Let Us Be Honest and Con-

sistent.
Long tenure, or hereditary te-
nure in Office was openly opposed
by Thomas Jefferson and other
great thinkers of the Democrat
ic party, as far back as 1900.
Why? Because it would tend to
create a favored class in a free
representative government, and
thereby deprive other citizens of
an opportunity to represent the
people. Again it would create a
corrupt political machine class,
who would monopolize legisla-
ton and the great industrial re-
sources of our country to selfish
purposes. Again it would tend,
strongly, to centralize our form
OF government, that was be-
Queated to us at such a cost of
blood and treasure, and pattern
after the old worlds models.
The Republican party, 70
years advocated, maintained and
endeavored to establish long te-
nure, or hereditary tenure in Of
flee to thereby centralize or mon
archie our free constitutional
government all of which, from
Washington down, has been op-
posed by the Democratic party,
as dangerous to our form of gov
eminent.
If long tenure in Office is
wrong, undemocratic and de-
priving others of an equal chance
to represent the tax-paying citi-
zenship of any given commu-
nifty then why should we elect
or nominate any man for the

had preceded her to the heavenly
home.
AS one who knew her from
earliest childhood-yes always,
l crave the privilege of writing a
short testimony to the memory
of one who lived through many
years the embodiment Of chris
tan service, a beautiful life con-
secrated to God. A life that en-
abled her to be at all times a
kind and sympathetic friend, a
noble wife, and a mother whose
devotion proved itself in rearing
a family Of sons and daughters,
who today hold her memory
as the most blessed thing in
their possession.
The memory Of her teachings
that keeps them ever in the
straight and narrow path Of
right living.
A memory that awakens in
them the highest ideals, the
hottest purposes and turns their
footsteps toward the 'home Of
many mansions" that was pre-
pared for her, and where today
she awaits her children.
It is sad to see the dimpled
hands of the infant folded in
"the sleep of death" 1t is sad
to see the strong young woman
with the morning and the sun
rise flooding her pathway sud-
denly cut down and a life Of in
huence and helpfulness stilled
forever.
1t is sad to see one who is
travel stained and worn, tired
with life's journey, 90 at the
sunset and twilight of life into
the Fathers presence after the
pilgrimage is done.
Yes this is sad-but is it not
beautiful? And Just so this
friend and mother went home.
Methinks l hear the Fathers
Welcome when he says, 'eWeIl
done thou good and faithful SER
want, enter thou into the Joy Of
the Lord"
Today my mind goes back ia
the home of DR.. S. T. Meng, how
vivid is the pictured Kindness.
benevolence and hospitality was
the rule at that home. DR.. Meng
an Elder in the Christian
Church, with his wife, did much
yes, | might say, more than any
family in the town for the
church.
1t was a devotion beyond what
we see in these days in the mad
rush for money and influence,
it was the effort of their lives to
build up and make their church
a mighty influence for good in
the community.
Heaven alone can reveal the
blessedness of their influence.
They wrought well. How
insignificant seem the perishable
things men and women struggle
for; compared to the beautiful
lives Of service of this couple,
who esteemed it a joy and a
privilege to work for the master.
We are constrained to say
Blessed are the dead who die
in the Lord"
In reviewing the life of Mrs
Meng, | find myself longing to
have her sweet and gentle spirit,
tender with sympathy, gentle
with the spirit of kindness, pa
tient and unselfsh forgiving ia
the utmost.
She wrote no books, she
preached no sermons, but she
gave her life in service quietly.
simply with never a thought Of
self.
She did much to bring peac,
and sunshine into the world ant
with such service she was con.
tent.

election held here yesterday to name
two members of the school board for
this district. there were 2iS votes
cast, Of which Julian Taylor received
III. A. j. ROLAND 147 and Frank
English III. This gives the election
to Julian Taylor for the three-year
term and to A. J. ROLAND for the two
year term.
While the election was a quiet one
in every way, still there was an under
current Of feeling caused by the in
lection of religion into the affair and
Just little politics. The main thing
with the patrons of the schools. how
ever, was to secure board of di-
rectors which will not interfere with
the present faculty. except, possibly
to hire one or two more teachers
which are needed.
The record of the past two years
under the direction of the principal
Andrew McCurdy, has been a most ex-
cellent one, and it has been the hope
of the people here generally that he
will be in charge of the schools fol
several years to come.

What's New in New MexiCo|
ARIZONA ASSESSMENT
LAWS MORE EQUITABLE
THAN IN THIS STATE
ESPECIAL CONTINGENCIES TO MOANING JOURNAL


Santa Fee, April Slow closely the
Arizona assessment authorities bounce
on every bit of property Is demon
strated by the facs that although the
state is prohibition. yet on the tax
rolls under ruling of Attorney Gem
eral Wiley Jones Just handed down
every bottle of liquor I'm private own
ership, must be assessed and taxed.
should the owners refuse TO pay
taxes on their liquor the state Will
seize the spirits and sell them outside
of Arizona declared the attorney
general, II Is this carefulness with
which the assessor goes after all prop
erty in Arizona, that accounts for the
fact that although Arizona has only
two-thirds the population of New
Mexico II has double the assessed val
uation and that without cinching the
merchants, the owners of small homes
and farms.
How unjust New Mexico's ASSESS
ments are is shown by the fact that
although the average income per mile
of the Santa Fe railroad from local
traffic in Curry county is only S54S.47
per mile, yet the taxes paid in 1918
were $S51.Si In other words, the
railroad had to fork over before II
was earned every cent taken in for
passenger and freight traffic during
the year between points in Curry
county and plank down sixty per cent
more for taxes.
OF course, what holds true for the
railroads also holds good for the small
merchant, farm and house owner,
while the big cattlemen and sheep
men as well as those who sailed down
their wealth in out-of-state invest
ments escaped their share of taxation
Curry county collected S104,954.G1 OF
its 1913 taxes up to the end of 1914
Ct which the Santa Fe railroad alone
paid $35,59973, or more than one
third and paid II in the beginning OF
1913 so that county and municipal
expenses could be met Nevertheless
the tax commission has just ordered
blanket raise of twelve per cent. on
the railroad in Curry county. and ma
turally must follow 1t up with SINH
lar blanket raise on the small homes
and farms and stores Of the county
which also have been bearing the tax
burden patiently simply because the
taxing authorities have not located
the other, intangible wealth that es-
capes its share Of taxation.
