Points to Radicaltsm as Menace
to National Safety
Busy With Aid to
All Americans
By Hanford MacNider,
National Commander.
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

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-

; of service to national problems may
be known as Americanism. 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.
The adjusted compensation legis
lation did not originate with the Am-

As soon as the returns proved that Gifford Pinchot had imashed
the political machine of Pennsylvania, the most conservative strong
hold of the Republican party, the smile of victory illuminated the faces

encan Legion out witn congress.
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

. 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.

WILL PRESERVE NORTH
WEST SCENIC BEAUTY
Persons who wish to place adver
tising signs within the National For
ests of Oregon and Washington must
obtain permission from a forest offi
cer, states District Forester Geo. 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

always more than sufficient for our
own good. Entering into an argu

HIGH TAXES
i ' lVu'J
The universal cry is against
high taxes. 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.
