MAY LEVY BIG TAX
RAISE NEEDED FUNDS
Special Session New Mexican Lesis-
lature May Be Called To Meet
Serious Condition

Santa Fe. N. M, Dec. with
the first two years Of statehood for
New Mexico drawing to a close the
state is confronted with serious H.
nancial situation due primarily to the
readjustment made necessary In the
change from territorial to state
form of government.
Though two sessions Of the legis-
lature have been held since the or
ganization Of the state government IN
1911. a special session and regular
session, third session now is being
talked of to pass an adequate reve-
nue. and taxation law to provide funds
for the payment Of the states bill
including salaries of officials, interest
on bonds and interest on the state
debt.
A taxation law enacted by the leg
islature a year ago, providing for the
assessment Of all property in the
state at one-third of Its actual cash
value, followed by blanket raises
made by the state board of equaliza-
ton upon returns made to that body
by the assessors of the various coun-
ties, has resulted in succession Of
suits filed by corporations and indi-
viduals, enjoining the boaIh of equal.
latin from enforcing these raises.
AS a result the payment of all taxes
has ceased and the state treasury is
practically without funds to meet its
actual running expenses. Officials
have been paid only part of their sal
aries for the past quarter, many
clerks have had to go without salary
for some months; the state mounted
police, which ceased official existence
have not been paid for four months
and county officers throughout the
state have been without salary for
two years because of the failure OF
the legis' stature to pass a. law liking
their compensation, as provided for
in the constitution, which expressly
forbids the payment of salaries on
fee system.
Gov. w. G.. Mcdonald is said to
be considering special legislative
session, limited to the enactment OF
a taxation law and a county salaries
bill. The legislature is centralized by
the Republicans who oppose a special,
session. e

BALL OF HAIR IS FOUND
IN STOMACH OF WOMAN

Wausau, Wis, Dec. 2.-Without
doubt one Of the strangest discover
les made as the result of surgical
operation came TO light when far
mer's wife residing in the town OF
Poniatowski, Marathon county, sub
mitted to an operation at st. Joseph S
hospital, Marshaliield.
1t was at first supposed that the
invalid was suffering from tumor
but the surgeons knife revealed a
far different ailment. A bunch OF
human hair weighing nearly one and
half pounds was taken from the
patients stomach So closely was
the hair matted together that 1t re-
sembled a solid ball.
One OF the theories advanced by
physicians Is that the hair was TAX
en- into the stomach by the invalid
when she was in delirium during
an attack of typhoid fever quite n
while ago. Another theory is that
they are loosaned hairs from the
strands as she would hold them
crossed in her mouth when dress
ms.
She has suffered from stomach trou,
BILE for some time, but the nature
of the trouble was not suspected.
She is 20 years old and has four
children.

ready for the severe grind of the

Said Mr.. Marshall. They believe
no time should be lost in passing
legislation that will give the people

system and that will open the way
for the average man to have equal
opportunity with every other man in
the use of capital and credit.
81 have no criticism for the Amer
lean dollar or for the luxury or COM
fort that may honestly be gotten from
1t. My criticism Is Of the bluff and
cowardice in the dollar. When a
time Of money stringency comes the
banks call in the money they have
loaned because they fear they will
have to pay the money they have
borrowed from their depositors.
THE whole country should and
will welcome a speedy reinforcement
of the currency system ~that will ef-
fectuany take this cowardice out Of
the dollar and make It thing to be
depended upon in time of stress"

pKEDGER UNcovERs
INDIAN GRAVEYARD
Skeleton Found Standing Erect Fac
ing East; Had knowledge
Of Dentistry

