United States has been more liberal
than any other nation in its provisions
for the disabled soldiers, but that it has
failed in large measure to make these
provisions available in spite of the
benefit of the experience of other
nations in the recent war and the eX-
perience of this nation in previous
wars.
'In the rehabilitation of disabled
man there are three needs-medical
treatment, vocational training and
financial support" the memorial
states. "The government has recos.
niZed the three needs, but Overlooks
the fact that they are the simultane-
Gus needs of one man, not of three
different men or of one man at three
different times. 1t makes three prob
lens out of what really is one problem.
Continuing this faulty conception,
1t has given the problem over to three
agencies. All, by force of circumStan-
ceS, are exercising functions they were
not intended to exercise. This pre-
sents an amazing spectacle of admin
istrative chaos duplication, wasted en-
ergy and conflict. which is the key
to the present condition.
THE result is the suffering of the
disabled veterans. Thousands are
waiting and have waited for months
fer compensation for their injuries.

has presented to President Wilson,
Presdent-elect Harding, and to all
members of congress. Probably never
before in the history of the country
has such an army Of orators been
modified to speak at the same time
upon single text.
The Legion aims to present to the
people of the United States the facts
regarding the disabled in the same
language as they We're presented to
the officials of the government. The
Legon's memorial was carried to the
President at the White House by John
Thomas Taylor, vice chairman of the
Legion National Legislative commit
tee. National Commander f. w. Gal
braith, Jr., gave it to Senator Harding
at Marion, where he had long and
important conference on the disabled
situation with the next President.
The Legion denounces the present
method of caring for the disabled as
failure" which only can be rem
edied by the entire reconstruction of
the federal machinery dealing with
lIle pIODlcul
The functions of the three agencies,
which deal with the problems of the
disabled, the bureau of war risk in
surance, the federal board for voca-
tional education, and the United
States public health service, "must be
co-ordinated, their machinery decen-
tralzed and all three placed under
common CONTROL" the memorial states
AS an equally essential remedy for
existing conditions, the memorial
urges the immediate appropriation for
the use of the unified organization
of sum ample to build or rent a
sufficient number of hospitals to take
care of the 10000 eX-service men who
are unable to receive treatment at
present because of lack of beds and
shelter.
The failure" Of the government to
afford justice to the sick and wounded
veterans is attributed by the Legion
to IAN astonishing state of divided re-
sponsibility and wasted effort among
the government agencies with which
the problem rests"
The break in the chain of RESPONSE
bility occurs, according to the me-
mortal, as result of the fact that

USE THE CANOE.

Referring to conversation recently
In regard to the neglected OppOr-
tunities for outings by canoe upon
streams and lakes reached by the
Oregon Short Line:
One of my first impressions upon
taking residence in this section of
the country, was the utter neglect of
this delightful means Of recreation.
In the Adriondacks, in Maine, on the
rivers and lakes in Canada, in the
Pacific Northwest, at resorts through
out the country, one finds the canoe
in use in great numbers. 1t is a
light, easily transported, sturdy craft
of considerable carrying capacity
and at the same time of very shallow
draft so that it will go, as someone
has expressed it, wherever It is
damp" 1t has been well called, be-
cause of its low cost, the poor mans
yacht.
There is a common impression that
the canoe is unstable and dangerous.
While it is true that this craft can
be capsized more easily than row
boat, and might for this reason be
considered dangerous in the hands of
a novice on very swift stream, the
general use of the canoe by thous-
ands of devotees throughout the
country is sufficient testimonial of
its staunchness. AS matter of
fact, the canoe can, with success,
negotiate water in which no other
craft could live.
A more general use of the canoe
upon the waters contiguous to the
Oregon Short Line would add greatly
TO the enjoyment of sportsmen and
pleasure seekers in general Par
t1cularly, it would add to the catch
or fishermen, who could reach in
ease and comfort water inaccessi BILE
to the sportsman depending upon
waders.
1t has been my experience that
boats Of every kind are seldom, if
ever, available, and it seems to me
that sportsmen are overlooking a
good bet in the canoe.
The light weight of this craft per-
mlts OF it's ready transportation by
express to the destination, as is done
throughout the country. By means
OF this convenient form of transport
tation long water trips are made
available, the outfit being transport
ed by rail to head-water and re-ship-
ped home again by rail from a con-
venient point of debarkation many
miles down stream, according to the
convenience of the pleasure seeker.
A portage or two enroute may be en-
countered, but that is part of the
game of river cruising, and If the
route is we'll chosen, does not de-
tract from the pleasure of a trip of
this kind.
Yours for greater enjoyment of the
outdoors.

