THE tax matter has got to be
threshed out In the supreme court
before there will be any taxes paid In
New Mexico this fall. Several suits
In various counties have been COM
menced 70 test the legality OF the &C
ton Of the board Of equalization in
ordering the raises It did. No matter
how the district courts decide the
various suits they will 60 to the SUI
preme court. One OF them got there
this week, and will be argued on the
18th Of this month, and IL is hoped
that all matters In controversy will be
then settled. There are people who
will not complain II the court decides
that It is not necessary to pay taxes
on the present assessment, but the
great body Of the ONCE holders will
make a great kick, II the court should
SC decide.

BoTH President Wilson and Huerta
are sitting tight and doing nothing.
President Wilson says Huerta Is i'm.
possible, and the new congress more
so. The legality Of any act passed by
that congress will not be recognized.
He asks the other nations to hold of,
and give no aid TO Mexico, and thinks
In a few days Huerta will have to
give up, " he will have no funds.
One delightful thing about President
Wilson and the Mexican question Is
that he never for an instant has got
ratified by what the press and the
public may say. A less careful man
would have had this country interven-
ing long since, and II Intervention
had come the chances are that there
would have been raids on the smaller
border towns, and for a certainty the
people Of Lordsburg would rather the
Mexicans would kill each other all of
than to be visited by one raid.

The department OF agriculture has
appointed Chas. II. Lyons, Of Silver
City, as Its crop correspondent for
Grant county, and has asked him to
appoint correspondents In various
parts Of the county. These CORES
pondents are expected once a month
to oil out a form which will show the
condition Of the crops in the neigh
borhood, send 1t to Mr.. Lyons, who
will combine them and send to the
department. The department wants
correspondents in all parts Of the
country, so 1t can know how the
crops are getting on. Many years ago
the department. requested the LIB
ERAL to act as local correspondent
and make monthly reports on crop
conditions In this section. The LIB
ERAL being young and enthusiastic,
felt complimented at being selected
20 do this work, and gladly consented.
When 1t got the blank to I'LL out it
found that the department wanted to
know about how much land was
planted, the condition Of the crop,
what percentage would be gathered
OF corn, wheat, cotton, potatoes, al
falfa, timothy, and every other crop
imaginable, except black gramma,
sotol and cactus, the main crops Of
this section. After carefully study
ing the reports the LIBERAL had to
confess that there we're no crops
grown In this vicinity that entered
into the statistical books OF the de-
partment Of agriculture, so informed
the department, and rendered its re-
signation. Since then In various val
lies and favored spots In Grant coun-
~ crops ara being raised, but in this
section Of the county, except q few
garden patches there are not crops
enough to make a decimal polntin
the departments statistics.

It will be noticed that the state tax
is one-tenth Of a mill larger aud the
county tax one-tenth of a mill less
than it was last year. There are two
new funds, one for feeding prisoners,
and the other for INDECENT persons.
The name of the interest fund has
been changed to interest and sinking
fund. Grant county never had asink-
ing fund. Heretofore when 1t was
time to make a sinking fund the com
missioners would let it go, and when
the bonds came due would renew
them. When Commissioner Ownby
wen on the board, some eight years
ago, he wanted to start a sinking
fund, so that the next time bonds
came due there would be money on
hand to pay some Of them, but found
.O0S-th~S $h0 fund could not he
ed until the bonds had run ten years,
and the bonds had only run two
years. He has kept 1t in mind ever
since, and this year got it started. 1t
Is combined with the interest fund,
81 when there is any more money col
lected then is necessary to pay the in
terest 1t will automatically go into
the sinking fund. Money cannot be
transferred from the interest fund,
but the same effect is produced by
changing the name Of the fund. The
funds that are smaller this year than
last are the court fund LIS mills the
court house repair fund 3 Of a mill
and the interest fund 2 of a mill.
The increase is state purposes / Of a
mill, and tho new funds, feeding pri-
soners Ia mills and INDECENT persons
IS Of a mill. 1t is a safe bet that II
for any eason other funds could be
cut down the commissioners would be
able to invent new funds large enough
to keep the TAX rate above three per-
cent.

