LEGION COMMANDER
FAV0RS PLANTING OF
TREES As MEMORIAL

Raymond Mather. commander Of
Harry Ray post OF the American
legion, was asked, Wednesday, what he
thought OF the proposed planting Of
trees along our national highways, as
living memorial to the soldiers. san
ors and marines who served during
the world war.
I'm strong for it, was the way he
expressed himself.
"It is very easy for people Of coun-
try to forget those who went to war.
Planting of trees along the highways
will serve a double purpose. First, 1t
will keep fresh in the peoples minds
the service and sacrifice rendered by
the American soldiers, and second, 1t
will beautify the roads, making them
beautiful boulevards
Mentions French Highways.
"I have gone for miles along French
highways, with trees arched over the
roads. 1t was a most beautiful sight.
Some of those roads were built by
Caesar. I think the planting Of trees
along our highways would be a fine
thing"
Mr. Mather's remarks indicated that
he believed nothing better could be
done in honor of Americas ex-service
men.
Commend Proposal.
Commentator of the proposal con-
tinued to pour in from many quarters.
Postmaster General Hays says:
The plan to plant memorial trees
along our national highways. a tree
marked for each American soldier who
served in the world war, is fine, and
ought to be countrywide in its adop-
ton. I understand the trees to be
planted will be for the most part the
cak and the fir, both sturdy and long
lived. These are symbolic Of the
growth and strength Of our affection
and admiration for the sacrifices made
nv our brave boys in that great con-
f'ict for liberty
Minnesota Plants Trees.
William T. Cox. state forester at St.
Paul. Mimi. states:
minnesota has already planted
1000 trees in honor Of her soldier
dead along highways, park and school
grounds. You can depend on us>for
cooperation"
1t is significant that no matter how
much tree planting state or com
mlnitv has done for soldiers or to
heautifv surroundings. or how recent
ly the work was finished. not one indi-
vidual or organization has said. I'VE
did enough" or I'VE did our share
again. so that rot bv any chance will
they be left out of the great work OF
making Americas memory roads.

WASHINGTON. April 27. - The
third week Of the extra session of
congress finds the lawmakers making
satisfactory progress with the pro-
gram Of legislature dictated by the
American people at the polls last
November
Several of the important measures
which congress expects to dispose of
during it's summer session are already
under consideration.
The Knox peace resolution has just
been reported to the senate. The i'm
migration bill and the emergency tar.
if act will be through the house be-
fore the end Of this week. Investiga.
tion Of the railroad problem has been
authorized. Tax revision is on the
stocks, and the merchant marine act
will be reported soon.
All of the important committees of
both houses have been actively en-
gagged in the consideration of impend-
ing legislation since the beginning of
the session. Conferences have never
before been so numerous or so open
1t is said.
Interested in Taxes.
Indiana people appear to be particu-
larly interested in the question of tax
revision. Much of the bulky cores
pondence received by Indiana con-
gressmen concerns that question
There is sharp division of opinion
on the part of these correspondents
as to whether any tax revision pro-
gram should include the proposed
sales tax The majority of Indiana
people who have communicated with
their congressman are opposed to it.
Not long ago civic organization in
one of the towns in my district held
a meeting for the purpose Of advising
me, by the drafting of a resolution,
as to how the business men of that
community would expect me to vote
on the question of a sales tax. The
