which are wild and others false.
If Mr.. Vickers does not place his
cards face up, on the table, as the
American Legion has done, we must
for the present, defer, and suspect
him of uliginous motives, the publica-
ton of which, to his feverishly dis
tributed resignation, would be the
Perfect Answer.
Pure patriotism burns with much
fire and little smoke; and not with
much smoke, the enanations of q
small concealed smudge.
Local posts refrain to take con-
certed action for or against the fight
now on; and to recognize the honest
opinion of each member as his right.
Members not in harmony with gene
raj opinions of compensation can
not with fair consideration and with
out Interior motives, use the Adjusted
Compensation question as a reason
for resigning from their organiza-
tions, or the American Legion.

VICKERS GETS
LEGION'S REPLY
Executive Committee of Local Post
Frames Answer to His
Communication

In accepting the resignation of j.
w. Vickers, ex-commander, the ex-
ecutive committee of Robert w. Ely
Post prepared the following letter
and requested it's publication:
In response to the vicarious sup
plications of j. w. Vickers the ap-
parent self-delegated apostle of SUI
per-patriotism of this community and
the Inland Empire; who has extended
his solicitations thru various newspa-
pers; offered his consultations and
warnings to Congress; and who has
impugned the good name and deeds
of the American Legion; the execu-
tive committee of Robert w. Ely Pos
No. 33, American Legion, Kennewick,
Wn., desire to state that the resigna-
ton of j. w. Vickers from the Robert
Ely Post has been duly considered and
properly accepted.
Al letter to the post of which the
resignation was part contained var
ious mis-statements, implications, in
situations and differences, together
with some stale military history and a
very few facts.
We feel that certain statements
and charges made require firm and
positive denial.
We deny the lack of patriotism
within the American Legion. The
Legion is essentially patriotic or
ganization. Considering its reason
for being; its inception; it's preamble
and declarations; its deeds and the
character of its membership; there
is no place or companionship in the
organization for unpatriotic ex-ser-
vice. men or women. Such people have
always Stunned the Legion; have
never sought membership; and could
not be admitted or retained.
We deny the evident intent of
'bluffing and forcing" either or both
houses of Congress into passing the
Adjusted Compensation bill. We also
deny our ability to do either; but
since Mr.. Vickers in his zeal has en-
dowed the Legion with the possibility
of such powers powers it has not,
and would not use, we must devote
some space to denial however foolish
it may seem.
II Mr.. Vickers had stated that the
Legion is urging the passage of bill
giving relief to ex-service men, which
did not have its inception in the
American Legion, but in Congress it
self, thru popular demand, he would
have stated the matter sanely and
properly. The American Legion is
now asking and urging Congress for
that which was voluntarily promised.
In the opinion of the executive COM
mittee this charge, and the inference

helped establish the same. Note: The
county roads established during 1928
have all been established legally and
, the law complied with in regard to
making them a matter of record in
the Benton engineers office.
Gravel Pits: This office has sur
veyed and mapped gravel pits. We
have investigated quite large por-
ton of Benton county for possible
gravel pits.
County Warehouse: This office has
designed one county warehouse and
has -staked out two warehouse
grounds.
Bridge Work: This office has de-
signed and staked out five canal cross
bridges and has drawn plans and es-
timated the cost of repairing 5 major
Yakima river bridges, and has sup
erintended the repairs of one major
Yakima river bridge, and has acted
in an advisory capacity in numerous
instances relative to bridge work. We
have standardized our small bridge
drawings so that we can furnish,
plans, estimates and quantities for
almost any small bridge contemplated
We have completed three state land
surveys in connection with our coun-
ty roads, conforming to the specifica-
lions therefore laid down by the state
land office.
Permanent Highways: This office
has prepared plans, specifications,
and contracts for two permanent
highways this year and done all the
engineering in connection Herewith,
all in accordance with the specifica-
tions therefore laid down by the state
highway department. The total length
Of said highways being nine miles and
constructed at cost of $32,433.14.
Drainage: This office has, in as
far as possible with the equipment
available, done its share of the work
involved in maintaining the drains
constructed in this county.

that both branches Of Congress could

that both branches Of Congress could
be bluffed or forced is the unjust
statement of zealot, and not fact;
and that it is an insult to the intelli-
gence and manhood of the represen-
tatives of the state of Washington
and other states, the members of the
House of Representatives and Senate
of the United States. And further,
we believe that letters so brazenly
deficient in the sense of the eternal
fitness of things, do violence to the
native intelligence and patriotism of
the citizens of this community and we
further believe there is not the slight
est doubt but that the members of
Congress so assiduously assailed with
the emanations of Mr.. Vickers ap-
parently infertile and aspiring mind.
will at once recognize and properly
value his warning communication.
We deny that only minority of
the members Of the Legion favor adj
/ justed compensation. Delegates are
! sent yearly to state and national con-
ventions. These delegates have their
instructions. The yearly American
! Legion National Conventions have
unanimously voted in favor Of COM
ipensation for five years. And further
more we deny that such measures are
not popular with the general public,
and cite the fact that measures of
similar nature have been passed by
overwhelming majorities in twenty
states. Since the ex-service men poll
about 8 per cent of the total voting
strength, such results necessarily
show that the public favors adjusted
compensation, and recognize it as
right. In Oklahoma alone has such
measure been defeated. There the
measure came up at a special cleo
ton when the impeachment Of Gov
Hernor Walton, and XXX. dominated
the election and all other considera-
tions.
Everyone comedies the right of every
other one, of mature and sane mind,
to be guided by the pure conviction
of conscience in respect to public
measures; and such convistions carry
with them dignity and respect, re-
gardless of the viewpoint taken and
declared. However, it is commonly
recognized that those who are impell-
ed to act from pure conviction only,
do not point an accusing finger at
others, for the purpose of self-glori-
fication. It is not necessary for them
to do so. Such persons are most often
transformations. orderly, tolerant and
respectful. When such persons make
a statement, it means just that, and
nothing more or less; and seldom do
such persons voluntarily, industriously
and blattently scatter chaff to the
four winds.
If Mr.. Vickers will state in print
that his accusations and declarations
are impelled only by conscientious
convictions pure and undefiled, we ex-
tend him our profound respect, to-
gether with our sympathy, the latter
because we do not concur with his
accusations and charges, some of

They made 10 points in the second

County Engineer C. L. Ammon Files
Report With County
Commissioners

In accordance with the usual GUS
tom elsewhere this office respectfully
submits the following report of the
work completed by this office during
the year 1928:
Office Work: The office of the Ben
ton Engineer has been completely
revised, in the following particulars:
Filing: A new system of filing
has been adopted such that the road
maps, drainage maps, plating land
maps, bridge maps and drawings, and
general mechanical and structural
drawings, and section survey maps,
and miscellaneous drawings are all
filed separately so that we can find
any map or drawing in the minimum
amount of time.
Bridges have been numbered and
charted On county map and sep
arate file opened for bridges and
bridge inspection.
Separate files have been opened for
drainage data and reports.
We have a file opened for work
under way Contract work. that
proves very satisfactory.
Drafting: All maps prepared by
this office have as far as practical,
been standardized, so that they reflect
to the credit of the county through
out the state and elsewhere. as well
as increasing the efficiency of this
office in regard to filing and cases
of interpreting what the maps stand
for and represent.
County Roads: This office has sur
veyed and mapped approximately AZ
