AMERICAN I LiEGtON DOING ITS PART AND
. , j SOMETHING BESIDES
" ' Ah old philosopher ;once 'said, "Most men do their duty
lin this world. Same men do justla little bit more. And it is
the men who do the little bit more who move the world." r ;
(" - - A few days ago Eugene Post j of The American Legion at
, Eugene, Oregon, sent 'national headquarters $75 for the great
endowment project for Ithe disabled and the orphan. And
C. IL Berry Post at fTairtaqua, Pennsylvania, sent its check
for $17.13 for the furidJ; i 1 .!
i These posts iad not-been solicited,5 The movement had
hot officially begun, j They simply read in the newspapers
about the project qTieitftvish to support it did the rest.
JvThese posts ire Coyijosed of men Who do just a little bit
"more., . And they are! typical of the Legion. It is men like
these who make up the; Legion. When this splendid move
ment, is fully under jyi ! with1 Legionnaires everywhere
tho il htlduMAmerica will know the true heart
of theLegion; it !wiilk

greatest war of, all time they

The above is from the
Legion News Service bulletin,
priocipal reasons--? '1 ; J V ) m ' ' ' -s' "
First, on " account iof j the ' deserved compliment to an
Oregon post. 14 another paragraph jof ' the News Service
bulletin quoted it is ! learned that the jEugene post and the
one mentioned irk Pennsylvania were the very first to send
contributions to :thie; proposed $5,000,000 fund. They
sUrted it. V; fh t.tlj.!i.;: - J v-- t '- - ' ;
Second, to call attention to tiie undertaking itself. The
! American Legion; has started a ptoject ,f or Wising an 'endow
ment fund of $5,000,000, the income from which is to go to
: the relief ;and support of disabled World war veterans and
their orphans ; td continue as long as there is any need for
sucn renei ana support, i
Third, to endorse the sentiment:, "That Legionnaires
iti firriP nf war An their tiart and something besides, just as
in the greatest war oi all time they gave an added bit in devo.
,tionand sacrifi." 1 ' i t
It is a wonderful thing for this country to have such an
organization as the American Legion, dedicated to the best
traditions and the highest; ideals of American life and living
hi i 'Agreatvirile;i kctiye powerful force" for gobi in the
iUnited' States; si devoted body that will keep the fires of.
patriotism burning; that will hold high the torch that fell

for service ; for jukice and decency and unselfishness
. And a bodjH nien; who will stand against the encroach

