mind at least, far safer for the great
majority than sudden Outburst oi
buying and selling which brings profits
for the time, but overdoes the matter
and ends with sudden drop into dis
trcsslng business depression.
1t is only the few who are successful
in so using these isolated peaks of ex
traordinary prosperity as to carry then
over the following period of stagnatior
with a better result in the long run
than they would have obtained from a
more steady medium Of business ac-

Oood VIII a World Need


To tho Editor Of the Epenino Public Ledoer!
Good Will Club" the object of which.
petuate the ideals of international
friendship which inspired the recent
tour Of France by delegation Of
women. Tentative plans already have
been made for the clubs organization
and expansion. In fact. It might be
said that it already exists, with n
nucleus membership composed Of those
who visited France and with head
quarters established in Detroit. It is
hoped to create branch organizations
in every State and community. and cs-
scntially the membership will not be
limited.
The more who can be persuaded to
join the better the pioneers will be
pleased, for the great objective is to
spread the good.w spirit to every
corner of the land.
About the only objection that could
be made to the movement--nnd that
may be premature objcction--is that
its appeal seems to be made exclusively
to women. whereas 1t is altogether
likely they have even more good will
In their hearts, as it Is, than the male
pOpuiatlOn. however, with all OF the
women preaching good will' it would
be difficult for most men to escape it's
wholesome influence. and it Is within
the range of possibility that the men
would eventually be pounding for ad-
mittance at the clubs doors.
If ! were asked to ascribe the basic
causes for most of the strife and tur-
moil in the world today ! would reply
that there is not enough good will.'
Good will is the Keystone of peace,
contentmcnt and prosperity. Give it
full sway and there would be no war !;
cast It aside and civilization would be
doomed.
We all have seen the point illus
trated in recent years with charts Of
blood and can see today where good
will. and that alone, can avert another
terrible world conflict The women who
launched this good will' movement
could not have conceived an ambition
more beautiful or more necessary.
They could not have begun their ef-
forts nt more timely hour. Begin
the organization at home. Of course.

Far Eastern Treaties Will Be Taken Up While Waiting
 For Harding's Answer

WASHINGTON. Feb. l6.-- Senate debate on the four power Pacific trea- ty began today with preliminary tilt resulting in request to President Harding for all available information as to how the treaty was negotiated
 An hour of general discussion, which brought to the surface various cross currents of senate opinion. but failed to develop definitely the rela- tive strength of supporters and Cppo- 'nents of the treaty. preceded adoption of the formal request for information The resolution of request had the sup port of Republican and Democratic leaders alike. and was approved with out a record vote.
 While it awaited the presidents re- ply, the foreign relations committee decided to go ahead with other trea- ties resulting from the arms negotia- .tions in the hope that all of them might be pressed to ratification with out considerable delay At a meeting late in the day, the committee com pleted it's reading of the naval limita- tion and submarine treaties bringing to light any indication of opposition Tomorrow it will read through the general Far Eastern and Chinese tar .

 Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska. ranking Democrat member of the com mittee. and leader of the unsuccess- ful fight for ratification of the treaty of Versailles, presented the resolu- tion requesting full information from the president.

 Senator Underwood, explaining at length whv no cords or the rs-oti-- tions were kept. declared the discus sionS could not be carried on in a pub- | lie way because they concerned prin- i cipaQy the abrogation of the Anglo Japanese alliance. a subject on which the American delegation could speak only by private suggestion.

FEED BILL FOR Al DAYS VOTED
 BY LEGISLATURE
Patronage Committee Report Calling for 39 Attaches
 Is Also Approved

PHOENIX, AriZ., Feb. 16.-Passage by the house of representatives of house bill No. l. otherwise known as the "feed bill," and carrying an ap- propriation of s5l ,s80 for expenses of a 40-day session, and adoption of the patronage committees report, recom- mending appointment of 39 attaches, were high spots of the legislature to- day.
 Figures of the appropriation bill were prepared on the basis of 40 day session and this was taken by some as an indication that the ses- sion would end before that number of days has elapsed. but others pointe ou that two feed bills" are known r. have been passed in one session.
 The appropriations were made up as follows:
 Salaries of members $16,240; sal aries of employees $l4,OOO; mileage of members S2.631.20; contingent ex- penses s1S.00S.S0; expense of con- pleting the records $1,000.
 House bill No. l went through the house of its origin in the morning session after a suspension of the rules. In the afternoon, 1t was re- ceived in the senate, where it was given it's first reading in full when Chairman Goodell of the appropria- tions committee moved it's reference w. P. Sims of Cochise, attempted tr amend the motion by a suspension of the rules. He withdrew his motion, however, and the Goodell motion was lost. Dr. Sims motion was renewed and it also was lost. The bill then it's regular course.
 Of the 39 attaches recommended in the patronage committees bill, 23 of them are old attaches who are re- tained. and 16 are new appointees to minor posts. The attaches were sworn at noon.
 House joint resolution No. l was in- troduced by Representative Barry of Gila, asking the corporation commis- sion for the loan of the serSrcos vi Oscar Zapf as chief clerk.
 Just before the close of the after noon session of the senate, Senator Sims asked whether the rules of the regular session would be in force President Wilkinson responded that that would be determined tomorrow morning with the report of the ruse- committee. Sims then inquired con- corning the personnel of the rules committee and was told that that like wise would be divulged in the morn ing.
 Because of the succession in the house of s. B. Gilliland of Coconino. and L. H. Hayes of Cochise, slight revision of the standing committees became necessary. Speaker keese of the standing committees became nec- (Contlnued on Page rwo)

Senator Kenyon's Resignation to Assume Judgeship Leaves
 Agricultural Bloc Headless

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The sen- ate agricultural bloc, it's members de- clared today, would continue in more or less active form despite the resig- nation from the senate of it's organ iZer and official chairman, Senator Kenyon of Iowa.
 Bloc members, it was learned, have been discussing privately the organi- ZatiOn's future. although no meeting Of the bloc has been held, and none may be held in the immediate future and the decision has been reached by both Republican and Democratic mem bers for the bloc to be continued as a senate force.
 Indications point to Senator Capper Republican, Kansas. as the successor of Senator Kenyon as bloc chairman
 The bloc is bipartisan. but, accord ing to some senators, has lost some active Republican adherents since some of it's members have criticized President Harding. Secretary Weeks and other Republican leaders. It is said at the same time to have gained sufficient Democratic members to give the Democrats an actual voting majority. A Republican. however. is to be in actual command of the bloc and Senator Capper was said to be the general choice Of both Republican and Democratic members.
 Senator McNamara, Washington has been under discussion as a can- didate for chairman. but was said to have indicated that he did not desire to head the bloc, although he would continue as a member
 Both Democratic and Republican senators who are bloc members said today that there was at present little legislative business which would seem to require the special attention of the bloc. Some Republicans believe that

get could profitably be devoted.
 These fields, he pointed out, are not wholly neglected and many of them receive much space and critical attention; yet their depths have been far from plumbed.
 Study of old newspaper files" said White will dispel the popular myth tha: the newspapers of 50 years ago were models and their editors siar,s in their profession. There has been an enormous advance and progress is continuing But there is still a lot of nonsense in newspaper offices about big story being the best sc~. Of thing to print, and a woman story being worth column and So on. h. ertia and routine are the bane of newspapering."
 White said that the man who .s- serts the papers are filled with crime and scandal is criticising himself rather than the press by indicating the kind of news he reads, for the amount of space devoted to crime and scandal in reality is small. He added, however, that newspapers must bear some responsibility for mis-educating their public, through wrong emphasis on news.
