"i Commissioners receive a ri -r tne work of Improvl ig th from the engineering This report we very the county now favorably with mh.T urn throughout the I alcohol, gang murders, armed auto- moDues, nign powered nnes ana stills by the thousands, all of which were unknown before the 18th amendment "The time is fast approaching In- America when decisive and definite action must be taken. In my humble judgment the great mass of peo ple who devotedly believe that the American Legion la dedicated for God and country are looking for the legion to lead them out of the piti able morass of legal, moral and economic complications which have arisen under this amendment. They are asking some one to lead us but ot the wilderness ot misunderstand ing, hypocrisy and shame existing under this law." Norman C.

MacDonald, of Massachusetts, who opened the debate for the majority resolution, declared that "American institutions are in danger" as a result of prohibition and that the Legion properly should assume leadership in efforts to improve conditions which he described as a serious menace. "The government has been humbled," he said, "and has lost kontrol of one ot Its greatest in dustries and has lost a great source of revenue." Vincent Carroll, of Philadelphia, followed with a strong plea for the resolution. He declared that "what we want is not so much beer as the end of gang rule." "This is the time tor us to assume that leadership which is ex-pected of us," he said. "We want the expression that was denied to us when this thing was put over." Douglas Hudson of Kansas, was the first speaker on the other side of the issue. He declared that a vote for the referendum would be misinterpreted ss a vote for the return of beer.

The Kansas delegation, he said, opposed the resolution because of this possible misinterpretation that the Legion has adopted a mug of beer as its symbol. The text of the resolution adopted by the Legion followirr" "Whereas, the Eighteenth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States has created a condition endangering respect for law and the security of American Institutions, therefore be it resolved that the American Legion in this thirteenth annual convention assembled favors the submission by Congress of the repeal or modification of the present prohibition laws to the several States with a request that each State submit this question to the voters thereof." The vote came after a debate in which advocates of the resolution denounced conditions under prohibiten and asked the Legion to assume leadership in the fight to seek a change through referendum. The opposition argued that the Legion should take no stand. It was the first time prohibition came before the Legion's national convention in its 18 years of history. An effort to have the issue thrown off the floor under a ruling that it Is political and outside ot the constitutional scope of the Legion's activities failed.

While saying that personally he believed there are many "mush more important matters which should properly occupy our time," Commander Ralph T. O'nell ruled that there was.no doubt but that the resolution nad been "properly presented." The vote on the referendum proposition by departments was as Against Arkansas, Kansas, Mississippi, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Wyoming 8.

Demands Face Value Representative Wright Patman, of Texas, took the platform in behalf of a resolution asking immediate payment of the face value of veter.

ans' bonus certificates. Patman followed other Legion members who supported a minority report of the legislative committee which would place the Legion on record, as favoring Immediate payment as a beneficial act at this time not only to veterans, but to the cltltens of the country at large. Not "Unreasonable" The majority of the committee had proposed a resolution calling upon every able bodied man to "refrain from placing unneccessary financial burden on the National, State or Municipal Governments." Patman referred to Income tax refunds and other government expenditures in srgulng that the bonus payment was "not an unreasonable request." O. L. Kodenhamer, former National Commander of the Legion questioned the advisability of asking full bonus payment on the ground that it might jeopardize the efforts of the Legion on behalf of disabled veterans and other legislation on Its program.

He asked that no action be taken which would allow the "charge of selfishness" to be brought against the Legion. Favors Reorganisation The convention today went on record as favoring reorganisation of the council of national defense which was used just before and during the world war. The resolution adopted by the convention "respectfully requests the President to make use of this existing instrumentality, which has already proved its efficiency by actual operation and to direct its attention to the consideration of the fundamental causes responsible for ths existence of the present emergency and of the means to be adopted for their amelioration, both for the present and the future." 1 1 Infant Mourned Mary, aged four months, Infant daughter ot Mr. and Mrs. James Wilson, of 26 Cambra street, died in the family home at 11:15 o'clock last: night of bronchitis, following one week's illness.

24 Whether the administration will recommend tax revision Is expected to be decided within a month or six weeks. This became evident in high Treasury quarters today. Progress Is being made on the study being conducted by the department's economic experts, but the stage has not yet been reached when the final verdict has evidenced itself. It the decision turns out to be that revision will be recommended to Congress in December, the tax experts will have to draw the plan for submission to the Treasury, the budget bureau and the White House before the President could present it to Congress. The administration has sought to ajioid tax increases.

Though some believe revision ot the tax system js unavoidable, others take the view that the government could meet its deficit this year as it did last through an increase of the publlo debt and delay tax revision for another yesr. Treasury experts have for several months been canvassing possible sources of new revenue to replace or supplement Income taxes, because of the tremendous drop in that source of revenue which has formed the backbone of the government's tax system. Following a drop of $550,000,000 in income tax collections in the last year, the payments in the first quarter of the 1932 fiscal year which ends September 80 has shown a drop already ot or nearly half as much in a quarter of the year as waa shown in the entire preceding year. At the close of business on September 22, income tax collections for the fiscal year since July 1 have amounted to $305,594,578, as compared with $538,353,914 In the same period of the previous year. For the first 22 days ot this month, the collections have amounted to $259,016,112, as compared with $482,488,190 for the same number of days last year.

WIERSH1 Denver, Sept. 24. George W. former United States Attorney General and lay delegate to the Episcopal convention, believes the problem now confronting the country is to provide every able and willing worker a job. Speaking before a mass meeting sponsored by the Christian social service department of the Episcopal Church, here last night, Wick ersham asserted the world owes every man, not a living, but the opportunity to make a living.

"We cannot lift ourselves out of our depression." he said, "by squandering millions of dollars, on engines of warrarernoer yetln.the Indiscriminate largesse of bonuses and pensions. Nor does the way to prosperity lie through general alms giving." HAS CAPITAL Washington, Sept. 24. (P) A traveling salesman has set capital aoclety oft on a manhunt. Charles Dawson Is his name.

He ts also known as Charles, Prince of Belgium, Count of Flanders, and second son ot King Albert Although the Belgian embassy admits Charles is in Washington, it declined to reveal his whereabouts. So hosts and hostesses alike are conducting their own quest for the young man who has traveled about the United States incognito, as a salesman.
