ROTARY CONCLAVE
MESA MARCH lO-ll

MESA, Ariz., March 3.-With Phoe-
nix, Tempe, Globe and Miami regis
tered 100 per cent or better for the
annual conference of the Forty Third
District Of Rotary International, to be
held here March 10 and IL, Rotarians
of Mesa are now preparing to enter
tain more delegates ss:9d visitors than
ever attended conference since this
district was organized.
Phoenix now holds she record, with
626 registrations in 1925. More than
week in advance of the Mesa con-
ference, registrations and reservations
have almost reached that mark.
Several developments have recently
added to general interest in the COM
ing conclaye. Holbrook and Globe
both have candidates for district gov
ernor, to succeed G. M. Butler Of Tue
son. A spirited contest for that Of
flee is among the possibilities.
Now it is assured that two repre-
sentatives of Rotary International
will be present instead of merely one.
The first assigned to the Mesa con-
ference was Eddie Flynn, the st.
Paul Firecracker" Now Governor
Butler has received word that John
B. Orr Of Miami, Fla, who is chair
man Of the Rotary international ex-
tension committee, will be present and
make two or three Of those inspiring
addresses that have won him world
wide fame.
Flynn and Orr are the outstanding
orators of Rotary and their time is
so much in demand that it is not often
possible to get them both to one con-
ference. Their presence is expected
not only to increase attendance at the
conference, but also to give decided
impetus 10 the already strong Rotary
movement in Arizona.
Entertainment features planned by
the Mesa Rotarians include tour of
the newly completed 100000 Mormon
temple. Thursday evening, March 10,
the annual banquet will be held at the
Mesa High school. This is to be fol
lowed by the governors BALI at the
Rendezvous, ono Of the most beautiful
bathrooms in the southwest.
Arrange are also being made
to entertain the Rotary AIMS in royal
style. The principal event in their
honor will be tea Thursday after
noon at La Casa Vieja, in Tempe.

NEW planning MILL
FOR STANDARD MILLS

The planning mill of the Standard
Lumber Mills, Inc, viii be built at
Standard and not here, stated John
Zalaha, manager, when interviewed
this week While this is not an alb
solute surprise to many, as there
have been rumors predicting this ac-
ton on the part of the company, it
has been the general supposition that
the planning mill would be constructed
here.
This change in plans of the COM
pany, Mr. Zalaha said, was made to
prevent the separation of the dry and
green waste lumber, used in firing
the boilers.
If the planning mill were constructed
here, nothing but green waste lumber
would be available for firing the boil
ers of the sawmill at Standard, and
only dry waste lumber for firing here,
making consistent supply of steam
at both places improbable. Snowflake

WHY THE PRESIDENT VETOED
SO-CALLED FARM RELIEF BILL

and nothing else. These are to be
given special favors at the expense of
the farmer who has toiled for years
to build up constructive farming en-
terprisc to include variety of crops
and live stock that shall, SO far as
possible, be safe, and keep the soil,
the farmers chief asset, fertile and
productive.
"The bill singles out few products,
chiefly sectional, and proposes to
raise the prices of those regardless of
the fact that thousands of other
farmers would be directly penalized.
III this is true farm relief measure,
why does it leave out the producers
of beef cattle, sheep, dairy products,
poultry products, potatoes, hay, fruit,
vegetables, oats, barley, rye, flax and
the other important agricultural lines ?
So far as the farmers as a whole are
concerned, this measure is not meant
for them. 1t is for certain groups Of
farmers in certain sections of the
country Can it be thought that such
legislation could have the sanction of
the rank and file Of the nations farm
ers
ssThis measure provides especially
for the payment BY the federal board
of all losses, costs and charges of
packers, millers, cotton spinners, or
other professors who are operating
under contract with the board. It con-
templates that the packers may be
commissioned by the government to
buy hogs enough to create near
scarcity in this country, slaughter the
hogs, sell the pork products abroad at
q loss, and have their losses, costs
and profits made good out of the
pockets Of farm taxpayers. The mill
ers would be similarly commissioned
to operate in wheat or corn and have
their losses, costs and charges paid by
farm taxpayers.

