THE APPROPRIATION BILL
Treats All of Educational Institu-
tions OF the Territory Alike.

The following dispatch which
appeared in the Albuquerque
Journals Thursday edition is
perfectly iutelligible without
comment:
The appropriation bill in
troduced i'll the house last Friday
by the house finance committee
has appeared in printed form and
while no formal discussion of
the bill has occurred there is
plenty OF informal discussion.
The appropriations all along
the line are considerably reduced.
All of the educational institutions
are placed on the same basis Of
this bill, or $4,000 each. This
is cut over the appropriation
made for the University last
year of 81, 500. The original
house bill, could it stand, would
make the lowest appropriations
for all purposes for a number of
years and would bring about "A
considerable reduction in the tax
rate. That the figures laid
down by the original bill will
not stand is generally admitted.
Sufficient appropriation is not
made for the University nor for
others of the educational institu-
tions and changes will undoubted-
ly be made as to several other
appropriations, some of which
will be increased and others de-
creased. The original bill in its
present provisions follows closely
the last appropriation bill"

COUNCIL BILL NUMBER 80
Involving the Taxing OF Sheep Was
Killed in the House.

Council bill number thirty
three was killed in the house of
representatives. One feature of
the bill provided for the repeal
of the present law requiring
sheep to be taxed in the county
in which they Craze rather
than in the county in which the
owner resides. The Chieftain
has repeatedly stated its objcc-
tion to that feature of the bill
If the bill had been enacted into
law, there would have been a
return to the conditions which
formerly prevailed when non
resident sheep growers paid the
taxes on their hundred Thousand
or more sheep in Socorro county
into the treasures of neigh bor-
ing counties and increased by Just
that much the burden of taxa
tion borne by residents of Socor-
ro county. This would have
been a gross injustice and the
taxpayers of this county have
the members of the lower house
of the Legislative assembly to
thank for their escape from such
an imposition.

UNIONS WILL NOW ALLOW USE OF
 THE CARS.
AmaIgamated Association of Employees Issues an Announcement to All Persons In Sympathy With
 Locked Out Men.

Birmingham, June 6.-(Specia1.)- The general order issued to members of unions to refrain from using cleo tric cars and burning gas and other commodities, practically boycott, giv- ing sympathy thereby to the former employees of the street railway. who formed a union and lost their positions, has been called off.
 The following announcement was given out this afternoon from the off, flee of the attorneys for the union men:
 Birmingham, Ala, June 6, 1907
 At meeting of the local union No 468 of the AmaIgamated Association oi Street and Electric Railway Empioyes of America we the undersigned com mittee have been authorized to request those who have been refraining iron riding on cars to again use them al their pleasure. This action was taken as we think 1t would be an injustice tt those who have sympathized with us and so nobly supported us. To con. tinue to walk we feel would be an in. justice to themselves.
 we feel that we have made a noble fight against one of the most gigantic corporations in the city, and said fight has been void of any violence on the part of organized labor. Organized labor has put itself on record in op- position to the tyrannical tactics Of unfair corporations, and is always ready to assist those who are battling for American liberty.
 "Granting that we have not accom- pllshed what we so desired, to continue the fight is our opinion would be un- fair and cause a great deal of incon- venience to the working men and wo' men of Birmingham and the Birming- ham district. This we do not wish to do, for we appreciate what they have so nobly done for us in our struggle for our rights.
 However. we wish to appeal to or ganized and unorganized labor fo further financial assistance, so tha our members will be able to ge along while seeking work. We, in be half of all of us. wish to thank thos who have so untiringly stood by us | time of need

Hanover. N, H., June 6-(Special)- Dartmouth won today's game by a score of to 1, as Chapman had not fully recovered from the effects of the stormy trip from Savannah to Boston.
 Saunders again went into the box for Alabama and although hit freely. the magnificent support of his team mates prevented Dartmouth from SCOT ing but twice.
 For five innings not a Dartmouth man reached third base. In the sixth two successive base on balls. and a safe bunt filled the bases for the New Hampshire boys, and a third base on balls forced in the first run of the game. The next three men were easy outs on infield hits. Dartmouth's sec ond run came in the eighth as a result of a three -bagger and a single in rapid succession.
 fourth, Noo1in singled, was advanced to second on Caffey's sacrifice and scored ou a long fly to deep center, which was dropped by Dartmouth outfielder
 Noojin and Pope pulled off fast double play which cut off Dartmouth's s possible chance of further scoring in the last half of the eigth.
 Skilling pitched magnificent ball for Dartmouth. striking out Ehirteon Ala bama men, and holding the Southern CTS down to four hits

TO TALK TO
 THE FARMERS Plant Scientist to Make
 Tour. TO CANVASS SECOND DISTRICT Professor D. A. Brodie Coming to
 Montgomery. Congressman Wiley Receives Letter From washington OmciaI Prom ising to Assist and Advise
 Farmers Here.

