The plan of state organization which
probably viii be put forth Is the af-
filiation of other organizations, local
in character, with the association re-
Gently organized at Silver City. This
body, organized as a statewide asso-
citation and named Albuquerque as Its
headquarters, and one Of Its promi-
nent members said today that il would
establish headquarters there within
twelve months.
Senator Pankey scored the governor
for having opposed or been half
hearted about organization at the re-
cent Silver City meeting. lie also
refuted the governors statement that
only half the cattle in the state were
returned for taxation. He said he be-
loved that the cattlemen were as hon

Attitude of Convention.
The general attitude of the conven-
tion is one of New Mexico for New
Mexieans. The talk about opposition
from the Panhandle Southwestern
Stock association has been widely
spread but seems to have little foun-
dation in actual fact, according TO the
Nfskttr At.xrt % la..t
two associations are held to be so diff
ferent that there can be no real con-
flict, in fact, many of the men here
are members of the Panhandle asso-
citation. Nor viii the cost of mem
bership in both the associations be
ten dollars being the
of the organization which
Is in session here.
The nub of the matter appears TO
be that the Panhandle people fear the
organization of statewide New
Mexico stockmens association is go
ing to hurt their membership In this
state. One New Mexican said today
that the real reason the Panhandle
people were worried about New Mex
leo memberships was that they need
ed the money that would come from
them and they feared the formation
Of New Mexico body would deprive
them of this source of funds.
Local Viewpoint.
The local mems point Of view is
that the Panhandle association is |
made up of men from sections of the

the main phase of the industry, the |
OF Texas and Oklahoma, !
81 (
other hand, is more or less breeding |
country. While allied in way, the !
interests Cf the men operating the two |
phases of the business are opposed. |
rhe breeder is interested in getting as
nigh a price as possible for his year
ing stuff while the feeder wants |
stuff to sell low and fin
shed beef cattle to be high. On the |
after point all the cattlemen agree, |
out the price of yearling stuff or |
'ange stuff ready to. be fattened |
or market is largely n matter of per-
)etual contention. The New Mexico
men want an organization which VIII |
enable them to stand together to pro-
ect their mutual interest, namely
higher prices for range bred stock.
Magdalena is wide open for the Wis.,
tors, of whom there are about 200
tlready here and still some coming.
There is much interest in the meet
ng on the part of the townspeople
Ind everything possible for the com
ort of the visitors Is being done.
There are free automobiles at the de-
rot to carry visitors to hotels, where
here are now no rooms left and in
ormation bureaus that are placing |
he guests of the city in private homes
through the city. If there is any
hing wanted, all one need do is ask
or it. 1t is forthcoming promptly
There is carnival company in
own, the business houses are decorat-
ID with bunting and everything has a
general holiday air.
Hundreds of Cattlcmcn.
There are more cattlemen here /

ion here from Albuquerque, headed

The local business houses have

rams and badges as advertising mat

In fact, the local print
ng office was SO busy that the weekly
dition of the local paper, the News,
vas not run off till distinctly metro
'olitan hours this morning.
So far the only bid for the next
