LEGION POPULATION
CENTER IN ILLINOIS

Pontiac, Illinois, a city of 1000
people, about 90 miles south and west
Of Chicago, is the approximate center
of American Legion population in the
United States, according to figures
compiled at national headquarters OF
the organization. This computation is
based on Legion members in late
July, 1928
The Legion population naturally fol-
lows the population of the country.
The center of the whole nation is so
miles west and slightly south of In
dianapolis, where is located Legion
national Headquarters. All these
points are within a 100-mile distance
Of each other, so that geographically,
the present headquarters of the or
ganization is a central location for di-
rection OF the work of the veterans
body.
The preparation of membership fig
ures revealed many interesting facts.
Although most of the western states
have a comparatively low member
ship, consistency in totals practically
determined the east and west line at
the Mississippi river. The north. and
south line was more difficult to esti-
mate. The great cities in the region
Of the lakes, and of New England,
PLAYED the principal part in setting the
line 50 far north, as against the great
expanses and sparsely settled regions
of the South and Southwest. Once the
agricultural states were met, however,
the line was quickly determined, and
the prepTonderance of the north was
established
These figures do not take into con-
sideration any territorial or foreign
departments of the Legion, embrac-
ing only the departments in AS states
and II the District Of Columbia. A
membership already in excess of that
of last year has been enrolled in many
of the departments away from the
shores OF America.
New York is well in the lead in
point OF membership totals, ahead of
Illinois, which state leads Pennsyl-
vania by a good margin. In the next
division, Iowa and Ohio are fighting
it out, with California, Minnesota and
Wisconsin in a three-cornered contest
fer the sixth, seventh and eighth
places.
Legion members in six departments
exceed those of 1922, with II other
states having enrolled more than 90
per cent of the total attained Decem-
ber 81, 1922. Claims for the largest
single post of the Legion are made
by members of the Douglas county,
Neb., post of the Legion, approaching
5000 members, although posts plan

Representation TO the national con-
vention is based on the books of the
national treasurer on September 15.
A campaign is On in every post of the
Legion to secure four members each
week until that date, SO that each de-
paItment may secure the greatest
representation in the history of the
Legion.

SANTA FE ENDS POWER
SURVEY OF COLORADO

A survey of the hydro-electric pos
sibilities of the Colorado river has
been completed by the Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe railroad, with a
view to possible electrification of its
transcontinental lines in the desert re-
gion, it was stated by w. b. Storey,
president of the system, after an adj
dress before members of the chamber
of commerce at Pasadena.
"Our engineers have completed such
a survey" he said. while we have
no definite plans now, concerning
electrification, the question may come
up in the near future"
! In his address he said:
Making my estimate on the
amount expended by the Santa Fe in
the last 20 years, | believe $780,
100000 should be expended annually
by the railroads of the country for
the next three years to place them
where they should be in relation to
the business of the country and after
that, at least 81, 900, 100000 a year.
"The railroads at present are in
hard straits as regards earnings. /
speak of the railroads as a whole.
Last year they earned somewhat
more than a per cent and this year
thus far they have earned at the rate
of nearly s per cent. The Santa Fe
has not paid dividends larger than 6
per cent at any time.

YES, WE HAVE NO
USE FOR SOVIET RUSSIA

Stating that United States senators
and congressman who visit Russia see
only what Lenine and Trotzky plan for
them to witness, Alvin Owsley, nat
ional commander of the American Le-
gion, denounced the plea that this
country should recognize the soviet
government Of Russia in recent adj
dress delivered in Cheyenne.
81 damn with all power I've got the
plea that we should recognize the
soviet government OF Russia," ," he said,
'sand do it knowing full well that a
number Of our senator's and congress-
men are taking trips arranged by Le-
nine and Trotzky and reporting con-
ditions over there as those, there would
have them see those conditions.
Deportation for any person who adj
voeates sovietism, bolshevism or the
destruction of the republican form of
government was urged by the Legion
head.

The Legion and the Compact

citizen who believes that the ratifica-
tion of the compact will be a long for
ward step in the advancement of Ari-
zona
The Legion is undertaking great
public service in its movement to
arouse the public to the Importance
of the action they will take on Sep
tember A. There is no need to dwell
upon the advantages OF the ratifica-
ton of the pact. That ground has
been fully covered and we have no
doubt that very great majority of
the people are convinced. But what
is wanted now is public expression
of their conviction at the first oppor-
tunity offered since the compact be-
came subject Of discussion.
The mere addition to the pact forces
in the legislature as result of this
election would not in itself be very
important, for as we have already
shown, the election Of pact members in
the Eleventh district of this county
and Coconino county would still leave
the pact forces in minority if the
alignment in the regular session
should otherwise remain undisturbed.
What is important is the disturb
ance of that alignment by the election
of the pact candidates with such ma
jorities that there can be no doubt of
the overwhelming wish of the people
that the pact should be ratified with
out further delay. To that end every
voter in the Eleventh district should
be induced to go to the polls on Sep
tember ito vote for or against the
pact. The legislature should be in
formed what the people want.
We hope that none Of the republ-
cans of that district will take the
narrow view that since both the can
didates are democrats, they have no
concern in the matter. Their concern,
on the contrary, should be greater
than it ever should have been in any
previous legislative election. The peo-
pie who will go to the polls that day
will not go to vote for one democrat
or another, but to vote for or against

