From the Albuquerque Citizen.
 It is not generally known that there are in the United States unutilized land to the extent of 600,000,00o acres. There are times when we are apt to think that the country isgetting a triae overcrowded and we welcome the open ing of little tracts of few hundred thousand acres as affording opportune relief to condition of almost danger ous congestion. But all Europe does not possess the area which is included in the arid region west of the Missis- sippi. There's the rub--it is an arid region. But in these days of vast in- crease in the employment of irrigation the solution of the problem of conges- ton appears
 This tremendous territory is capa- ble of supporting population of 50, ,000,- GOO people.

But the time is coming, and long before it arrives preparations must be made to accommodate a population roughly estimated by these figures.
 Those who foresee the overcrowded condition of the country must take into account the fact that a radical revision of the immigration laws is only aquestion of time and not merely with the suppression of anarchy in view. That consideration will have little numerical effect. Butas popula- tion increases. congested conditions will become more and more strenuous, and relief must come from the west.

WANTS LOCAL TAXATION
FOR THE SCHOOLS.

THINK TAXES CAN'T BE TOO HIGH.
Still Wants the Burden Increased TO
School Purposes. Now at Work
on His Annual Report.

State School Commissioner G. H.

ing session. =, $50
recommendation for taxation in the
matter of public schools. Mr. Glenn
will deal with the subject at length
and will cite the systems employed oY
numerous states, where local taxation
has proven to be a big success.
Mr.. Glenn said this morning that a
strong fight would be made for local
taxation at the next session OF the leg
islature, and that since the outcome OF
the mandamus suit regarding the pub
lie property fund, he felt sure that the
legislature would take the matter up
and find some remedy. In the opinion
of Mr.. Glenn the only remedy is local
taxation. He has talked with num-
Der of members of the house OF repre-
sentatatives, and says now the men
seem to be very much in favor OF the
idea. Last year he made an effort to
get such a bill through the house, but
it was not introduced. The outcome OF
the mandamus suit, however, makes
it necessary for some action to be
taken.
1t is said that the bill requiring local
taxation will be introduced by the
Hon. J. II. Hall, of Bib and it is fur
Their reported that Mr.. Hall will exert
every effort to have it passed.

SAN FRANCISCO TALK OF SLUMP
IN STOCKS.
Hawaiian Commercial and Other Island
Stocks Show a Falling Tendency on
the Coast

SAN FRANCISCO, April 5.-Rumors
have been current on change for sew
eral days that a drop in sugar stocks
was pending. The fact that there was
last month marked fall in the stock
of the Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar
Companys stock was not wholly ac-
counted for by sympathy for the shrun-
ken Oceanic shares. Something like a
definite idea of the causes of the rum
ors was obtained yesterday from Ed
ward POLITE, the largest local broker
in sugar stocks. He said:
81 have heard the rumors and do not
think that they will be followed by
any appreciable falling off in the value
of sugar stocks. SO far as Hawaiian
Commercial is concerned, the story is
untrue that it will skip it's regular divi-
dends, and the only cause of the drop
last month of 20 points was the fact
that the company has not yet sufficient
machinery TO handle all it's large crop.
The present plant can handle $4,000
TONS while the crop will be 10000 tons.
This means that the returns from the
excess will be delayed, not lost.
THE plantation is the largest and
can employ 1900 hands; but thus far has
only about $500. Unless the additional
number can be secured by July LIST work
will be delayed The latest reports are
to the effect that the Porto Ricans have
proved so satisfactory that the cap
tious Japanese are getting back to
work and the laboring force is being
increased daily. These are the only
matters affecting Hawaiian shares
Mr.. POLITE was reminded that there
was a rumor also that the Hutchinson
contemplated skipping dividends for
six months. In regard to this Mr.. Pol
litz said:
II know that the story was also in
circulation and there was some basis
of truth The company has decided,
however, not to skip any DIVIDENDS, out
to reduce the amount of the dividend
to 20 cents a share. This has become
necessary because the company has eX-
pended S4O,0 900 in improvements in the
direction of pumping plant irrlgat-
ing bitches and other necessarles TO the
development of it's cane fields. The re-
ports. however, from the President OF
the company, Mr.. Buck, received by the
last mail, show that the plantation Will
have a crop 500 tons in excess OF es-
Inmates"
Still the feeling is general that sugar
stocks are on the eve of a drop. the
figures yesterday compared with the
high and low of last month in the prln-
cipal sugar stocks were:
