HAVE TO LEARN 340 NEW LAWS BEFORE FRIDAY LEGION EXECUTIVE WANS PRAISE HER A of by of C.

EIGHTY-THIRD YEAR FAIR PLAY FOR VETS, PLEA OF LOUIS JOHNSON Tax-Exempt Securities one Bar to Equality Says Chief of Legion 15 per Cent Limitation was Hope but Action Friday Prevented, States If the United States government is to economize in veterans' relief costs, let it first call in its tax-exempt securities so that the rich man shall be taxed pro rata with the dollars of the poor man and let it eliminate services that are not needed, Louis A. Johnson, national commander of the American legion, declared here last night. A crowd that virtually filled the armory floor and balconies heard the commander deliver his official Oregon address. "To me," he said, "the greatest crime of the "World war was the Issuance by our federal government of tax-exempt securities. almost half the wealth of this country is invested in tax-exempt securities.

Let our government call in these tax-exempt securities so that the rich man Bhall be taxed pro rata with the poor man, even the income taxes which the New York bankers don't pay, to carry on this government of ours." Garner Prevents limit on Reduction When the United States senate Friday considered limiting the size of cuts in disability compensation and pensions, senators friendly to veterans Intended to defeat the 25 per cent limitation so that they could effect 15 per cent restriction on reductions hut Vice-President Garner swung the vote against them, Johnson averred. Pointing out that the president has ordered a careful of veterans' affairs, Commander Johnson said he had faith and hope that the truly disabled men of America would "receive the consideration to which they are entitled." The national commander said the legion is opposed to "gold-brlckers" on the veterans' list and that the legion stands dedicated to keep them off so that when the new regulations are set up the truly disabled men will be respected by the people of America. "These 'goldbrlckers' are continually being paraded to the detriment of the truly disabled," he asserted. Veterans Should Tnite Against Graft "Wherever there is corruption or graft or fraud and extravagance in America, let ns in the name of our disabled men clean it out and do a good Job," Commander Johnson pleaded. Thousands of unnecessary pamphlets are printed and mailed at government expense, the speaker declared.

"A fair sample of one of those pamphlets is one on the love of a bull-frog." Loud applause greeted Commander Johnson when he added: "If we are going to have economy in America at the expense of the veteran, then we want to hear nothing, more about the sex- life of bull-frogs." Aside from veterans' relief matters, Commander Johnson repeated his organization's stand on na tional defense and asserted the legion had been instrumental in preventing drastic reductions in army appropriations and is now working to forestall a cut due July 1. Navy of V. S. Should Be Second to None And "the navjy of Uncle Sam must be second to no other navy In the world," Commander Johnson demanded. The United States would have to construct 135 ships to bring Its navy up to treaty strength whereas Japan needs but six more ships, he asserted.

Referring to the legion's Americanization program, the speaker said his organization was fighting communism and had broken a threatened communfstio uprising in Salt Lake City. He decried recognition of Soviet Russia because of its alleged propagandistic activities. "To ns the sanctity of our government is worth a damn sight more than a few dollars in trade with the Soviet government." Calling for public faith in the American legion, the national commander said in conclusion: "The American legion is going right down the middle of the broad highway that is America, with but two guideposts, those fixed by the preamble to the constitution of the American legion, God on the one hand and Coun- try 4n the other." HELD FOR FEDERALS City police early today were holding James Walter Sepek, who gave his address as Salem, for the United States department of justice, they reported. Sepek was ar- rested by A. F.

Merriott, federal prohibition agent. The charge against him was sot divulged. Morning, June 4, 1933 ROOSEVELT TO PLEAD REPEAL BELIEF Antl Prohibition Leaders In dry and Doubtful States ask aid Indiana, Vote This Week Is Expected to be Close; Illinois Ballots WASHINGTON, June 3 (AP) direct appeal to the states to carry out the democratic campaign pledge and ratify repeal of the prohibition amendment is expected of President Roosevelt by democratic leaders. With seven states already in line for repeal and two others to vote on the question next members from dry and doubtful states have appealed to Mr. Roosevelt to join his postmaster general and national committee chairman James A.

Farley in making a personal appeal for action. They have gained the impression that he will do so. Already the president has obtained a provision in the tax section of the industrial recovery bill which will eCow the abolition of the special taxes it carries when and if revenues begin to flow into the treasury through a reinstatement of the liquor taxes that obtained before prohibition. Mid-western democrats have urged that the president speak his mind before Indiana votes next week. Southerners have asked that he make the appeal before Alabama steps out July 18 as the first southern state to vote.

Illinois will vote with Indiana next week. Twenty-three other states have set their voting; dates definitely for this year and there is a possibility of action by the 36 necessary to ratify before the end of the year.