PENSION VOUCHERS
TO BE DISCONTINUED

The pension bureau has authorized
the discontinuance of the practice of
recurring vouchers from Individuals
preliminary to issuance to them of
pension checks. Bhis is in compliance
with an act.of congress which permits
the discontinuance of the practice ex-
cept in cases where the pension is for
reason paid to any person other than
the. pensioner named. The new ruling
eliminates vast amount of inconven-
ience to which individual pensioners
were placed each month. It also en-
ables the government to make a con-
siderable saving, eliminating the ex-
pense of printing, handling and veri-
flying the vouchers of which more
than 200, 600 went out.

LEGION LIBELER GOES TO JAIL

When the Legion Recommended that
leniency be shown, Arthur Lorenz,
former editor of the Illinois Stats
Zeitung, was sentenced to six months
in jail, with a fine of 81 and costs.
Lorenz was convicted several weeks
ago on a charge of criminal libel
which developed from an editorial he
wrote characterizing legion members
as buns, vagabonds and tramps."
It was only the LegiCn's action that
saved Lorenz from the maximum pen
atty OF $500 fine and a year in jail,
Judge Pam declared. 'sThis was not

1t is fortunate that the republicans,
in the circumstances, nominated no
candidate, though the district is un.
doubtedly republican. If they had
done so, after the first democratic
candidate had been announced, a man
who is recognized as an anti-pact man,
the contest would have been given a
partisan coloring, and though the
republican might have been elected,

From declines under yesterdays close of 30 to 60 points there was a recovery to levels points under to II points over the final quota tions of yesterday. July sold off to 25.6lc and reacted to 26.17c pound. October sold off to 22.l9c and reacted to 22.C3c The close was 12 points up to II points down, net for the day, July closing al range of 2614c to 26.1Gc. and october at 22. 5sc to 22.60c.

A few rains fell in Texas. where 1t considered they were beneficial. while the remainder of the belt was nearly dry.

PRISONER FREQ
 ELECTED

Andrew Martey. French naval officer serving sentence for treas- son for endeavoring to hand over French ships in the Black sea to the bolsheviki. has just beaten his own record as the most frequently elected official In the history of French. He has been chosen to serve in municipal offices 37 times In 26 instances he has been de- clared Ineligible. and similar deci- sfons of ineligibility will doubtless be handed down shortly in the re- maining cases.
 Martey's repeated victories, despite the legal barrier raised against his ability to serve. is the result of an agreement between the communists. socialists and radicals, who are re- organizing the old coalition of the left to fight next year the bloc national" that carried the elections of 1920.
 The combination of these three groups is seeking ostensibly to force the government to offer amnesty to Martey.
 Louis Badena. Martey's companion in the mutiny, was also frequently elected to various offices. and was ultimately released by the govern ment, The communists thereupon promptly. dropped him from their election lists

CONTINUATION OFF
 SELLING CAUSES COTTON DECLINE

NEW YORK. June "A continu- alton of yesterdays selling move ment sent the price of October con tracts off to 22.75c in the cotton market during todays early trading This made decline of 5l points from Fridays closing quotation and of 22i points from the high price of last Monday.
 Evidently this was sufficient to at tract good deal of covering for over the weekend. while liquidation tapered off. and there was q rally to 23.27c for October in the late trading. october closed at 3.2oc with the general market closing firm net 20 points lower to ' points higher.
 The market opened easy at de- cline of 10 to 45 points under heavy a good deal of covering from the start and some trade buying was re- ported. but early offerings appeared to be overwhelming and active months soon showed net losses of 5l to 58 points, with July selling at 2540c and December at 22,33c. The hope of an improvement in crop con- ditions during June was encouraged by the favorable appearance of the weather map. while there was also selling on reports of a continued poor demand for cotton goods at first hands, talk or increasing uo- nestle mill curtailment and the un- settled ruling of the stock market The more urgent offerings appeared to have been absorbed on the addi- tiona1 break of a half cent following the big decline of yesterday, how ever, and the market was quieter late in the morning. with rallies eX- tending to 25.95c for July and 22.94c for December. The close was within or points of the best. There were reports of trade buying during the morning, but the bulk of the de- mand was attributed to covering for over the weekend. Action for the market for both raw cotton and cotton goods was char acterized by local bears as an indication that end May crop prospects had been discounted. Sales of print cloths in the Fall River market for the week were estimated at about 5o,00O pieces. The amount of cotton on shipboard awaiting clearance at the close or the week was estimated at 4T,000 bales, against 1l7,000 last year.

In print cloths. sheetings and some of the heavier goods. prices were steadier, fol- lowing the higher cotton market, and yarns were also steadier.
