the rebels to levy upon Americans in
Mexico by system Of forced loans or
ransOmS, to procure weapons or
war.
They have urged upon the state de-
partment that the only means Of
meeting the difficulty was to return
to the old practice of permitting eX-
port of arms and ammunition to both
sides without restriction.
1t has been pointed out by state de-
partment officials that under the re-
cent neutrality proclamation the gov
ernment is absolutely prohibited from
permitting war supplies to go to the
insurgents. 1t is expected that an cf-
fort will be made to have the senate
committee recommend either an
amendment or the withdraw OF the
proclamation,

PRIMER LESSONS ON
-TnY YhTINkI {


A concrete example of what just
taxation should be might be placed in
a few words because it is obvious that
we do not want to tax anything that
will be of value to our state, either in
the state at this time, or that would be
likely to come into the state. Neither
do we want a tax on anything of value
to the state that might be driven from
our state.
This gives US basis for argument
as to what to tax, how to tax it and
how much to tax it. The amount of
taxation is already specified for US
by the cost Of our state government
and the size of our Indebtedness. As
to Indebtedness, we are safe in leaving
much of it to the future because we
know that we have enough magnif
cent natural resources, such as coal
properties, forests, streams, lands,
tourist points, to provide great
wealth in the future.
But unless these resources are
properly safe guarded and unless we,
at this time, take stand firmly for
the proper care of these properties,
they will be made basis for unfair
and unjust speculation and we shall be
deprived by so called business manip-
uIation out of great natural heritage.
To any person who has never left
the defined routes of travel along our
railroads, who has resided only in the
towns on those railroad lines, the won-
derful possibilities in the great state
Of New Mexico are not at first appar.
ent. But to those who have Travelled
through the vast stretches of country,
who has seen the great coal deposits
who has stood beneath the towering
pines of our forests, New Mexico
means one of the great national as
sets Of the union--a land that can pro.
duce as Pennsylvania has produced.
Our mineral resources are scarcely
scratched at the top. They are not
developed.
1t requires capital in New Mexico
to do things that we need dene and
we can not induce capital to enter this
state in great quantities with the pres
emit tax rate nor with the present tax
alton system.
Were time available, an amendment
10 our constitution should be submit
led to the voters for the direct eec-
ion Of tax commission just as we
low elect corporation commission.
These commissioners could be paid
adequately, heavily bonded and they
,oud enforce an equitable and just
ystem of taxation were one provided
They should be given jurisdiction over
hree districts in the state and should
Iternate yearly between the districts
md they should be clothed with the
'oWers now held by state board OF
qualization. Then with a tax law
ased on a proper taxation system,
lew Mexico would have as low tax
ate as any state in the union and her
ebts would liquidate themselves. T.,

New York, Dec. 11.-Today's stocl

more formidable ooppositIon when
they attacked prices The market
began to lose ground again shortly

or BREAK IN RAILROAD STOCK AND

New York, Dec. 11.-Weakness il
Union Pacific unsettled the stock
market to point approaching de
moraliZation during the noon hour to
day. Heavy offerings of the stoch
made Just before noon continued tol
over an hour The stock declined
to 157, a break of over five points
from its best of the early morning.
The stock was offered in huge
blocks aud for Il time was without
support. Today's low quotation is the
low level Tor over year
Other stocks moved down sympa-
thetically and the excitement on the
exchange was greater than at any
time since 1907.
Inquiry at the Union Pacific Offices
and at the banking house represent
ing the Hartman interests failed to
elicit any statement or information re-
specting the weakness of Union Pa
cifc shares. The stock has been
weak ever since the United States
supreme court rendered its dissolu-
ton decree recently. Southern Pacif-
ic was relatively strong. With the
exception of Hill stocks, and ST
Paul, it was the only strong feature
of the entire market.
During the remainder of the day
the market was unsettled with an
other sharp drive at Union Pacific in
the last hour In most cases howev-
er, prices did not go below their pre-
viOus low points. Just before the
close there was a sharp rally.

was taken into custody by deputy

Charges of forgery developed first
at the dynamite conspiracy trial
today over letter alleged by the gov
ernment to refer to proposed explo-
sions at Detroit in 1910. The letter,
which the government stated it pro-
cured at Detroit ten days ago, pur-
ported to have been written by Quig
ley and to refer to plots to unionize
building trades in Detroit by blowing
up non-union jobs.
Herbert Wood, handwriting eX
pert, testified the letter was in Quig
ley's handwriting. Quigley took the
stand and said the handwriting was
not his and that the signature was

1907, today explained that he did not
finish the full course IN the United

he considered prospects in the busi-

system of handling the money in the

FLOOD PICTURES HERE.


 The Photo-Play theater, ever on the alert for timely subjects, has secured the motion pictures of the great Mis. sissippi flood-the most realistic and sensational pictures ever made of this devastating occurrence.
 The pictures are made by Goumont, who sent men to the scene of the threatening flood and by camping at threatened points secured some of the greatest pictures ever recorded on a motion picture reel.
 These pictures show the breaking of the leyee at Hickman. Ky, scenes of danger and distress around Cairo, Hickman. Memphis and other points, and is one of the most interesting scenes to the people of Arkansas. many of whom have been directly in. terested in the floods
 Some time ago the Photo-Play ran a series Of siiles of the flood. but these motion pictures must not be con founded with the slide pictures. They are the real scenes enacted at the Jan ger points of the greatest Mississippi flood in history.
