RELIEF is PLANNED
indianapolis Session Favors Census OF
Disabled Ex- service Men.

Given over almost wholly to the con-
sideration of ways and means Of clear
ing up the disabled soldiers problem,
the meeting here Of officials of the
American Legion came to an end with
seven outstanding resolutions, as fol-
'ows, relates an indianapolis, Ind, dis
patch.
To take a nation wide census of all
former soldiers, to establish a rotating
loan fund, to decentraliZe the United
States Veterans Bureau and establish
a Legion organization which would CO.
operate closely with the bureau, to inn
medately adjust long-pending claims
of former soldiers, to make compulsory
the immediate admission to hospitals
of any supposed veteran regard 'ess o.
his ability to show discharge papers, TO
discharge from hospitals any official
who is not rendering efficient service,
to push through the adjusted compen-
sation bill now pending in congress.
The fighting spirit cropped up when
Charles r. Forbes. director of the Vet
erans' Bureau, asked the delegates II
they wished to ask any questions. In
stantly several men were on their feet.
Case after case of the neglect of dis
abled men had been cited in n previous
session. Director Forbes promised to
name a board of appeal for each of the
fourteen regional districts, which
would be the final adjudication bodies
in their respective territories.
Hanford MacNider, commander OF
the Legion. restated the organizations
policy on the adjusted compensation
issue, declaring that the Legion will
not attempt to suggest to the govern
ment the method OF raising the money.

CRITICS MUST PAY

After Them Who Are After Him.
Signed letters criticising a sermon
delivered Sunday by Rev. ]. w. Ham,
pastor of the Baptist Tabernacle, In
which Mr.. Ham demanded the death
penalty for Frank B. DuPre, who killed

diately after the robbery Of the Nat
Kaiser jewelry store, are turned over

CATION as to whether or not the writer's
are duly qualified citizens to the ex-
tent of paying taxes, 1t was learned on
Thursday, relates the Atlanta journal.
Mr.. Ham told Journal reporter that
it has been his policy for several years
to follow this course in the case or
letters Of criticism. Anonymous letters
of criticism are thrown into the waste
basket, he said.
'If a person criticises me over his
own signature, he Is thereby assuming
a. prerogative Of citizenship, and IN
tend to see that he ALSO assumes the
responsibility Of citizenship, at least to
the 'xtent Of paying taxes" Mr.. Ham
dec... ed. II am a taxpayer myself
and I demand that a man who criti-
cizes my public utterances on public
questions also shall pay taxes II he Is
going to stay in Atlanta.
when l get letter that Is signed
and which criticizes me, take 1t to
the city marshars office and find out
whether or not the writer is tax
payer. If he Is not, then 1 demand, as
a citizen, that he be made to pay taxes.
'If man would criticize me. he must
pay for that right 1t is his right to do
so, but I shall in all cases insist that
he pay for it, just as l. as taxpayer,
pay for the right to speak my honest
convictions"
Deputy Marshal Steve Glass, who is
a deacon in Mr.. Hams church, dis
cussed the matter with Journal re-
porter over the telephone Thursday
morning.
Sure! I got letters from Mr.. Ham
giving me names Of folks to look up in
the matter of paying taxes. And we
find quite a number Of tax dodgers
that way, too. We are always glad to
get names of tax dodgers from Mr..
Ham, or anybody else. I'll be glad to
get a list of names from you, If you
can give them to me, and il anybody
else wants to furnish us names Of peo-
pie who are not paying taxes. We'll re-
ceive them gladly

tabulation lists about 40 different oc-
cunofiona IN rnop,,fa cturino and tho

tabulation lists about 40 different oc-
cupations in manufacturing and the
mechanical industries. The highest
average number Of children living per
family Is found among furnacemen,
smeltermen, heaters and pourers, who
perspire to maintain an average of 3.4
children per family.
Electricians and engravers are found
to be the least prolific men in the
manufacturing industries, averaging
only 81 children livirg per family.
The. great majority Of the types Of
workers in factories have less than
three children living on an average.
Comparing these with the profess
sionals we find that clergymen are the
only professional class having an aver
age of three living children. Archi-
tects, artists and sculptors have two.
Musicians, photographers, 'doctors.
teachers and writer's are in the same
class with an average Of but 81 chill
dren per family. Actors, chemists,
dentists, inventors and engineers all
average slightly less than two living
children per family.
Thus 1t would seem that the diff
ference in size of families between
wage workers and professionals Is not
nearly as large as has been assumed,
and that families Of more than three
or four children must be rare every
where in the United States.
1t Is also commonly asserted that
among working people many more
children are born to die than among
the we'll do, but this Is also hard to
substantiate from the figures. II Is
true that the. discrepancy between
number OF children born and number
living Is slightly larger among labor
ers, stevedores and loom -fxers than
1t is among doctors, lawyers and
judges, but the difference Is not large.
Stevedores average 3.S children born
and 3.2 children living. Lawyers aver
age "a, children born and 90 children
living. The child Of lawyer has only
a little better chance to survive than
the child of a steyedore. according to
this.
It ia onIv in the country that a con-
sistently higher rate Of increase Is
found. Farmers, farm workmen and
farm laborers have S.4, a.2 and 8 chill
dren living ON an average per family,
respectiyely. Here Is a slight increase,