Whitewash.

The following formula for white
wash has been recommended by the
United States department Of agricul-
ture:
Take half a bushel Of unslaked lime,
slake it with boiling water and cover
during the process to keep in steam.
Strain the liquid through a fine sieve
or strainer and add to it a peck Of salt
previously dissolved in warm water.
three pounds Of ground rice boiled to a
thin paste and stirred in while hot
half a pound Of Spanish whiting and
one pound OF clean glue previously
dissolved by soaking IN cold water
and then hanging over a slow fire in a
small pot hung in a larger one filed
with water. Add five gallons Of hot
water to the mixture. stir well and let
e stand a few days covered from dirt
It should be applied hot for which
purpose it can be kept in kettle or
a portable furnace. COlOring matter
may be added as desired. Where a
less durable whltewash will answer
the above may be mOtised by leaving
out the whiting and glue.

Why Farmers Pay More For Money

To Farm and Fireside Judson G
Welliver contributes an article show
ing how farmers have to pay high
rates of interest in this country be
cause they have no system Of collec-
tive credits such as they have for the
benefit of farmers in certain foreign
countries. The substitution Of com
munity credit for individual credit Is
what always reduces rates of Interest
Cities borrow their money at lower
rates of interest than individuals be-
cause they act as community FOL
lowing is an extract from Mr. Wei
llver's article showing the rates Of in
terest farmers pay in this country at
the present time:
Recently the department of agricul-
ture investigated interest rates paid
by farmers all over the country 1t
was found. through statements made
bv several thousand banks in answer
TO questions. that on all loans to farm
ers secured and unsecured, the aver

Arrest Grandson In Death Mystery.

Arrest Grandson In Death Mystery.
Word has been received in Harris
burg, Pa, of the arrest in Pittsburgh
of Edward Smith, wanted in cOnnec-
tion with the death of his grandfather,
John E. Bush.
The body of the old man was found
in his burning house a few miles north
of Harrisburg last Thursday night.
There was a bullet hole through his
head, and phyhicians estimated that
he had been dead at least twenty-four
hours,
Bush kept considerable money in
the house, where he lived alone. Po-
lice all over the country have been
searching for the grandson ever since
the murder.
He is a son of Constable Charles
E. Smith, of Harrisburg. He was
known to have spent some time with
his grandfather just before the latter
was killed.
County Detective Walters left Har-
risburg for Pittsburgh to bring the
boy back.

The mother of former Police Lieu

death house in Sing Eing awaiting ex-

murder Of Herman Rosenthal, died at
her home in New York.
Mrs. Becker had been bedridden for
years. She died in ignorance Of her
sons plight.
For more than a year she had not
been permitted to read a newspaper.
When her son Charles ceased to visit
her, another son, John, told her that
Charles was suffering with rheumatism
and had been sent to a sanitarium.
This explanation satisfied her.

knocked unconscious, bound and gag

eluded saarchers who have worked

to keep some money hidden in the

THE FARMERS MOTOR.

We may talk of the conven-
ience and pleasure of owning an
automobile-and they are impor-
tant-but its greatest service to
the farmer has been In destroy
ing his isolation, says the Nation
al Stockman and Farmer.
The farmer no longer is limited
to one market in the purchase Of
supplies. Every city or town in
side a fifty mile radius is within
easy reach.
Formerly his only associates
were the neighbOrs Of two or
three miles in each direction.
Now 1t is just as easy to spend
Sunday with ''neighbOr" In the
next county.
No longer is his observation
limited to one community. 1t
has been widened to a hundred
communities in a dozen cOun-
ties. No one can fail to be i'm
pressed by the tremendous infu-
ence Of this wider vision upon
the farm family-upOn their hnp-
piness. their work and their am
billions.
