ANOTHER MOVE IN BATTLE
BY Associated Press,

BY Associated Press,
TOPEKA, Kns., Feb, 17,-Governor
Hoch at noon signed the bill passed on
Wednesday nppropriatlng 100000 for
the erection and maintenance by the
state of an oil refinery with a capacity
Of 1000 barrels a day. The signing Of
this measure will make 1t possible for
Kansas to begin in earnest the fight
started in this state recently against
the Standard Oil company. In signing
the bill Governor Hoch sent a lengthy
message to the legislature, reviewing
the fight which has ended in the pres
ent legislation and giving his reasons
for signing the refinery bill.
Governor Hoch in his message OBJ
jected to the size of the appropriation
made for the purpose of carrying the
law into effect He said that he diff
fered from the majority of the legisla-
ture only in regard to the method of
fighting the Standard Oil company.
L ne message also urged IHe legislature
to supplement the refinery bill with
railroad legislation which will prevent
the trust from defeating the purpose
of the act.
Governor Hoch said in part:
mo one denies the right of the
Standard Oil company to own oil prop
erty or to deal in oil. This company
has invested vast sums of money III
Kansas and certainly no one has
objected to these investments. 1t is
not the possession and exercise of
these property rights, but the abuse
of them to which objection is made.
This is not an attempt to drive the
Standard Oil company out of Kansas,
to deprive it of legitimate profits or
to do it an injury of any kind; 1t Is
an attempt to- compel it to treat the
people of this state fairly and TO give
every man a square deal"

Pipe Lines Common Carriers

The Kansas house of Representatives
today, without dissenting vote,
passed the bill making oil pipe lines
common carriers This is the second
of the series of bills directed against
the Standard Oil company and was
strongly opposed by the Standard in
terests. 1t has already passed the
senate and will be signed by the gov
ernor. Without this bill the refinery
plan could not have been carried out
successfully, owing to the lack of pipe
lines owned by the state. Now, how
ever, the state oil can be piped through
the Standards lines.
The anti-discrimination bill. de-
signed to present the Standard from
underselling the state refinery, will be
made a special order for next Mon
day.
This bill makes it unlawful for any
commodity to be sold in any one town
of the state lower than in another, eX-
cept such difference as may be made
necessary through freight rates. Thus
the Standard will be prevented from
setting the price of oil to meet the
state price at any place in the state,
unless it reduces the price in the whole
state. A fight is being waged by
Kansas jobbers. The oil producers
expect to be able to secure it's pass
age, however. The anti-discrimination
bill is the senate measure and the
senate threatens to secure its passage
by holding up the house railroad bill.

OF WORMMEN

President John Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers
Of America, is not a visionary dreamer, animated by the
false motive that the material welfare of the miners is
the only consideration of their present condition. He
sees more than an advance in wages for the men who
risk life and limb in the struggle for the necessities OF
life. He believes the union should stand for more than a
contest with capital for a fair days wage.
In an address before $4,000 persons at Linton, Ind.
President Mitchell declared that he had mo Utopian
dream of the time when miners will not have to work
He acclaimed his theories of a better condition Of the
working classes. u want you to be better men, he tolc
his hearers. u want you to improve yourselves in othe'
ways than materially. l want you to be respected
President Mitchell appreciates the selfevident fac
that the children of wellpaid workmen have better op
portunity to acquire education than the lean offspring
of underpaid workers. He feels that material advance
ment is only half a growth for the workman whose mino
is still cropping in darkness.
In this age. when education is practically possible
to every child in the land, ignorance in child or man is
incompatible with respect. The man who can neither
read nor write, who knows not the fundamental princi
pies of the government under which he lives, whose men
tally is encompassed by the narrow bounds of his daily
drudgery, has less chance to become a good citizen, com
handing the respect of his n%eighbors, than the workman
who seeks to raise his own mental standard, and those OF
his children, to a plane where an understanding of the
better things of this life find expression in a keener JOY
in living and a deeper insight into the problem of exist
ence.
President Mitchell gives wholesome advice to the
members Of the United Mine Workers of America. The
miners can show no higher appreciation of their leader!

selves mentally and morally-"to be- as their leader

SIGNIFICANCE OF PRESENT
BLOODY RUSSIAN RIOTS
From the Denver News. -
From the Denver News.

The fact that blood is being shed in Russia. with
lots, "Jew-baiting," child murders and attendant horrors
must not be misinterpreted. 1t is primarily the work OF
he reactionaries, in the hope of forcing the car and his
minister's to reassert autocracy and military dictation.
1t is inevitable that in a country having a large ignor-
mt population times of excitement should yield drunken
less and brOils, but a careful study of conditions in Rus
'ia reveals something more than this. It shows the Cos
iacks either entirely undirected. left to their own AFRO
CANT, ignorant fury, or else secretly directed by their
ecent masters. The saber thrusts which have cut the
reads Of little children by hundreds came from Cossact
lands, and aimless and brutal charges upon the populace
ire reported by these brute servants of the autocracy.
The other military bodies are from and of the people,
tut the Cossacks are knit to the bureaucracy with the
yold bands of enormous pay and lifelong service. They
re cruel and merciless, bitterly opposed to any change
n the old regime.
The police, too, have been lawless and brutal, attack
ne the people irrationally, either by design or from sheer
)ower madness.
The persecution of the Jews, resisted when possible,
wen with dynamite, was to be expected. Race antagOn-
SIN is the favOrite weakness on which the clericals and
conservatives play whenever there is danger of a united
esistance to tyranny. Russia is a land of many peoples,
md not only are Gentiles easily set aginst Jews, but other
laionalities can be readily reused against each other
when deliberate attempts are made to- that end.
1t is evident that the attacks upon the Jews this
ime, as at the time of the Kishineff massacre, are the
work Of police and agents Of the old regime.
1t is not to be expected that the thousands who have
lived luXuriOusly as servants of the state church and of
he government should yield to a new order without a
possible to resist openly, all kinds of conspiracies to
rouse the people to riot were to be expected.
The only hope of these people lies in securing a reign
If terror which will brighten the government back into
$ old autocratic, military Entertainments. Evidently,
iowever, these efforts are proving Intellectual. Too many

