The converting of an Americanism
conference in every state, followed by
the assembling of a national congress,
to be attended by A~mericanism direc-
tors, and representatives Of schools, in
dustries, and various civic and patri-
otto societies is on the program of the
Americanism commission of the Amer
lean Legion for 1921. The Legion's
plan was formed as a result of an
Amerlcanism conference in Massachu-
sets, which was held under the aus
pices of the Bay State Legionnaires.
To provide funds for the mainten-
ance of a Salvation Army hosiery for
unemployed veterans, the American
Legion in st. Paul, Mimi, the World
War Veterans and the St. Paul Trades
and Labor Assembly will unite in the
production of a benefit entertainment.
The Legion's decision to cooperate
with the union members was made at
a post meeting addressed by a promi-
nent Minnesota labor official.
Unified action in bringing about bet
ter conditions for disabled of the
Southwest was insured at a meeting of
post commanders and adjutants of the
Arkansas, Colorado, Texas and Okla
homt departments of the American
Legion at Dallas, Texas. The south
western conference was established as
an annual affair, the next meeting to
Ike place at Oklahoma City, Okla. DR..
Guw o.. Shirley, commander of the Tex
as department, was elected permanent
chairman of the organization. Among
the speakers at the convention was
Russell g.. Creviston, assistant national
adjutant.
American Legion members, scatter.
ed over the world, continue to band to-
gether. The latest application for in
formation in regard to establishing a
foreign post came from the island of
Ceylon where two members of Akron,
o. Post have decided to organize the
ex-service wanderers. The nearest
posts to Ceylon are located at Singa-
pore and Yokohama, more than a two
weeks jurney away.
A fighting captain quoted scrip
ture to the members of the Missouri
legislature in behalf of a boxing bill
which the American Legion is pushing
in that state. The quotation which
was made by the Rev. Earl A. Black

ter of Corinthians. 1t is: 81 am a

AN OBJECT LESSON.

fDes Moines is affording an object
lines and other businesses who en-
deavor to obtain a profit on a failing
business by increasing rates for serv-
ice. The street railway of the Iowa
capital had its troubles with the city
government for many years but the
pickering became acute last year when
electric buses were introduced and
sanctioned by the city authorities
against the protests of the trolley
company
Early this year the company went
into the hands of a receiver, who
asked the fedegal court for permission
to raise the rate Of fare to cents and
obtained the right. The motor buses
kept their fares down to cents and
the Finish" of the trolley system
came when, by order of the court,
operation of the lines ceased as no
way was evident to end a deficit of
from $4,000 to $4,000 a month.
To accord with the view of the
managers of the steam railroads of
this country fares should have been
placed higher and higher until the
business of the trolley line was made
to pay, but apparently the court did
not take that view of the matter.
Motor cars are taking the place OF
the steam cars all over the country,
just as they have taken the place CT
the trolley in Des Moines. The people
are refusing to pay the excessive fares.
But if some of the steam roads should
be stopped or placed in the hands of
receiver, probably the management
never would admit that such action
was due to the fact that prices for
Fservice were higher than the traffic
would bear.
Comparing with the year 1916
says the Railway Age, 1.-THE average
advance in passenger rates, including
the surtax on sleeping car tickets, has
been So per cent. It is more than this
for persons riding in sleeping cars,
but this is the advance for all classes
of passengers"
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1921-08-12

The issuance of permits this week
for the erection of three new dwelling
houses is encouraging as an evidence
that a revival of building has begun.
There was a time, before the United
States entered the-war, when Topeka
was building houses at the average
rate of one a day and without creating
a surplus. This rate could be re-
sumed and maintained for a long
time without creating an oyersupply.
1t is even probable that the increase
in population would warrant the
maintenance of such a rate of con-
struction indefinitely. If costs of
building have reached a point where
one man feels that he can build
houses at profit it is not unlikely
that others will speedily reach a sim
liar conclusion. There has been a
big decline in the cost Of lumber and
hardware. Building sites can be pur-
chased about as reasonably as at any
time in the past five years. More
houses will bring lower rents and low
er rents will enable mechanics to ac-
cept a reduction in wages. which in
turn would still further stimulate
building.
