4 ST. LOUIS, Mo. June 1S.-(By As sociated Press )-Delegate represent ing 1 ,450 clubs located in 26 coun- tries of the world, with memberships totaling approximately 90,000, are gathering here today to attend the opening of the fourteenth annual convention of International Rotary
 This shows the growth of the or ganization, for it was in 1905 that four men met in Chicago and formed the first club. These were a coal dealer, mining operator, merch ant tailor and an attorney. They called the club Rotary" because the members met in rotation at their places of business.
 1t was not until 1908 that the sec ond Rotary Club was formed in San Francisco. Then the movement be- gan to spread until there were 16 clubs in the United States in 1910, when the first convention was held in Chicago
 Since 1912 the organization has grown even more rapidly than dur ing the first seven years. Although the greater number of clubs are in the United States, and the British Isles and Canada-there are now Ro-

but larger appropriations for road de- from the Middle West and South were somewhat skeptical of the agri- cultural possibilities while Western CTS were enthusiastic.
 Senator Ladd feels that Alaska will be wonderful scenic attraction for tourists and it's natural resources will be developed as they are needed by the rest of the nation. He said that protection of the fisheries is the most important problem.
 Senator R. E. Howell does not be- lieve the Government should expend any more money on the Alaska Rail- way. He was unimpressed with the agricultural possibilities and said the industry couldn't compete success , fully with the markets of the States. He said that construction of the rail road means obtaining products from the States and this would automati- cally wipe out the home market of Alaska farmers.
 Representative Taylor, McClafferty and Crisp united in saying Congress would undoubtedly give much time to Alaskan problems next session. MT. McClafferty said: While we were all impressed with the Terri tory and it's vast wealth, none can answer the query What is the Mat ter With Alaskan Members of the delegation don't know but they have some idea how Alaska can be assisted in helping itself.
 "The Territory from military standpoint must be considered \ in plans for the National defense. This feature was not overlooked by the delegation which studied these and other matters while they were not discussed"

Representative Fred D. Britten, Republican, of Illinois, a wet" leader. has announced his inten- tion of introducing beer-and- light-wines bill on the first day of the new Congress. Tn an explana- tory statement he declared that $700. 900, ,000-more than enough to run the entire Army and Navy for year-could be produced in revenue by permitting the manu- fracture and sale of light wines and beer under Federal tax. Such tax would be paid more cheer fully than any other the Govern ment could impose" he declared. Tt would not only take care of a soldiers bonus, but would pay of the whole national debt :n twenty years"

solved for future development. The Government has spent millions foI a railroad which I don't believe can be made to pay for itself. What the country needs is population
 Lack of Unity.
 Representative Henry F. Barbour California said:
 "I think we were all impressed that the fisheries need legislation to prevent their being depleted. Aside from this one industry I don't know of any other problem relative to Alaska upon which all cities unite as the one problem upon which Congress- should legis.ate. Centralized control should be given consideration. The greatest prob lem is the lack of population.
 Just what Congress can or will do none can say at this time. We have vast amount of information which will be the very best in aid- ing to form out opinions to guide future Alaskan legislation.
 Sane Development Possible.
 Alaskas resources can be devel- oped without shamelcssly exploiting them, declared Representative Cryenus Cole, of Iowa.
 Representative. Charles B. Timber lake, of Colorado, referring to the five Senators and 26 Congressman who made the Alaska trip said the Territory will have 31 we'll informed friends in the next Congress and her prospects for greatness would be assured if every member had been on this tour. He said he was much Impressed with the high av- craze of intelligence of the Alaska people and with their purpose in residing in the Territory.
