Sc Elk PASSAGE
Of EXEMPT!ON
Wagon Mound Post Appeals
for Support of Property
mption Amendment
for Service Men.

An appeal to voters for the
passage of the fourth amendment
giving exemption on property
values to former service men or
their wido-vs has been expressed
in a resolution passed by the Glen
r. Kendrick post No. 81 Of the
American legion at Wagon Mound,
n. M.
The resolution follows:
Whereas, it appeared in the
Albuquerque Morning Journal, UNI
der date of Monday, September IL,
1921, under their heading of re-
commentators to the voters of
this state, that amendment number
four, entitled exemption of $4,000
upon the valuation of the property,
of every eX-service man or his
widow, and which amendment we
find is opposed by many of the
legal voters of this state.
Whereas, it is the only relief thai
has been offered by this state TO
the ex-serVice men since their re-
turn from the service in the de-
Tense of their country during the
great worlds war, where mauy
were ordered to render service an
leave their employments and uusl-
ness which would have meant more
to them, and which was a greater
loss than can ever be repaid them
by this great state, while many
others remained in their vacations
and harvested the rewards in their
homes.
Whereas, we find that many
contend that the eX-service mea
who have the property that would
come under this exemption, do
not need it, we feel that those that
have such contention should be
willing 10 repay for the losses that
we sustained while in the service
of our country.
Whereas, we will ask the public
to remember the promises that
were offered us when we were
marched to the trains to depart for
the various camps, in which the
citizens would approach us and say
"You boys want to fight praveiS'
and upon your return from the de-
tense of your country, you may
have anything that you ask Tor
within the gift of the American
public" which we feel should not
be forgotten by the good citizens
of this state, now that we have re-
turned to our places of abode.
Whereas, we feel upon the pass
age of this amendment that the ex-
service men or their widows SHAH
have the benefit of this exemption
and we feel that should this
amendment fail at this time, that
there will not be any further re-
lief in sight for the ex-service men
in the future. although this amend
ment might not relieve the needs
of all ex-service men, it will pave
the way for further reliefs for an
of us. which might befall in the
hands of our future legislatures.
Now, therefore, be it resolved oy
Glenn r. Kendrick post No. 81:
that we appeal to all the legal
voters of this state to overdue the
policy of the Albuquerque Morning
Journal and all others VINO OPP
pose this amendment for the relief
Of the ex-service men, and we also
appeal to all those who believe tnat
we are asking for our just rights
to work for the passage of TINS
amendment, and that we be eX-
tended the same glad hand that
was given us when we departed IN
the defense of our country.
Be it further resolved, that
copy of this resolution be spread
upon our records and copies be sent
to the leading papers for publicity
The above resolution adopted ~
a regular meeting of Glenn X.
