Legion Lays Matter of Bonus Before Folks Here in Anaheim Anaheim Post No. 72, American Legion Department, California, desiring to lay before the people of Anaheim and vicinity facts and figures relative to the Adjusted Compensation Bill, commonly beferred to as the Bonus Bill, now pending in Congress, herewith present their statement, and invite the true light of day investigation into the same. It goes, as we believe, without doubt that the average American citizen is in favor of an Adjusted Compensation Bill, which will in a small way liquidate the nation's obligation to the ex-service men, the average American citizen has repeatedly expressed his desire for such a Compensation Measure for the past four years. It might now be interesting to you to know why your desires and expressed wishes have never been fulfilled. The first argument that was given for a postponement of an Adjusted Compensation was because the Liberty Bonds were some twelve to fifteen points below par, and we could not jeopardize the credit of the nation, or the investments of our bondholders by voting an additional bond issue. In other words the 100 per cent, American who did his bit in the defense of our country by buying bonds, which in itself was a patriotic duty and which was necessary to carry on the war, must be reimbursed to the full extent before the service men who had merely offered his life on the basis of $50.00 a month could be taken care of. That argument against Adjusted Compensation is now nil as our Liberty bonds are at par and above. Then the question arises again of an Adjusted Compensation Bill out another argument was proposed, again for the postponement of Adjusted Compensation to the effect that when England began making payments upon her loans, we could then take care of the ex-service men. Then England had agreed to pay $160,000,000.00 or more annually for the next sixty-two years, we were again face to face with the grave crisis in the financial affairs of our country, that of a deficit of $650,000,000.00, this information coming from the Treasury department, of which our friend Secretary Melton is a guiding hand, but low and behold our fiscal year terminated in a $270,000,000 surplus. The issue of an Adjusted Compensation Bill is now again before Congress. The opposition searching here and there have been unable to furnish us with any further evidence than the excuse of reduction of taxes to defeat the proposed bill. Secretary Melton, the leader of the opposition says that we can not have reduction of taxes and Adjusted Compensation. Yet in his report, he gives figures showing the above mentioned treasury surplus upon which he has reduced taxes. He had ignored in his calculations the of earning power between income tax on the same. If this argument is correct to why should Adjusted Competition interfere with reduced taxation And again looking at the question from the character of its fenders, we have on the one occasion bitterly and with equal strength the opponents of Adjusted Compensation, the weak and selfish interests, and on either hand the proponents of Adjusted Compensation, the leader the fight for fair play for the service men, the American Legal Another matter which must deserve your attention is that the leader of the oppose of Adjusted Compensation, is executive officer, appointed Station by our President, Secretary of the Treasury, Melton duties of the Secretary of Treasury are stupendous with themselves. The Secretary, an executive officer and head of department has his hands to Yet Secretary Melton has taken up himself duties appertaining to the Legislative branch of government. He is again unite the prestige of his office, as an executive to shape legislation. Is he getting in full seconds with the Constitution of the United States, which expressly states that our government is divided to three branches, Legislative, judicial and Executive, separate distinct? The problem that is confounding us at this period is to Congress to net according to wishes.

