porters OF an effort to cut the Gov

Grams were declared today by Louis A..
johnson, national commander OF the
American Legion, to be distributing
misleading and unfair" propaganda
and "inciting class against class"
Speaking at department convention
Of Legion post commanders and ad-
jutants, Mr.. johnson denied a decrease
in veteran compensation and hospi-
talization would relieve the average,
ordinary American Of high taxes"
"The payment to disabled veterans Is
made by the Federal Government from
Federal taxes, which decreased Sl,437.-
000C8 in the 10-year period of 1921
30." he asserted. 1T is the State and
local taxes. which do not go into the
Federal Treasury, that the average
home owner pays. "''
Examining the taxpayer
question in the light of actual facts
and figures, the propaganda put out
by opponents not only appears ridicu-
lous, but misleading and unfair
ITO trace where this attack on the
disabled is inspired, one has only to
consider what the average Legionnaire
living in the average city or town
knows to be the truth. Few, if any,
of his friends pay income taxes to the
Federal Government, much less pay
large income taxes.
Those of his friends who do pay
Federal income taxes can we'll afford to
do so, because they would not have to
pay these taxes If their net incomes
had not been of good size. They know
we'll that if person has lean year,
financially, that the income tax Is re-
duced or abolished accordingly"
The national commander declared
that "clever" opponents of veteran
compensation would renew an attempt
to cut payments to veterans in Con-
gress this Winter. This group, he as
serted, was "inciting class against class. J."
