winter range only, lands largely de-
pendent on tank water and SHOWS.
lands dependent on wells and wind
mills, desert lands unused, and lastly

that there is in the Pecos Valley
more cultivated land than in the re-

Native Mexicans Good Citizens.

Native Mexicans God Citizens.
From Tucson (Ariz.) Star.
Those of the antf-statehood indi-
viduals who are wont to criticize and
misrepresent the Mexican citizenship
of New Mexico and Arizona belong
to a class of people generally found
in the anarchistic class. The disturb
ers of public tranquility are general
ly opposed to the government-any
kind of government. LIE us ask right
here, who ever heard of anarchy am
ong Mexicans? Who ever heard of
Mexican citizens of Arizona of New
Mexico being leaders of strikes or
mobs? There is not a single case on
record.
1t is true there a number of
Mexicans in the Clifton-Morenci dis
turbances, but they were coerced or
led into the strike by other foreign
ers. None of the Mexicans were ma
tfves of the United States.
Not a single instance can be found
or cited where native born Mexican
citizens ever initiated or joined in a
strike or a~narchistic movement. Can
thus much be said of the class of for
eigners who abuse and misrepresent
them?
