1914 While the second war with
ENGLAND was in progress British ships
we're ravaging Virginia's coast cities.
Robert was at that time seven years
old and the stirring events happen
;np 50 near his home left an indeli-
b]e impression on his young mind.
At the age of eighteen his inherited
military instincts asserted themselves
and he entered West Point Military
Academy. He was model student,
and one of exemplary habits, he won
high honors; and graduated in 1929
second in a class of 46, and became
|bv brevet second lieutenant in the
corps of Typographical engineers.
For several years he was engaged
with work in connection with the At
lantic coast defenses.
In 1881 he married Mary Randolph
Gusts, nd-daughter of Martha
Washington, from whom he inherited
the Arlington estates on the Potomac.
The personal history Of Robert E.
Lee is almost lost In the history OF
the great crisis Of Americas national
life. Political friends and foes alike
acknowledged the disinterestedness,
and purity of his motives, his self
denying sense of duty, and the unre-
pining loyalty with which he accepted
the defeat at his army in the War
between the States,
/ Robert E. Lees entire life seemed
to have been interviewer with mill
;tary experiences. He gave his serv-
ices in the Mexican war in 1847, un-
der General Scott, and greatly dis
tinguished himself at the siege Of
Vera Cruz. Several years later he
was appointed superintendent of West
Point Academy and after filling thai
position for some time, he resigned tt
accept the Lieutenant -Colonelcy O.
the second cavalry regiment. Th'
same year his regiment was dispatch
ed to Texas to put down Indian up
risings, and for the next four year
he was engaged in dangerous conten
tion with the hostile Aborigines.
He was next ordered to take com
mand of the body of militia Of tn
State of Virginia, which routed Joh
Brown and his band Of fellow cor
spirators from their stronghold q
Harper's Ferry. This was the insle
ni6cant prelude to the conflict b.
tween the North and South. Lee n
turned to Texas, and was there
the early part of 1861, when the gre'
crisis was approaching, he careful
watched the excited conditions in tt
country, but took no part in its evol'
tions.
It was evident that about this tin

PRESERVE NATURAL
 RESOURCES IS PLEA
 OF WOMAN SPEAKER
From Fridays Daily)


 Preserve the rough and primitive beauty of the national parks. Such is the message Mrs. Agnes Shea Mo Collisker will bring to Prescott in her lecture on scenic America at St. Joscph's Academy at } o'clock this afternoon.
 In a statement to the Journal Miner she emphasized this above all things. "You may remember" the statement reads, 'the fable of the Spartan boy who hid a fox under his coat and rather than let out a cry let it eat into his vitals. This was told to illustrate Spartan cour- age. It might be told today of America, only it would not illustrate courage; it would be fine example of our national avarice,
 No nation in the world cats up its natural resources with such aban- don as we do What would Europe be today if private interests were al lowed to chop down forests and never give thought to the protcc- ton of game and water supplies for the next generation? We turn our grand forests into Grand Rapids fur niture and never give thought of planting another tree.
 Everybody ought to read Elmer son Hougb's articles on The ',Presi- dents Forest which appeared recent ly in the Saturday Evening Post If enough citizens of a patriotic turn of mind were enlisted to the cause of preservation, we too could boast of our wild game and ancient oaks. We could boast of more All the world holds no beauty such as that which lies between Prescott and Salt Lake City. What is more to the point, most of it is practically un- known.
 Belng unknown, the sheep, cattle and lumber interests are as ignorant Of it as is the average tourist. This is fortunate, for it means an even race. If the lovers of primitive beauty are as numerous as l think they are, they will respond and beat our more materially minded friends to the tape.
 Of course, there are big men ill business who would cooperate with any public agency for the preserva- ton of the forests There is no doubt that these men could be trust cd to go in and clear out the dead and dying trees but past experience would indicate that they would soon fall victims of the desire to take all the traffic will bear So not having much left, it bchooves us to get a move on and preserve what we have

 WORK FUR 4 DAY
Democrats in Senate Hang Up Further Business by Fuss Over First Supply Measure; Two Thirds Vote Failed

PHOENIX, Feb. 17.-Democratic senators, assuming tactics of delay tied up proceedings in the legisla- ture yesterday with the result that aside from the passage by the house of the legislative appropriation bill, little was accomplished by either legislative body.
 As passed by the house, the bill calls for the appropriation of $5l,SSO to cover 40-day session. Of this amount '$l6,24O is set aside for sal aries of members, $14000 for em- ployes, $2,051 for mileage, $1S,OOS for contingent expenses and $lOOO for printing. The measure was put through the house under suspension of the rules, Representative Reming- ton of Maricopa and Udall of Apache, both republicans, voting no on the grounds that the appropriation was too high.

