TARIFF TO BE REVISED
Democratic House Leaders Begin Mak-
 ing Plans For Extra Session-To Pass Reciprocity Treaty.

The Democratic ways and means committee, headed by Representative Oscar w. Underwood, has begun meet Ings to select the house committees for the extra session and to plan the legis- lation the house will take up In the ses- sion That the new house of represent ntives will pass the Canadian reciproc- lty agreement is regarded as a fore gone conclusion. The one question in this connection that is dividing the Democrats is whether it shall be put through at once or be made to wait the passage of general tariff bills to be framed by the new ways and means committee. The weight of opinion is that the Democratic house will pass a bill revising the wool schedule and an other putting certain foodstuffs on the free list before it takes up reciprocity.
 Representative Underwood of Ala bama, chairman of the new ways and means committee, believes that it will be forty days before the house passes the reciprocity bill. It is understood that the measure will be introduced by Representative Andrew J. Peters of Massachusetts, a member of the com mittee, and 1t will be known as the Pe- ters bill. 1t will be identical with the Mccall bill of the session just closed.
 The Democratic leaders have given their word to President Taft that they will do everything in their power to put through the agreement at the ex- tra session without any amendment That would affect its ratification by Canada.

AN ARMY OF 10000
 TO MEXICAN BORDER
ManeuVerS Said to Be Reason
 For Mobilization.

An army of approximately 10000 men, representing all branches of the service, is mobilizing along the Mexi- can border of the United States. It is officially stated-and the admfnistra- tion made special efforts to substanti- ate the statement-that the sole pur- pose of this unusual mobilization was maneuvers on a grand scale for the training of officers and men.
 While every effort was made in off cial circles here to give this great movement the appearance of a simple preparation for maneuvers, there were persistent rumors that the government was preparing for more serious trouble
 Confidential reports from Mexico of late have encouraged the belief of many that conditions In the Mexican government are far from being as sat isfactory as official assertions seek to indicate. Immense foreign interests are at stake in Chihuahua, for exam pie and their owners have been very uneasy as to what would happen to them in case of widespread disorders.
 There was report in Washington that urgent representations had been made to the state department that un- less the United States government i'm mediately made adequate preparations to protect American and foreign inter ests in northern Mexico appeal would be, if 1t had not already been, made to Great Britain to do so.

To the Veteran Soldiers Of
New Mexico.

Brother Veterans: 1t is no egot-
ism to say that the veterans were
the men who in the day Of the coun-
try's need, left home and all its
dearest ties behind them and went
forth to fight for her honor and
preservation. This is true of all
the wars in which America has been
engaged; 1t is also true that she has
not been ungrateful, so far as grant
ing pensions to her faithful surviv-
ing soldiers can show her gratitude.
1t is not generally known that,
altho New Mexico was only about
thirteen years under the Union
Flag when the civil war began, she
gave 1851 men out of her small and
widely scattered population, and
when the war was over, the survi-
vors returned to resume their lives
of daily toll as quietly as II they
had done nothing deserving of any
reward.
When the first pension law was
enacted, apd for many years there
after, railroads had not penetrated
into the territory, and as communi-
cation of any kind with the East
was very difficult, thousands of
these brave men never heard of the
passage of such laws, and when they
were advised Of the existence of
such laws, the difficulty of procur-
ing the necessary blanks, filling
them up and filing them in the
proper depar tment, presented such
difficulties that but few of them re-
ceived their pensions at all.
For some reason or other little at
tention was given to this important
subject, until the election of Hon.
w. H. Andrews as delegate to con-
gress, about seven years ago. Then,
he, with characteristic energy, took
hold of it, and the results of his
tireless labor soon became evident.
The good old New Mexican, pub
lished almost daily, called upon
veterans to open correspondence
with Delegate Andrews regarding
their claims on the government;
the necessary official blanks were
sent by him to the New Mexican
Office, and furnished to all appli.
cants, and when properly filled out
were mailed to the delegate, who
filed them with the proper officers
and soon thereafter. the pensions
were paid by the pension agent Of
the district.
Here are the results of MIR. An

He says he'll give any of us dime

Mr.. Higgins looked incredulous till
his son dug into his pocket and pro

corroborative evidence. Then he
looked at his wife and smiled
