ROTAR|ANS OPPOSE
 HARMFU FREIGHT
 RATE REDUCTIONS

Declaring that the attempt of the transcontinental railroads to establish reduced rates to the Pacific coast terminals without making equal re- duced rates 10 intermountain points would work great injury to Phoenix and Arizona, the Rotary club yester- day adopted a resolution opposing the establishing of such rates and protesting to the interstate commerce commission, the Arizona representa- tives in congress and other governing bodies.
 The resolution was presented by P. R. Helm, chairman of the traffic com mittee of the chamber of commerce. He read the following statement of fact:
 For many years rates to the inter mountain country from eastern terri tories were made by adding to the transcontinental rates, the local from the Pacific coast terminals. The in- termountain interests fought for more than 25 years to correct these unjust and unduly discriminatory rates, and in March 1918 the interstate com merce commission partially removed this discrimination by granting to the | intermediate points, rates that were | equal to the rates to Pacific coast l terminals.
 The transcontinental lines are now asking the interstate commerce com | mission to establish rates on the old discriminatory basis. If this is per mitted, the effect will be disastrous to our commercial interests; will com | pei the intermountain country to pay l higher freight rates than are imposed on any other section of the United
 States; will arrest the development of our mines and our farming lands 1 and place an undue burden on all our people"
 The resolution was then offered and adopted by the Rotarians.
 The Rotarians went to school yes- l terday at their regular meeting at the Y M. c. A. Under the direction of Schoolmaster Jim Stewart, various
 members of the club answered ques- all having to do with Rotary and its ethics.
 i L. w. Coggins gave short talk on forest fire protection. In the five
 years ending in 1920 the loss from forest fires in the United States
 amounted to sS5,00o,000, he said A
 total of 56, 900 900 acres of timber was | burned. The various causes of forest fires were given, the principal one in Arizona being from carelessness of :. campers. It was Rotarian, MT. Cog
 gins said, who established the first
 look -out station in Arizona, on Mount
 Baldy.
 Charles McArthur reminded the
 Rotarians to all be on hand at the
 Rotary Kiwanis baseball game this
 afternoon at Riverside park to roo1
 for their team. Rotary songs were
 practiced under the direction oi
 Walter Olney, and Rotary yells under
 the leadership of John Brown.

FLORIDA IN THE ARTS
(Tampa Tribune.)

1t is well known, in circles where such knowl-
edge counts, that Florida has large number of
talented men and women who wearing mod
estly more than states fame for their achieve
ments in music, literature sculpture painting and
the professions of law and medicine Florida has
poets who have sung as lofty themes, in as ra-
diant imagery of verse, as any the world has
known and put into the niche of fame. There are
Florida painters who have caught the irridescence
of the dawn-lighted dewdrop and pinned it alive
to canvas. All these have made name for
themselves that will live
But it is in sculpture that Florida takes front
rank with the greatest of artproducing states
Florida has many whose dizziness with the chisel
and the clay has been transfixed into the perma-
nence of statue and monument. Especially in Flor
ida known for the work of one man who has two
major works of art to his credit in the Hall of
Fame (Statuary HalD in the capitol at Washing
ton. That man is C. Adrian Pillars, of ST Angus
tine who, winning out in contest with interna-
tionaly famed artists and sculptors won the right
to design and executed the magnificent marble
statue of Dr. John Gorrie, Florida grand old man
who gave artificial ice to the suffering world and
the heroic bronze figure of General Krby-Smith,
Florida's soldier. statesman, scholar Mr. Pillars
has submitted a model for another great work
Florida will be proud of The st. Augustine Rec
ord says that he has submitted a model for the
Memorial to be erected in Memorial Park, Jack
sonville, to the men who went from that city
and Duval county and gave their lives in the
with Germany From the description of Mr.. Pill
lars model it is clear that the who exceeds
him in vision of what memorial of this sort
should be will be superartist, and with an eye
that pierces farther into the mysteries of the flu
ture than mere man can today.
The Tribune congratulates Florida having
such evidences in her midst that have not ali
lost desire and love for all but the dollar; that
there are still those greater spirits in the state
to keep our courage up and furnish inspiration for
better selves.

dsarm while the other nations are in full war
panopy.
One can now check off in detail the arguments,
each sufficiently bromide to ull the recipient into
nsensibility by which the minds of the people
prepared for the change AS mere spectacle, it
is almost as interesting to watch the reaction of
this dope as to rote the way it is given.
1t must never occur again, tearfuly declares
Harding as he lays wreath on the bier of
dead soldier. Certainly not. chime in the spec
tators. Il The way to prevent it, unctously con-
tinues the president, is to make ourselves so
powerful that no other country will dare provoke
our wrath "Of course it is, assents Vox
Populi And SO it goes. The senate plan for
conference on disarmament is asphyxiated in the
house The secretary of the navy mutters
something about the necessity of the biggest navy
in the world The war secretary informs the
graduates of New York college that war fol-
lows peace, just as peace always follows war, and
the way TO make ourselves secure is to do like
George Washington advised, prepare for war in
time of peace.
We are bound to become invncible. But as the
world can hold but one invincible nation at time,
it follows that we must outdistance all the other
nations in the race for nvincibiity. Only one
nation can be secure. And the securer it is, the
more insecure the others are. Germany noticed
that good many years ago, and planned accord
ingy But the German imperialists did not pos
sess such facilities for building up world smash
ing military machine as the Republicans at Wash
ingtcn now have.