San Francisco, Dec. 2.-Construc-
ton workers nov employed in the
improvements at Brentwood irrigated
farms in Contra Costa county have
unearthed an Indian graveyard which
dates back to prehistoric times.
When the gigantic dredger was
making the way fer the large canal
which is to carry the waters of In
dian slough and the San Joaquin riv-
err on to the Brentwood irrigated
farms, 1t dug into the graveyard. This
occurred at the historic spot known
as Point of Timber landing. and many
interesting things were brought to
light revealing heretofore unheard Of
customs which we're INDUCED in by
the Contra Costa tribesman Of antiq-
ulty.
in a standing posture, fading toward
the east Perhaps the most impor-
tant discovery was the unearthing OF
some skulls which show clearly that
the California aborigine knew some
thing of dental surgery. Cavities in
the teeth of these skulls are well
filled with beads.
The large canal which uncovered
this burial ground Is six miles long
and extends in a straight line from
the old Point OF Timber landing to
the highest point OF the Old Marsh
Grant, or Brentwood irrigated farms
as the property Is now known. From
this point the water is distributed o
all the small subdivisions. The main
canal is concrete lined throughout.
The large volume OF water which
runs in the main canal is forced up
hill. Seven large reinforced con-
crete pumping stations are distribut.
ed along the canal at intervals Of
about a mile. Electrically driven
centrifugal pumps are housed in
these stations and pump the water
until 1t reaches the highest point on
the irrigated farms, 1873 feet above
sea level.

WHAT THE FARMERS'S SON
FOUND WHEN He WENT
BACK HOME

In the current issue Of Farm and
/ Fireside H. J. Minhinn'ck tells
how, when he was b boy, there were
in his class In high school six sons
and seven daughters Of farmers liv'
| ing In the district which comprised
ten townships. OF the six boys two
became doctors, two lawyers, one q
minister and the other died while at
tending the university. OF the girls
five became teachers, one a nurse and
the seventh married a merchant. In
other words not one Of the thirteen
returned to the farm. Two years ago
he visited his old home for the first
time in twenty-five years and found
that Of the twelve farms 1.-TWO Of the
pupils were brother and sister, not
a single one remained in the family
that held 1t thirty years ago. The
writer goes on as follows:
"Now comes the more interesting
side of the story. On the twelve farms
which totaled about 1900 acres there
are now living flfty-one families Of
which forty-two had moved from the
towns and cities, but nine families
had a direct farmer ancestry. OF
these nine, eight had bought their
lands, and only one had acquired its
farm by inheritance. ,

was driven out in an automobile !ov-
er roads so beautifully macadamized
and kept that they compared favor
ably with the best city pavements.
The fences were of wire, and all along
them were planted beautiful maple
and walnut trees. The cultivation
came right up to the fences, and the
roadsides were as clean as the fields.

vICTORS TO RECEIVE
GOLDEN FOOTBALLS

In reporting the victory of the Ag-
ricultural College football team over
that of the University last Thursday,
some newspapers outside of Logan
generously admitted that 1t was a
wonderful machine Coach Teetzel had
built up. That is quite true, es-
pecially when we consider the obstac-
les that had to be overcome. When
seen af er the game Mr.. Teetzel ex-
hibiting h s usual modesty and con-
servatism, merely remarked that he
was pleased with the way his men
worked. They showed spirit wor-
thy Of the A. c." added the coach.
"and the board of trustees has voted
them each small golden football on
which will be engraved the receipt
ents name and the date, as a mo-
mento of the victory"
And what is most noteworthy about
Il is there $ likely to be just as
strong an aggregation Of Aggies next
year as there is now. Mr.. Teetzel,
while he has been devoting his chief
efforts to hammering the squad into
shape that took Utah's scalp to the
tune of 81 to 0, yet he has kept his
eye ahead, with the result that the
freshmen team contains some mem
bers that are proving particularly
strong. Naylor. Titus and another
or two, declares Prof. Teetzel, will
now stand up well with the members
of the first team. All Of which in
sures that though possibly three men
of the first team will not be back
next year, there will be top notchers
TO fill their places. OF the first team
Price and Elmer Brossard graduate

that one of the former may return.

Enter Basketball
Now that the football has made its
exit for the season attention at the
College will be centered upon basket
ball. Coach Teetzel says there is no
prospect for game, but
negotiations are on with various par
ties In Montana and it is expected
soon that five games will be arrang-
ed for in that state. If these plans
the kggies in their trip
to Montana will play the University,
