C0NGRESSMEN FORM BODY

 rious Wars.

The old spirit of the A. E. F. and of Americas wartime army, navy and marine corps broke out in the halls of the nations congress in Washing ton the other day, when veterans of the World war who are members of congress, joined by members who served in the Civil and Spanish h-Amer- lean wars, held a big meeting and a regular feed at the University club and formed "The Veterans Associa tiOn of the SiXty-seventh Congress-"
 Two members of the United States senate and 32 members of the house of representatives attended the dinner gathering which resulted in the organ ization of the congressional veterans into body. Twenty-siX of the mem- bers of the house of representatives in attendance were veterans of the World war and members of the American Le- zion. Representative Henry 2. Os- borne of the Tenth California district, veteran of the Civil war. acted as toastmaster. He felicitated the coun- try upon the formation of rhe Ameri- can Legion, saying that the "vets of '61" were willing and proud to turn the rein of patriotic endeavor over to the boys of IT."
 In addition to choosing Congress man Roy G. Fitzgerald of Ohio. pres ident of the association, and Congress- man John F. Rankin of Mississippi as secretary, and getting away with an elaborate course dinner billed in the still familiar doughboy French of lover there" the congressional vet erans listened to careful explanation of the legislative program of the Amer ican Legion in congress made by John Thomas Taylor, vice chairman of the national legislative committee of the Legion, who was a special guest of honor and the only person present not member of congress. Mfr Taylor went into detailed advocacy of the consolidation, vocational training, hos pitalization and emergency officer re- tirement bills proposed by the Legion.

LEGION FLAG ADDS HISTORY
Ex.Ssrvice Mems Emblem Now Proud. Iy Floats Where Five Others
 Held Sway.

The American Legion flag will fly in a part of New Orleans that has been under five flags, for the city administration has turned over a building in the heart of the old French quarter to posts of the Legion for four years.
 Not far from the Legion building is the Spanish Cabildo where the Spanish colors flew in the breezes from the Gulf of Mexico until they were re- placed by the French. The Louisiana Purchase in 1894 resulted In the ap- pearance of the Stars and Stripes on the ramparts. In 1872, the British flag flew also in that vicinity for few days. During the Civil war the Con- federate cOlOrs waved proudly over the southern city. When the wounds of civil strife were healed the Stars and Stripes again reappeared.
 The Legion building will have an auditorium. offices and clubroOms. It will also house. Louisiana department headquarters, the Legion employment and service bureau, local posts. the Women's Auxiliary headquarters and the Pelicanaire, official organ of the Louisiana department.

There was no discussion.
Three proposals of reductions in
rate proposals, carrying reductions in
the taxes on individuals having moder-
ate incomes, were voted down yesterday
by the senate by overwhelming major
tiles. Discussion of them led to hot
political fight, which eliminated in an
announcement by Senator Penrose of
Pennsylvania, in charge of the tax re-
vision bill, that on Wednesday there
would be submitted a resolution calling
for continuous 24-hoW sessions of the
senate until the revenue measure finally
was disposed of
The first tax amendment defeated
today was that by Senator Gerry, Demo
crat of RhoGe Island, proposing that the
normal tax rates be per cent, on the
first 5000 of income; 4 per cent on the
second $1,000; q per cent on the third
S5, 600 and per cent on all over $4,000.
The vote was 46 to %.
The second amendment was by Senator
Harris, Democrat, of Georgia, proposing
that the rate on the first 5000 of
learned income as distinguished from
unearned - income be A per cent and
rate on the second 81 900 per cent, with
the rate on all over that S percent The
vote was 35 to y. two Republicans,
Borah and La Toilette, joining with the
solid Democratic minority in supporting
the amendment.
The third roll-call was on an amend
ment by Senator Walsh, Democrat, of
Massachusetts, proposing a 3 per cent
rate on the first 5000 of income and a
6 per cent rate on the second $1,000
This was defeated, 30 to u, one Re-
publican, La Toilette, supporting it.
