Chicago, Oct 4--(UP)-A Ques- tion over which tho American Le- zion and American presidents have broken many & lance-the hospital- ization of veterans not injured Tn service arose in the legion's 10S3 convention today
 But the delegates of 10000 legion posts who met Tn Samuel Insulls old Opera house were believed this year 10 be closer in agreement With tho president than for number or years past.
 There was little question over the program the legion will ap- prove--a 4-point policy drawn up by National Commander Louis A. Johnson and other leaders last spring has the pledged support or 90 per cent of the membership.
 And the only major dinerence between this program and that en- unciated by President RooseVelt before the veterans Monday con- cerns the extent of federal respoh- sibility for hospitalization of needy ex-service mon.
 The only untoward sentiment was expressed by the rehabilitation committee, which adopted 0 reso- lution charging tho federal govern ment with direct care of war vet erans whosedisability Is noe service connected. The committees reso- lution will be presented to the con- vention today.
 The legion asks that veterans disabled in limo of duty be restored compensation on tho basis of that they received prior to the national economy act; that any veteran un- able to pay for treatment bo given h pitalization at federal expense; that the servico- connected status of disabled veterans Do maintained on the pre- economy act basis; that widows and dependent children be kept under protection of the red. eral government.
 The president agreed that tho truly disabled veterans were "en- titled to receive adequate and gem orous compensation for thir disa. bilities" and that If local and state agencies failed the federal govern ment must stand ready to provide m edical facilities for needy veter- ans. He also promised generaus care of dependents. Ho admitted injustices had been done In the past

Standards Of Prosperity

One of the best achievements OF the American
people has been in the enlargements OF the list OF
what are considered human necessities And it is a
surprising fact that while the range of necessities has
been vastly enlarged the level of costs for the lndl
yidlaI items tends to decrease.
Franklin Hobbs economist, told Chicago con-
yention Of architects recently that the average gen
eral price level is about 25 per cent below that
of a century ago But that does not mean that it IS
cheaper to live now. In fact, Mr.. Hobbs estimated
that it costs the average individual about 10 times as
much to live as it cost the average individual to
live 100 years ago.
ut costs each Of you, said Mr.. Hobbs, three
times as much to live it cost you IN 1900 even
though you live eXtrayagantly now than you
lived then The difference in the cost is the amount
required buy the things that not in existence
in former times but now have to be regarded as
necessities"
There is vital significance in these observations.
There is reason why each revival from period Of
depression promises Of prosperity greater
than ever before enjoyed The scope Of activities sup
plying what humanity regards it's needs continual
ly broadens Once it was sufficient to provide simple
shelter food and clothing for the great of the
population and general Welbeing was thought attend
ed to- History records that king set as his ideal Of
prosperity for his people that every peasant should
have a fowl in the pot on Sunday.
But right now the American ideal Of normal
good times is that every American family should
have its car and good many should have two OR
three that every house should have radio, tele-
phone electric lights and energy for operating labor
saving Devices an oil heater and mechanical refriger
alton, besides an abundance of clothing, foods and
other elemental comforts taken for granted.

of the loan, making total carry
ing charge on the loan of 4%, and
thus paying out the entire loan
during the period of its existence.
II believe in, and will support.
legislation particularly affecting the
livestock owners in this state, by
giving them relief from unwarrant-
ed grazing fees, and by giving them
the same class and kind of Federal
aid as is allowed to other interests.
IT believe in substantially reduc-
ing the interest rate that the Gov
ernment is now paying on taX-eX-
empt securities, which are now be-
ing held in the hands of the veal
thier class of people in the United
States. And, instead of paying on
such tax-exempt securities an in
terest rate of about Sc, to allow a
maximum to be paid on tax-ex-
empt securities of not to exceed
go. This would cause a saving to
the Federal Government of approx
inately two billions of dollars
year, which money could be used
by the Government for public re-
lief agencies, balancing the budget,
providing for Veterans needs, etc.
II believe in raising the standard
on the quota of immigrant laborers,
which will prevent the incoming of
thousands of non-citizen Mexicans
into the United States, who are now
occupying jobs that should go to
citizens OF the State of Arizona.
This is Of extreme Importance to
this state insofar as they are be-
ing employed within the state.
Thousands of laborers who do not
even enjoy the right Of citizenship
in the United States. This class of
worker, I believe, should be deport-
ed to his native land 1t is creating
a very harmful situation.
Commodity prices are rising: liv-
ing expenses are increasing, and, I
believe in and will support, plan
which will make possible higher
wages and shorter working hours.

