THE AMERICAN LEGION

Preamble of the National constitu- tion, adopted at Minneapolis, Minn., i Nov. 10, 1919:
 For God and Country, we associ- ate ourselves together for the fol- lowing purposes:
 ITO uphold and defend the Consti- tuition of the United States of Amer iea; to maintain law and order; to ! preserve the memories and incidents of our association in the Great War; to inculcate a sense of individual ob- igation to the community, state and nation; 10 combat the autocracy of both the classes and masses; to make right the master of might; to pro- mote peace and good will on earth; to safeguard and transmit to poster fly the principles of justice, freedom and democracy; 10 consecrate and sanctify our comradeship by our de- votion to mutual helpfulness.
 This masterpiece speaks for itself: 1t does not need any explanation. It tells the greatness and the devotion of this powerful organization; it's clearness and sanctity embody in itself more inspiration to any citizen of this country than any other writ ing known to date.
 The wonderful achievements of this association has already created deep sense of admiration among those who are following it, step by step, by reading its organ. The American Le- zion Weekly.
 While most of it's posts are blow. ing steadily ahead, some few. like Prescott, are asleep if not dead. What ! is the reason for it, if any. besides the lack of leadership?
 Comrades let Us wake up and re- organize our forces. We have special good material here for chance of success. Our country is entitled to ask that much from us Our very community. so proud of jt; boys, expects that every one of them like on the day we declared war on the enemy of our homes, will do his duty.
 Our younger brothers who so snor- taneously responded to the call of the National Guards, are looking to us for moral help and enthusiasn, Shall We now let that nice companv Tn such wonderful way of organizs- tion, fall down to pieces as we lot our post do?

NO RAIL STRIKE NOW.
BUT-SAYS COMPERS
Sees Future Trouble IF Board
Continues Cutting.

WAsHrNcroN, Oct. 2s.--The only COM
ment on the strike situation from labor
circles here came from Samuel Gonpers.
president of the American Federation of
Labor. who declared the spirit among
yailroad men to-day Is one of resent
ment"
The railroad strike will not take
place-now." Mr.. Gompers said. but II
the Railroad Labor Board goes on cut
ting down wages and working condi-
uons. the present American railroad
labor organizations--which are the most
reasonable In the world--will be sue
cecded by organizations which will
voice the sentiment OF the dissatisfied.
the restless and the discontented.
Mr.. Gompers emphasized his opinion
that the establishment by the Esch-
Cummins law of the Labor Board was
an error In Governmental policy.
Tho board says II has 1900 cases on
its docket now" he said, "and nothing
could be greater indictment of the law.
1t has made representatives OF employer
and employee in the railroad world liti-
gants, bound to put the most extreme
force into all of their demands, and 10
yield nothing.
There has never been n case any
where where the Government has set
up such a tribunal to treat with labor
matters that 1t has not resulted In mud
ding everything up. The Governments
position has always come TO one OF
cpercing labor. or threatening with jai
and rjunction men who consider strik-
ing."

DIXIE KINDER CRITIC
OF HARDING SPEECH
Most of the UnfavOrable Com

in North.

New York Herald Bureau.
Washington. ID. C., Oct. 20.
The White House Is being deluged
with expressions of opinion for and
against the Presidents address in Bir-
mingham on the race question in the
United States.
The President Is well pleased with the
effect of his speech and its reception by
political men in the South. In talking
with newspaper correspondents who ac-
companied him on the trip, the Presiien;
indicated that while he did not believe
the South is ready for any Immediate
action on the race problem as he out
lined A.. he does believe II will be effec-
tive and will work practical and ultimate
good The President regards the speech
as not only well worth while, but be-
lieves IL was his duty to make 1t and
10 give his convictions and whatever
contribution it may be to settlement OF
the question.
President Harding holds the view that
it Is not fair to the South figuratively
to pat the Southern people upon the
BACK and aNOlQ Tic qucSNfOto WIN WiiSti
they have to deal. He has an earnest
conviction that the South has been sur
feited with this.
It Is q peculiar analogy that most OF
the favorable comment on the speech
is coming from the South and large
share of the unfavorable comment from
the North. Radicals on both sides of
the issue are displeased.
Leaders In the Republican party are
not a unit upon the subject. There are
MANY who believe the race Issue and
Republican votes in the South should
he left alone. They are of the school
which does not believe that dangerous
things should be stirred up. The Presi-
dent Is determined. however. to meet
the issue for the good of the South.
which he told audiences In several
Southern States was the good of the
nation.
A summary OF the general reflex OF the
speech shows It was better received In
Dixie than many Republican politicians
believed would be the case. Prominent
citizens in every community visited by
the President after the Birmingham
speech was delivered took occasion to
tell the President that they stood with
him and pledged their aid to . practical
settlement OF .h9 problem.

to increase the present maximum rate

estate over fifteen million dollars TO

Senator Walsh (Mass.). then proposed
that there be tax Of Is per cent. on
the transfer OF tax-free securities III
an estate. with an exemption of $780,
900 of such securities. He said this
would test the sincerity OF Senators
who had expressed the wish that the
Government could obtain some tax from
this class OF securities. The Walsh
ar epdment led to another Ions fight.
Republican leaders sent word To
President Harding during the day that
the tax bisi would be passed by to-
morrow night. but many Senators on
tcth the majority and minority sides
declared this hope could not be re-
allied.
walsh Sees Inconsistency.
In offering his amendment for q
graduated tax on corporations immedi-
ateIy after the Senate convened, SEN
ator Walsh declared the Republicans
could not defend their proposal to re-
duce the tax on excess profit-makhiS
,.crporat tions and at the same time in
crease the tax on more than 100000
corporations making only modest
Profits"
Majority leaders followed the Mas
sachusetts Senator closely, and before
he finished began comforting with
view to working out some sort Of
plan which. they explained later, would
enable the Senate and House conferees
to draw UP schedule that would pre-
vent "the injustice" complained OF by
Senator Walsh.
These conferences continued on the
floor while Senator Frelinghuysen (N.

bill as "a political and not scientific

The Walsh amendment to levy q sre-
cial tax on the transfer or tax exempt
securities of $4,000 was rejected with
out a record vote. 1t was opposed By
several Democrats as we'll as Republi-
