POEM BY DISABLED VETERAN
Member of Prescott (Ariz.) Post Makes
Appeal to Buddes to Become
Legionnaires.

inspired by patriotic addresses made
at recent meeting of the Earnest A.
Love post of the American Legion in
Prescott, AriZ., Robert Lee Beveridge,
disabled veteran, found that he was
unable to sleep when he returned to
the hospital following the meeting.
thinking of the Legion's appeal to
men who fought together during the
World war, the feelings of Beveridge
crystallized into a poem which was
read for the first time by Mrs. Harry
I. Southworth, Arizona national ex-
ecutive committeewoman of the Amer
lean Legion Auxiliary, at a recent
meeting in Prescott addressed by AL
vim Owsley, national commander of the
American Legion. The disabled mans
poem follows:
Say, Bud, have you joined the Legion
yet?
Now don't get angry and swear.
For we never can be pure strangers,
you know.
For look at the memories we share
80 I'm asking you, have you Joined up
yet
You ought from that button you
wear.
There's a fight ahead and you ought
to be
An American Legionnaire.
You're comrade Of mine and I love
you, Bud.
Remember the gas alarm
And the o. D. shirt
That was caked with dirt
And served as cootie farm,
How we used to think in our careless
way
That taps was a sweet goodnight
TIL with heads bowed down.
We heard taps sound
At the burial after the fight?
Are you putting your shoulders to the
wheel
And showing with all your might
To finish the fight you began in France
Or have you steered clear of the
fight?
Have you forgotten Belleau, st. MihieI
and Argonne
And your buddies you left over
there
And your crippled chums who are need
ing you now
Come on, be Legionnaire.
You're comrade of mine. for haven't
we fought
On Flanders Field Of France
And ducked our head %
To the scream of lead
Or checked the Germans advance?
We've tightened our belts a notch or
Then over the top we've strode,
With Yankee grin
On a stubborn chin,
Or hiked down shell-torn road
OF course you belong to the Legion
man.
Your service has won you It,
There's no one can take it away from
you,
But you haven't been working at it.
It's a duty you owe to the fallen slain
That YOU cannot shirk or share;
It's to fight the fight as you used to
fight

The result follows that the country
may be wholly dependent upon the Pa
cific slope. Not only is this the only
remaining domestic source Of soft
woods, but a recent survey Of the
worlds supply discloses that there are
no foreign forests of this character
that America may draw upon when its
own are exhausted.
A bulletin issued by the department
says:
"The average rate of decrease over
the last 13 years has been about per
cent a year The figures for 1920 are
about 81 per cent lower than the high
production peak that was reached In
1907, when we produced about 10000
100000 feet. We have passed the high
point and the present tendency down
ward Is permanent. Since this Is the
case there must be some active steps
taken to insure permanent local

States cannot compel national banks

court held in a case brought by the
First National bank of San Jose
against the state of California.
In 1880, P. A. Campbell deposited

then he has not checked upon the ac-

California claimed that, under two
laws passed in 1915, the money es-
cheated to the state and that the courts
Of the state also took that view. The
bank contended, however, that the ma

LITTLE AID WAS NECESSARY
Most All Ex-Service Men and Women
Treated in Mayo Hospital Able
to Meet Expenses.

of the $50 cases of ex-service men
and women treated during one month
at the Mayo hospital Rochester, Mimi,
only seven required aid from the local
Legion members, according to reports
made to department officials of the
American Legion in the state
The Legionnaires at Rochester found
some time ago that a serious problem
had developed in their city when
many former service men and women,
learning Of the reputation Of the Mayo
clinic, would come there practically
without funds and even though receiv-
ing treatment, faced serious conse-
quences. In order to meet this de-
mand for service, certain post funds
were set aside and the service officer
instructed to handle these cases.
Since that time demands for aid
from these patients have practically
ended, according to post officials,
though willingness to help is still the
part of the Rochester Legionnaires.
Some degree of Legion care is of
fered to every former service man or
woman who becomes a patient in the
hospital but the requests for financial
aid show that most of the patients are
self-sustaining during the periods of
treatment. The cases in the hospital,
from all parts of the country, were as
follows:
Alabama 2, Arizona 1, Arkansas 2,
California 2, Colorado 2, Florida 2,
Idaho 2, Illinois II, Indiana g. Iowa 16,
Kansas 4, Michigan s. Minnesota "a,

John Cheshire, president of the club,

war, placed the wreath on the tomb as
the members of the club stood for a

ing great swaths as they passed, as
though twin, narrow-gauge cyclones
had cut parallel paths of wreckage
through the woodland Towering trees
went down before them like reeds, the
tanks grinding them remorselessly
under the steel-shOd runners. At
times each tank was knocking over
half a dozen trees at the same time,
literally roofing them from the earth
and numbering forward over PROSTATE
trunks a foot or more in diameter.
The sheer power Of the geared Liberty
engines overcame every obstacle Of
ditch or bank or brush or tree clump,
and not an inch to right or left from
the selected course were the monsters
forced to swerve.
Later a miniature tank attack was
delivered over the rough, sandy field

drive, their six-pounder guns roaring
and machine guns snarling as they
crept forward behind a smoke bar

dered their way over bitches and sand
dunes to disappear over a ridge be-

which refused to pass upon the validity
Of the law.
Justice Sutherland, announcing the
courts opinion that the cases could
not be considered on their merits,
pointed out that the cases in which
the court hitherto had assumed juris-
diction differed from the maternity
cases, which presented only political
and not judicial questions.
The highest court, Justice Suther-
land said, was without authority to
pass upon abstract questions. He as
serted that a state had no right to
bring suit to protect the rights of the
citizens Of the United States. The fed
eral government must look after the
rights Of its citizens, he said, taking
the position that there was nothing
presented to distinguish the citizens to
such an extent as to give the state a
right to act for them.
Referring to the claims of a tax
payer, as represented in the separate
case brought by Harriet A Frothing-
ham, the justice asserted that the ef-
feet Of the law upon future taxes was
so remote that no basis was offered
under which any court of equity could
entertain the complaint.
The Supreme court will not assume
jurisdiction over the authority Of an
other and coordinate branch of the
government, the congress, the justice