In this issue of The Citizen is published a brief com
munication from a sojouruer i'm this city who naturally
is unfavorably impressed with the present condition Of.
Albuquerque streets. That the absence of crossings ano'
the unpaved road beds of the city, during the continuance
of such weather as is now being experienced, makes life
wearisome to the pedestrian and burdensome to those
who use vehicles, needs no discourse to establish; and
were such conditions characteristic of any considerable
part of the year, it is absolutely certain they would mo-.
be endured for another year. Our streets are like the,
little girl who, when she was good, was very, very good
and when she was bad she was horrid. But the good SO
much exceeds in length the period of the bad, that just

nj put the roof on, and when il didn't rain he had no use
for the roof But Albuquerque has gotten too large any
longer 10 submit TO village conditions. She has many
fine sidewalks, and she must have crossings and paved
road beds. There is less excuse for continued delay, m

macadamizing material in apparently exhaustless guam

Open Gambling Stopped.

An agitation has been started in the territory to pro
libit gambling, instead of licensing it. The arguments
against gambling are all sound, and theoretically speak
ng, 1t should be prohibited in the territory. The legisla
ure may pass the most stringent laws, but who would
'nforce them? In the large cities, like Albuquerque, Ros.
veil and others, where the sheriff is assisted by the local
)olice, it is probable that open public gambling could be
topped, but even in those towns gambling could not be
ntIrely stopped-Lordsburg Liberal.

PUMP ERR

The Socorro Chieftain says that it has for years al
vocated the idea of irrigating, by pumping, the lands
Of the Rio Grande valley in the vicinity of Socorro. Tha'
paper is therefore pleased that the idea is now bein}
put to a thorough and intelligent test by Messrs. A. II
Hilton and c. b. Allaire, of San Antonio, N. NJ, eacr
of whom is sinking a well with the expectation of secur
ing water with which to irrigate a considerable area o
land.
Several years ago this writer heard the present ter
ritorial superintendent Of schools, Professor Hiram Had
ley. ably urge before a public gathering, that irrigation
by pumping would be found in the long run cheaper AM
better in the Mesilla valley than irrigation from reser
vors impounding storm waters. The Stress of his argu
ment was placed upon the certainty and the celebrity will
which reservoirs, collecting the mudladen waters of tn
Rio Grande, must become filed with the silt borne by tn,
arrested waters.
The practicablity of irrigation by pumping must b.
locally determined by the height to which the water mus
be lifted by the pump, and the expense for the necessar.
fuel. Both of these factors, it would seem, ought to b
favorable in the valley around San Antonio and Socorrc
The underfow in the Rio Grande valley is by no mean
deep, and the nearness of that portion of the valley t
the Carthage coal fields should give cheap fuel.
The valley around Albuquerque is situated mos
~favOrably for pump irrigation, as the gardens in the i'm
mediate vicinity Enthusiastically show. But the same idea
condition exists in the river lowlands anywhere arounC
this city for a distance of fifty miles or more; since tn,
depth of the underlying water is shallow in all the sec
ton and the cheap electrical power from Albuquerqu'
can be carried to the lands by wire, doing away will
necessity for fuel and boilers and engines.

The city school board has a problem before it OF
equal interest and difficulty. It is to determine the soutl
boundary of the city west of the Santa Fe tracks. By al
ordinance enacted in 1885, Cromwell avenue was made
the south boundary from Hill street to the tracks, where
Cromwell street then ended, and it was enacted that west
of the tracks the line should be where Cromwell stree.
would be were it projected in a westerly direction to the
Rio Grande. Nicholas avenue subsequently grew up, ex
tending from the terminus Of Cromwell, at the tracks, il
a nortwesterly direction. The name of Nicholas wa
afterwards changed to Cromwell. Some maps of the city
have upon them two south lines, one following Nicholas
street and the other running from the same point Oh
the tracks and in a more directly westerly direction from
the termination of the original Cromwell avenue. Thus
a long triangular strip is formed. This is the debatabl6
ground. The school authorities were inclined to regard
the children in that strip as out of the city and to re
quire their parents to pay tuition or send the children tC
the Barelas school. The parents objected that their chill
dren had gone to the city schools for years and some OF
tn eparents were city tax payers. 1t is to be desired, for
many reasons, that the school board may decide to give
the children the benefit Of the doubt, if any doubt shall
be found to exist.

WEBER MAY
BE INSANE

That Nymore Man Is Not

Joe Weber, the Nylnore man
who was recently sentenced to
10 years at hard labor in the
states prison at Saltwater by
Judge McClenahan after having
pleaded guilty to a charge of in
cest, may be insane, according
to the belief of the prison author
tiles. Following his return to
Bemidji after having taken Weber
to Saltwater, Sheriff Bailey re-
ceived letter from Warden
Wolfer of the states prison ask
ing what he knew of Weber.
The sheriff replied that during
his continem emit at the county
jail in Bemidji awaiting trial
Weber acted queerly. Just what
action will be taken if it is found
that Weber is insane is not