WORK STARTED ON
GRAND VIEW ROAD

With the arrival at Grand Canyon
Of "A. Il. Payne, field agent for con-
struction company, the first move has
been made to start work on $257, :
900 contract for construction of the
Grand View road in Grand Canyon
national park.
Three carloads of equipment win be
shipped there, and work on the pro-
ject will be started as soon as the
equipment arrives. Bad roads tempo
rarily have held up a string of trucks
coming overland from Salt Lake City.
The road is the first unit of a pro-
gram which will entail an expenditure
of $8,000,000 by the park service and
extend over a period of five years.
The Grand View road is expected to
be completed by October 1.

received telegram from E. w. Mel
son, chief of the United States bio

department Of agriculture expects TO
ask that the national duck season be
shortened as means Of conserving

which end of the season Arizona

cut made. Pettis is going to reply
that Arizona hunters prefer that the
bag limit be reduced instead Of short
ening the season.

Shortage of Home in

three years.
"a survey of several hundred COM

per cent show shortage of business

months ago, this shortage indicates an
increase of more than a hundred per
cent for apartments. An increased
shortage Of seventy-fve per cent is
shown for single family dwellings and
approximately fifty per cent for bust
ness building.
"If construction activity keeps pace
with demand, building volume this
year should reach new high figure"

SOUND BOAT OPERATORS FAVOR NEW LAW

r OOKED upon by the smaller Sound
step in marine operations on Puget
Sound was the passage by the last
Washington legislature Of bill plac-
ing all Puget Sound ferry and passen-
ger boats under the certificate of pub
lie necessity law.
The smaller operators claim that the
law will prevent larger companies from
duplicating service in districts where
Independent companies now operate,
and forcing the smaller company out
of business. Many Of the smaller OPP
orators lobbied for the bill at Olym-
pia, taking the stand that the state al
ready regulates rates and should reg
ulate service as well. They declare
that unless some protection is given
the smaller operators can finance
themselves or will not if they are able,
to construct the larger ferry boats
that will be necessary to handle in
creased business as their routes de-
velop with the increase in travel.
Those who fought the measure de-
clare it to be unconstitutional, con-
flicting with the federal law govern
ing navigation, and that it threatens
the traditional freedom Of the seas"
SEAS"
Proponents of the new law point out
that from the beginning Congress has
always recognized the right Of states
to regulate commerce within their
own borders. They declare that Pu-
get Sound is not the high seas and
that the term freedom Of the seas"
is usually spoken of with reference to
international relations.
At the legislative hearings, commit
tee members are said to have recog-
nized the need Of this regulation in
the interest of the public, accepting
the doctrine that the public always
pays for destructive competition. De-
partment of Public Works representa-
tives said at the hearings that the
Iipresent regulations Of rates without

resulted from the active demand for
municipal issues and a scarcity of new
business of this type is strong factor
in the outlook.
The McEary-Haugen Bill
The McNary- Haugen bill has been
vetoed, as nearly everybody expected
it would be. The Presidents opinion
of it was well known, and there was
no reason to suppose that he would
not stand by it. The President is an
independent part of the law-making
power, charged by the constitution
with the duty of passing honest judg-
ment upon the legislation laid before
him for approval. If President Cool
idge had given his approval to this
measure after his repeated expressions
of disapproval, the people of this coun-
try would have been obliged to re-
wise the opinion of him which was
behind the great vote given him in
1924. There is no reason to think
that the menacing character of much
of the pressure which was brought to
bear on him by the advocates of the
bill had any influence one way or the
other. He has simply reafiTned his
position with very cogent and thor
ough discussion.
He believed the measure to be un-
constitutional for several reasons and
presents the opinion of the Attorney
General in support of this view, but
instead of evading his own duty to-
ward it by passing it on to the Courts
to receive the coup de grace, he chose
to veto it upon the broad grounds
that it would prove impracticable in
operation, and that instead of bene-
filing agriculture it would work great
injury to that industry. This is a
position which the advocates of the
measure have seemed unable to COM
prehend, although most of them adj
NIT that they are not clear in their
own minds as to what the effects
would be-. Congressman Haugen, CO.
author of the bill, in his speech of
exposition in the House, called it an
experiment, and there is good basis for
the opinion that a majority of the
members of both Senate and House
are unconvinced as to its merits. A
majority was registered against bill
of practically the same terms by the
same membership only few months
ago, and the change is accounted for
by the plea that something should be
done for the farmers and that this
experiment had best be tried, to sat
isfy them.
If there was any guaranty that the
scheme would not prove harmful the
plea to give it a trial would have
weight, but one who believes that it
would make the farm situation worse
would not be justified in accepting it.
A sensible person does not try quack
remedy on member Of his family
whose life might be imperilled,
simply to see how it would work. The
President has refused to have any
part in the enactment of a law which

