FAIR DEAL FOR
ALL VETERANS
IS LEGION aim
Organization Asks Benefits

Ex-SerViCe Men.
ECONOMY is STRESSED
Johnson Emphasizes Intent
to Battle Against U. S.
Fund Waste.
BY TALCOTT POWELL
Editor indianapolis Times

In the hurly-burly of the March
banking crisis, the really disabled
war veteran Temporarily was elbowed
aside. This was the conclusion of
an American Legion special investi-
eating committee which made a
study of the effect of President
RooSevelt'S economy act.
This committee, headed by o. l..
Bodenhamer, did not concern itself
with the troubles of gold bricks"
and veterans who did not have &C
tual service connected disabilities.
while it was represented to the
public that the economy act would
result in reduction of veterans
benefits to battle and war time serv-
ice casualties of not to exceed 20
per cent adjudication under the
regulations as promulgated by
President Roosevelt's economy act,
the thirty-two typical cases of gun
shot wounds received in actual COM
bat have resulted in reductions
which averaged 43 per cent, said
the commander report.
Reductions Reach 20 Per Cent
In the adjudication of 100 typical
cases involving service connected
disabilities arising out of war serv-
ice, the actual reductions averaged
70 per cent" The committee also
reported against the elimination OF
regional offices for adjudication of
veterans claims.
Although its members gave no
specific reasons for objecting to this
economy measure, it is admitted at
legion national headquarters here
that to wipe out the regional Of
fees would lead to a repetition OF
the Civil war arrearage evil.
For nearly twenty years after the
close of that war the genuinely dis
abled veteran had to wait for a per-
iod of years before his pension
claim was authorized. Seeing the
injustice of this, congress legislated
that when his claim finally was
found valid he should receive a
lump sum payment, representing his
pension dated from the time he was
wounded. This almost bankrupted
the federal treasury and in 1893
veterans were receiving nearly IS
per cent of the nations gross in
come.
Ask Equal Treatment
Other recommendations of the
committee include:
Equal treatment of veterans and
dependents of all wars.
A permanent classification of
benefits for all classes of veterans
and their dependents of all wars,
past and future.
A governmental policy contem-
plating adequate compensation and
disqualification for all veterans with
service connected disabilities, with
out means of support, who would be
charges and wards of the federal
government and not of state and To-
cal governments or of public charity.

WET VICTORY
PREDICTED IN
maine BALLOT
State, Dry Since 1851,
Goes to Polls for Repeal
Decision Today.

bU { NlIcN RIPSS
PORTLAND, Me, Sept. II. -
Maine, dry since 1851, voted today
on ratification of the twenty-first
(repeaD amendment. Observers pre-
dicted it would be the twenty sixth
consecutive state to repu6iate ma
tionaI prohibition.
Todays election opened the final
phase of the drive to repeal the
eighteenth amendment this year. If
Maine falls into line, repealists will
need only ten more states. Colora-
do, Minnesota and Maryland vote
Tuesday.
Idaho and New Mexico vote a
week from Tuesday; Virginia, Oct.
8; florida, Oct. 10; Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, North and South Carolina
and Utah, Nov 7. The vets could
lose two states and still be vic
torious.
Repeal can not become an &C
tuality, however, until Dec. or 6.
Ohio holds it's formal ratification
convention Dec. 4; Pennsylvania,
Dec. 5, and North and South Caro-
lima, Dec. 6.
Predictions of the wet victory in
Maine ranged as high as 21a to l,
the most conservative being 3 to 2.
Next to Kansas, Maine had been
established as the driest of the
states. In 1851 Neal Dow, Quaker
prohibitionist, framed and engineer
I'd the passage of the states prohib-
itary law. The first formidable
rebellion was last year, when Gov
ernor Louis j. Brann, Democrat,
and three Democratic congressman
were elected on wringing wet plat
forms. In recent months, the
state permitted sale of 80 beer.

They don't always hear you
