GOV. HADLEY URGES REFORMS
MISSOURI EXECUTIVE SENDS RI
NAL MESSAGE TO LEGISLATURE.
\ State. Income Tax Recommended
and Home Rule for the Larger
Cities Favored.

Jefferson City, Mo.--Governor Her
bert S. Hadley of Missouri, in his
final message to the legislature. rec
commended state income tax, which
would make possible a reduction in
the general property tax.
The governor also urges home rule
for the three large cities of the state,
with the proviso that police and ex-
else officials be subject to removal by
the governor. Quoting directly from
the message:
There is no more important prob
lem of government before the Ameri-
can people than the problem of the
government OF the cities, and II this
problem is ever to be satisfactorily
solved, the people of the large cities
must provide good government for
themselves, rather than have it pro-
vided fer them by some outside au-
thority."
The Australian ballot and reduc-
ton in the number OF elective officers
is urged, as is the Oregon plan Of
electing United States senators.
ne governor gives great zeal OF
attention to corporation matters, say
ing that If party pledges for the Gre
alton of public service corporation
commission are carried out, there will
be less need than formerly for laws
regulating railroads.
The governor recommends the es-
Enlistment of g state tuberculosis
commission, tuberculosis hospital at
the state penitentiary, and law re,
curing all dairy cows to be inspect
ed before their mix Is sold.
Regarding the commission form of
government the message says:
"The conduct of municipal affairs
is more a matter of business manage
ment than of anything else The ex-
perience of other states that have
provided for the commission form of
government leaves no room for doubt
as to the ACCESSIBILITY of an act giving
authority to the cities of this state
to provide this form of government
in place of the present antiquated,
inefficient system"

new MEXICO METALS
PRODUCTION IN 1912 SHOWN BY
v. s. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
Figures for Mine output Of Gold, Sill
YER, Copper, Lead and Zinc
Show Increase over 1911.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Santa Fe.-The mine production of
gold in New Mexico, in 1912, accord
ing to preliminary estimates by
Charles w. Henderson of the United
States Geological Survey at Washing
ton, showed small increase over the
output of $762,S0S in 1911; the output
of silver an increase of about 10000
ounces over the production of 1854, $40
ounces in 1911; lead an increase of
about 100000 pounds from the yield
Of nearly 100000 pounds in 1911;
and copper an increase from 4,057,040
pounds in 1911 to about 2S,000,000
pounds in 1912. The output of zinc
made little change in 1912 from the
output of 10,237,176 pounds in 1911.
The increase in the value of copper
alone adds over $4,000,000 to the value
OF the output of New Mexico.
The output of gold and silver from
the cyanide PLANTS at Mogollon, Socor-
70 county, showed a small increase,
and a slightly increased output of the
precious metals was also derived from
the gold and silver-bearing siliceous
and copper ores of the Lordsburg and
Central districts, Grant county. The
reopened copper mines at San Pedro,
Santa Fe county, added to the output
of gold and silver.
The increase in the copper output
came chiefly from the operations of
the Chino Copper Company, which is
mining a low grade copper deposit at
Santa Rita by steam shovels. This ore
is concentrated at Hurley whore a g.
000-ton plant has been completed in
five sections, two sections being in op-
Grafton at the beginning of the year
1912 and the ether three being sue
cessively placed in operation during
the year. the last being completed in
December. The public report of this
company for nine months of the year
shows an output of 17,902,5S7 pounds
of copper, and the output for the last
three months was approximately H.
100000 pounds. The second copper dis
trict in importance was the Lordsburg
district, with an increased output for
1912. The Burro Mountain district.
where much development work has
been done during the last six years
made a small output. The copper
mines and smelter at San Pedro, San
ia Fe county, were reopened in Aug
ust and operated throughout the rest
OF the year.
The lead output of New Mexico
comes chiefly from the shipments OF
lead ore and concentrates from the
lead-zinc deposits at Kelly, Socorro
county, but there were also increased
shipments of lead ore from the Cooks
district, Luna county.
Shipments of zinc sulphide ore and
concentrates from Kelly were about
the same in quantity as in 1911, but
those of zinc carbonate decreased
his district yields the greater part
of the zinc output of New Mexico. In
January, 1912, the zinc deposits al
Hanover, Grant county, were re
opened, after being idle for a year
and zinc concentrates and ore were
shipped from Pines Altos, Grant
county.

Something Seemed Lacking.

One of the best known London
newspapers, in review of "Lincoln's
Own Stories." collected by Anthony
Gross, commented on the anecdote
which Lincoln was fond Of telling Of
family OF such migratory habits
that they were able to get everything
into one wagon. and even the chick
ems were SO used to being moved that
whenever they saw the wagon sheets
brought out they laid themselves on
their backs and crossed their legs,
ready to be tied. The British review
er, with an insular sense of humor,
remarked: "One feels a little as
though something must have been ac-
cidentally left out of this and of many
other stories in the book"
