Just down here for rest and re-, taxation, and really have nothing to say which the public would be inter ested in reading,'' was the modest re- ply of a great man yesterday to a re- porter who asked an interview.
 That man is John R. Mott, who holds degrees from a half dozen of the great est universities and who during the world war had charge of all the Y. M. C. A activities not only of our own country but in the allied armies, and in the prisonerat-war camps throughout Europe. He has travelled the world over in the interests of the Student Christian movement. with particular attention to the needs of South Africa, South Asia and the Far East He served by direct appointment of Presi- dent Wilson as member of the Mexican commission in 1916 and as member of the special diplomatic mission to Rus sia in 1917. He is knight of the
 French Legion of Honor and fellow of the Royal Geographical society and member of Phi Beta Kappa of Yale l In addition to these activities he has found time to write many books deal | ing with church and missionary af- i fairs and The Present World Situa-
 tion," dealing with the beginning oi
 the world war.

BlAMES ASSESSORS
 FIR L|CENCE DELAYS

Asking the public to place as1aond the blame de where it belongs, Jonn ru deniares that the complaint directed at the office or the secretary for failure to issue au- tonobile licenses is unjust
 Tbe assessors are the ones who are negligent. says MT. Redmond; who Doints out that it is impossible for the s,ec,etsYv to issue number plates to au- tonobile owners without the tax re- ceipt from the county assessor
 "The county assessors should speed m in Forwarding applications. In each town deputies are collecting taxes ana motor vehicle fees which are not being turned in as fast as they might be. In the meantime we are receiving letters from all over. the state from people who claim to have paid their fees and not received their licenses. The licenses are mailed out from our office not later than. the day after the application is l received"
 Owing to delays, MT. Redmond ad- | vises motorists touring the state to wait until they arrive in Phoenix to i secure their number plates.

States to Germany and the Scandina- vian countries must go either through France or England, where they are subject to whatever censorship these countries may desire to impose
 The disadvantage to the United States in it's commercial transactions with Germany and the Scandinavian countries is obvious, when one con- siders the keen rivalry for business with northern Europe, which will in- crease with the return to normal con- ditionS.
 Both England and France protest that they are not censoring messages to and from the United States via these cables. But the United States insists that she has the right to direct com munication and points out the absurd ity of being placed in a less disadvan- tageous situation than before the war, having contributed her share to the victory.
 The United States asks either that the prewar situation in respect to these cables be restored, or that England and France propose an alternative

PIONEERS ARE ASKED
 ID SEND IN STORIES
 IF OLD TIME DAYS

To invest the Pioneers reunion | which is to be held on April I2 and | 13 under the auspices and direction | unique character and to make it of permanent worth in the records of the state of Arizona. it has been planned that the reunion is to be used as a basis for the collection of the "reminiscences of those men and wom en whose courage and vision have made possible the development of the empire of the Southwest. To do this properly The Republican is asking the pioneers of the state to cooperate so that those "reminiscences will be not only complete history of the early days of the commonwealth. but a vera clous and reliable one as well.
 With this thought in mind The Re publican is asking all of the 1900 pio- neers who have registered with this newspaper to prepare and send to the Pioneer Editor short and concise ac- counts of their experiences during the early days. The style In which the accounts are given is of little moment, but 1t is desired that the accounts be comprehensive and bear upon those happenings with which the writer is personally concerned.
 In this manner it is planned to gath CA d Stoiy OL carry <AilZOISt tiltA VIII
 ceed in interest the most entertaining of histories. The stories are to be pub
 lished, and the accounts in this way are to be brought home to every cit izen of the state. The Republicans s plan is also a fitting addition to the story telling that will be an important part of the activities of the pioneers during the reunion.
 The Republicans program of enter tainment for the pioneers, which is be- 1 ing outlined as the greatest thing of 1 its kind ever attempted in the west, is 1 being rounded into definite shape. The names of the 1900 pioneers who have | registered with The Republican have been carefully tabulated and arranged | in a card index system, and the details of the entertainment features for the l two days are practically complete. The friends and relatives of the pi-
 oneers of the state are asked to assist
 the pioneers in the preparation of the | stories, and to see that those pioneers whom they know and who have not
 sent in their names to the Pioneer
 Editor. of The Republican do so imme- 1 diately. The registration of the pio-
 neers has been so extensive during the six months in which The Republican l has been gathering the names, that 1t
 will require but little effort and CO., | operation to make the registry abso lutely complete.
 | Emphasis is laid also on the fact that everything in connection with the re-
 union is to be paid for by The Arizona
 Republican. No expense Is to be
 caused the pioneers who attend the re-
 union-everything is to be free to them

