THE NEW CONSTITUTION.
By Prof. P. A. Grove.

Too much emphasis has been
placed upon the defecUs of the
constitution. Now let us look
at its good points, and how it
will affect as personally. In
the first place, st is provided to
tax the resources of the state;
such as coal, minerals, oil etc.
The item of coal alone is 5 cts.
per ton on the output of over
100000 tons per year, amount
ing to 5000, 900 of revenue from
ury, coming into the state treas
ury And there will be greater
revenue from other resources.
This will help pay those large
salaries complained of. All this
profit now goes to the corpora
tions; why not give it to deserv-
ing officers, and keep our mon
ey at home? Then there is the
Inheritance tax. Wyen large
estates are distributed among
the heirs a portion Of it will so
to the state. This will be an
other large source of revenue,
now entirely lost. Taxation
will be less, altho some try to
make cut otherwise. Taxation
may be, if necessary, u mills,
or 81 90 Oh the hundred, for first
two years, and after that can
not exceed $1.00 on the hundred.
Now we pay SO 80, on a basis
of ] valuation-equal to 81. 1853
Another good point, to the
farmer, is that plowed lane is tC
be assessed the same as sod lane
therefore blowing does not in
crease the tax, and our dlylanC
farms would be assessed at only
81 % per acre, whereas ploweC
land has been assessed at SO. so
Now, Mr.. Farmer and Tax
Payer, that's the way the OLE
thing works. Read and figur,
out for yourself and see if you
taxes will not reduce from / to
from what you are now paying
Statehood will pay financially
besides the prestige and priv
lege Of free government.

If we can't govern ourselves
and pay our officers a decent
salary we had better petition the
government to put us on a res
ervation and appoint guardian
for us, the same as it does for
the Indians. Statehood is GER
tainly the remedy for existing
evils.
Finally: We have over So
900 school children-and state
hood provides for them by set
ting aside 140 acres for each,
valued at $500. In the aggre-
gate it would amount to more
than $40, OOO,O 900. This would
certainly be an improvement
over our present condition.
Statehood will lessen the vo-
ter's tax, help to educate his
children more extensively, and
give him better government.
These are distinct benefits that
touch us where we live, every
day. What though the judicial
and representative districts may
not have been apportiondd to
suit us? If it was changed to
suit us it surely wouldn't suit
the majority, who have arrang-
ed it. Let the majority rule,
when it is for our benefit sa well
as for theirs. There is no re-
lief from the situation. If we
vote down the constitution the
same delegates will be convened
again by law-not by reelection
and will do practically the
same thing over, and our oppor-
tuuity is lost.

LOWER FARM AREA.
Movement to Help 320-Acre Men in Amount
Of Land They must Till,
Bright Prospects.

For some time Attorney K. X,
Scott has been directing a move
ment for the relief of the 800
acre entrymen in Chaves county
and the valley.
Under the regular law it is
equired that eighty acres Of
such 800 be kept in regular cul-
tivation, and under normal con-
ditions there would not be the
slightest objection to this re-
quirement. Under the climatic
conditions that have prevailed
this year, and threatens TO hold
into the next crop year, there is
a very serious objection.
A large number of the entry
men have been compelled to
leave their claims for a while in
order to make a living, and in
some cases they have been fore
ed to sell their work stock, so
that at the opening of another
seed season, it is next to imposs-
ible for them to meet the require
ments of the law. The design
of the relief measure is to cut
down the cultivated area TO ?
figure that they can put in, IN
til that time when the climate
resumes its normal behavior.
Mr.. Scott has succeeded in in.
teresting Governor Mills in the
matter, and the executive has
turned his powerful influence to-
wards Washington, stimulating
Delegate Andrews and getting
the promise of an early consid
Grafton in the matter from thu
secretary of the interior, will
whom lengthy petitions have
been filed from the interested
eutrymen and others familiar
with the facts.
The matter is one Of the grea
est importance to hundreds 0
the patrons of the Register-Tri
bune, and Mr.. Scott has prom
ised to advise us at the earlies
moment when action is had b,

five ACCIDENTS
INSTEAD OF ONE
Notwithstanding Denial of SUI
perintendent, Men Claim Pay
ment for Injuries.

