Tho following statement huH boon Indued by Cotntiminlor Drain: Hero is another job that Is up lo tho American Legion: Not more than forty-nine percent of American citizens of voting ago go to the poIIh and vote on election clay. That mcanH about half of the citizens, hy recent (lection returnH, are civic idiirkers, and Ichm than half , meet their responsibilities a.s citl.enS. The governing power of thlH coun try lies in It.s citizenship In the same place that Its military power lies. l!ack In 1 0 1 7 -1 S we knew ull about tho obligation of military norvice; may ho in t hose days of peace we have not glvon enough thought to tho obligation of service hh citizens. Such an obligation exists. This Is a government of the people, by the people, for the people, as Abraham Lincoln pointed out. , JluL when the making and operation of the govern ment Is left to a minority It becomes something less. Vn cannot long maintain a Helf govorning republic and pi osorvo lib erty when we let a few do all 'the governing. And that is what wo havo been doing. Voting is n way for the citizen to show what kind of govern ment he wants. That is tho certain, fair and effective mettirtd provided. When be falls to vote ho becomes a j political zero. iy neglect ho joopar- dizes tho liberty for which our fore- ! fathers fought and died, and for j which wo ourselves mado no small ' sacrifices. It Is the manifest duty of every qualified citizen to bear his share In the business of governing. Tho first and most Important part of this duty Is to participate In elections of public officers. Those officers are responsi ble to the people who elect them, not to any one else. Keep that til mind. It isn't of so much Importance, for which of the many candidates for public office you vote as that you vote for the candidates who represent what you believe to ho for the best Interests of tho whole body of t he people. Make up your mind on this basis t he genera I good. And vote! Now for the Immediate Job of tho American Legion. , I L is to make sure that there are no civic ulaeltm-H ;l uiong legionnaires on elect ion day; I hat the membership of t ho legion has a perfect score for good citizen ship in this test, for It is a real and Important test. There Is something more. The American Legion, with members In practically every voting precinct In the country, potentially Is tho great est of nil forces for good citizenship. Hy example and intelligent effort it can enlarge t he popular u ml erst n nd ing of what it means to bo a eilWon of the United States, it Is your duty, legionnaires, to drive home upon the Indifferent and I he rurorvss the fact that a citizen has duties and respons lbitles as well as privileges, ami that unless these duties and responsibil ities HIV Intelligently c'erri.sed, this good government cannot long exist.. m1 CMICACO.

Oregon's AN EFFORT is being made to wreck Oregon's existing Workmen's Compensation Law through the initiation of the so-called Compulsory and Constitutional Amendment to the Workmen's Compensation Law. This amendment was initiated by a small group of professional agitators of Portland and appears on Tuesday's ballot under Nos. 310 and 311. This astounding measure boldly demands that Oregon's working people and her indus tries shall surrender their basic American Rights of fair hearing and appeal to a jury. In its place it creates a super-government of three men, with powers to forceOregon's farmers to contribute to the state accident fund, and submit to the dictation of this super commission which would have FINAL authority, and from whose rulings our farmers, working people and industries would have NO APPEAL. Furthermore it -would practically WRECK the present good law, and nullify the many years of earnest constructive endeavor.

A three-man political commis sion would be created with legis lative, judicial and executive powers, that would be above the law answerable to no other authority the only judge and jury of its own actions. This fi nality of power would take from the working men, farmers and in dustries their basic rights of appeal and of fair hearing before a jury. It could make its compensation awards to injured men as little as it pleased, arbitrarily raise farmers' and workmen's rates or refuse to extend medical treat ment No appeal to an American jury from such action could be taken by either. It would automatically create a state medical and hospital trust because the amendment forces the injured man to receive treat ment from doctors and at hos pitals of the commission's choos ing, or go without such treatment. 5 6 7 8 It would wreck the present good compensation law, which guar antees every working man spe cific compensation and proper care, when injured, replacing this certain protection with the arbitrary rules of three men, who could as easily be unfair as they could be just. It would again mark the return of ambulance-chasing and shyster lawyers, who prior to the opera tion of the present compensation law, waxed fat on the misfor tunes of the laboring man. It would take from the state legislature all power to correct any evils in the law. It would give politicians such" dangerous powers that conditions could easily be made intolerable for our working people, our farmers and our industries. There is no need for the amend ment. The present law is a good law. Everybody knows that the rates for compensation are now specifically fixed by law, and unfair treatment- can be dealt with by an appeal to i jury.