MODIFVIXQ THE HILL,
- It will be recalled that the Mc-
Nary-llatigen bill had rough sail-
. - . -. ....-... .
Ing always and was finally killed.
It was regarded as too paternal
istic. It was a bill ; that used the
machinery of the government to
help the , farmers out of - a hole.
In deference to congressional sen
timent the bill Is to be modified,
It proposes an advance of, $50.'
000,000 by the war finance cor
poration to a proposed export cor
poration. The $50,000,000 thus
borrowed Is eventually to be re
turned from commlasion fees col
lected from the producers. The
new bill was introduced In the
senate Saturday by. Senator Mc-
Nary. - " '- :
y - Tnere - will be a rood many
changes, one of which Is the price
ratio Jteature of the original bill
That was objected to as price fix
ing legislation and -had much to
do with its defeat, - If the "principle
of the bill offers relief to the far
mers, . this bill may stand some
chance. " j
The fuU text- of the amended
McXary-Haugen bill is not at hand
but it Is clear that it. falls con
siderably short of the scope of the
original measure. Apparently the
proposed export corporation would.
function as a government broker
age concern helping American pro
ducers to find the best markets
for their surplus abroad. All sem
blance of price-fixing has been
eliminated. ' ; ' ' :
Just how Important this de
horned, bill is, and whether it can
command the support of the farm
organisations remains to be seen
The farmers could not agree upon
the other bill, and as quickly as
the farmers ; were divided, of
course the opponents straightway
got busy and took this as authority
to kill the bill.
PARTY RESPONSIBILITY
Unquestionably If we are to have
a party government we must have
party responsibility. ; We feel the
lack of this In Oregon , 'because
there Is no such thing as a party
platform upon .; which the : party
stands. However, the independent
action noted in Oregon Is not con
fined to this state. ; It is every
where. Party ties bind but light
ly:- :-; : ..: : '
The action of the senate' Ia
Washington, excluding the La Fol
lette members from party coun
cil ha now been followed by a
Fimilar action on the part of the
house. The Idea is to strengthen
party organization, and -party loy
alty. The republicans believe that
having carried an unusual diffi
cult election ! with an overwhelm
ing majority that- It Is pretty
good time to clean house. ;
Of course If 'we are to havtra
two-party government we can not
be too particular In selecting the
members of our party. ' We must
make: n appeal for votes, but
there is a slight difference be
tween the party voters and the
party leaders. Unquestionably the
president's program t can not be
carried through unless he inspired
party loyalty and party support.
If the men who were off the res
ervations last fall continue off,
they will be trouble-makers; but
the party division 1 is ;so poorly
marked In the senate that it is
liable to cause a world of trouble.
ONE IS ENOUGH
An argument in favor of ad
ditional normal schools is-that the
patronage comes from only a shorf
distance and therefore If there is
only one normal we can not hope
to ' hare the same attendance we
would have if there were three or
four. So much for that. - '' '.
There is now agitation for an
other penitentiary. Certainly th
one we have Is .well enough pa
tronized. It Isn't much bother for
prisoners to come here. In fact
they are all brought here and
some of them stay quite a 'while.
We do. not need a penitentiary to
draw or attract. What we need
a penitentiary for Is to punish, to
deprive men of their "liberty for
infractions of the law. All the
arguments in favor of additional
normal schools are '.against ad
ditional penitentiaries: - When Or
egon gets large enough we may
have ' a ! branch penitentiaryii tout
with less than 5 Oil prisoners here
it' does seem as though we ought
to be able to worry along with
one penitentiary, at least , untU
taxes get lower. . f
RAISING THE TARIFF
The announcement that, thje
cherry men of the Pacific coast
will meet in Portland on Monday
means that at last the cherry In
terests have realized - their ' pre
carious situation. Had this fight
been made when the" tariff bill
was pending. It could? have . been
won easily. Certain people would
have seen the necessity of , It and
made the fjghttha best they could
but it is impossible to arouse- pub
lic support because the cherry
growers did not realize their dan
ger.
. '
Accordtos tD trcri recelvea,
California. Oregon , - Washington
and- Idaho - growers associations
will all be represented 'arid it Is
planned to get a permanent . or
ganization on the'epast. Only by
such means can we Influence con
gress. Associations acting indl
vidually i can - not get anywhere,
but. if they go together' they can
certainly be Btrong enough to get
justice done to the cherry grow
ers. . '
HURTIXa HYGIENE SOCIETY
The social hygfene society of
Oregon Is not satisfied with the
proposal to cut the appropriation
as they need more money to. carry
on their work adequately. The
former appropriation wai ?$ SO,-
000 for the biennliim. This year
they are asking. $45,000. and the
committee Is recommending' only
$15,000, which would kill the
work.. , , ,,, -i
. j. The social hygiene society Is
doing an Important ' work -and it
either, ought to b supported
quately or cut off altogether. To
leave it crippled means that noth
ing worth while ' can ' be accom
plished. If It is a good thing It
ought to be given living support
If it is a bad thing It ought to
be cut off entirely. ..All the In
formation at band Indicates that
the society is serving the people
of Oregon well and is worthy of
continued support.
IT MAY BE
There hag been a great deal of
talk about the war between 1 the
governor and the legislature ' and
it may be that the Port" of Port
land coup was. really , a sort of
throwing to the wolves something
to satisfy the legislature. That
was the main thought of the first
half of the legislature. If this-
satisfied those who are thirsting
for the blood of the governor, of
course It will be worth it. The
governor may feel that he can af
ford to be overridden In this if it
does satisfy his enemies.
Desnite all the soft words, a
good many members of the legis
lature came to Salem thirsting for
gore and that gore was the gov
ernor's.: The soft glove contained
a mailed fist, and that mailed fist
has been "getting pretty" busy re
cently.::"- : " ' -
GOOD ENOUGH
The conviction , of Charles R.
Forbes, following that of Gaston
Means is wholesome for the pub
lic welfare. These two men are
bad actors In entirelydlfferentj
ways. Forbes. was supposed to.be
a respectable citizen and yet fcla
conduct was about the worst of
any man In the war,' and since in
reconstruction. Means never had
any character. - He was always a
fly-by-night, and his conviction
surprised nobody. The wonder is
that he has kept out of the peni
tentiary as lone as he has. The
conviction of these two .men will
have a good effect in that Jt will
satisfy the criticism that it la possible-
to besj the courtsl r-These
men fought determinedly, bnt law
and order has triumphed and they
will pay the" penalty "'
OQMPLJMENTTNa THE SOVIETS
The charge that "the child ; wel
fare amendment was conceived In
soviet Russia Is , the only, good
thing we have heard of coming out
of that country, and the men who
are r thus complimenting . Russia
are doing it not for the purpose of

THOUGHTS FOR . EVERY DAY.
By Editor J. B. Parker of The
. Convay-(Arkansas) Jiewa
'As long as one can enjoy a
hearty laugh, and Jove little chil-
aren, one remains young even
M , t T
though the years do pile up." .
That wholesome thought ' came
from a loyal woman reader of this
newspaper, and it is a good one
to cop jure by to keep the system
in Its best , condition. ; I
A . hearty laugh , betokens a
healthy heart and mind always;
and . whenever you meet such a
person ' the laugh Is contagious.
So If you are a grouch and desire
to avoid Infection get away from
a good laugh as fast as yon can.
And the lover of little children
is always a well-balanced .person
because to really love little chil
dren and- being readjr to sacrifice
for. them, la" akin to a: heavenly
temperament. ? :.-i--.
And ; you . worriers . about ,"old
e creeping over you. Just 'take
the never-falling antidote given at
the top of these thoughts and you
win be delightfully surprised to
learn how young , you really are
and what real Joy goes along with
hearty laugh and the sincere
ovlng of little children.

Partial deductions' are allowed
with respect to specific debts only..
A valid debt proved to be worth
less may not always be a : proper
deduction. For example, unpaid
amounts representing- wages, rent
als, or similar items are not al
lowed as deductions unless, Includ
ed as gross income in, the credi

the deduction ; Is sought or in a
previous year.! The fact that ex
pected income was not received
does not reduce the amount of
taxable income of the creditor. .
Unpaid loans made" to needy
relatives or friends with little or
no expectation that hey would be
repaid are not deductible, but are
regarded as gi!ts. '-j
