legion Wins
Two Victories
During Year
ORGANIZATION CHIEFLY RES
PONSIBLE FOR NEW HOSPITAL
AND MINNESOTA VETS LEGIS-
LATION.

The American Legion has chalked
two victories to its credit during the
recent past-obtaining $1,2OO,OOO
hospital for Minnesota and the pas
sage in the State Legislature of a
number of measures Endorsed at the
Department Convention last August.
Work on the hospital, which will
be situated at Fort Smelling, will be-
gin before July 1. Government en-
gineers already are making prelimin-
commodate 400 patients. 1t is the
elimination of three and half
year fight for such an institution on
the part of the Legion. Victory was
brought within grasp very recently,
when Commander Edwin L. Lindell,
Adjutant Stafford King and Fred C.
Nelson, chairman of special Veter-
ans Bureau Investigating Commit
tee, went to Washington to lay the
Legion plea before officials there.
Director Frank I. Hines of the Vet
Grams Bureau at that time definitely
promised the hospital, and his prom
Use is being fulfilled.
Among the more important pieces
of Legion Legislation" passed by the
state legislature is a bill providing
for a state guardianship office, to be
financed by tuition funds left over
from the state bonus funds. The
guardianship officer will come into
immediate contact with judges OF
probate court and with guardians of
veterans, and will see that the veter-
ans are properly cared for and look.
ed after. Heretofore there has beer
no particular responsibility on any
person in this connection.
Another act backed by the Legion
is the 'local option" law relative tt
peddling Each community, under
the terms of this legislation, will hav,
power to license peddlers as it see'
fit, and it can make exceptions in thu
case of disabled men or other wa
veterans if the citizens wish. Here
tofore it was incumbent upon com
munity to issue free license if an.
war veteran requested it.
Another bill which will allow pro
bate courts to commit insane veter
ans direct to Government hospitals
without cutting all the red tape neces
sary under the old plan, was spon
sored and supported by the Legiol
through its legislative committee.
The statewide boxing bill whicl
had the Legion's approval, failed, a

ing of revenue freight for the week
ended September 5, totaled 1,102,946
cars. according to reports filed by the
carriers with the American Railway
Association today.
This was a decrease of 21,400 cars
under the week before when revenue
freight loadings amounted to 1.124,,
436 cars, the greatest number loaded
during any one week on record.
The decrease, compared with the
preceding week, was due to falling
off in loading of coal, grain and grain

Miscellaneous freight, merchandise
and less than carload lot freight, coke
and livestock, however, showed in
creases.

$50 far as construction is con-
cerned, the procedure of the past
should be followed, but building these
irrigation works would not of itself
insure solvent development or create
real opportunities for settlers. Past
experience in this and other irrigated
countries is conclusive that solvent
reclamation requires a program of
settlement and farm development.
eve are in accord with the essen
tial features of the settlement and
farm development program outlined
in this report and believe that it's
economic features are sound and
feasible
"The subdivision Of over million
acres of land with about 10000 farms
would have to be thot out and set
tiers secured who have the equipment
and experience needed to cultivate
the land, so as to secure satisfactory
returns.
s'The report Of the last reviewing
board states that financial aid and
practical advice to settlers are es-
sential to successful development IF
this project. The methods of doing
these things are still largely untried
in this country and the first attempts
to utilize them should be on a small
scale. Only after enough experience
has been had to determine what can
be wisely and safely attempted should
they be applied on as gigantic scale
as will be necessary in the develop
ment of this project"

us proud of our home town? Usually,
only the home merchants.
Who are the first to combat the
things that are injurious to our COM
munity-to society-to our industrial,
commercial, financial and moral life
Usually, only the home merchants.
Who digs into their pocketbooks
deeper than the home town merchants
to support community benefits? "Day
by day, in every way" home town
merchants are contributing of their
time, their energy and money to
make this community a bigger and
better place in which to live.
1t is proper and fitting then that
we give more than a passing thot to
the debt we owe the home town mer-
chant and that we come to the reali-
zation that this debt can be repaid by
giving to them the trade of the COM
munity, a trade well earned and
rightfully theirs.
The truth of the matter is, home
town merchants are selling goods at,
or less, than prices elsewhere, and if
we will be fair and include additional
expenses incurred when trading away
we are bound to admit that it is
cheaper to trade at home besides
showing spirit of reciprocity.
Spend your money elsewhere, and
the merchants will be forced to go
out of business and to seek new To-
cation where more civic pride and
community spirit exists. And you
may be sure that no other business
men will come in to take their place,
as for nothing scares business away

PAVING CONTRACTS FINISHED

The last of this years paving con-
tracts will be finished early this
month; it is practically done now.
Next year the state will only pave
little more than twenty miles of
highway, the exact mileage depending
upon the time word comes from
Washington that the annual federal
aid bill has passed congress. Early
action on the federal aid bill is need
ed both for the paving and bridge
program outlined by the highway de-
partment for 1926.
The most important pieces of road
to be paved in 1926 are those between
Agnew and Port Angeles on the
Olympic highway; between Cashmere
and Dryden on the Chelan-O kanogan;
between Kennewick and Richland on
the Inland Empire and a piece of the
Sunset near North Bend in King

conspiracy actions in cases where two
or. more combine in an attempt to
violate the prohibition law; the con-
viction on such charge would carry
with it sentence in the federal pen
etentiary. The department of justice
is also bringing injunction proceed
ings to close breweries, distilleries,
and all business houses and places
where liquor is being stored or sold
in violation of law.
This means that the building or
place would be locked under seal of
the United States government and
could not be used for any purpose
for a period of one year. When the
government does this it will reduce
the supply of booze, lessen drunken
ness, and will aid state, county, and

PLAN BOOSTS
HOME DEALERS
Their Progressiveness as
Community Boosters are
big Assets to the CITY

For more than fifteen years the
Courier Reporter has been boosting
Kennewick merchants, the home town
business men. Why? Because Ken
newick merchants stand by their
home town at all times; at all times
are willing to lend a helping hand
in the, support of every home enter
prise and because they back every
move that is for the best interests of
Kennewick.
But we wonder if the citizens in
and about the community realize the
worth of the home town merchants
of the many things they do for the
town and it's people, and how much
we, as a people, owe to them.
Back of every movement for good,
for progress, development and uplift,
are the home town merchants, and
usually only the home town mer-
chants, while others "pass the buck
except during beneficial showers.
Who contributes most to communi-
ty welfare-to church, to school, to
society, to civic movements, to char
ity and improvements /? Usually, only
the home town merchants.
Who are the vital forces in every
organization having to do with COM
munity life and improvement? Usual
~, only the home town merchants.
