LEGION EMPLOYMENT
DAY IS OFFICIALLY SET
FOR MONDAY, MAR. 70

Governor Thomas e. Campbell yes
terday issued a proclamation desig-
mating Monday. March 20, 1922. as
American Legion Employment Day.
The proclamation was issued in ac-
cordance with a request from the
headquarters Of the American Legion,
which has made a similar request OF
all governors of the states of the
union, in order that March 20 may be
so designated throughout the United
States.
The proclamation of the governor
earnestly requests employers, COM
munities. governmental agencies. Or
ganizations, lodges and individuals
to join hands with the American
Legion In this great humanitarian
movement to the end that Is objective
shall not fai, Of accomplishment. Ac-
cording TO the statistics gathered by
the American Legion there are ap-
proximately 100000 ex-service men in
the United States who are without
employment. The proclamation of the
governor is as follows:
"Seven hundred thousand ex-ser-
vice men in the United States out of
work-seven hundred thousand de-
tenders. not only of our own country
in the late World War but of the
liberties of other nations-etch drab
picture which is not only appalling
but is shaded with the dark colors of
indifference and ingratitude. Arizona
has its proportion of these men. and
while the State in it's various depart
ments has given employment to hun
dreds OF them it has been unable to
provide for all. Yet assuredly their
claim upon our consideration is far
greater than can be met by our mere
ly doing what is our manifest duty
in seeing to it that they are afforded
opportunity 10 make a living for
themselves and those dependent upon
them.
The American Legion, confront
ed with the emergency, has rallied TO
the relief not only of its own mem
bers but OF every unemployed veter-
an. determined that 1t will care for
them. 1t has invoked, and rightfully
so. all possible agencies. civic, gov
ernmental and business. to bring
about the desired result. On Monday.
March 20, 1922, American Legion En-
ployment Day. it win. as a climax. TO
its carefully worked out plan, endeav-
or to link up the jobless veterans in
every community with employment.
This laudable and praiseworthy aim
is not possible of fulfillment without
awakened patriotism, coupled with
the determination to be of helpful
service in this crisis.
"The State OF Louisiana with its
proud record Of not jobless Legion
naire. has set an example well worthy
of emulation. and one which am cer-
tain. win be equaled by Arizona.
These jobless veterans In our midst
are asking for but little. Their cry
is for bread. Shall we answer it with
stones? They unhesitatingly answered
the call for our defense and their ap
peal now shall not go unheeded.
Now, therefore. ]. Thomas r.
Campbell, Governor of the State Of
Arizona, by virtue of the authority in
me vested by law. do hereby designate

After declaring that enactment of
a sales tax would eventually shift
income taxes paid by the wealthy TO
''the consumers OF the land" Mr..

Shifting Tax Burdens
"For illustration, Mr.. Secretary,
Henry X. Klein, page 155 in his recent
work, rates your wealth at ss00,O00.-
600. Assuming for illustration that
one-tenth Of that amount is nearer
right, then your annual income tax
paid to the treasury is probably over
a million dollars, and this amount is
believed to be approximately the in
come tax paid by two publishers of
Washington papers which carry fire.
quent sales tax editorials-one in this
mornings issue"
Mr.. Frear declared treasury records
were said to show that millionaires
who remained at home during the
war doubled in numbers and that
fortunes were made by many thous-
ands of others, adding that more
than 100000 former service men were
reported to be without jobs.
Mr.. Hawes, who referred to himself
as a member Of the American Le-
gion, criticized the bonus bill as a
gold brick" which members of con-
gress proposed to sell to soldiers in
exchange for votes. The program
adopted by the Republican members
of the ways and means committee, he
contended, was lin reckless disregard
Of the Presidents advice"
While holding the procedure pro-
gram in allegiance to ascertain the
views of Speaker Gillett as to sus-
pension of rules, Republican leaders
frankly admitted they hoped in the
meantime to receive some authorita-
tive word from President Harding as
to whether he would approve the bill
with its present provisions. A defi-
mite expression from the President
several leaders declared, would great
ly clarity the situation.
Those in charge of the legislation
expressed confidence of their ability
to muster the necessary two thirds
vote for passage of the bill under sus-
pension of rules, and stated they
preferred to follow that track if the
speaker consented. It was agreed
that the matter of recognition of a
member to make a motion to suspend
rules rested entirely with the speak
er, and the membership Of the house,
under parliamentary rules, could not
instruct him to entertain a motion
even II it were inclined to do so.
In the event it Is decided to take. up
the bill, under suspension of rules, it
was said today that Republican lead
ers would favor extension of debate,
limited ordinarily to 80 minutes, to
as much as 10 hours. This might put
a vote over until Tuesday.

less outside firms offered very ap-

commodities which might prove a
real saving to the respective coun-
ties" Miss Jacobs explained, but
the price margin at present does not
show q sufficient difference to war
