings have too often been left
on the ground to become fire spreaders
that ruin any new growth. To cut and
use mature timber is right and necessary
but rHhlessly to devastate the forest is
wrong and needless.
Little can be hoped from importation.
All the industrial nations except the
| United States are importing timber. Our
only escape from serious shortage then
| lies, first, in enforcing rules to prevent
forest devastation: second, in reforest
| ing the devastated lands: third, in es-
tablishing regional organizations to re-
plant and guard the principal forest re-
gions.
Such a policy must be one of long
range, for grain can be grown and har-
vested in a single summer, but it takes
fifty years to raise a timber crop-Jour-
nal.
