Editor's Note Hanford MacNid er is known to all Americans as the active head of the American Legion. His war record is a fine one and to that he is steadily adding a record for clean leadership of a powerful organization. The American Legion must be counted in on every national activity or movement. The men of the Legion believe in and trust Com mander MacNider. As an American you can do the same in reading the following. The guiding motive of the Ameri can Legion is to keep alive at least some part of the wonderful spirit of service that animated everyone in 1917 and 1918. If even a flicker of that spirit can be preserved and turn ed to good account Legion men feel that their organization will not have nnt11" "'"" """" wrrMti h 1 1 nil m irowMnmuMBflMPmBfr i The Corner Stone In every structure is a headstone from which is detimined its strength. lu the structure of savings it is tried and proved i'o which stands for all that is safest and soundest. A young artist unversed in financial matters returned home from a business trip to find his mother had invested her savings in a promotion enterprise which offered a very tempting 9f0. "It's no good," he said. "But you don't know about it yet," said the mother. "I know that any 'outside' investment wherein anyone with small capital can buy stock and which offers more than 6 has an el ement of risk in it which you can ill afford," he replied. Two years later events forced the mother to sell and after all the "special clauses" had been observed, the interest she received on her money was less than 2Vi- WE PAY 4 PER CENT ON SAVINGS.

The Le gion has already succeeded in pass ing or is working to pass in every state school laws covering the teach- i ing of the American constitution. It is working to build up in the coming j generation vivid realization of what j American citizenship is, what Am jcriean insittutions are and how and why they should be respected. Many states already are carrying out in the schools complete programs written by the Legion which will inspire a new kind of citizenship in the years that are not far away. The Legion is working actively to combat radicalism. It has taken an active and very influential stand against class and sect selfishness and intolerance in every form. The Le gion is working toward the passage of adequate military and naval de fense for the country. Work Is Practical. The Legion's work is very practi cal and not visionary and it is local in thousands of American com munities and not merely national. Almost everyone of the 11,000 Le gion posts can show concrete exam ples of good work done for the com munity. Out in Kansas, a post ad opts a Boy Scout troop ; in Wisconsin the Legion raises $85,000 to buy a education and citizenship of an alien who had worn the American uni form ; in Missouri, a post plants trees on a highway; in New York, the Legionr aises -85,000 to buy a sanitarium for the tubercular ex service men. The examples are myriad. Then there is the Interallied Vet erans Federation, that was practi cally sponsored by the Legion. It is a dream but it is near to coming true and its possibilities are far-reaching. atives of ex-service men's organiza-! tions in all the allied countries. It aims at such an interchange of ideas and such a preservation of the spirit of comradeship of the war, that con flict or even ill will between late allies must be impossible. The Federation has ma.de great trides in organization. It has ex pected that even more will be accom plished after the convention of dele gates from the alied countries in New Orleans in October, just prior to the Legion fiational convention. The Legion has always been first in the fight to obtain justice for the disabled of the late war. Surely, it a genuine community service for the Legion to lead the way in de manding proper care for those com rades of ours who came home blind, maimed and broken in health and body and who must live the war for even in the homes. and hospitals of our country. Gave Their Best. These men gave their best that all of us might enjoy continued safety and citizenship in this country of ours. Certain organizations ana few individuals have succeeded in arousing some interest in behatf of the disabled veterans but the Anv erican Legion, backed up by the press of the country, has not only written, pushed but actually put through Congress every bit of legis lation for the disabled man. It is perfectly safe to say that had it not been for the Legion, the shameful neglect and disgraceful treatment of these men would still exist.

Legion men were told at their first convention that national legislators wanted to know the best way to ad just the pay of the service men. They said they realized this should be done but had nearly a hundred bills before them and wanted the thought of the Legion. Then the Legion wrote the five-fold compensation bill and turn ed it over without recommendations. Then, from thousands of platforms all over the country, the men who are now representing us down in Washington promised these four mil lion men that they were going to fulfill an obligation. They put the entire returned service population in the state of mind where they feel that they have been promised some thing and now are in danger of having the promise repudiated. Put Them to Work. Through the efforts of the Legion it now appears that this promise will not be repudiated. Recently the Legion has been bending all its efforts to put every returned service man to work. The Legion believes this man should have a chance to earn an honest living and lead a useful life in the nation he offered hisl ife to save. Itis the nation's business that this be done The Legion has been wonderfully successful in this effort and feels that it has accomplished something that rebounds to the credit of the whole nation. The American Legion knows no class, sect, creed or division except between the loyal and disloyal and the constructive and destructive citi zens. Its members feel sure that no greater field for service to the coun try exists than through such a med mm.

The forest service places its own signs, which are lways small, within the National Forests but the whole idea of these signs is service to the traveling public, or cautionary signs reminding the public to be careful with fire in the forest. Forest officers in some parts of the Northwset are bothered by irrespon sible persons defacing, cutting or tearing down these government signs or notices. This is a violation of a government regulation and can be prosecuted as a trespass, Mr. Cecil pointed out. Homey Philosophy for 1922 Since the truth is best, we had ra ther inquire than argue.

H. Cecil at Portland, Oregon. The regulations governing the use of National Forest lands prohibit the mutilation, defacement or destruc tion of objects of natural beauty or of scenic value on such lands; and incidentally provide for legal action towards penalties for violation. Only those signs which are well construct ed and sightly will be allowed. All persons who have already posted signs on National Forest land will be requested either to remove them, or else, obtain written permission trom a forest officer to continue them. "The position of the forest service is that the National Forests at least advertising signs and only such signs and notices as are actually of assist ance to the public should be allow ed, and these to be small," said Mr. Cecil. The indiscriminate placing of ad ertising signs and billboards along the roads of the country has defaced much of the beauty of the natural landscape, and campaigns against the practice have been waged from time to time in most parts of the United States. The matter is of moment not onlv to those whose enjoyment of we lose an argument than when we win one, because when we lose we learn something, while when we win we only add to our vanity, which is always more than sufficient for our own good.

The cry should not be against high taxes, but against the corrupt use of taxes. The' question of high or low taxes is ; ancj national governments 30 per to some extent governed by the valuation put upon property from the public treasury. Crush the socialistic, paternal spirit grow ing up in this country, whether in the form of pork barrel or gov ernment ownership of public util ities. All such unconstitutional doctrine and practices are in creasing the taxes to the breaking point. The continued excessive tax burdens can be traced to certain abuses: First: Extravagant, complicated governments. The office seekers, office holders, and tax eaters have multiplied government machinery to perpetuate themselves in office. If you would reduce the machin ery and throw out of office the in efficient, rat-hole hunting office cent, lo-day, you have about sixty cents of every dollar of tax money invested in government, and the other forty cents is repre sented by waste, fraud, inefficien cy and graft. The bureaucracy of this coun try is a curse to good government and a criminal expense upon the tax-ridden public. Simplify gov ernmental machinery and put competent men in office and taxes will be reduced 30 per cent with in a short time. Second: Destroy the spoils sys tem. Elect or appoint men solely on the ground of merit. Then you will get an honest day's work for true love of country and a just consideration of the trust imposed. Third: Teach the people thev parasites you would reduce the, must support the government and cost or municipal, county, state not expect support. Heppner Oregon
