The other decision is 70 be Of great

a test suit brought by a Santa Fe tax
payer, it is contended that the $500
should be deducted from the taxable
assessment, that is one-thlrd of the

The average cost of the one-room
buildings Is $500. For a two-room
building it is 5000 In every instance
Mr.. Conwav has dug up S. or $40
from his own reserve to start the sub
scriptions, and has done it cheerfully-

convention no other county in the
United States can produce such
record of school improvement as Santa

Like Mr.. Conway's mules hitting the
high places on the sandy stretches be-
tween districts. that IS going some.
May Lose job.
The Conway movement will go on
but Mr. Conway is likely to be elimi-
mated except as an interested private
citizen. For he is threatened with the
loss of his job. No. not through dis
sension among his constituents but
through clause in the constitution
adopted when New Mexico became
state several years ago. This provides
that all holders of state and county
offices at the time of adoption shall
not be eligible to reelection to sue
coed themselves but may serve their
terms out
The term of County superintendent
Conway is four years and it has two
years to run. Three county conven-
tons. republican. democrat and pro-
gressive. have agreed to endorse him
for denomination if loophole may be
found Whereby he can legally stand
for recollection.
Which would indicate that some
prophets are not without honor IN
their own countries.

Money Pledged.

Such burst of applause greeted
this speech that the mules outside
frisked their tails and joined with a
long, whole soulcd. SKY ringing bray.
The money was pledged. The people
of that district had become infected
with a germ for which there is no
prophylactic. The district is chroni-
cally affected with the disease of pro-
gFessiveism.
Then Mr.. Conway drove to other
districts all in about as bad shape as
the first, ever preaching the gospel of
better school opportunities, the best
is none too good for the children,
and what one district has done the
others can do
Did they not get in line? They sure
did This year forty-nine Of those
fifty-three districts are building new

Then he talked. lie talked like the

those people Il was a shame that
things were so run down in the dis
trict, that the school building was in
such bad shape, that their children
were not getting as good a chance
as children in Santa Fe city were get
ting in their schools
He rubbed II in and then he painted

one aud chccred the speaker and
ehcored his vision and crowded around
to pledge their support for the bet
ter things.
Were not their children as dear To
them as the children Of the rich city
folk? They would do anything to give
them education-the mysterious thing
that seemed To unlock the treasure of
the world What was little more
sacrifice to them If the children
gained by II? What was anything III

said This is going to be taken care
of right now. Wen bite off as big a
chunk as we can chew, but well get

Hundred Thousand Autos
Are to Cross Continent
During Exposition Year

The Automobile club Of Southern
California has announced that prepa-
rations are under way for the recep-
ton of 100000 automobiles and their
parties from the east in 1915. The
club will be assisted in the receiving
line by 5000 members, who at the pres
ent time are making it the most pow
erful organization of its kind in Amer
ica.
This announcement is assurance in
itself that California will be the mec-
ca of a great transcontinental migra-
tion in the exposition year, since club
officials are constantly in touch with
the entire motor world, and the auto
mobile club headquarters in Los An
geles will be buster than hotel lobby
or banking rooms at closing time.
But in order that the plans of the
club may be carried out, the officials
believe that the motorists of Southern
California should join forces and work
together to make the visitors enjoy
the southern part of the state. Since
the automobile club here, as in London,
is the center of concerted action on
the part of automobile owners, the
logical way of helping the movement
is to become a member of the organi-
zation and boost for those thousands
of visitors.
From San Diego in the south to
San Francisco in the north, 700 miles
of improved road and boulevard along
the coast, and 700 through the valley,
will be open to the motorist and the
automobile club is preparing to dis
tribute maps showing each mile of the
entire distance, in addition TO recon-
tour for strangers within the gates.
