THE SPIRIT OF THE LEGION

I am the American Legion, flesh
| and blood of Americas fighting
men, soul of those who sleep on
| Flanders Field and in the watery
depths of the heaving ocean.
/ am the American Legion. I am
the voice of four million men who
rallied to their country's flag when
it was menaced. 1 cherish and hold
sacred the memories of those STIR
ring days, the valorous deeds and
heroic sacrifices of the men in khaki
and blue.
I am the American Legion. With
ever watchful eyes I care for and
look after the needs and wants of
the manned and disabled veterans
of the Great War. With tenderness
and mercy I minister to them. With
u%nrelenting strength and power I
fight in the legislative halls of u
country for their welfare and hap
piness / turn the searchlight of
pittiless publicity on ineficiency and
unfairness toward the former SER
vice man.
l am the American Legion. I safe
guard those rights and principles
for which our warriors endured a
screaming hell in far-off lands for
which they gave unstintingly of
their warm life of blood. The con-
stitution Of u country I uphold
and will always defend.
/ am the American Legion. I am
strong with the strength of youth
and wise with wisdom of expert
ence In my ranks are c~arefree boys
and gray-haired men, millionaires
and paupers, statesmen and humble
folks, all banded together for a COM
mon cause.
I am the American Legion. The
great sturdy organization of veter-
ans upon whose far-lung member
ship the sun never sets. My outposts
are established in every land, in
every cline; my banner is unfurled
beside the Stars and Stripes where
ever Americans are gathered.
I am the American Legion.

Every great department of the state
must be handled by someone charged
with that particular duty. Where any
considerable amount of discretion is
accessory it is found to have been wise
o handle the matter through n board
appointed f) that purpose. Many illus
trations of the wisdom of this policy
can be found, starting with the presi-
Tents cabinet y the Interstate Commerce
Commission; the Railroad Labor Board !,
the Railroad Commission, etc. No one
has ever questioned the wisdom of the
,reation Of these boards. They are in
iispensible and they are the most
efficient means of handling the matters
in charge.
In a republic such as ours, the first
dea is to elect all persons charged with
4 public duty, but it is very apparent
that the election of each member of
these various boards would be cumber-
some and would result in choice of
men entirely untitled to the position.
The only proper means of selection is
by appointment. IT is ordinarily not
u difficult matter to select an honor
able, honest and efficient president or
governor, but it would be very diff
cult matter to select by political elec-
.ion honorable honest and efficient
board members to exercise the duties

which are required under any state

Would Ee Appointive


In this act the people are safe guard
ed in the appointment of this board
just as fully as safe guards are known
at this time. First the governor is
directed to appoint the members of this
having in mind the geographic situation
ind each to be fairly representative of
the people. If any member of the
board is inefficient or corrupt the legis-
lature1 has the power to remove him
and lastly the member is subject to
recall by the people. The governor
would not dare appoint inefficient or
corrupt politicians OH this board. If
be did the legislature would remove him
and both failing, the people could ex-
erctse the right of recall.
Tfe salaries fixed are small-perhaps
too small. The tendency in our public
service is to under pay the employees.
Here by constitutional amendment we
provide tlrat the salary OF the chairs
man is $4,000 Il year and cannot be
lowered, but may be increased by the
legislature. That is valuable safe
guard against lowering the salaries so
as to only be able to get inefficient men
in mind the nature of the public service
u salary of $4,000 year will attract
the ablest of men. We are advised
that William Mulholand of the city Of
Los Angeles, receives that salary and

Can Defeat Machine
Power company propaganda raises the
cry that the appointment of this board
will create vast political machine.
This is true. Undoubtedly the president
Of the United States surrounded by his
cabinet and "a multitude of appointive
offices er-undoubtedly the
governor of the state with the various
boards and commissions and with tins
board with its multitude of employees
will be much more strongly intrenched
| in office than anyone not so surround
ed. However, this state has perhaps
as many boards and commissions as
| any Of the states considering its size
and wealth, but it. seemed to be per-
fectly easy to defeat the governor at
| the last election when the people de-
cided that the state was not run as
economically as it should be run The
political machine which the governor
| had built up seemed to have very little
effect. This bill adds somewhat TO
that machine, but | would prefer a
political machine with the governor
at its head with the power Of removal

and the power Of recall in the people
