Heads of Cattle Growers AssoCia-
ton of New Mexico Say Horns and
Hides People Are Carrying More
Than an Equitable Share of Terri
t0ry's Financial Burden.

That was most important mission
upon which w. G. Mcdonald and
William c. Barnes came to Santa Fe
yesterday. Mr.. Mcdonald resides at
Carrizozo, Lincoln County, and is
president of the Cattle Growers Asso-
ciation of New Mexico. Mr.. Barnes is
secretary of that association as well
as of the Cattle Sanitary Board of the
Territory. Besides which, he is one
of the few men of literary genius in
the land who combine an artistic tenn
permanent with business capacity. In
Arizona and New Mexico people know
Mr.. Barnes as one of the most success
full cattle growers in the country. In
the east they think of him as an au.
thor and poet. His visit to Santa Fe
at this time in company with Mr.. Nc
Donald is due to cattle and cattle only.
They are en- route to the great Live
Stock meet at Denver, but while here
they put in one of the busiest days of
their lives debating the question of
cattle tax with the Board of Equaliza-
ton. Later they were jointly inter-
viewed by representative Of this pa.
per to whom they repeated some of
the facts which they laid before the
board.
What They Want.
1--WE urge" said they, chat the
rate of cattle taxation be fixed at $8
a head instead of $12 which it now is.
While we do not claim that So is face
value, we do assert that it is at that
figure more than the rate of any other
class of property in New Mexico and
less productive of profit. In fact, al.
though property is never taxed at full
face value, cattle have been taxed be-
yond their value. Take the general
run of cattle over the Territory and
they probably would not bring more
than $40 a head.
"Now the cattle men are willing to
do what is right. They lost money
last year and they will lose money this
year. While they stand willing to bear
their just proportion of the Territory's
revenue raising burden, they are un-
able to take more than their share of
this responsibility. It is easy enough
to talk about the need of tax money,
but when we are making no money
and must pay exorbitant taxes on our
net losses, there is nothing left for us
but to quit the business and the cattle
business is the second largest indus
try In the Territory, not including any
estimate upon the value of grazing and
ranch lands owned by the cattlemen.
Next to the railroads, which are as
sessed at about $S,00O.0 900, comes the
cattle industry with a valuation OF
about $6,0O0,000. Of course, the value
Of the ranches would materially In.
crease this figure.

Nan Patterson's beauty has been the
cause of other troubles in which lives
have been forfeited An actor in another

over her refusal and committed SUICIDE

Nan Patterson remained in the west
with Young until last spring. They Wis

and other prominent racing centers on

Origin Of a Phrase.

What is the derivation of the phrase
sMad as a hatter?" One explanation is
that it was originally French. AS mad
as an OYSTER (huitre), that bivalve be-
ing supposed to be extremely unlntel-
lectuaL Another theory is that the
phr..e had reference to Collins. the Eng
Fish poet, author of the "Ode to the Pas

with whom he was confined at one time
called him .'the halter and that the

looks. as she grew older, turned he
thoughts in directions wholly opposed
to that intended for her by her parents
and before she was many years in he
teens she went to New York and OBJ
tanned a place in the chorus.
Stage life caused her to forget the re
ligious training she had received. Tht
glitter of the spangles and the gay life
of the actor folk appealed to her andshs
decided to become great actress.

began to haunt the stage door and make
her acquaintance.
The flowers and champagne suppers
they furnished were also not amiss.

and more than one, smitten with her
beauty, laid. their hearts at her feet
and begged her hand in marriage
But she refused them all. and finally

Her Meeting with Young. Il
The combining bonds of matrimony
were evidently not to her liking, and
when .Floradora,' a musical comedy
which had gained great popularity in
London mainly through the famous
sextette, was imported. she applied for
and obtained position in the front row.
The company was organized to tour
the country. and was totextend to the
Pacific coast. This gave her an oppor-
tunity to visit California, something she
had always longed for.
ID 1t was on this trip that she met Young,
whose tragic death has caused her SO
much misery and sorrow.
Young was prominent and success
full horseman and bookmaker He had
horses running on nearly all of the pronl-
inent tracks ofthecountry, and was re-
puted to be worth half a million dollars.
Although married mar, he immedi-
