IN INTERNATIONAL
R 0 TARY v EEK
FEBRUARY 10 TO Is

Washington, D. c. Feb. 16.-"That
citizen who regards himself as
model of civic proprieties because his
present conduct is impeccable; but
who does not cooperate with the
civil authorities or exert his influen-
ce~ in behalf of the best possible ad-
ministratiOn of the laws, greatly
overrates his usefulness as a citizen.
President Harding today thus sum-
Imed up his idea of the responsibility
of the individual citizen for the prop
er administration of the laws Of his
country and his city in a message
addressed to the citizens of the Unit
ed States through Rotary Information
al in connection with the eighteenth
anniversary of the organization of
the first Rotary. Club.
Throughout the world the coming
week Rotary International is broad
casting by radio and through speech
es in schools, industrial plants, in
civic societies and clubs messages on
the obligations and responsibilities
of the individual citizen from the
heads of the various branches of gov
ernment in twenty-seven countries.
There are approximately Ia hundred
Rotary Clubs scattered over every
continent with a total membership
of more than 100000 Practically
every Rotarian will be engaged in
this citizenship campaign during the
course of the next week.
In the United States the message
that are being sent out include the
one from President Harding on the
individual citizens responsibility for
administration Of the laws.
The full text of President Harding's
message follows:
To the members, Rotary Interna-
tional:
The individual citizens respon-
sibility for executive government
begins with the selection of the
Executive. This implies the duty
of every voter to vote; a duty
that many millions of them regu
larly fail to perform. Before
that, it implies the duty to vote
intelligentlY, to make the vote
represent a deliberate decision
based on the claims of the op-
posing parties and candidates.
Finally, the Executive being
duly selected, it implies the obli
cation to give him the support of
al good citizens in every effort
Ct administration of the law. That
citizen who regards himself as
model of the civic proprieties, be-
cause his present conduct is i'm
peccable; but who does not CO.
operate with the civil authorities
or exert his influence in behalf
of the best possible administra-
ton of the laws, greatly overrates
his own usefulness as a citizen.
The responsible officers of go
vernment, whether it be munich
pal, state or national, need and
are entitled to the full and effect
tive support of all citizens in the
enforcement of laws.
If the effort of Rotary should
be effective in impressing this
conception of the citizens duty it
will have performed a most use
full service.

clusion of the experiments, the bee
inspectors duties would be enlarged
to include an inspection Of bees
which may show perverse tendency
to revert to the original type and
grow stingers. We are fundamental
ly opposed to honey-bees which have
stingers. One of the well-remember-
ed pleasures of our youth was to rob
the nests of honey bees Of their hon
ey. The pleasure was on several oc-
casions alloyed and marred by the
visible manifestation of the fact that
bees grew stingers as well as made
honey.

DO|NCS OF THE STATE LEGISLATURE
KINNEY BILL AGAIN INTRODUCED

Phoenix, Arizona, Feb 14.-The
famous Kinney bill was introduced
in the state senate on Monday after
noon. 1t seemed like old times to
many observers of the Arizona legis-
lature of the past several years, to
see Sen. Alfred Kinney introducing
his famous bill. The Kinney bill has
been an issue in Arizona politics al
most since territorial days. Since it
was first introduced in the legislature
of several years ago, the bill has been
up for consideration in practically
every session Sometimes it has been
the center of big fight in the legis-
lative halls, when it has mustered a
considerable following. At other ses-
sions, the bill has been quickly and
ruthlessly slaughtered and buried
without rights of clergy.
The bill introduced yesterday by
Sen. Kinney follows the lines of the
old bill in prohibiting the employment
in hazardous industries of men un-
able to speak the English language
with sufficient fluency to understand
and carry out orders delivered in
that idiOm. 1t will have the solid
opposition of the mining companies
and transportation companies, as
usual, those two industries being
specifically classed as coming under
the head of hazardous occupations
in the bill
Little likelihood that the bill will
pass is entertained by those familiar
with the complexion and tendencies
of the present legislature.
The Winslow mail., 1923-02-16

Another bill introduced by the
same author on the same day which
will likely result in further minimiz-
ing his popularity with the copper
and railway interests, is known as H.
B. 1873. Like his other bill, it is an
administration measure-and admin
istration bills are meeting sAort shift
in the legislature. The fact that a
bill incorporates a plank of the Dem
ocratic platform, or carries out a re-
commentator of Governor Hunt in
his message, or both, seems to be suf-
ficient reason and impelling motive
enough for the present legislature to
hop onto it with an axe.
Rep. French's other bill provides
for the regulation and licensing of
private detectives in Arizona The
measure seeks to require the regis
tration of the private detectives with
the secretary of state. The applicant
for license as a private "de'"cttye"
must show evidence of reasonably
good moral character, and his license
may be revoked at any time for cause.
Also, he is required, under the bill,
to furnish a bond in the sum of $4,000
to the state as a guarantee of good
conduct.

