The annual convention of the American Legion this year will be held In Southern Oregon In Klam ath Palla. The date are Auguat 10, 11 and 13. IT IS expected In Klamath Palla that the attendance thla year will b. somewhere around 3,000. Thla 1 a low estimate, taking Into consid eration the condition of the times, which may restrict people's Inclina tion to travel this year, and the location of Klamath Falls at the extreme southern border of the state. Attendance at state conventions In other years has run as high, as 10. 000. So 3,000 seems a reasonable expectation. The majority of these visitors, on their way to Klamath, will paas through the remainder of Southern Oregon. Many of them will atop at other Southern Oregon cities on their way there and back. IN MANY ways, this convention will be unique. It is the first convention of the American Legion ever held In Ore gon where the business men were not asked to underwrite the oost. The Legion post at Klamath Palls Is financing it wholly without as sistance. No business house will be asked to contribute a cent, except for the decoration of lta own prem ises. ' The decorations are owned by the Legion post, and will be supplied at eost to the business houses.' In this way, the cost of decorating the city attractively will be kept low. IN STILL another way this conven tion will be unique. It was ob tained without a struggle handed to Klamath, as a matter of fact, on a silver platter. That came about In this way: Por-many , years, the, right- of Klamath Falla to the state conven tion of the American Legion has been conceded, but aa long aa the beauti ful Legion Memorial building there remained unpaid for the local post did not put In Its bids for the state convention. Several years ago, how ever, payment for the memorial was completed, and at once the local post began building up a fund for the convention. By last year, this fund had reach ed a total of approximately $4,000. AT THE atate convention at Port land last year, nobody wanted the 1033 session. It meant a lot of money, and everybody feared that a, lot of money couldnt be raised in 1033. So Klamath Falls stepped Into the breach, and ACCEPTED the respon sibility. T'HE Klamath Legionnaires see In tne convention an opportunity to bring to the attention of the rest of Oregon the marvelous scenic beauties of the whole Southern Ore gon country. Crster Lake, Diamond lake, Upper Klamath lake, Lake of the Woods, the lava beds, the Wood River val ley, the Indian writings at Tule lake all these attractions will be made available to visitors during the three dsys of the convention. Can will be- provided to take EVERYBODY every place he wants to go and to remain as long as he wants to stay. Visitors will be shown the great Klamath country In such a way that they will never forget it. In this way. It Is hoped, tourist travel to this region will be stimu lated for years to come. ' j IN every way possible, the resources of the Klamath country are to be stressed during the convention. The hedges, for example, will be made of thin strips of pine wood, with a pine tree printed on the badge. The programs, also, are to be printed on thin strips of pine, fastened together with a rivet to make a unique souvenir. Csnes of pine, with a pelican, the patron bird of the Klamath coun try, at the top, serving cleverly as a handle, wilt be provided. Nobody is to be permitted to forget that Klam- (Continued on Page 8tx) Chinese Bandits Die CANTON China.

P) Amid cries of "bad faith" and "repudia tion," the senate today gave ftnM congressional approval to the admin istration's resolutions permitting pay ment of all contracts in legal tendsr money. An overwhelming coalition of Dem ocrats and western Republicans dro?e through a vote of 48 to 20 the meas ure requested by the administration, eliminating the gold payment re quirement from all contracts, public and private, either present of future, This means that war debts, mort gages and liberty bonds as well us all other governmental and private obligations, may be settled in leg.il tender money, obviating the require ment that gold shall be used. The resolution had already passed the house and needs only the signa tures of Vice President Garner and Speaker Rainey before going to the White House. Two attempts to modify the meas ure by eliminating Its retroactive fea tures, and to exclude governmental obligations, were .'ejected during a long day of debate. 48 to 21 and 38 W. 26, respectively. To protests that the resolution would call for repudiation of govern ment obligations, defenders replied that the welfare of the majority was supreme and that the government had the right to ibrogate contracts In carrying out ;ta constitutional function of regulating money. "For generations Americans will grow red around the ears when they think of the dishonest and dishonor able th ln th is congress d id ," the Pennsylvania Republican, Reed, told his colleagues. In reply. Senator Borah (R., Ida.) said "we must cease to pay tribute to the gold standard at the expenv of the American people." - "It has been said that this resolu tion is repudiation,"' Borah added "I'm not prepared to controvert that fact. But while tha bondholder has the technical right to demand pay ment in gold he must take his posi tion with the rest of the American people in the sacrifice they have been making in the last year and a half." Party lines were split as the sen ate argued over the honor and con stitutionality of the proposal. "If the government agreed to pay 25.8 grains of gold and pays less than 25.8 grains," senator Glass Virginia's former treasury secretary said, "it's repudiation." Another former Democratic secre tary of the treasury, McAdoo. (D., Cal.) -agreed with Barkeley's state ment that the gold clause was noth ing more than a "legal fiction." Chairman Fletcher of the bankln? committee opened the debate with n appeal for swift action in view cf prospective treasury financing, and said It would not cost any one any thing. He opposed elimination of the ret roactive provisions, saying this would "destroy the whole act." The final vote found four Repub licans, 43 Democrats and the lone Farmer Laborite.

' PURCHASE, N. T.. June 8 (AP) William Muldoon, mightiest man of the gas-lit 80s, sports' "solid man" of honesty and fairness for half s cen tury, died peacefully today at the health farm where he added years to the lives of thousands. He was 88 years old nine days ago. He met death with the same staunch fearlessness with which he fought through the Civil war, tamed the turbulent spirit of the great John L. Sullivan, ruled boxing in New York for ten years, and bent to his will such presidents as Theo dore Roosevelt, Taft, Elihu Root, Chauncey DePew and Edward H. Har- rlman when they came to his acres seeking health. A few days ago, after Gene Tunney, who was as close to him as a son, and other friends had visited with him on his birthday, he called his ado'pted daughter, Margaret Parrell Muldoon, and told her casually that he wasn't going to get well. He said he would march In a Dpcoratlon day parade with the few Grand Army veterans left. Then he'd lie down to die. But the inroads of cancer kept him abed, so when parade day came he could scarcely move. His last Illness dated back three years to a severe attack, of neurltisthat left him with little use of his right arm. A fall broke several ribs and injured him internally. Cancer developed and a palliantlve gland operation failed to bring relief. Up to the start of his decline. Mul doon was the martinet of sports, an aggressive, at times domineering character whose belief In the care and treatment of the human body was his religion, Postmaster General James A. Farley called him the "last link between the sports world of the past and present.' One of his sob riquets was taken from an old song, "Muldoon, the Solid Man," which did not however refer to him when it was written. To the sports writers nf decade on decade he was the "Old Roman."

After a cruise of the timber, the state park commission reached the following conclusions: That the strip adds greatly to tha beauty of the highway and Bhould be preserved, but does not have suffi cient recreational value to warrant Its acquisition by the state for a atate park. That every effort should be made to Induce the forest service to make an exchange of timber, thereby sav ing the strip in question.