Seven democrats voted against the motion. They were Claypool, Gull, Eddy Lines, McMillan, Schlcimcr and Sims.

MORE REVENUE
 FROM MOTORS
Report of Secretary of State Is Furnished Legislature to Show Comparatively Low Returns From This Source

PHOENIX, Feb. 17.-In the in terest of greater revenues for the state, will it be necessary to increase the automobile license tax? This is one of the questions now before the state legislature, and in arriving at an answer the legislators will have the benefit of complete facts and fig tres compiled by Ernest R. Hall, secretary of state These data are contained in tine secretary's annual report to the governor, copies of which have been supplied each mem- Der of the legislature.
 The report shows among other things that the revenue from motor vehicle licenses has in creased from .$8,838 in 1912 to $l91, ,5S7.25 for the year 1921. That double this revenue should be secured is indicated by the fact brought out by Governor Camp bell in his message to the legisla- turc that the average fee charged for motor vehicles including trucks in Arizona is $5.46, while the average fee for all the states is about $10. Also that Nevada is the only state where the fees are less than those charged in this state
 Under the present law a small amount is collected each year from chauffeur's licenses. This license should either be abolished or an cx- animation both practical and tech nical should be provided, says Hall ill his report, and adds: At pres cnt the license means nothing except that the holder has paid $ for a badge, and the public is in no way protected from inefficient or careless 
 Hall also suggests the employment of special deputies to secure state wide enforcement of the motor ve- hicle law, which, he says, is being violated in every county in the state Taxes and license fees are being cvadcd, says Hall, and the lives and headlight laws, the enforcement of which seems impossible or impracti- cal by local officials. The expense of two enforcement officers could be more than defrayed by turning into the state treasurer one-half of all fines imposed upon violators appre- hcnded by such officers.

ROAD MONEYS
 NUT YET CUT

What sums will come to Yavapai county for road improvement from the federal government will not be known until word is received from Washington, according to H. B. Wales, Prescott forest supervisor, who returned from the forest road allotment conference at Albuquerque yesterday. The state highway de- pertinent, said Supervisor Wales, wants to put all the money under the 2 per cent system, while the forest service wants to include at least half of it for roads which should be developed ill the foresy. The Fossil creek project, the super visor said, was not approved by the state engineer.
 Lands in the forest do not pay taxes" said MT. Wales, "and it is the forest services plan to appro- priatc money to build roads, thus making up in way for tax excmp- tion." Definite settlement of what Mir. Wales described as a dead lock" in the allotment situation will come from Washington.
 There will be no appropriation of moneys from the forest development fund until April, when Colonel Greenway arrives ill Arizona for road funds allotment conferences. However, Mir Wales feels that the Prescott forest, since it is not mak- ing excessive demands, will be able to secure the funds it wants.
 The Senator road is my first road" said Mir. Wales; and after that I have another road much want cd by the Verde people. It goes from where the Prescott Jerome short-line crosses Mingus mountain, to the top of Mingus, and will give the Verde valley access to a rccrca- ton ground After that 1 have the cutoff road between the Hassayampa and Senator highways"

BUSINESS VISITOR MISUNDERSTOOD IN
 CURTAILED ARTICLE
Prom Saturdays Daily)

An article that had to be shortened at the last minute on account of space restrictions, failed to convey the true meaning of all observation on Prescott that had been made by la business visitor The gentleman interviewed said that although his business visits to number of towns in the southwest had been cancelled this year on account of depressed business conditions, Prescott had been retained on the list by reason of its excellent financial and business situation as shown by continued favorable reports by the federal re- serve system. The last such report, rated Prescott as highest in the twelfth federal reserve district, in banking stability and general com- mercial briskncsS.
 Mir. Inskcep believed that while the downtown district had not changed much, due to new construc- ton, the town gave evidence now of being on the verge of great for ward move. Paving and lighting of the business section will positively transform it. Ono reason for the dc lay in certain improvements, he said, was that the business people had awaited an opportunity to make d great stride in civic betterment. Bet ter streets will be followed by im- proved buildings.
