the fighting citizenry of the World
war. They realize that their position
as politicians in controlling our gov
ernment will be greatly weakened, and
in fact, wrecked when the members
of the American Legion, and other
patriotic organizations, take an active,
non-partisan interest in the selection
and election of the men and women
who hold public office, and in elimin-
ating the political incompetents.
Membership
The results we have obtained are
due to the splendid work and cooper
alton that you members and officers
of the various posts have given to
your state department. We could
never have advanced as we have done
if it had not been for your wonderful
and untiring work and cooperation.

COMMANDER FOR YEAR

item to the carrying on of the work
of the American Legion.
Disabled Ex- Service Men and Women
I feel most sincerely that one of
our first duties and responsibilities is
to work for and assist the disabled
men and women We are their big
brothers and their troubles and wor-
ries must rest upon our shoulders for
solution.
1t has been our pleasure to handle
and assist in securing favorable action
by the U. S. Veterans bureau in the
cases of a large number of disabled
men and women. 1t has been our prac-
tice to concentrate largely upon COM
pensation, training and other claims
after they have been denied and re-
fused once or more times by the bu-
reau. | will not try to say how many
| shall not attempt to state how many
eases we have successfully handler,
but | do say to you that the American
Legion has helped great many dis
abled men and women and has, as a
direct result Of our efforts, secured
the favorable reconsideration and ad-
justment of claims aggregating a
great many thousands Of dollars.
Legislation
/ recommended to the legislative
committee that we secure an annual
appropriation from the state of Ari-
zona of $500 to be used by the Amer
ican Legion in carrying on our work
An amount of $4,000 was finally de-
cided upon by the committee, but af-
ter a conference with the governor
we were forced to reduce this amount
to $4,000. Your adjutant and myself
had an understanding with the adju-
tant general Of Arizona that this ap-
preparation be made under the head

difference in our standing was .255%o.
Commander Stonddard then made
several recommendation and conclud-
ed his annual report with these
words:
This, Buddies, is the report that |
submit to you, covering my adminis-
tration as your department command
er.
It is impossible for me to express
my sincere appreciation of the honor
you conferred upon me nine months
ago in selecting me as your depart
ment commander, and it is also impos-
sible for me to even attempt to ex-
press to you the pleasure / have had
in association with you and in meet
ing so many Of our men in person and
forming friendships that | shall al
ways high cherish.
/ have given you the best there is
in me-and if my efforts to help our
organization in its great work have
been successful, | am satisfied and
content.
| shall always be at your command.

ering my term of office, commencing
September 20, 1922:
Visits to Posts
Upon accepting my election as de-
partment commander at Douglas, Sep
tember 20, 1922, | stated that it
would be my endeavor to work for
the upbuilding and advancement of
the American Legion, and that | would
visit the posts in the state twice dur
ing my term of office, if the posts
wanted me. l have certainly tried to
fulfill this promise.
1t has been my pleasure to visit a
large number of the posts a second
time upon invitation and assist them
in interesting their community in the
work, objects and purposes of the
American Legion.
| take this opportunity to most sin
cerely thank the officers and members
Of the respective posts in this depart
ment for the whole-hearted, enthusias-
tic and hospitable manner in which
they received me, and the kindly con-
sideration that they have at all times
given to my suggestions for the bet
terment and advancement of the work
of the American Legion.
Contributes Expenses
Though there was certain allow
ance made few years ago to defray
the expenses of the department COM
mander in visiting posts, yet | have
felt that such expenses would be too
severe a strain upon the limited fl
nances of the department. take very
much pleasure in cancelling my ex-
pense account and contributing this