Hon. A. A. Wiley, Congressman from the Second Alabama District, is in re-
 ceipt of letter from Professor D. A.
 Brodie. Assistant Agriculturist in the
 Bureau of Plant Industry of the Az
 ricultural Department at Washington.
 promising to be in Montgomery Mon-
 day, June 17, for a tour of the Second
 District, to assist and advise the far
 mers and planters of this section of
 Alabama.
 It Is believed that much can be done
 by intelligent direction of the scien- lists who spend their time at Washing ton experimenting as to manners and
 modes of tncreasing the efficiency ot
 the cultivation of the soil, and the ad-
 dress that Professor Brodie will make in this district will be with the idea
 of assisting the farmers to get larg- CT and better returns for their in- vestments of money and labor upon their farms.
 The letter from Professor Brodie. in which he agrees to come to Ala bama, Is as follows; Hon. A. A. Wiley.
 Montgomery Ala. Dear Sir.-I have been requested by
 the honorable secretary of agriculture to communicate with you relative to trip through your congressional dis trict in the interest of farming in general.
 T have before me your letter of May 29 to Dr. Galloway with the newspa- per clipping. I note by this that you
 mention June 12 as being a convenient time to meet ynu. I wish to state, however. that 1t will be much more convenient for me to meet you about the 17th. when I could spend the fol- lowing week with you. T would suggest that in order that there be no delay you give wide cir
 culation of these meetings at the
 places you intend to stop. so that we
 can start put on the 17th, and if the
 pie will have time to prepare them- selves for the meeting. T have found 1t absolutely necessary in my work to give special attention
 to this point, not only to have the
 meetings advertised in time. but to
 have them thoroughly advertised. as
 1t is very hard to get the farmers out
 unless this Is done.
 Tt is barely possible that an expert
 from the section of tobacco investiga- tions will be able to be with us. If
 so, you will no doubt hear from this
 section within a few days. Yours very truly, (Signed.) ID. A. Brodies Assistant Agriculturist." An itinerary has been arranged ac | cor6ing to which Professor Brodie will
 address the farmers of the district a l follows:

Lewis Harcourt and Herbert Glad stone are not the only sons of mem bers of former governments holding places in the present British cabinet. The Marquess of Rfpon. for example, is the son of Lord Goderich, who was A prime minister in 1927. The Earl of Elgin also is the son of cabinet minister. his father having filled the office of postmaster general before going out of India as viceroy. Sir Edward Grey is the grandson of a cabinet minister. his grandfather, whom he succeeded having served in Pal merston's cabinet. That father and son should hold cabinet rank is noth- ing unusual.

DAINTY FOOD.
Turns Pale Cheeks to Pink

Our best physicians of the present day seek to cure patients by the use of food. rather than drugs, and this is the true method for all physicians agree that only from food can the bo1y be rebuilt.
 Many people fail to give their physl- clans credit, for after living on poorly selected or badly cooked food for a long time, perhaps, and when their ailments become chronic, they expect the Doctor, with some magic potency, to instantly rebuild them.
 This Is not possible. The only true method is to turn as quickly as can be, to proper food. A Cincinnati. O., young lady says: T was variously etc. but the treatment gave me no relief from my ails

AFFECTING THE STAGE.
Unions Cause Decline of Interest in the
 Drama.


 American Hebrew.
 Though the fears of the devotees or the literary drama may prove untound- ed, there seems to be good reason Tor saying that the Hebrew drama mas IS bound to give cause for anxiety to all those interested in this remarkable dramatic development, which has, In the space of thirty years. produced so many recruits to the American stage.
 In casting about for a scapegoat, stars. managers and dramatists have blamed the theatre unions There are half a dozen unions, emDraclng every phase of the theatrical business. from the hair dresser to the leading players. The rules promulgated by these organ izations have reduced the star. mana gers to impotency in so far as the choice of their players is concerned, The union compels the manager to em- ploy first the union men out of employ ment, then If he needs more actors, ne may use non-union players, who must at once become members of the union under impossible conditions. No mat ter how old the union actor may be, or how incompetent he may have become, owing to old age or physical debility, he must be employed in preference to a novice who may have talent.
 The players are under no oollga- tions to please the managers. The union protects them. and the manager Is helpless in the face of incompetence. When A novice wants to become an ac- tor he Is told to go and get a reputa- ton in the provinces. If he returns with a reputation he Is put through an examination which is usually decided by the economic interests of the union rather than by professional fitness. These relations between managers and the union have placed both elements In the position of hostile forces, each seeking to get the better of the other.
 The unions also have story to tell. They say that they were compelled to organize in order to protect themselves against the managers. who had become mercenary. Jealous and abusive The managers at one time took advantage of the needs of actors, treated them to gross indignities and made them feel that they were machines--as mechan- les, therefore, they decided to have a union to protect themselves. If their rules are somewhat stringent, they say, the rapacity of the star-managers must be taken into account.
