PAGE TWO AMERICAN LEGION STATE CONVENTION By Fred B Beckuteyer The slate convention of n it American Legion opened in The Dalles. at 9 o'clock Thursday morn ing with State Commander Latte Uoodell in the cltair. Mayor Stadelman of The Halle- welcomed the legionnaires atul the auxiliary to tlte city He said, in part: "Welcome. Buddies You were for us ‘overthere;' The Halles is for you here Let * ko ! ” Chief of Po lice Heater staled that the keys to the jail had been stolen and that it would be several days before r.e*.v ones could be obtained After a fifteen minute recess the business session ope.ied Command er Uoodell presented t runtber of rus- elutions w hich he hoped might b ’ pcssed. He recommended that the office of state adjutant be made an appointive one instead ot elective; also that all past state commanders be made delegates a' 'urge to i tie national convention for it is harJly probable that there will ever be more than fifty. In fifty years The Amer ican l.egion will be where the G. A. H. is today— a few left, the rest gone west. A solemn warning against allowing religious influences to cause dissension in the ranks of the legion was sounded by the command er. " W e had no religious lines and we had no lines of birth in the army*. There should be uone now. To m3 my buddy means much more than some one w ho was not a buddy.” After this the committee reports came thick and fast. The credentials committee reported that only 66 out of the 111 posts in the state had rep. resentatives at the convention. Bonus la w of Dallas, for (he third district. M. llano, of Marshfield, was chos en committeeman at large und Chus. A.

On the last day of the convention just after noon a puiade was given. A very iecided military touch w.i* given by the 59th l' S Infantry and and the legionnaires in uniform There were beautifully decorated floats and other vehicles The Warm Springs Indians, dressed In their fin est and mounted upon sleek little In dian ponies created a steady wave or applause. A distinguished gathering watched the pared as it passed in review— before the stand in front of the Elks Temple Heading the delegation was Governor Ben W. Olcott. ------------ « ------------ IH*»in-il Changed. The raise the amount an ex-servic ■ man may obtain in a loan, under the state bonus law. from $3,000 to $4- 000 was an issue which came before the convention. A resolution pe titioning the next legislature to make such a change in the law was adopt ed, the property collateral to be left in its present status. The hospitalization committee rec ommended that Base Hospital No 7 7 be removed from Walla Walla to Ft. Stevens. This would give a much greater relief to patients to be cared for from the Oregon district. It was also recommended that any legion member who finds a few- spare moments on his hands while in any city where there is a l!. 8 Vet-1 erans' hospital, that he visit th® boys who are coniined there. laintl Settlement. Any unsettled land in the sect I should be given to worthy service men and time mortgages given cov ering a period of 35 years. Several thousand acres of land are now be ing settled by Japs and foreigners. It was recommen/led that steps be taken to rush a special amendment I through in the November election to stop this. A resolution was passed, asking the Oregon Chamber of Com- i merce to aid the American Legion in taking these steps. On the morning of July 38 our National Commander Hanford Mac- Nider arrived and was most enthus-| iastically welcomed. His speech con. sisted mostly of personal remini-1 scences. However, he made a strong I plea for proper care for disabled vet- j erans. "Our first duty is now and ahvay j will be to see that those buddies of i ours who came back here blind, maimed, broken in health and body, get a square deal from the country ! for which they fought.” he declare 1 "Practically every bit of legislation I now in effect for the disabled veter-. ans was not only written, pushed. | but put through congress by The American Legion, and The American Legion alone.” Hr. Vincil, reporting Tor the state hospitalization committee, caused a sensation when he declared that Dr Sawyer, personal physician to Pres ident Harding is a “ worn out old fos sil.” and should be discharged Dr. Vincil was given a big hand by the delegates. This committee also recommend ed that ail headquarters of the U. S Veterans' bureau be decentralized. It was recommended that the U. S. Vet eran's bureau purchase a tubercular I hospital site outside the city limits | of Portland. To send a patient to Walla Walla is an injustice when a | man has a family. With a hospital In Portland an Oregon man could have hia family with him.
