San Francisco, July IA. = Advices re-
ceived by the transport Newport, from
Manila, dated June II, say that the
volunteers are greatly debilitated in

volunteer regiment has had sick list

at the present date have 25 per cent.
i'll, and few regiments have less than
one-third their number on duty. The
Nebraska regiment has suffered the
worst.

Are the Hoppers Cominge

Prof. Otto Lugger, entomologist of
the state agricultural school, who has
just returned from the Turtle noun
tains in North Dakota. fears an inva-
sion of grasshoppers this season. The
ground is infested with them IN that
country and the season has been a
favorable one with them he says
They are now Matching and will short
ly be ON the move. 1t is probable that
they will spread through Manitoba
and North Dakota and there is a
chance that they will sweep down on
the wheat fields of Minnesota Prof.
Lugger advises the farmers to get in
readiness to meet the enemy by con-
structing ''hopperdozers," the plans
for which he will furnish on applica-
ton Where hoppers have reached a
community he also advises farmers to
pillow a furrow around their farms and
saturate it with crude kerosene oil.

tons in the past should be carefully
Curtailcd, and only such sums as are
absolutely necessary for the mainte-
nance of the said institutions should be
appropriated, at least for the time be-
ing, or until we car place the territory
upon a sound basis. While retrench-
ment in this direction may seem a hard
ship to those sections Immediately af-
fected, it is nevertheless necessary for
the good name and financial standing
of the territory. l do not care to par-
ticularize in this matter, but consign it
as a whole to the sound judgment of the
assembly,"
There is no disposition on the part of
the governor or of any member of the
legislature to curtail the amount of
money expended for the public schools,
but it is thought that the higher insti-
tutions can get along on smaller appro-
priations until the territory is able to
grant larger sums without Gripping
other funds.

to partially evade the payment of their
just dues, thereby placing a premium
on the non-payment of taxes.
The course pursued by the public off
GERS above referred to, the small per-
centage of taxes collected in some of the
counties and a large number of sheep
and cattle throughout the territory that
escape taxation are the principal rea-
sons why New Mexico too frequently
finds it necessary to issue interest bear
ing bonds, the proceeds of which are
used to cover increasing annual deficits.
The following recommendations, if
enacted into law, would, we feel salts
fled, greatly tend to enable the territory
to increase it's revenues:
Assessors should be compelled to di-
vide lands subject to taxation in such
a manner as to enable this board to
know the total number of acres under
the heads of coal, farming, timber and
grazing in their respective counties.
They should also be compelled to adopt
and respect the valuations placed upon
the ulIIeIeIll GLASSES Ol ldAdDlC property,
real and personal, by this board. A
heavy penalty for the failure to comply
with these requirements should be i'm
posed.
Boards of commissioners and tax col
lectors should be fined or removed for
failing to collect the penalty imposed
for failure to pay taxes within the time
prescribed by law.
Boards of commissioners should be
| prohibited by law from settling or COM
promising any case that has been taken
up to this board on appeal.
The law granting an exemption on
taxable property, of 5000 to heads of
families should be repealed.
We feel confident that, if much-need-
ed legislation can be had, our financial
condition will promptly improve, and at
least $40, 600, 900 can easily be added to
the amount now returned for purposes
Of taxation.

overnor Otero and Educational Institutions.

In Tuesdays Denver Republican there
appeared a dispatch from Santa Fe, re-
garding Governor Otero's message to
the legislature, which may prove mis-
leading to persons who did not hear the
message read, or read it in The New
Mexican. The misleading sentence is
as follows: ALSO recommends cutting
down appropriations for educational
institutions
Governor Otero is a stanch friend of
public schools and of higher education
al facilities and the recommendation he
made in the message did not in any
nj imply that the cause of educa-
ton in New Mexico should receive a set
back for the lack of funds to give the
children good schools. What he wishes
done is that all appropriations should
be made in as economical a manner as
possible. Tn his message he said:

The people of New Mexico, as a whole,
desire statehood. There are, of course,
a few hundred men who, for purposes
of their own or because they are disap-
pointed or because they are honestly
mistaken, oppose statehood. But the
principle that the majority rules is
right S"ell established in this country
and still governs. The present assembly
should pass an act providing for the
holding of a Constitutional convention.
Such a one should be held in September
of this year, and the constitution pre-
pared should be submitted to the IAo-
pie in November next. That a good,
progressive, up-to-date constitution will
be adopted admits of no doubt. Con-
gress will Their be compelled to act upon
the wishes of the people and grant
statehood. The proposition is so plain
that it needs no extended argument.

an era of commercial expansion which
is bound to result in unprecedented
prosperity for the entire country. The
only thing that can possibly check the
growth of trade with foreign countries,
aside from actual war, will be a boy

and it is clearly impossible for them to
take such action because of the lack of
harmony among them, consequently no
body can injure the United States, ex-
