SUBMIT INCOME TAX TO STATES

As was expected, the house has FOL
lowed the Senate's example aud has
adopted the resolution to submit the
question Of the income tar amendment
to the states. The vote in the house
was not quite so one sided as IL was
in the Senate, where II was unanimous.
In the House, however it was 3lT to
IA, which is large enough for the i'm.
mediate purpose. The issue is now
handed owe to the states, which may
or may not sanction the amendment
proposition.
The vote on the resolution In each
house does not reveal the attitude Of
any OF the members TO the tax itself.
II only means that each branch il will
ing that the tates shall have a chance
TO vote upon il. Many members who
declared in favor Of letting the states
have an opportunity to tell whether
they are for or against the proposition
will oppose IL when II comes up in the
elections for members Of their legis.
latures. Mr.. Aldrich voted for the
resolution in his chamber. lie helped
TO draw IL up. But he is opposed to
its adoption by the states. When il
comes before Rhode Island for action
he viii work and vote against IL. The
same is true Of many other members
Of his chamber and Of many Of those
in the House who supported the reso.
luton.
II Is well that this matter comes up
for action now The country has been
listening 10 income tax for so many
years that il il time to bring the ques.
ton Of it's strength with the people
TO a test. As three fourths Of the
states will have 10 declare for the
amendment In order to adopt Il the
outlook for II Is not so bright a. many
Of its champions believe. The adverse
vote Of twelve Of the forty six states
would defeat IL. II must get the sane
tion Of thirty.fve states in order TO
win. Most OF the great Industrial
states are expected to vote against IL.
The sir New England states, with New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Ohio, and Illinois, are look.
cd upon as likely to go against IL.
These would be sufficient TO defeat II.
The campaigns for the legislatures
which viii vote on the Issue will be
exciting. The question sin be more
important than any other which is
likely to be before the people In those
y~ears.-Olobe Demoerat.

CAMPBELL SYSTEM SAID
TO BE THE BEST.

j. g. Walker, postmaster at Allen,
was in town Wednesday and was an
appreciated caller at the News Office.
Walker says he noticed in his com
munity that the farmer who has fol
lowed as hest he could the Campbell
System Of cultivation has made q
reasonable success in most of the crops
grown here. Early Indian corn in his
community is badly damaged with tas
sell worms. These worms bore right
into the young tassell just as II IN
starting TO boot out Of tho shuck and
then after the tassell il ruined the
worm continues downward through the
stalk and absolutely ruins the corn.
II seems that the only crops effected
by this pest are the early paintings,
the late stuff showing no signs Of
worm blight. Mr.. Walker believes that
crops Of all kinds do better II plant.
cd after June !, he says hat Il has
been his experience ever since he came
to the country four years ago that
early stuff is always damaged by
worms, and that early crops do not
stand the drought as well as later
stun. II is a fact now that most ear
ly corn il going to he almost a failure
except in favored localities where rain
has fallen every week or 30, in many
instances the worms have done what
the drought has done in the drier sec.
tons, and the June paintings are look.
ing fine and promise good average
All forage crops are growing
and looking as well as one could ca.
peet, Mr.. Walker believes there will
be no such thing as failure Of crops
In this country when the people get
to understand the Campbell System Of
and cultivation. But no be
that they mast do so before dc.
results may be had.

The people of Tcxico Farwell aud

at work and expects to raise this
amount IA the next few days II each
one will do their share.
Not only does Texico Farwcll So
cure the railroad but also the round

TAX RATE TOO HIGH
VALUATION TOO Low.

Following the announcement that
delinquent taxes are to be collected In
sandoval county where from 100000
to $4,000 are in arrears, as = result
Of which the county is in practically
q bankrupt condition, information is
at hand to the effect that district at.
torneys all owe the territory are likely
to become active in \ like direction In
the immediate future.
At the recent meeting Of the dis
triet attorneys In santa Fe the mat.
ter Of equitable assessments and the
collection Of taxes was one Of the
principal matters taken upafor discus
sion by the attorney general. The dis
trict attorneys are to meet In Santa
Fe again about August goth, when
the supreme court IL In session and
this matter will be one of the chief
topics again. 1t Is learned that San.
doval county In not the only county
in New Mexico where taxes are heay.
lily In arrears. There are several Of
the older counties which have been
heavy sufferers from the delinquency
Of heavy property owners for years
past and 1t Is proposed to remedy this
difficulty rs far rs possible.
The tax rate In New Mexico has be.
come q serious matter Of late, not be.
cause Of the actual burden in dollars
and cents, but in the low assessment
Of property which makes the tax rate
sbnormally high in the tax lists while
In realty II is no higher than the rate
in many other states and territories
Last winter during the Legislature
Governor Curry made a strong effort
to remedy the low rate Of assessment
lie called the county commissioner
together for u conference which pro.
dueed good results, but. the commits,
sioners stopped before reaching the
desired result; an agreement to estab.
lish a uniform rate Of assessmen,
throughout the territory. Governor
Curry has been persistent in his ef
forts to bring this about, and tbs
activity of the district attorneys is
likely to contribute materially to tn,
effect desired.
There has been much discussion
among property owners in Albuquer
que Of late Of organizing q taxpayers
league and il is believed that thi,
movement, once started and organized
without any political connection viii
have a marked effect in the immsjist,
future in regulating assessments
Such a movement would undoubtedly
spread rapidly in New Mexico, espec
tally among business men who are ia
a position TO realize fully the disad
vantages Of q high tax rate, and low
and unequal assessments.

The mercury was at It's lowest for so

II was with quite m effort that II did

The cool spell was general Y the

were relieved Of the intense heat for

DANISH KING WILL
DECORATE DIR. COOK

COPENHAGEN, Sept s.-If any evil
dence is needed to establish Denmark's S
valuation of Doctor Cook it can be
found in the fact that he is to receive
the highest tokens within its gift. The
king is, to confer on him the gold medal
of merit with the crown, which only
three other geographers. Nansen, Sven
Hedin and Amundsen are entitled to
wear. The geographical society will
bestow upon him its gold medal, which
has been given to four other travellers
only, Nansen, Captain Scott, Hedin and
Sverdrup.
HIGH HONOR FOR COOK
The geographical society Of Denmark
numbers among its members more ex
perts in Arctic research than any other
body in. the world. It's decision to ex-
tend the honor to Doctor Cook was not
formed without deliberation. The rec
tor of the University OF Copenhagen,
man of profound learning, interviewed
Doctor Cook for an hour He ques-
pressed his firm belief in the truth of
Cooks statements.
The longer Dr. Cook remains in CO.
penhagen the more completely is his
standing established. The correspond
ent of the Associated Press heard him
cross examined by competent question
ers half dozen times. His replies
were so quick, coherent and detailed