Rep. Jones of Yavapai has brought
out an old acquaintance in the form
of the bill for the suppression of con-
tagious diseases among bees and rules
governing the operations of the bee
inspector Not a session of the le-
gisIature would be fully complete
without some legislation on honey
bees. Burbank is reported to be en-
gagged in experiments to produce a
stingless honey bee, who will not also

money.
The advocates of state ownership
of the power and irrigation works in
the Grand Canyon of the Colorado,
got their ideas before the House on
Monday in the form of a bill by Rep.
Jones of YaVapai, appropriating $780,
600 for making surveys and estimates
and plans for the initiation of the
work of constructing a dam and hy-
dro-electric power plant at Glen Can
yOn, under state ownership. Another
bill, seeking the submission of con-
stitutional amendment to the people,
to vote bonds for the actual construc-
tion of the dams, plants and irriga-
ton works, is a companion to the
9<asure introduced on Monday, and
is by the same author.
The bill introduced by Rep. Lewis
which seeks to limit the number of
members in the House of Representa-
tives, was passed on Monday, and
goes to the senate. The bill does
not change the present representa-
ton of the several counties in the
House. 1t provides, however, against
future large increase in the number
of representatives by changing the
basis Of representation from one rep
resentative for each 1900 voters, to
one for each $500 voters, as shown
by theSlast preceding election.
From daily observation, the deduc-
ton might be made that the chief de-
sideratum in the Arizona legislature
right now, is an improvement in quail
ity rather than in numbers. An in
lection of representatives who mean
what they say during their campaigns
for office, and who will live up to
the pledges of their party platform,
would likely improve the situation
for the people of the state.
The mathematical shark of the
press gallery of the House, who has
a famous bent for figuring out what
it costs the taxpayers of the state to
get some of the fool legislation writ
ten on the statute books for future
| legislatures and supreme courts to
eXpunge, says it costs $166.66 2-3 an
hour for the actual expenses of the
House. He has figured out that it
costs the taxpayers $791.38 for the
House to arrive at the happy conclu-
sion that the qualifications for the Of
flee of adjutant general Of the state
should remain the same as at present.
A bill was introduced early in the
session, whicb acquired the nickname
of ''the exclusion act" 1t defined the
qualifications of the abjutant general
to such fine degree that it appeared
there was only about one man eligi-
Bile to the high military honor in the
state. But when the bill was in the
hans of the committee on military
affairs, it evidently ran into some
former buck privates. When it emer-
ged from that committee there was
little of it's former exclusiveness left.

L|NCOLNS SPEECH At THE

FOurscere and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth upon this cOnti-
nent a new nation conceived in liber-
ty, and dedicated to the proposition
that all men are created equal. Now
we are engaged in great civil war,
testing whether that nation or any
nation so conceived and so dedicated,
can long endure. We are met on
great battlefield of that war. We
have come to dedicate a portion OF
that field as a final resting place for
those who here gave their lives that
that nation might live. 1t is altOgeth-
er fitting and proper that we should
do this.
But in large sense we cannot de-
dicate, we cannot cOnsecrate, we can
not haIIOw this ground. The brave

here have cOnsecrated it far above our

Another bill which will make the
mining company representative get
busy on the job, was introduced in
the House on Monday afternoon. 1t
was introduced by Rep French Of Bis
bee, who belongs to the labn" group
of Democrats in the lower house
The measure is known as H. B. 1874.
1t aims to cure the closed town evil
in mining camps such as Ray, Ajo,
possibly Lower Miami, and similar
communities where large numbers of
persons live on rented or leased
ground to which they are denied the
right of purchase. Under the terms
of the bill introduced by Rep. French,
in communities where there are not
less than 1000 inhabitants to a
quarter section, living on private or
leased ground, such persons are qua
ranteed the right of free ingreSS and
egress, and the inhabitants may or
ganize themselves in to a municipal
ity, and form town government, the
same as many inhabitants ii tbe so
called independent" towns.
The bill will have the united op-
position of the copper companies,
which is tantamOunt to saying that it
has small chance ever to be enacted
into law during the session of the
Sixth legislature. However, it will
likely be productive Of considerable
oratory declaring the inalienable and
sacred rights of property over and
above those entailed in giving to the
people of the company towns of Ari-
zona the fundamental right of self
