 Adjusted Compensation
 The post commander has had many expressions from thinking people in Birmingham this week as result of the clear and able presentation of the adjusted compensation question as presented by Matt MuNphy, Leon Bradley, Frank Dixon and J. T. Mic Ewin, the legion committee of Bir- mingham post, No. l, this week.
 President Harding, Secretary Mel lon and members of Congress con fess themselves greatly troubled over the question of what percentage of ex-soldiers will choose cash in the event of the five-plan contemplation bill is passed, Referendum votes have been taken by the American Le- zion in widely separated localities over the country. The results show that the choice of the fifth provision of the bill would largely depend on the economical condition existing in the different sections of the country. More than so per cent of the le- gionnaires in Pennsylvania voted for the paid-up insurance plan. Less than one-half of all ex-service men, ac cording to the referendum vote, would elect the ready cash plan. In Kansas great majority of legion naires voted for the home and farm aid feature of the bill
 Conservative estimates made throughout the nation indicates that less than 50 per cent of eN-army men and about 75 per cent of the navy men would elect cash settlement Le- zion officials believe that the 75 per cent estimate of navy and marine men is all out of proportion and is far too high.
 Our Soldier Citizens The ex-service men and women are taking full advantage of the poll tax amendment to the constitution by presenting their discharge certificates to the county registrar, and are being given certificates from Judge Stiles, which will enable them to vote in all city, county and state elections with out the payment of the poll tax until October. 1923.
 MT. M K. Morris says that he be- lieves. the vote in August will be the iedNieSl ever potleul Tn JeIferSOn county, and this, notwithstanding the fact that great many men and wom- en have failed to pay their poll tax this year. There were, according to MT. Morris, 2,0o0 less payments of poll tax than last year or the year before. He feels, however, that this may be due to the fact that many ex- service men and women who paid their poll tax last year were so cer- tain of the passage of the poll tax amendment that they did not pay for the present year.
 The board of registration is now sitting at the courthouse and will re- main in session until March 31, to register all that have become quali- fled voters since the last registra- ton.
 The post commander says that big events are ahead for the legionnaires, and that it is all important that those who wish to take advantage of the exemption present their certifi- cates of discharge to Judge Stiles and procure the very necessary papers" from Judge Stiles in order that they may carry on" as full fledged citi- xens.