INHERITANCE TAX BILL BEATEN LIN PARTY GROUNDS
House Action Indicates End Of Constructive Legisla- tion = Maricopa County Highway Bond Issue Is Validated

Signs are multiplying in the legis- lature that the end of constructive legislation has been reached-almost before 1t was begun. There seems to be a determination in both houses on the part of an element to prevent the enactment of any measures that would reflect credit upon legislature as nearly Republican as the fifth is.
 This growing tendency was deveI- oped more fully yesterday in the fight in the whole committee of the house over Mir. Halls house bill 115. provid : ing for an amendment of the inheri = tance tax law, one of the amendments proposing the removal of the admins tration of the law from it's unnatural place in the office of the state treas urer to the tax commission
 It transpired that the Democrats of the house had been solidly lined up against the change and their front could not be broken even by the plea made by Chairman Howe of the tax commission. himself a Democrat. Sew eral of the members took part in the debate and those favoring the amend ment pointed out the ineffectiveness of tho law as it had been administered during the eight years since it's enact ment, in which it has produced only a little more than $96,000.
 MT. Haynes of Pima taunted the Democrats with their evident purpose to defeat the bill on party grounds and told them that their record would be disapproved on their return to theil constituents when the latter learned that they had rejected a constructive and revenue producing measure-ar act that would draw taxes from those amply able to pay them when revenu' was so badly needed and when ordi nary taxes were being paid with st great difficulty. And, asked MT Haynes, what reply could be made othe than that the bill had been defeated only that an office holder might no be disturbed?
 Bill Loses in Tie Vote
 Before the voting stage was reaches 1t was evident that the Democrat would vote solidly and when the vot was ordered 1t was observed that on of the Democratic members was no in the chamber. Another was confine to the hospital by illness. Thus ther was a majority of one in favor of tn bill. The house waited for ten min utes while a search was conducted fo the errant member. who was known t be somewhere about the capitol build ing. At length he was found and tn vote was taken, resulting in 19 aye and 19 noes. The bill failed.
 It was expected that MT. Larsen's ir heritance tax bill would come up the senate. That is a much more elat crate measure than the house bi modelled after the Utah. New York ar wisconsin laws. But it also contain a provision for placing the administrs ton of the law in the tax commissio so unless there should be a change heart in the house it would run again a stone wall there.

DIES MONIES. Iowa, March 1.-As secretary of agriculture in President elect Hardings cabinet, Henry c. Wal lace of Iowa is going to know just what the farmers of the country want and why.
 He got his knowledge in three ways:
 By years of practical experience as a farmer and a breeder of stock
 By five years of editing a prosper ouS farm journal.
 By the standing he has in farm com munities owing to the fact that he and his family are plain home folks"
 It was this insight into the mind of the farmer that enabled Wallace to plan for Harding during his campaign the speech that the president elect de- 1ivered at the Minnesota State Fair the speech that plainly set forth the Harding policies on agriculture Hard ing delivered this speech almost yer batim as Wallace outlined it. and poli- ticians announced it one of the most effective of the entire campaign
 Replaces Friend
 Wallace steps into the shoes of Ed win T. Meredith, present secretary of agriculture. who is close friend. Meredith also runs a farm journal in Des Moines and his office is almost across the street from that of Wal lace.
 The new secretary can step out of his editorial sanctum into the new job safe in the knowledge that the bust ness will be efficiently handled during his absence There are four reasons for this:
 Harry A. Wallace. John B. Wallace. James Wallace, and Miss Mary Wal lace
 Harry, married, assists his father in editorial work. John B.. in advertis- ing. and James in the administrative end. are University of Pennsylvania graduates and served in the war Miss
