1882 BILLS OFFERED
ONLY 759 ARE ADOPTED

Washington, July 3.-With the sig
nature today of President Coolidge
to Isl measures, the total number of
bills enacted into law was brought to
759 out of the 1882 introduced at
the session just closed.
The president began the task of
signing measures early today, when
he approved So at the White House
and then went to the senate where
he placed his signature to So more
before the final gavels fell.
Among the more important bills
given presidential sanction were the
$51 100000 second deficiency bill car
rying the first years public building
program with numerous other appro-
priations and the veterans compensa-
Uion measure which authorizes the ex-
penditure of $12,000,000 additional
for former service men and their de-
pendents.
Six measures, however, failed to re-
ceive the presidents approval and the
question has again risen as to wheth-
er his failure to sign them constitut-
ed a pocket veto or whether he could
legally sign them within 10 days af-
ter adjournment as Presidents wilson
and Lincoln had done.
The bills that were not signed in
cluded measures authorizing certain
Indian tribes of the state of Wash
ington to appeal their claims against
the government to the courts, to make
effective the twelfth article of the
1868 treaty between the United States
arJ +ba Gbaxunaa TndiapS and fO
grant to the states of Oregon and
Washington an amount equivalent to
taxes lost by the reinvestment of
Oregon and California railroad COM
pany land grants.
The president also failed to sign a
bill which would have reinstated Joe
Burton Coursey of Mississippi to the
graduating class at West Point He
was dropped from the academy last
spring for infraction of rules.

WINSOR SAYS LET THE
TAIL GO WITH THE HIDE

To the Democratic Voters of Arizona:
The time has come when in justice
to my friends | must announce nv
withdrawal from the contest for the
Democratic nomination for represen-
tative in congress. This decision oc-
casions me the keenest regret, and |
announce it with reluctance, but it has
been arrived at after most earnest de-
liberation, and under all the circum-
stances is the only practicable course
for me to follow. [ am not fnanci-
ally able to make the race, and am
unwilling to make it at the expense
of others, although friends who have
no selfish interest to serve have gen
erously proposed to assume the bur-
den. Furthermore, my business in
terests demand my close attention at
this time, and even though | might
personally be willing to sacrifice those
interests to achieve the ambition
which | have so long and so ardently
held, it is my conclusion that | could
not do so honorably and with due re-
gard for the rights of interested par
ties.
| feel the deepest gratitude to all
of my friends who have sympathized
with and encouraged my ambition and
shall hope for the appearance of ways
in which | may demonstrate my
gratefulness.
There are number of directions
in which | had hoped to be of some
help to our state, and to the people
of this country, as Arizona's congress
sional representative, but / was par
ticularly anxious to render service TO
the farming class and the farming in
dustry, of the crying needs of which
/, as one directly and vitally interest
ed, have personal and first-hand
knowledge. Needless to say | was al
so desirous of contributing to a solu-
tion of the Colorado river problem
On these subjects | may, as private
citizen, have something to say dur
ing the present campaign. In the
meantime | shall hope that man
may be chosen for representative who
will so well perform his duty in re-
spect to the questions mentioned, and
other questions, that my loss will be
gain.
In the same connection I would ex-
press the hope that the people will
select their representative in congress
and their public servants IN whatever
capacity, for character, earnestness
and ability. Paramount issues come
and go, and there is a tendency to
choose candidates for their position
on some single question-or worse
still, because of their evasion of all
questions-but it would be we'll to
bear in mind that matters are con-
tinually arising, without advance no
tice, upon which the people are en-
titled to honest, fair and creditable
representation. The qualities of good
Judgment, honesty and moral cour-
age are essential to one who would
give that sort of representation. /
sincerely trust that a man my be Sc
lected who will be equal to the great
task which is set before a representa-
tive in congress.
Regretfully but faithfully yours,
MULFORD WINSOR.