MINERS TO JOIN
IN SOLID FRONT
ANTHRACITE AID BITUMINOUS
FORCES ALLIED.
Believed That Five Hundred Thou
sand VIII Be Consolidated Under
New Arrangement.

New York, May 1.-THE anthra-
cite mine workers Will join forces
with the bituminous miners in for
mulating policies which will govern
the negotiation of wage agreements
with the coal operators, to take the
place of The present contracts which
expire March 81, 1922.
This action which will consolidate
the ranks of 100000 organized min
ers Of the country so that they will
present a solid front. to the coal
operators was decided upon today at
a conference between international
officers of the United Mine Workers
of America and the president and
international board members of the
three union districts comprising the
anthracite coal region. The confer
cnce decided that the anthracite tri-
district convention which is usually
held in August to draw up the new
wage demands, should be postponed
until after the international conven-
ton of the United Nine Workers
which opens at indianapolis, Septem-
Der 20. At this international gath
cring the bituminous workers frame
their wage prop osals.
John L. Lewis, international presl-
dent of the United Mine Workers,
explained that under this agreement
the Indianapolis convention would
frame policies that would govern
both factions of miners in their wage
negotiations and the extent and
method of their cooperation. lie said
a date would be fixed after the in
ternational convention for the tri-
district meeting at which time the
anthracite would complete their de-
mands. Officers of the anthracite
miners pointed out that under the
new plan which originated with the
international officers Of the mine
workers union, the bituminous min
ers would "set the pace in the wage
negotiations instead Of the hard coal
workers as in the past, when their
convention preceded the national
meeting.

CHEMISTS OFFER
PROHIBITION VIEW
EXISTING VOLSTEAD LAW
SHOULD BE CLARIFIED
Denatured Article Should be Ex-
empt From Legislation
Witnesses Say

Washington, May 17.-Representa-
tives of chemists who appeared before
the house judiciary committee today
to give their views concerning the bill
to further strengthen the Volstead
law, particularly as to the sale of
medical beer, protested vigorously
against legislation which they said
tended to restrict the legitimate use
of alcohol in industry.
Existing law, they contended,
should be clarified to prevent unWar-
ranted government interference, and
new legislation, aimed at tighter en-
forcement of the prohibition amend
ment, should specifically exempt from
legislation denatured alcohol, which,
it was pointed out, cannot be used for
beverage purposes.
NJ. C. Whitaker, New York, pres
ident of the United States Chemical
company, declared there was con-
tinual tendency on the part of the
prohibition advocates to encroach on
legitimate industry, and to stigma
tie reputable chemical concerns by
placing their products in a class with
"booze."
Asserting that manufacturers of
many chemical products had to en-
ploy high class specialists, Mr.. Whit
taker said it was impossible to hold
them if they were ''put in the same
class with bootleggers."
Charles of the witness that the pro-
hibition law in some instances has
been interpreted to the detriment of
the chemical industry caused Chair
man Volstead to challenge his re-
marks. Mr. Volstead declared that if
iniustices were being inflicted, steps
would be taken to remedy defects in
the law. He asserted, however, that
many of the complaints against the
prohibition law were not justified.
Mr.. Whittaked declared that there
was Joker in the bill before the COM.
mittee that would levy tax on dena-
tured alcohol, the manufacture of
which, he held, should be encouraged
s. national preparedness move.
Similar contentious were expressed
by Charles L. Parsons, Washington
secretary of the American Chemical
society, and two other representa-
tives of the organization, Martin IT.
ner, New York, and Frank R. Eldred,
indianapolis.