Weber's Book & Stationery Store 112 East Center St. From Germany, which gave to the world those two great pain relievers, Aspirin for headache pain and Novocain for painless dentistry, comes news of another great discovery of a newer form of oil which is bringing quick relief from the pain of rheumatism in a remarkable percentage of cases where all other methods had failed. These German scientists found that rheumatism, in an enormous number of cases, is due to an internal infection such as poisonous pus in a dead tooth or an infected tonsil, or in the intestines. These poisons being absorbed by the blood are carried to the joints and muscles, where they set up inflammation and intense pain. Sometimes these infections cause rheumatism, in other cases neuritis, neuralgia or gout. Once the cause of the trouble was known, these German scientists worked to perfect an oil intended to penetrate directly to the tortured nerves and inflamed tissue of the joints and muscles themselves and neutralize these poisons in much the same way that bicarbonate of soda or magnesia neutralizes an acid stomach. Often even in the most severe and stubborn cases, inflammation, swelling and pain quickly disappear with the very first application. So astounding have been the results from this remarkable oil that the American distributors have authorized local druggists to lend you a bottle for trial with his personal written guarantee. You simply deposit the price with him as evidence of good faith. Then if you do not get immediate relief, simply return the bottle and every penny of your deposit will be instantly refunded. Ask for the oil by name—Buhler Oil. Sold by all good druggists in this city such as, Kemp Bros., O. A. Mullinix, Anaheim Pharmacy, Heying Pharmacy. NOTE—The written guarantee of relief or money-back on Buhler Oil is especially designed for those people who have doctored for years without results. We do not want to keep one penny of your money unless Buhler Oil gives you relief from pain. THE PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIF. Congress who are there to carry out our desires They are not mind readers, and they do not know your thoughts in view of the latest argument against Compensation. If you are a person who will stand back of your own convictions, and not one who believes in standing back and letting George do it, you will sit down today and write your two Senators and one representative in Congress urging them to act as you would have them. They invite such advice. Are your convictions worth a two cent postage stamp and a few moments of your time? If so, write to Senator Hiram W. Johnson, co-United States Senate, Washington, D.C., who is flattered for the bonus and encourage his stand. Write Senator Samuel Shortridge at the same place, who they have listed as doubtful, tell him in no uncertain words your stand. Write to Congressman Phil D. Swing, co-United States House of Representatives, Washington, D.C., who is an ex-service man himself, heart and soul for the Adjusted Compensation Bill and commend him upon his attitude.

CHARGE EXTRAVAGANCE IN KEEN HAT STORES (Continued From Page 1) as using the mails to defraud, if they could get the evidence, says Steed. The certified public accountant while employed only as a technical man, has been drawn into taking a leading part in the prosecution because of his being called upon to preside at a former gathering of unit holders, and his knowledge of law and criminal practices of this sort. Steed persuaded W. N. Miller of the drilling firm to take charge of Tuesday's meeting. At the first meeting of unit holders, held in the local store some three weeks ago, the trustees had the police present to protect them. The attorney of the two trustees is L. J. Allen of Los Angeles who was paid fees of $4000 and to whom $5000 more was owing, according to Steed. The business also was managed with extreme carelessness, the trustees themselves taking no active part in the actual operations. Quantities of unnecessary supplies were purchased. The action of the aforementioned L. N. France in preventing Alhambra store from doing business, was the first open thing done to indicate that something queer was going on in the company's affairs. It was actually only about three weeks ago that local unit holders got together. Yet out of 285 notices sent out by Steed to as many unit holders, only 50 or 60 attended Tuesday's meeting here. Plans were going forward today to keep open the stores at Ahaheim and Long Beach, Georgetownsend of Long Beach, a holder, stated today. Churchill and Hardebeke were in jail at Santa Ana unable to furnish $1000 each. Records kept by the men indicated fabulous sums been checked to their person sense account, Townsend clerk among which was a charge totaling cost of tracing 45,000 miles. The unit holders' committee thrus Steed today addressed to "holders of interests finding findings of the inventions and results of Tuesday's meeting." This letter declares that cording to the examination of certified public accountant Keen Hat Stores "has been creating at a loss consistently the books show a loss of "$100,000."" Several attachments have levied against both stores. No unit holder has any rights in the stores, accorded the evidence at hand, for already explained. At Tuesday's meeting the ion was unanimous that the cession should be pursued because both the District Att力和 Corporation Commissions were handicapped to some extent part of the prosecute must be taken care of by the holders themselves. The following is the course named to proceed with case: W. N. Miller, Harrell Scott, H. S. Galces, Bert Kand and Charles Trudeau. The 285 or more unit holders mail their checks for per cent of their interest to at 128 East Center-at.
