THE MERCHANTS LICENSE QUESTION

The MERCHANTS LICENSE QUESTION,
AT present the wholesale and retail
merchants in New Mexico and in fact
nearly all classes of merchants are over
burdened with taxes they are compelled
to pay the regular territorial and county
taxes on the stocks of goods they carry
and on all their other property, real and
personal, and then they must pay Ii
cense to do business. This is manifestly
wrong and unjust. 1t is double taxation,
and there is no good reason why mer-
chants should be taxed deubly when
other people are not. Senator Saints
tevan has introduced bill providing
that merchants, who pay tax exceed
ing $50 per annum shall not be COM
PEELED to pay for license to do business.
This is u step in the right direction,
and the bill ought to bect me law. The
merchants OF New Mexico are among the
territory's best and most progressive citi-
zens, and either as class or as indivd-
uals, they should not be unjustly dealt
with. Repeal the present license law in
so much as it compells all merchants to
pay license and enact Senator Santiste.
vans bill. 1t is simply Just and honest
to deal with all citizens alike and make
all property and real estate bear their just
share of taxation alike.

Anyone who mingles with the poor
immigrants who have come here from
Russia or Poland must be surprised at
their ignorance concerning the great
men of this country. Many of them
stay here a long time without ever
knowing the name of the president of
the United States, or hearing of James
6. Blaine, or any other famous poll
tician. They find it very hard to catch
the sound of American names, and are
apt to pronounce these names in way
that would puzzle the owners of them
who happened to be unfamiliar with
jargon. If the names of many of them
seem queer to Americans the names OF
many Americans seem still queerer to
them, and only fit to be laughed at

Recently bedstead made of gold and
silver, inlaid with precious stones. has
been discovered in q cave between Bey-
rout and Damascus, bearing an inscrip-
tion declaring that it once belonged to
Eleanor, queen of England.
IN point of costliness this can nda

of French art were employed. the de-

In the Paris exhibition gorgeous
bedstead was to be seen which had been

the order of an Indian prince.
The canopy was supported by four

tional dresses of Spain, Italy, France
and Greese, who moved their eyes and
waved fans to cool the air. The mat

r" LAND

is continuously practiced, it will be-
come a fixed habit more easily main
tanned than by allowing everything to
run to disorder.
A few examples where these rules
are variously carried out may afford
some useful suggestions to owners of
farms in moderate circumstances who
are about laying out their home
grounds, or who may wish to make
some improvements on those already
arranged. There are many farms placed
on one side of public highway, with
dwellings and farm building easily ac-
cessible from it. Fig. l represents such
place conveniently arranged as sug-
gested. The dwelling is about eight
rods from the public road. and is
reached by the foot-path on the left,
and by the carriageway on the right;
and to economic space, and to take adj
vantage of the farm road, curve car
riage road leaves the farm road, turns
up to the side entrance and passes on
again into this road. This arrangement
obviateS the necessity of passing every
loaded team close in front of the dwell
ling. The barn and carriage-hOuSe are
easily reached by this farm road. The
position of the orchard, fruit garden
and vegetable garden requires no ex-
PLANTATION. The vegetabl are planted in
rows or drills so as to be entirely cult
waited with horse. They may wholly
occupy the ground with annual crops,
or may be placed between the rows OF
currant bushes, raspberries, etc, which
may be 20 feet apart. The farm road
will be where the horse may turn, and
IL feet space left at the other end fo1
the same purpose.
Fig. 2 is a plan of more symmet,
rical place, an acre of which is occu'
