HEARS ARGUMENT
AS TO TARIFF RATES

Judge Edmund Waddill, Jr.. in the
United States court here for the East
ern District of Virginia, Saturday at
ternoon heard argument in the petit
ton of the Tennessee Central Rail-
way, which asks that the Southern
railway be restrained from changing
its tariff rates, which would, ii Is
alleged. work havoc with the plain
tiff. The matter will likely be con-
cluded late in the afternoon.

A FAIR APPROPRIATION.

The annual New Mexico fair IS
something IN which every New Mex
leo resident Is interested. In which
every county has a share and which
benefits and entertains no less the
visitor from Las Cruces than the one
from Pennington. we must have the
fair, we must make it a real state
fair and 90 that end Il Is absolutely
necessary that n state or territorial
appropriation be made annually. In
Arizona the territorial legislature APP
propriates fifteen thousand dollars
yearly To the event. with an appro-
priatlon Of even ton thousand the New
Mexico fair would be established on
best Investment the taxpayers could
make. TO set aside ten or fifteen thou
sand dollars for their annual fair. 1t
would remove the annual task of
spending weeks and months conduct
ing "a popular subscription Co raise
funds for the fair, and give the fair
association time to devote To the fair
Itself. Il b. the practice followed in
every state ia the union aud one tor
ritorS, and Why New McNico should
fail In this regard is not apparent
fhc fair just closed should bo the
last OF the subscription fairs. This
method has been worn out in New
MeNico. Tho people want the fair
and they wan a good one with a..
regular appropriation the admission
fee could be reduced and every year

POLICY MBF.It SIX.

Tonight at It's regular meeting the
Commercial club win take up policy
No. g. in the list of our Policies, .
recently framed by the organization.
This is the matter Of properly restrict
ing the practice Of soliciting funds
from the business men for various ana
sundry purposes. a practice which has
Increased so much IN tho past few
years that scarcely a day passes bat
what the merchant is waited on by a
c%anvasaer who seeks q contribution
10 some worthy or unworthy object;
an object which the merchant rarely
has time to properly Investigate. often
his money IS as good as stolen from
him and frequently his donation is
applied 20 q purpose OF which he does
not approve, or strongly disapproyes
So general has become this practice
that II has become q real burden and
the business men yearly contribute an
aggregate Of hundreds or thousands Of
dollars, a large portion Of which had
better be put in the safe or IN the
Golfers which hold the promotion
fund" Of the Commercial club.
The average business man, when a
solicitor appears with a list Of names,
hates to seem lacking in generosity
and thus often subscribes 10 something
which has no claim on his generosity
his public spirit. Much Of the
is not put to u use which ben
cfits Albuquerque, which benefits
charity or the church, or any Of those
public movements which the bulk Of
the citizens are glad 20 support.
II is believed that II "a regulation is
made that an solicitors must get the
%. X of the club or "a committee
0f the club, the undesirable part Of
the soliciting business may be ellm-
II this Is lone the merchant
when he ~ approached by the man

mediately that II Is legitimate and that

Of digestive agents. such as are nat

UNCLE SAM AND PRIVATE IRRI-
CATION.

While private capital Is successful,
reclaiming large areas Of ~irrigabI,
land in New Mexico, the sentiment n
favor Of government control, New
Mexlco's platform at the Pueblo con
gress, appears 70 be general in the
state. san Juan county had per
haps an unusual AMOUNT of trouble
over water rights as between private
enterprises. and the instance may not
be a criterion, but the Pennington
Times Hustler" in contrasting pri-
yate and government methods, points
out some undouhted advantages Of the
latter in the following:
AS to which is the better. san Juan
county affords n most notable illustra-
ton. Here in this county Is an album
dance OF water. We have lands that
VIII stand "A very high price per acre
for water. We have an eauable cli-
mate, which is %unexcellcd for health
ana comfort when taken the year
round. our lands when planted to
fruit. alfalfa or vegetables give ex-
ceptionally -remuneratfve returns. with
All these favorable conditions what
has been done here? Practically
nothing.
Unfortunately for us, the develop
mept of our lands and the beneficial
application Of water to them has been
left to private parties. The result has
been that rival claims Of spectators
nave been carried into court and an
work delayed pending decisions.
Compare thai with the develop
ment plan where development is made
nv the reclamation service at Las
Cruces. or the Roosevelt dam or the
Gunnison tunnel. Which do you think
best promotes the common good?
While an this time is being lost
and expensive litigation carried en-,
the price Of water rights has been
climbing Somebody has got to pay
the fiddler while this contest for profit
Is go.ng on ana you can bet it viii
not be- he prom )ter and builder.
THAT nice Ettlc burden viii be very
deftly shifted On 10 the shoulders ofI
the man wap lnaliy applies the water
TO the land. You can see this your
self, for this proposed price of water
has kept pace or wen more with the
Increasing value of lands here. Where
So per acre was once figured now
$50 per acre Is being asked and con
.rteted for.
These arc the bent sicial results OF
HE private enterprise system OF devel-
npmont the one that was to prove so
much superior to the government sys-
In the face Of such a concrete OK
ample as this we cannot see how any
Dne can doubt that the public system
'f development IS the best for the
Whole people. For whore the com
non good is promoted AN must profit

of the new Paris creations, a black
silk hobble gown and a long black
silk hobble coat.

The unusual and startling part of

veil Of blue and gold attached from

Milhoiland is likewise a suffragist.
As they stepped off the %gangplank
Mrs. Belmont asked a group Of re-
porters:
DID you hear about The splendid
suffrage meeting we held on board
the steamer Tuesday night? Senator
Scott of West Virginia made a fine
speech, and we won a lot of con
verte."
Though she went to London 10 visit
her daughter the Duchess of Murl-

voted To investigation of the suffrage
movement. and she denied vigorously
that she intended to give up the
work and declared herself moro en-
