LEGION MEET
STORY
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE I)
veution swung into action following
the fonnnl opening. Committees of
both the lesion and the auxiliary were
organized and ordered to report back
tomorrow.
All attention was turned this after
noon to tlie tin Kenan cnanipioiiMiip
series between Wondburn nnd Kugene
In the first game and Hood lliver and
Port In ml In the second.
The climax of today's events will
come tonight with the official legion
parade. Dm in corps contests, baseball
and tho continuation of business ses
sions will be the order for tomorrow.
The first and paramount duty of
the lesion, the national adjutant said,
is to serve the truly disabled veterans
and war dependents. ''When the le
gion fails to protect the men wounded
in battle, or disabled in the field of
service actually and truly service
connected," he said, "then, and then
alone the American Legion fails to
justify its existence."
The national organization of the le
gion "came to the crossroads," Sam
uel said, with the passing of the econ
omy net In the short session of con
gress. He said he holds no brief, "and
I believe no ether right thinking le--gionnaire
holds a brief, for the in
equalities, that existed In some of the
previous legislation." These inequali
ties, he said, were first recognized by
the rehabilitation service workers of
the legion, "in fact, the legion has al
ways sought to correct Injustices and
nhvnys placed a man who is suffering
disabilities due directly to war ser
vice, obove and beyond every other
consideration."
Some inequalities crept Into those
benefits, Samuel observed, nnd he de
clared "the Legion is ns much oppos
ed to those who take advantage of
technicalities as anyone." ,
Samuel said the legion itself sought
to make corrections of inequalities
through sifting all legislation already
enncted and lcgifdation about to lie
introduced for the benefit of veter
ans, so as to eliminate therefrom any
injustices, either to the veterans or
to the government.
Before this legislative work could
be completed, he said, congress wiped
out all the laws and the legion took
this action "on the chin." The' legion
then, ha said, "immediately declared
its implicit faitb and, trust in our pres
ident and offered its steadfast
devotion and its utmost help to the
president in solving this problem
whieh congress laid at his feet."
Samuel emphasized to' the Oregon
THE EUGENE
legion members that "leas than ten
per cent of the men who have ever
received compensation from our gov
eminent are members of the Amerl
can Legion." He said this fact is the
most forceful argument In the legion
work on behalf of the disabled, a it
is self-evident proof that the legion
program is entirely unselfish."
Road Matters Are
Talked With County
J. K. Turnbull, chairman of ti.e Eu
gene chamber of commerce roads and
highways committee, and Carl G.
Wushburne, member of the state high
way commission, were in Albany Wed
nesday, conferring with Linn county
officials on road matters, particularly
on the old prospect of a road leading
out from Mabel in Lane county as a
short-nit connecting with Linn county
near Crawford villa uud Sweet liume. .
Only an informal discussion was ;
held and no action of any sort taken,
Mr. Turnbull said. There is no reason !
to believe that the counties can even
consider doing anything ou the pro
ject for at least a year from now, be
cause of lack of money, Mr. Turnbull
said.
The matter is entirely a matter for
the counties, the highway department
of the state having nothing to do with
rhe proposal. The presence of Mr.
Washburne at the discussion was
merely as an interested onlooker.
since, as a member of the highway
commission he is interested in various
road projects about the state, Mr,
rurnbull said.

And values, such as these, being shown at this

fine quality clothes in the face of a rapidly rising
