The slate convention of
n it

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.

Seaside was selected as the con
vention city for 1933.
The dates
were set for the 6. * and 8 of Sep
tember.
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.
