New Mexico. 1t ought to have been
a state long time ago. 1t is inexcus-
able that it is not a state now. 1 am
mighty interested in your irrigation
project (the Rio Grande project)-
Don't let your irrigation project get
mixed UP with any private enterprise
You want to keep the enterprise abso-
lutely free from any scandal or pri-
vate trickery of any kind. 1 don't
feel that New Mexico has been given
a square deal. Go on for a few
months and you will get it all right"

Mayor Cross of Burlington, Mayor
Johns of Fit. Madison and Mayor Ell

The bill, were it to be given a
classification, might be termed an
auxiliary measure to the one suggest

meeting in Des Moines, in which it is
proposed to create bureau, main

measure suggested by the Citizens

Legal authorization for the cities
to levy a tax for support of this de-

maintenance of the same levy of

gested. 1t is REMEMBERED that Attor-
