ULTIMATUM GIVEN GOVERNOR

Santa Fe, Sept. 6.-The republican
leaders who attended the organization
of the New Mexico Taxpayers asso-
citation at Santa Fe last week, have
reached the agreement that no spe-
cial session of the legislature is neces-
sary and have intimated this TO Gov
ernor Mcdonald.
They express the belief that before
the Bursum law Is denounced or il
cast aside, IL must be given a thor
ough trial and predict that il will do
all that has been claimed for IL by its
advocates, reducing the taxes paid,
yielding sufficient revenue and pavinh
the way for the strictest economy.
The first year may have TO be tided
over by drawing upon the surplus in
various funds in the state treasury,
but even though there is deficit and
state and county officials do not get
their full pay, the leaders argue that
this will be spur that will result in
a more complete collection of taxes
and greater economy along other lines
The governor Is said to have beei,
informed of this state of mind among
the republicans, in fact. was served
with an ultimatum warning him that
he need not expect any change in the
Bursum law from special session
Of the legislature and that 1t would
be idle to call such a session and that
the responsibility for enforcing the
Bursum law is up TO him and the state
tax commission.

THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC

II is a significant fact that where
ever war is being waged against the
liquor traffic, that without fail tn.
judges Of the courts, from lowest to
highest, and the officials whose duty
IL is TO enforce the law, are strongly
in favor Of prohibition.
w. M. Gemmill, judge Of the NUM-
cipal Court Of Chicago, gives his es.
perience in recent edition Of the
Chicago Herald, in part as follows:
81 have tried an army of $4,000
human derelicts, most of whom were
booze-soaked. | have observed
that every bandit crew that goes forth
to murder starts from a saloon; that
every wandered has his rendezvous in
a grogshop; that every den Of thieves
makes its victims drunk before il roJs
them; that every gambling den is in
n saloon or sustains n close relation
ship with one; that the professional
hondsmen and character witnesses for
thieves and holdup men are saloon
keepers or bartenders o.. b. Booze
has caused 100000 divorces in the
United States in the last twenty years
and adds $4,000 more to this number
every year. 1t divides more homes,
fills more jails and empties more
churches than all other influences com
bined."
In the recent ocal-option campaign
in our capital city, Santa Fe, every
member of the Supreme bench wa
actively and aggressively fighting for
prohibition. In speech then given
by Judge Edmund c. Abbott, he made
this statement: "In the fourteen years
during which have been a resident
OF this county, most Of the time I
have been district attorney or on the
bench. will make the assertion and
back it by proof II anyone wants to
challenge it, for have the facts, that
at least eighty per cent Of the crim>
in this district in the past Ii years.
has been directly or indirectly due to
booze or the saloon" And we find
this is the conclusion of all in close
touch with the liquor evil-crime, in
sanity. inefficiency. sorrow-the ef-
fects always.

Several months ago an enterprise ing young woman at Fairview noticed every night number of young men standing on the corners apparently with nothing to do and having no amusement. It occurred to her to en- list the sympathies of the Birmingham public library and arrange for a de- posit of books at drug store in Fair view, situated on popular corner of the suburb then get the boys inter- ested in reading and probably through this medium enlist them in bigger and finer things than idle street corner gossip.
 The Birmingham public library all ways alive to any practical sugges- tions, was eager to help-and so the first extension work known as a library deposit was made.
 The deposit at Fairview proved such success many more have been start ed. One at Neighborhood House has proven quite an attractive feature; Avondale Wesley House received a de- posit of childrens books only; the Southern Bell Telephone company and reading room and the Y. M c. A. at AclpcO are gettlng DOCKS Tn tnlS way. The Boys club camp and the Birming- ham central high school are members of this branch of work.
 The books are loaned in quantities of 50 or more according to the de- mands of the deposit station, and are selected with regard to the readers tastes. For instance. at the Boys club a number of books of games were sent to the camp and the Bell tele- phone gets mainly fiction.
 Although the library Is not able yet to completely furnish day school libraries to grades. they are lending large quantities of books to individual teachers. These books may be kept four weeks and renewed at the discre- tion and request of the teacher. One of the principal advantages of the pub lie day school libraries is the fact that the books loaned are graded ac- cording to the grade they are depos- ited with, thus the child reads what is suitable for his awakening mind. These school deposits also show tho close relation of the library to the educational oenters of the city and en- courage self-promotion and self -educa- ton.
 The library has also been used by the blind of this city for years as a reading room and has collected many hundreds of books in the raised type Another encouraging branch of the
