AMERICAN LEGION
Legion Influence Demonstrated

Anyone questioning the growing
influence of the American Legion
will find an answer at the Capitol in
Washington, says John Thomas Tay-
lor, vice-chairman of the Legion Ma
tional Legislative Committee, in let
ter to Minnesota Headquarters, St.
Paul. More than 80 measures have
been introduced in behalf of dis
abled veterans of the World War.
Many of them are in committee, and
before the short session is over all
will have received consideration. Most
of these measures are proi osed
amendments to the Reed-J ohnson bill
which became law at the last session.
Besides legislation in behalf of
those who returned from the war I'M
able to carry on as they had before
the conflict, five measures concerning
adjusted compensation have been in
troduced and one of these is spon-
sored by the Legion. The Legion is
seeking no change in the present law,
except that national patriotic organ
izations may be named as benefcaries
1t is reported that nearly 1000, 900
adjusted compensation service certif-
icates" have been mailed by the Vet
Grams Bureau to World War Veter-
ans, and the number Of applications
received to date is approximately g.
100000.
The Legion was greatly interested |
in the War Department appropria. !
tons bill. One proposed amendment
as reported by the House Appropria-
tons committee would increase the
sum for Citizens Military Training |
Camps from $2,320,000 to $3,127,-

cock, in his recommendation submit
ted to the Governor, makes it very
clear that Minnesota will come to a
full stop in road improvement, unless
larger financial resources are provid-

revenue from the new gasoline tax
and the proposal for highway bond is

goals; Glenwood sunk one few min
utes later and the quarter ended with
Sank Centre on the long end of 6-2

accurate passing. Points scored in
this quarter were not due to breaks.
