This opinion holds that the American Legion is purely a patriotic, education- al and charitable institution. ? i Bettman's opinion holds that the Le- gion in view of the great natural bond which necessarily exists between the Legionnaires and the nation, and the Pollow Routes 36 or 264 fo The 2% ma dis Peden) gongrass sow 55 : . to create the Legion by special act, Altoona Business District. and to designate it as a patriotic so- ciety; is, therefore, exempt from all taxes on all property owned by it and exclusively used by it for its fun- damental purposes. BETTER TIMES WILL RETURN SHORTLY Depression Which Engulfs Us Is World Wide in Its Scope. It is not necessary to state that the country has been going through an eco- nomic depression during the past year. It is a depression which is world wide and which attacked the United States long after it had .laid low the other nations of the world. As a result, a great many people are as overly pessi- r | mistic as others were over-optimistic just before the stock market crash in October. They have now convinved themselves that we will never achieve prosperity again in this generation, and that things were never so bad before. All of which is, of course “the bunk.” It may take a little time to get back where we were, but there is no doubt that the signs pointing to improve. ment are increasing. For instance, Uncle 3am’s foreign trade made a sizeable gain in August over July, the first in many months. Commodity prices, with the exception of wheat, are showing signs of stability and improvement, and the usual sea- sonal improvement which comes with the autumn is at hand. The year 1931 barring unforseen developments will be better than the year 1930. So much for undue pessimism about the future. Now it is equally erroneous to be- lieve that things were never so bad be- fore. There have many worse depres- sions in the past. Pessimism has been rife before even in this generation. For example: one of our exchanges in a middle western city of medium size has been going over its files for the winter of 1920-1921 and finds, according to its stories published then that the problem of unemployment was even more acute then than it is today. It recalls the fact that the peculiarity of the situation then was that while labor was unemployed prices had not receded materially. Complaints were not being made the landlords were evicting te- nants without giving them a fair chance to secure a job and catch up on the rent, and headlines disclosed the fact that bread lines and soup kitchens were numerous in the large cities, while wage reductions over the country were going on at a rate not prevalent now. Now this was less than ten years ago and the people thought then that we would never get over post war de- afltion. Yet between that date and the present we have enjoyed the greatest era of prosperity in the history of the country. Within a few months after these gloomy conditions were pictured factories were running vanished. With- in a year business was runing in high gear, It is well to remember these things in a time when the pessimists once more can see no silver lining in the clouds. Again and again this country has experienced a slump, and come back again stronger than ever. Since the hard times of 1920-21 we had a period of unprecedented business activity, of rising wages and of rapidly improving conditions for every element of our population but the farmer, who was harmed to such an extent by the de- flation of 1920-21 that he has never fully recovered. But old-timers re- member when farm lands that sold for as low as $35 in the late nineties, commanded six times that price later on. When the price was low it was de. clared by many that it would never rise, when the pricer was high it” was as confidently declared that it would never fall. The normal condition of America is prosperity. And America will get back to normal. 7 Hurt When Motorcycles Collide on Cresson Road Four motorcycles traveling in close formation were wrecked Sunday night on the Galitzin-Cresson highway and seven persons were injured, one ser- iously, when thel maghines collided. The most seriously injured was Frank Clark, 30, of Altoona. He was admitted to Mercy hospital and treat- ed for a fracture of the left leg and abrasions of the body. According to police seven persons were occupying the machines when they crashed together, the occupants being hurled to highway. Three were given treatment by Cresson physi- cians and the most seriously injured taken to Mercy hospital. John Luther, 18, Cresson, was given treatment for lacerations of the head, several stitches being required to close the wound. foan service !
