MERICAN LEGION
AND c. A. R. JOIN IN
HONOR To j. s. GRANT

Plans are now being made by the
G. A. r., and the American Legion
to hold centennial celebration on
April 27, which date marks the one
hundredth birthday of General Ulys-
ses S. Grant. Under plans which
have been agreed upon by the two
organizations. the Legion will assist
in every way possible the Grand
Army in those communities in which
both organizations are represented.
Where there is only a Legion post,
the program of exercises will be car
ried out by the world war veterans
alone.
At the fifty-fifth national en-
campment of the Grand Army of the
Republic. held at Indianapolis, Sept
26, 1921, it was decided by this or
ganization to observe the centenary
Of the birth of General Grant An
invitation by the G. A. r. to the
American Legion to join in COM
memorative exercises on this occa-
sion was accepted and the aid of the
ex-service men of the World war was
given to the Grand Army.
Through plans announced, the
schools will be visited by a delega-
tion of both Civil and World war
veterans. This plan has been car
rleQ out IN the past by the Grand
Army members but this year will
mark the first time that the Legion
men have undertaken this work
In addition to the two units of for
nner service men, many civic. frater-
nal and patriotic organizations have
written to the national headquarters
of both the Grand Army and the Le-
gion asking that places be reserved
for them on the community programs.
Efforts to bring into the exercises
practically all of these organizations
will be made in an endeayor TO make
the day success.
The 1900 posts of the Legion
have been furnished with instructions
which will govern the parts they will
take in the centenary. This was done
with the view of making the program
in various parts of the country as
uniform as possible.
Announcement of the program for
the celebration to be held in Phoenix
by the G.. A. r. post and the Frank
Luke, Jr., post of the American Le-
gion, which is now being prepared,
will be made later. The program will
be along the lines advanced by the
headquarters of the two organiza-
tions.
Announcement also has been made
that the American Legion will cele-
brate the birth of General Robert E.
Lee, which comes January 10, 1928.
Although the date is a long way off,
plans are now being made by the
Legion to hold the celebration.

RATE ASSOCIATION
IS A. |. c. AGENT

Arrangements whereby the Arizona
branch of the intermediate Rate as
sociation enters the Arizona Indus
trial Congress to act as the latter's
agency in taking up rate adjustments
were announced yesterday at the Of
fices OF the congress here. While re-
tanning its present officers, staff and
office, the association will be known
as the Rate Association Of the Ari-
zona Industrial Congress and act as
part Of the statewide organization in
traffic matters.
The plan to make the rate associa-
ton a part of the congress was pro-
posed so that communities and ship
pers of the state who have no con-
nection with any agency which might
act for them in rate matters could
take up their various problems with
the railroads through a central agen-
ey operating as part of the congress.
The effect will be that the smaller
communities of the state in future
will have a traffic service equal to
that enjoyed by the larger places
which maintain traffic bureaus or
connections with such agencies.
In announcing the new arrange
ment, officials of the Industrial Con-
gress emphasized that the rate asso-
citation will not be used for any gem
eral undiscriminatory rate fight. but
rather to obtain fair and proper adj
justments of rates in specific cases.
This win be done generally by taking
the matter up with the railroads di-
rect and asking their cooperation.
Arrangements for a traffic service
available to all shippers of the state
are in line with the activities of the
Industrial Congress in its work to as
sist all interests of the state BY bring
ing about their cooperation to meet,
general problems.