GENERAL BUSINESS CONDITIONS
! By
From the Monthly Bank off, York

February brought further gains il

below the exceptionally high level
of a year ago, judged by ordinary
standards, BUSINESS i'll the aggregate
continues very satisfactory and ths

Iron and steel production and the
manufacture Of automobiles have beer
slow to get back to full time. The
volume of new building projects is
running under year ago and whole
sale and retail distribution is some
what more irregular than has been the
case at the season in previous years.
Mail order sales recently have shown
losses compared with the year pre-
vious for the first time since 1924.
Although specifically, many OF
these factors seem to reflect the be-
ginnings of period of recession,
business has strong supporting in.
fuences in its favor. The absence OF
large stocks along the channels OF
manufacture and distribution con-
tinues to give assurance that buying
must be maintained to care for the
needs of consumption. With bank re-
serves augmented by $60,0O0000 OF
net gold imports since the first OF
the year and with the volume OF Fed
eral reserve credit outstanding the
lowest in over two years, money condi-
tons are more favorable to business
than in previous months.
The lumber business has been slow
to get under way and production, ship
ments and orders are running below
last year. Although statistically, the
industry is in good shape, competition
from other types of building materials
is increasing.
Overtime is making its appearance
in the textile industry. Cotton mill
operations in January were at the
rate of 1923 per cent of single SHIFT

turn for the better in the industry.
The volume of buying in rayon is
approaching boom proportions at
times. Conditions in the wool goods
market are improving although the
change has not been as marked as
elsewhere in the industry.
The ease with which the unprece-
dented amount of new securities has
been absorbed since the first of the
year proves the fundamental soundness
of the present bond market. The tre-
mendous backlog of uninvested funds
existing is evident from the continued
inquiry for offerings in fair sized
blocks from institutions, banks and
private investors throughout the coun-
try. Keen students of the market see
little hope for an early recession in
prices sufficient to warrant waiting
policy. Steadily rising prices have

Violates Fundamental Principle
The bill was hopeless as a relief
measure because it violated funda-
mental principles. 1t was an attempt
to cure a surplus by substituting it, to
maintain the status quo in production
in the face of evidence that there was
need for readjustments. Its advocates
created strong presumption against
their own arguments by stressing GER
tain price-fxing experiments of other
countries, which in fact do not sup
port this plan. All experience has
shown that price regulation inevitably
fails unless accompanied by produc-
tion-control, which is not provided for
in this measure. 1t requires no pro-
found knowledge of economies to con-
vince practical person that if any
product is produced in excess of the
demand for it, so that an increasing
surplus is carried over from one crop
year to another, the Government can
not continue to buy the surplus in
definitely. It will pile up in the visible
supply, and eventually the policy will
have to be abandoned.
TWo-thirds of a normal crop of cot
ron will be carried over from the
present crop year into the next, and
who will venture to say that the es-
Enlistment of Government Board
to fix the price, backed by the United
States Treasury, would not enhance
the prospect of still larger carry
