Townley Fight Upheld by Legion.

A press dispatch from Newton,
Kan, says that the action of the
Salina post Of the American legion in
strongly opposing the spread of the
nonpartisan league movement in Kan
sas has been upheld by the executive
committee of the legion in that state
At meeting of this committee resolu-
lions were adopted denouncing A. c..
Townley, head of the league, who has
been holding meetings in Salina. The
resolutions adopted by the committee
follow:
whereas, A. c. Townley stands
convicted in one of the state courts
of Minnesota for acts of disloyalty

gagged in the world war, and when

ton, have been distributed by A. H..
Vernon, department commander, who
urges immediate action. Auxiliary
have been asked to send
similar letters to the congressman.
One of the most important meas
ures which the American legion is
seeking to have passed is a bill pro-
viding for adjusted compensation in
the form Of vocational training and
paid up insurance. Three Of the bills
contemplate the establishment Of hos
pitfalls for the care Of disabled service
men, one of them calling for on ap-
preparation Of s29, $4,000 and another:
$10,O00,000. Disabled national army
officers would receive the same dis
ability pay as those of the regular
army under the Stevenson bill. At
present they receive less than one
sixth as much. The legion also is
seeking law for the consolidation Of
the war risk, vocational training and
public health bureaus.

of a commission are those who have
profited in the past by some state ap-
pointment which was taken more in
the spirit of self-aggrandizement than
in doing anything for the good Of the
state. A casual look at the politicians
who are loudest for the commission
offers the explanation.
C. NJ. Babcock, father Of the Bah
cock highway plan, has shown HIM
self not only a big and capable man
in that particular line, but an honest
one as we'll, and we believe Governor
Preus will make a popular hit by dis
couraging the commission plan, even
lin the face of the action taken by the
Kiwanis club.
Mr.. Babcocll is the man to head the
whole works. With but one man il
charge there would be the place &c
hang all responsibility, and it would
at the same time eliminate the horde
of job-hunters that are locking upon
the Babcock millions as Legitimate
perquisites- they can succeed in get
ting their fingers into it.
Minnesota has it's opportunity to
get wor]d-beating highway system
through and it should not be balled ur
RI nnoko votes fo,. this ar that nO1i
tician, who always. gets what and as
much as he can regardless of whether
it is good for the state or not.
Try the one-man idea out first, anc
if it fails there will be time enough
to change the plan.-Hibbing Daily

Too Many Cooks Spoil the Broth.

100 Many LOOKS Op0ll yHe DIotH.
The Kiwanis club of this city has
placed itself on record as favoring a
to administer the Babcock
highway law as it relates to the con-
of hard-surfaced highways,
and we believe the club is on the
wrong track-which, however, does
not happen very often with that con-
servative and far-sceing body.
1t is possible the club acted without
giving the matter the serious consider
ton it should have, and it is indeed a
serious proposition-the spending of
millions of dollars in road building.
We may be trihe over-suspicious,
but to our mind it appears that the
commission plan is dangerous in that
it gives too much leeway for political
manipulation, which is characteristic
Of about every commission that has of
late had a being in the state. We
want and should have honest road
building instead Of political manipu-
lation at the expense Of the highways.

Senator Mcclellan of Tennessee as
sailed Great Britain's efforts to con-
troll the worlds oil supply and thus to
perpetuate her sea supremacy. Unless
the United States took immediate
steps to protect itself, he said, trade

Representatives Of the American
Farm Bureau federation expect to be
able to present plan for the orderly
marketing Of crops to the house COM

The committee Of II appointed by
President John R. Howard has been
making an investigation covering the
orderly marketing of agricultural
products. Its representatives ap-
peared before the house committee on
agriculture this week and most of
them favored legislation on the regu-
lation of grain exchanges and forbid

CONGRESSIONAL EPITOME.
Interesting Items From the Proceed
ings of the Men Who Repre-
sent Us in Washington.

The house committee has agreed to
report out the Siegel bill fixing the
membership Of the house at 493, an
increase of 48 over the present men,
bership. 1t also recommended con-
stitutional amendment limiting the
membership of future houses to 500.
The basis for the reapportionment was
fixed at one member for every 213,979
inhabitants. Under the bill the states
would gain as follows: Alabama, 1;
Arkansas, i; California, s; Connect
cut, 1; Georgia, 1; Illinois, 8; Mary
land, i; Massachusetts. z: Michigan,
4; Minnesota, 1; New Jersey, 2; New
Mexico, 1; New York, 4; North Caro-
lima, 2; Ohio, 4; Oklahoma, l.; Oregon,
/; Pennsylvania, 4; South Carolina, 1;
Tennessee, l; Texas, 2; Virginia, 1;
Washington, 1; West Virginia, 1; and
Wisconsin, /. No state would lose any
representation.
Drastic changes in the naturaliza-
ton law, especially as applying to
women, are provided in bill report
ed favorably by the house immigration
committee. The measure will take
the place of two naturalization bills
on the house calendar and an effort
will be made, according to Repre-
sentative johnson of Washington,
chairman of the committee, to have
congress approve it at this session.
Women under the bill no longer would
derive citizenship from the natural
ization of husbands, but would be re-
auired to make individual applications
for citizenship.

add 100000 to the 100000 appro-
priation included in the sundry civil