THE MUSIC WEEK

The Music Week" is one of the latest and
most interesting fads. Under the impulse of the
National Bureau for the Advancement of Music,
the idea is spreading rapidly, with highly satisfac
tcry results according 10 the statement CT that or
ganization.
City-svide Music Week demonstrations said
to be effective in stimulating interest in all things
musical, calling out latent talent, bringing the peo-
PIE together socially and promoting musical taste
The idea has the endorsement of social. business
and political leaders, including President Harding
who is suspected Of having a good ear for har-
mcny, and cities mainly in the north and east that
have tried ii out, express themselves as more than
pleased with results
Why not enliven the dull season here with a
Music Week." 1t would not cost any more
than the people wanted to invest possibly moth
ing-and it would supply good deal of inno-
cent and uplifting pleasure. Lakeland is fortunate
in the possession of genuine musical talent, and a
series Ct worth while functions might be put on.

KEEP BOOSTING

There's no good in roosting like owls on a limb;
there's more sense in boosting with ardor and
vim. There's no good in viewing all things with
dismay; far better be hewing some elm every day.
There always are knockers enough in town; the
grouchy old takers everything down; they
kick if we're growing, they kick if we're not wet
blankets they're throwing till everyone's hot I'm
popular geezers, WIENER they appear, these old
Ebenezers who knock by the year. They're whis-
kered and wrowsy, they're not up to date, they
always are drowsy when they crate save
when they are kicking because of some tax, and
YEARLY picking the burs from their backs. The
custom of knocking, if given full play, is thor
oughly shocking, it makes men decay. The habit
of looking all clipper and bright, instead of CAD
cooking and cussing all night will make you a
winner, whatever your trade OH tanner and tin
ner and man with spade! There's no good in
cawng and croaking like crows and dreary
drawing blue prints of your woes far better be

WHY WE FOUGHT

No good Whatever can come from the argL
ment precipitaied by Ambassador Harvey speech
in London, in which he said we went into the war
reluctantly and because we had to for the pro-
lection of America, and moi through mere friend
Ship for our allies
A great deal OF we'll constructed sob sob stuff
has been spilled in trying to show that Mr. Har-
vey's remarks reflect injurlously upon the army,
che mothers the country itself and his own pa
triotism. All Of which merely illustrates the
fcnacity Of The war frenzy and the dehsiols which
a state Of war creates IN the minds CT the public.
Because the facts are all with Harvey on that
argument We did &C into the war reluctantly
When Belgium Was invaded. when the Lusitana
was sunk, when this country was made theater
for German propaganda, many people, including,
it must be said Colonel Harvey, fairly itched TO
have the president sever relations with Germany
and ask congress for a declaration Of Dur
ing all that period, however, neutrality was the
watchword. Talk business, not war, was COM
mon sign in public Offices War in Europe
peace America, thank God for Wilson, was
party slogan. The war came when, by the re-
sumption OF femorseIess submarine warfare, the
Germans undertook virtually to sever all commun-
ications with Europe Notice was served On the
German government that we. would net stand for
that program Then Bern;torf was sent home
War was at hand And the declaration Of war,
which ought 10 be the best evidence, following The
recommendation OF the president simply declared
that a state Of war existed between this country
and Germany. In ether words, that document
plainly shows that we entered the war because the
war was forced upon Us.
,Afterwards, Of course, we made common cause
With our co-beigerenls, But we formed no al
lance with Them. We referred to them officially
as, cur associates in the war" We helped Them
because that was the surest way to push cur own
cause
1T o go behind that record and invent fanciul
causes of war-to try to establish the fiction that
we fought merely to save Europe-is not only to
disregard the facts but, in the long run, to do the
very thing which would destroy all justification for
the war, since by no stretch of imagination can we
be held accountable for any guardianship over
Europe The United States will enjoy more dig
nifty a self-respectng nation, looking after its
owp interest and lighting any time when those in
terests are put IN jeopardy, than in the fancifu
role CT quixote crusader flying to the ends of the
earth to redress all wrongs and prevent all injuries
1T is not Harvey address, which, it will be no
iced, the British gracefully, but the denuncation
oft, which places our war record in false light

ALWAYS PROGRESSING

Orange county seems to be in the humor for
building additional permanent highways At a
recent mass meeting held in Orlando the sentiment
was Overwhelmingly in favor of voting $685.
900 fot more reads and the widening of the pres
ent nine-foot surfacing, The principal road enter
prise in mind is highway connecting Orlando
with Indian River City over on the East Coast
just few miles south of Titusvie. This would
give additional route across the center of the
State and make Orlando sea coast resort =
that as, if we consider mere matter of forty-6ve
miles as of no consequence in reaching the surf
Anyway, the movement may be taken as just one
indication of the determination of South Flor
ida to push ahead in the matter of road building,
knowing full well that every dollar expended for
permanent highways is the very best kind of an
investment.
