Mrs. Pankhurst says that women
want the ballot ito make men
chaste". II would seem that this il
a very worthy object, but to the poor
"simp" who has been across the equ-
ntor, around the horn, and through
the straits this would seem to be a
mighty big contract. In the face of
the evidence there seems to be little
use to deny that men are not chaste.

The death of William X. Nelson,
editor of the Kansas City Star, leaves
n gap in the journalistic ranks of the
Middle West which will not be filed
for many a day. Much Of the pro-
gressive political thought of that sec.
ton is due to the tircless and able
propaganda of the man who was "in.
dependent but never neutral. His
great fortune is left in trust to his
widow and daughter to be devoted Ia
public service after their death.

An Austrian diplomat has said
that. "the best result that can be ex.
pected from the present war, is no
result. Which is saying that all the
effusion of blood and loss of treasure
are for nothing. Unless one side or
the other is crushed il would seem
that the rivalry of armament will go
on against the day of another mad
of hostilities.

TAXES AGAIN

With the new tar law in operation,
it yet seems that New Mexico is moi
out Of the woods. The new tax COM
mission IL now in session at Santa FL
facing u problem of raising revenue
that is so complex that il is doubt-
full II solution can be found for
several years. At least $35O,OO0 in
values must be produced while last
years returns show only $272, OO0,-
900. Under the old law one-third Of
the real value was used as the basis
Of levy of l1.8 mills for all
purposes. The new law places the
limit at three mills, but this is to be
levied on the full valuation. All the
property now in sight leaves approx
imately $4,000 short. Corporate
property has accepted proposed
raise of $10,OOO,OOO, with the provi.
50 that other property be advanced
in proportion. This means that the
new commission has the difficult task
Of getting more than $4,000, 900
more on the tax rolls. The property
is in the state without any doubt, but
how to drag it into the light to meet
the appropriations of the fourth and
fifth fiscal years, is the question. Il
is considered impossible to accom-.
plish this for the fouth year. II this
proves true the state faces u deficit.
Some plan, no doubt, will BIZ de-
vised To get the tax dodgers out in
the open, even If the tax commission.
has to send men into the twenty six
counties to do the work Of the as.
SCISSORS. But there is not sufficient
time this year to devise and execute
any such plan. The alternative is to
hoist the valuation on property which
has already been turned in. This will
mean that the honest tax payers will
again be soaked for the sins of the
dishonest. But what are Won going
to do about it,
Il would seem that there is not now
in New Mexico a moral imperative to
pay taxes. II is quite respectable to
pass up the assessor. Until the tax.

I'd IN the same moral category il will

nent. The habit of tax paying has
,ot been acquired by some of our
oldest and wealthiest citizens. The
rope of the people is in the new tux
Measure. Relief in time can be ex.
'ec,ed, if the coercive power is in the
aw which its sponsors have alleged.
The enemies of the new law declare
hat il is even weaker than the old
Ineffective system which il displaced.
The condition is not u surprising
me. Americans never have dotted ON

labit, however. has been acquired.

BAN JOHNSON OBJECTS
TOUR OF STARS

Chicago, Ill, Oct. 2O.-Baseban players
belonging to Frank Bancroft's all-star
troupe. which started on transconti-
mental hunt for stray dimes early this
morning. were speeded on their way with
thorny bouquet from President John
son, of the American League. The barn
storming tour has not the sanction of the
national commission. and II may be
called of at any time should the commits
sion deem II wise.
President johnson, in an interview,
took the position that tours OF major
league ball players after the close of the
season is bad thing for baseball, and
that the present case is no exception. No
permission was asked OF the commission,
according to Mr.. Johnson. and thus the
players have no official status.
MIR. Bancroft. who is conducting the
present trip. took advantage of the rush
and huhbub of the world series games to
arrange for the tour" said Johnson. 1T
will never happen again, and the tour
will be stopped should anything develop
on the trip which should in any way re-
feet on the game. As matter OF fact,
Mr.. Bancroft never had any permission
to take ball teams around the country,
and 1t must stop.
The commission gave its sanction to
the trip of the Red Sox and Phillies to
the Pacific Coast as courtesy TO the ex-
position management at San Francisco.
but now I am glad the players passed IT
up. As for the trip of the all-stars' II
never should be started
Manager Bancroft and some of the
players were considerably exercised when
told about President Johnson's opinion OF
the tour.
at is true that the commission can
stop our games If it wants to-" said Mr..
Bancroft, but i was careful In getting
permission from the club owners before 1
signed up a single player BESIDES, Mr..
Eerrmann. chairman of the commission.
toId me IL was all right. and so l went
ahead
