A MATTER OF PRIME IMPORT
AkCE

The American Legion News service
prints a report from the state of
Washington to the effect that G. w.
Hoffman. wounded veteran, has
been mo fing futile attempts to Sc
cure compensation from the govern
penl, that the Legion has had to come
to his relief as for five years he had
been unable to get any help from the
Veterans Bureau.
On the face of this it might seem
that several people had been neGli-
gent. the veteran, the bureau and the
government There seems to be no
has been mlsmanaged. 1t has had
plenty of money to do with, but sup
plying the money isn't all there is to
it II the disabled veteran hasn't the
capacity for complaining and his
friends haven't, who is to look after
his case ii the government or tho
Legion doesn't? And if the govern
ment doesn't do it .snt it pertinent
for The Legion to inquire why? 1t is
very important that the public insist
on the bureau doing that which ii is
in existence fer doing. We shouldn't
be diverted from this by agitation
over the bonus or any other question.
This government has set out to look
after its disabled soldiers; that is
matter OF prime importance. Neither
the bonus question nor the hunt for
high placed rasCals should he per-
n;itted to distract attention from the
disabled veteran.

A Case for Common Sense

iBOStOn POST DEM
In the Posts opinion the revenue
tax bill should not be the football of
politics. Only one objective should
be considered, and that is the welfare
and prosperity Of the country at
large.
But, since the revenue tax bill has
been thrust into politics, the game
should be played with common sense.
The Republican party presents the
Mellon bill strongly backed by the
President, assuring the nation that it
will produce the necessary revenue,
and that, while helping the big in
come receivers with lis - per cent
maximum, will secure from them a
larger revenue than q higher maxi
mum, and at the same time will help
the smaller taxpayers indirectly
much more than Il higher maximum.
Why not take the administration
at its word? Then. if the promised
results do not come about, II can be
held responsible for what results do
come.
1t is therefore very poor brand Of
politics to turn down the Mellon plan,
as the Democrats did on Tuesday at
Washington.
Isn't it about time for the Demo-
cratic party to get rid of the donkey
as a party emblem?

The big yellow moon dimly lighted
the great forest as Little Jack Rabbit
honped out of the last story into
this one TO follow the tiny fairy. In
and out among the trees she fitted
on her gauzy wings, sometimes hid
den by the underbrush.

little bunny boy, Il mustn't lose her. ="
and he went faster than ever. clip

sack bouncing UP and down on his
back and his red striped candy cane
swinging from his left paw.
BY and by. after a while, and a
bumpy old mile and never i smile,
for he was too worried lest he lose
sight of the tiny fairy, they came
out of the forest and on a broad
meadow. Resting on a pretty daisy
flower, she pointed TO farm house
not far away.
