New York, May 22-President RoOse-
welt has been requested 70 take cogni-
zance of the situation that has oeen
brought about by the Equitable Life
Assurance Society trouble and to insti-
tute 4 national investigation of the in

ed. The inquiry into the beef trust
and the present Standard Oil invesri-
cation are quoted as presidents.
This requestion was made by w. F.
King, former president Of the Mer-
chants association of this city, who
has written the president as a policy
holder in several companies, asking
that such an investigation be made un-
der the interstate commerce law that
should be deemed not practica bic. Mr.
King asks the president to appoint 4
national commission on the lines of
the coal commission that settled the
anthracite strike to make an inquiry
and report. in case the president de
cides that he has no jurisdiction" said
Mr.. King today, ''it is my purpose To

agitation in every state in the union

A VIEW.

The papers OF Deming and Alamo
gordO have gotten over their disap-
polntment and take a broad and SEN
sible view regarding the choice OF this
place for the institution.
The last number OF the Deming
Headlight says:
Some OF our disappointed aspir-
ants for the location Of the great
Fraternal sanitarium are bowling and
tearing their hair, and a~ttributing bad
faith to the committee and claiming
promises which. to our knowledge,
were never made. The charge that
the proposition from Las Vegas had
been accepted before the last visit
OF the committee to the territory. Is
without foundation. The truth Is, that
we all entertained the committee
and put forth our best efforts to con
vince them that our location was the
best. Deming did her part and we are
glad we did II, and If the committee
would visit us again they would find
the latch-string hanging out and
would receive AS cordial a reception
as they did In either Of their former
visits.
We understand and appreciate that
the fact OF their locating In New Mex
leo will do more to advertise and call
attention to the world that New Mex
leo Is the greatest health resort on
earth, than everything else which has
occurred In so years past.
The location at Las Vegas Will not
bar any location OF merit In New Mex
leo from following In the same lines.
lf the experiment al Las Vegas Is n
success In the treatment and cure OF
tuberculosis there will be dozens OF
similar locations all over New Mexico
and II IL la not a success the National
Fraternal association will find one
that is--as the object and purposes
OF the association are not to build UP
any special city--but to find a place
where they can cure the greatest mum
Der Of these unfortunate sufferers.
Demlng's climatic conditions have
cured hundreds OF these afflicted pe0
pie without any sanitarium, and the
good work Is still going on, The town
Ii growing and improving all the time
and will continue to grow, sanitarium
o no sanitarium.
There are over one million Of these
tuberculosis subjects in the United
States and no one place can take care
Of them all. We predict that over
100000 of these people will be seek.
Ing relief In New Mexico before the
end Of next year and It stands to rea-
son that they will be scattered all
over New Mexico wherever the best
conditions exist.
Las Vegas has succeeded In con
v1ncing the committee that they have
the place and they have done this to
a great extent by the endorsement OF
the United States government physic.
ians, and since this has been done.
It Is the duty OF every well wisher for
the interest and prosperity OF this
land Of sunshine and health, to aid
and assist the association in their
great work for humanity.

thinks about municipal ownership

ance than what she will think about
II in couple of dozen months. The
problem Is different In the United

tries, because Of the peculiar nature
of our politics. II would be rather
divertlng, TO one who had no heart,
TO see municipal operation under the
guidance of such men as Charley
Martin. Johnny Powers. and Hinky
Dink. but fortunately the Chicago
council. although II suffered deterora-
tion in the last election. still seems
to have n majority of decent mem

American cities in which self-govern-
ment comes nearest TO meaning gov
eminent according to the wishes of
respectable citizens, and not accord
ing to the private needs of thieving

The suit was brought To forcethc

CHICAGo's EXPERIMENT.

Municipal ownership may become
suddenly and strongly popular, as
free silver once was, and the senti-
ment may eventually prevail in many
of our larger cities, but II probably
Will never be a success as long as
We have the kind of municipal poll
ties we have in the cities.
Take Chicago, for instance. Sup
pose II buys the street railways. II
will have to issue millions of dollars
worth of bonds to do IL, and the peo-
pie will have to pay the interest. They
viii have to still pay to ride, and out
side the question whether or not the
revenue from the utilities will pay
the cost of operation and the interest
on the bonds issued to own them,
will be that of good service. IL peo-
pie have cause to complain of the
service now, what will they have
then? The car lines will ultimately,
II not Immediately. fall under the
pull and perhaps know nothing
OF operating cars, where at present
they are under the management of
men who have. spent years in the
study and operation of such utilities,
and who are selected solely with a
view to efficiency. The contrast will
be apparent The people will seq
that they have strayed OFF after false
gods, but II will then be too late.
The politicians in power will ever
strive TO make the operation as re-
munerative as possible to themselves
and their beneficlaries, and every in
crease In the expenditures will mean
added burdens to the people. OF
course as good men could be employ
ed to manage public utilities under
municipal ownership as under pri-
yate ownership, but they wouldn't
be. There's the rub. Thousands of
people who advocate municipal own
ership do so under the delusion that
municipal ownership means free SER
vice, Thousands do not, Many prob.
ably do II because they believe in the
theory, which is all right. but like
many other theories never pans out

riment will be watched with interest
all over the world, but as the editor

"since the Chicago election there
has been much talk elsewhere OF city
ownership of public utilities. In a
year or two, when II is seen just how
much Judge Dunno is likely to ac-

II is very clear why Blackburn
supporters are urging Judge Payn-
ter to resign his place on the Appel
late bench. II is not because they
think he ought to resign, or are in
the least solicitous for the welfare
of the state. but simply that they
think II they can force him to accept
the alternative of resigning or quit
ting the race, he will draw of the
track In preference to giving up a
sure thing for an uncertainty. Judge
Paynter seems to have effectually
called the bluff by refusing to re-
sign.