Gold

Economists have long expounded the theory that
gold mining remains profitable industry during
panics and depressons because at such times the pur
chasing power Of gold increases putting the precious
neual at a premium Their contention has been sup
ported by the events of the last three years.
The excess gold is pouring in from the hills Of
the gold states where thousands Of men and women
have turned prospectors to make living, if not a
fortune, through placer mining.
Jobless men, representing all classes from griz-
zled professionals to college amateurs, washing
gravel from mountain streams for pay dirt They av-
erage not less than 81 day and there is always the
possibility of striking it rich. Every placer miner
cherishes the hope Of finding some day the mother
lode or pocket Of nuggets.
Gold can relieve many wants, including the want
of employment. It has provided real unemployment
relief in several states

Savings In Auto
Equipment Offered

With vacation season in full
swing, as evidenced by the trek Of
motor cars on every highway and
byway leading to vacation lands in
the west, the Western Auto Supply
Company announces mid-season
savings event, so that vacation trips
can be made more economically,
according to L. L. Odle, local mana
ger of the company.
Motorists are afforded the op-
portunity to enjoy savings in au-
tomobile equipment during this
event., says Mr.. Ode, Hundreds
of opportunities to save substantial

radios, auto accessories, lubricating
oils and greases, camping equip
ment and many othe" items are of~
fered by this mid season event.
cone OF the special features,
which should be OF ,nLerest to every
automobile oWne-' IS the liberal
trade-in allowance being made for
cid tires to apply on the purchase
price Of new Western Giant tires.
Prices are SO low or guaranteed
Western Auto tires that motorists
cannot afford to taze chances with
worn tires on vacation trips or for
every day driving.
Annoying delays on vacation
trips can be obviated if the car
owner will take a little time before
starting on the trip to carefully
check over the car and its equip
ment and replace any worn item,
whether it be tires, storage battery,
accessories Or motor parts.
Using the correct weight Of mo-.
tor oil often saves engine trouble
as it helps to prevent the motor
from overheating and other motor
troubles. The fact that Western
Auto stores sell thousands of GAL
Ions of motor oil each month is
evidence that motorists appreciate
the savings gained by buying oil in
quantity lots and that the Oil is of
high quality western Auto stores
are stocked with both Pennsylvania
oils and Western oils in the proper
weights recommended for the in
dividual make of car by the manu-
facturer and automotive engineers.

and not definite, concrete asser-
tions Of principles Or policies. From
the beginning I have stood for the
following:
II favor reinstating Veterans
benefits by sponsoring new legisla-
ton to reinstate such benefits that
had accrued prior to the Seventy
third Congress-, which was the ses-
sion just ended, which will return
to the Veteran, his dependent and
beneficiary, all the rights that they
had held prior to the last session
of Congress.
II believe in correcting improper
co1npensations to Veterans, their
AeAendents and beneficiaries,. by
providing that each separate case
shall be investigated on its own
merits; that a hearing be allowed
and that where, after such hear
ing and investigation, improper
compensations or benefits are found
to exist, then, and then only, to
strike such a case from the Vet
Grams rolls.
Il strongly believe in the aims
and objects of organized labor.
II believe in, and will sponsor,
a new bank guaranty act which will
protect all depositors in national
banks against any loss as a result
OF national bank failure.
q favor legislation which will es-
tablish agricultural banks, through
which banks, a plan will be provid-
ed whereby all farmers of the Unit
ed States woud be allowed to boz :
row money from said agricultural
banks to refInance their farm mort
cages. Further providing that they
can pay out their debt for such re-
financing over a fifty-year period,
at go interest, with an additional
go to be applied on the principal
