Tried to be Stormy

The weather tried as hard as
possible to be stormy yesterday,
but succeeded only in waiting
down a little snow, which disap-
peared as quickly as it fell. Be-
fore evening the sun was again
on the job, and this morning is
bright and clear again. No doubt
we simply got the tail-end of a
storm which passed farther north
as usual. We should worry!

Senator Fall used several hours
Of the senate's. time the other
day in telling his reasons why
Uncle Sam should intervene in
the trouble below the border. He
omitted one very significant rea-
son, however, that the senator
from Ell Paso is personally and
financially interested in mining
property down south. Had the
senator instead of haranguing for
several hours, offered to person
ally lead an army across the bor-
der, his speech might have been
more effective.

WORKING FOR
ENLARGED
HOMESTEADS
Fall and Ferguson Working
in Harmony to Aid the
Settlers

That there is no politics in Sen
ate Bill 4575, introduced by Sen
ator Fall and that he is working
with Representative Ferguson to
secure the passage of the $40 acre
homestead law is the tenor of a
letter received by the New Mex
ican from Senator Fall regarding
the bill, recently mentioned in
this paper. An extract from the
letter follows:
"You will note that the bill
provides for the donation of all
the lands in New Mexico to the
state; grazing lands to he sold in
amounts of not more than six
sections at SIPS per acre under
the state laws; preferential rights
of homestead entry to any resi-
dent of New Mexico to the amount
of GAO acres at the cost of $40.
(Some provision of this character
must be put in to avoid difficulty
with the reclamation service by
reason of the fact that from the
sales of public lands is created the
fund expended by that service. J
Il am heartily in favor of any
increased homestead bill, and if
Mr., Ferguson can secure the
passage of his GAO acre bill in the
house, will endeavor to secure
its passage in the senate.
Il have discussed the matter Of
this donation of lands to the state
and administration of the lands
through the state machinery with
a majority of the senators, and
have been quietly working to
create a sentiment in favor of
such proposition ever since I came
into the senate. The result of my
efforts has been exceedingly sat-
isfactory, and if the proposed bill
meets with the approval of the
people of New Mexico, | am con-
vinced that | can pass it through
the senate.
Should you see fit to do so,
will be glad to have you ascertain
the sentiment of the people
through the columns of your pa
per, and your assistance in Sc
curing for this bill the support of
the citizens residing in your Sec
tion, and through those citizens
of our state the assistance of those
from other states with the repre-
sentatives and senators whom
they know now in the congress OF
the United States.
"Of course, there is no politics
in this matter, and my proposition
has been submitted to Governor
Mcdonald, A. A. Jones and other
New Mexicans, and | believe
meets with general approval" !"

RAILROADS ASK
HIGHER FREIGHT
RATES At ONCE
President Willard of Baltimore

Are Pressing and Country Is
Suffering From Long Delay


Chicago. March l1.--That the east
ern railways be permitted 60 put into
effect the s per cent increase in freight
rates at once for which they have
asked the Interstate Commerce COM
mission pending the Investigation Of
the case, was the plea OF Daniel VIII
lard president OF the Baltimore a
ohio railroad, In q statement TO the
Railway Gazette.
"The railroads have introduced
testimony which we believe should
convince the commission that our IL
napcial necessities are real, immediate
and pressing" he declared. This be-
Ing the case, the longer any action TO
relieve these necessities Is deferred,
thc more serious the consequences to
the railways in particular ana TO the
business of the couOty in general
must be.
III would seem that the fair thing
would be TO grant the increase and
then go on with the Investigation of
transportation practices, lf the COM
missions nnal decision should result
lin further increases in the carriers
net revenue Il could make such re-
ductons ia rates as IL considered JUS
tifiahlc."
President Willard asserted that be-
fore the commission should act ON it,,
suggestion that the railways might in
crease their revenues By ceasing TO
pay for spottlng ears and other SER
vices. fun Investigation should be
made into the effect Of such an action
upon shippers.
