GOVERNORS PROCLAMATION

From the dawn of history until to-
day men have rendered grateful, ad.
miring homage to the memory Of
those who had risked or nobly laid
down their lives for what they be
lieved to be the honor aud safety of
their fellowmen.
Periclcs once said "The whole
earth j. the sepuchcr of illustriou,
men," aud Edward Evcritt continued.
IAN time, he might have added, is
the millennium of their glory"
The day which has been set apart
for honoring the memory of the dead
aud paying tribute to those who still
survive from the struggles where
they riskcd all for their country, will
soon be here.
Now. therefore, |, William c. Nc
Donald, Governor of the State of
New Mexico, do hereby designate and
appoint Friday, May 30, 1913, as
Memorial day, in the State of New
Mexico.
| recommend that all of our people
cease from labor on that day except
such as may be absolutely necessary,
and that they join in such demon
stration as may be practicable in the
various localities with the usual ex-
crciscs and ceremonies suitable for
the occasion.
BY these annually recurring mem
orial exercises we typify the beauti.
ful ideas of a memory kept ever
green in the minds and the blossoms
If gratitude and hope blooming in
the hearts of great free people.
Done at the executive Office this

approximately 10000 head Of cat

ern points from the Deming stock
yards in the last two weeks. The
bulk of the animals are Luna County
stock and are estimated to be worth
about 100000 As high as $50 is
being paid for steers and even more
for stock cattle. The local stock is
in fine condition. due to a good winter
and early grass. The Arizona aud
Mexican cattle are lean and weak
and in no sense a> well bred as the
Luna County product.
GREAT INDUSTRY
From the figures given above il
will be seen that cattle raising is one
of the most rcmuncrativc industries
in the county. The ranges in the
mountains surrounding the valley are
the very best and will never be dis
turbed by the plowshare because Of
worhleSsness as agricultural land.
There are vest upland plains also wa
tered by the mountain runoff on
which the grass grows thick and lux
uriautly but under which is not suf-
licicut mdcrlIow to make farming
possible. This is twc of much of
the land north of the city near Cooks

advantage of three railroads, South

THE assessments Of New Mexico
are getting a close scrutiny. The
railroad companies thought that they
we're being assessed too high in pro-
portion to the other tax payers, and
began investigating. They put ex-
perts into every county seal in the
state, and made an investigation.
These experts went through the reg
istry Of deeds, and noted the value of
the property decided. When the con-
sideration was nominal they tried to
find out what the actual consider
alton was. If ascertained it was taken
into consideration. If not found IL
was not considered. So far during
1918 there were noted l049 transfers
Of real estate, both town lots and
farming lands, the total consideration
being S2,567 ,279. The tax returns then
were consulted and these same pieces
Of Of land were returned at s46s, O43,
or 1872 per cent Of the value, while
under the law 1t should have been re-
turned at one-third of the value, or
1856, 759. The railroads have given a
copy Of the report in all its details, to
the board Of equalization, and intim-
ated 1t was up to the board to do
something in the way Of equalizing.

Grand Jury Report.

The following are some interesting
extracts from the report Of the grand
jury at the present term Of court:
We have investigated into the non
attendance at the public schools, un.
der the instructions Of the court, and
have returned a number of true bills
against parents and guardians who
are delinquent in this matter. We
believe that the law in regard to the
attendance OF children at school should
be rigldly enforced. We find from the
County Superintendent's office that
there are over a thousand children in
this county between the ages of seven
and fourteen who are not in attend
ance upon any school. We would rec
ommend in this connection that the
District Attorney diligently prosecute
Ill such cases in the courts of the
Justice Of the peace in this county
until this law is fully complied with
in our county and all children who
under the law are required to be in
school are attending some institution
Of learning.
The work Of the Grand Jury has
been needlessly prolonged at the ex-
pense of the county by the fact that
the District Attorney has not worked
up his cases so as to have them in
shape to expedite the consideration
of the same by the Grand Jury. A
number of unnecessary witnesses have
been brought before us at our hear
ings and we have been forced to spend
considerable time in getting at the
real facts Of the cases, all at consider
able expense to this county. We
would suggest that the District At
torney could save a considerable ex-
pense to the county by taking the
necessary time to get the cases in
shape and bringing before the Grand
Jury only the material witnesses.
We have investigated into the mat
ter Of the collection of delinquent
taxes in this county, and we find that
a considerable large sum has been lost
to this county by failure to collect
delinquent taxes for some years past.
In this connection, we wish to say
that we have investigated the ofice,of
the present Treasurer and Collector,
and We are Of the firm opinion that
that Office has done everything In its
power to facilitate these matters; but
from what we have been able to find
out in u limited time, we do think
that the former collectors and the
present and former district attorneys
have been very negligent in their du-
ties In this behalf, and that this neg
ligence has resulted in great loss to
this county. We would recommend
that every available remedy be sought
to collect all delinquent taxes.

SINCE Arizona became a state the
railroad companies in that state have
TO get the permission Of the corpor-
alton commission before they can
borrow any money. The Southern
Pacific is finding out that the Arizona
corporation commission is a queer
bird. Some months ago the company
asked permission to borrow money to
pay for some repairs it had made, and
at last accounts the commission had
not acted on the application. Later
1t asked permission to borrow money
to build a bridge at Phoenix. This
was Immediately granted. Recently
1t asked permission to issue 80, 100, 600
In trust certificates, the proceeds to
be used in building steel coaches to
take the place Of the wooden ones
now In use, and this was granted Inn
mediately.