Further investigation into the COM
plicated situation at the Gas Works
growing out of the action of the Com
mon Council on Monday night in al
lowing five lain for men injured in
an explosion, followed the next morn
Ing by the empratic and positive denial
of superintendent Knowles that there
had been any accident there. brings
out the fact that instead of n acci-
dent, az stated in the Council there
have been five.
The five men whose claims were pre-
sented were apparently injured at diff
ferent times, though no mention was
made OF the fact until the Council was
asked to authorize payment for the
time lost while injured. a customary
proceeding when the claims are ac-
companied by physicians certificates.
and the city is released from further
claims for damages.
s~ubchairman Ratclife. of the Light
Committee. said yesterday that he had
made inquiry and found that tho men
We're injured at separate times. MIR.
Ratcltffe said that his information was
that the claims were meritorious. and
should be paid, and that while the APP
plications were not accompanied by a
release to the city. the usual custom
was to have the City Attorney draw
a receipt form to be signed by the men
before drawing their allowances, saw
ing the city harmless from any claim
for damages.
It was Mr.. Rogers. of the Light Com
mittee, who In the meeting of the Com
mon Council explained in answer to
Mr.. Fuller's questions. that there had
been some sort of back draft or
~"nareback" at the works, In which the
men had been injured. From state
ments made yesterday it seems that
one of tho men was burned While
hunting for a leak In a gas meter
with a match. in a house on FRANKLIN
Street: that another let a brick fall on
his foot, and that the other accidents
were of a character which might oc-
cur In any manufacturing plant. The
five claims will go to the Board of
Aldermen on Tuesday night for concur
renee. Unless Mr.. Knowles persists
In his denial that there has been any
accident, 1t is probably that the
amounts will be ordered paid All of
the claims have the approval OF the
committee on Light.
Practically all of the members OF the
Council were under the impression
from statements made by members of
the Light Committee. and especially
Mr.. Rogers that all Of the men had
been injured in a single accident. II
now appears that there was a series
OF smaller accidents on different dates,
when individual men were hurt. None
of the accidents was made pubic at
the time they are alleged to nave oc-
cured.

INSANITY GROWS
AT ALARM|NGR RATE
However, Lives OF Insane Are
Being Prolongcd-Races
Have Same Proportion.
REoUIsITIoN is HELD UP
Prisoner Resists Attempt to
Take Him West-Military
Orders Isstied.

Containing a compilation of the stu
%tistics of the different state hosp,tais
Tor tile insane, as already FeNle@ei
individually, the eighth annual report
OF ). nj. Bauserman, state Comlnlssioif
er of Hospitals. was made yesterday 70
the Governor. No facts are auduce,i
which have not already been publisnea,
except that the figures are compiled so
as to afford comparisons.
1t would appear from the report mat
insanity continues to increase at q Tear
full rate In Virginia. At least the
number of those committed to hospitals
grows out of all proportion TO the m
creaseSin population. At the end OF
the past fiscal year, the total NUMBER
of patients in all the hospitals was
1928, an increase of 203 over the pre-
vious year. Taking the growth OF
population in this State for the past
ten years. and assuming that the In
crease has been prasctically the same
Tor each year., it will be seen that the
number of insane patients for N year
has Increased five times as fast as fie
population.
Saving Lives.
However, there Is another side 70
this. 1t lies in the fact that many : YES
arc being prolonged by separate care
of the tuberculosis insane insthe hos
pitfalls. Probably. also, increasing
knowledge among the alienists does Its.
work in that direction. So while tn
sanity grows much faster than popula-
ton. the increase is not so enormous
as would be shown from the face OF
the figures.
Among the races the proportion of
insane seems to be practically the
same-about "a per cent of the total
population of the state being negroes
and about "a per gent. Of the insane
belonging to that race.
h insane are divided among the
hospitals as follows: Western. 1913:
Eastern, 700; Southwestern. $40; Cen
trail. 1875. The cost per capita per
for maintenance differs a good
deal, being affected by the nature OF
the plant and by the number at the
institution. At the Western Hospital
the cost during the past year was
S121.62; at the Eastern, s157.59: at the
Southwestern. s126.a3. and at the Cen
trail, Sl05.6e.

FOR LUMBER BILL
Alleges That Turnbull & Son Re
ceived Timber Cut From
Minnesota Reservation.

For accepting timber cut from a gov
eminent reservation and refusing to
make restitution, suit for $1,000 was
entered yesterday in bfle United States
Circuit Court by District Attorney L. l.
Lewis against Robert w, Turnbull &
Son, Albert Turnbull surviving part
ner.
1nathe declaration filed 1t is set forth
that lumber valued at $018.50 was un'
lawfully cut In Minnesota several years
ago by Edward Peavy and Iohn Gill
mer and sold ito Robert w. Turnbull,
who died recently, Therefore the ac-
ton is brought against his son.
1t is further alleged by the United
States that this timber was bought by
fTurnhull & Son with the knowledge
that 1t had been ~fraudulently cut from
the reservation. AT the time was
delivered. the declaration states. 1t bore
government marks.
For some time the government has
unsuccessfully attempted to collect q
bill of s91S,5o.
