SCHOOL NOTES


The past week concluded the
first semester's work and many
of the County High School stu
dents were exempt from final ex-
aminations because of the excel
ence of their work during the
past four and a half months. 1t
has been a custom to exempt
from examination those students
who have a grand average of 80
or more per cent in their work.
The work, in most cases, has
been we'll done and many of the
students have made a splendid
half years school record. The
last semeter started off Monday
with the introduction of several
new branches. A special effort
will be made to make this term
the most profitable experienced
in Belen.

What Is a Fair Rate?

We do not know what CONSTITUTES a
basis for rate making and have ne,er
heard of anyone who did claim 20
know much about it, but if the prof.
perity Of the farm is factor to bt
considered and the railroad commits
sion concludes that an increase in
rates is necessary, we would prefer
that it come to us through articles of
consumption on their journey from
the factory to the farm. We would,
for example, prefer that the rate on
hogs remain as at present and the
rate on meat bear the increase, for
any farmer can then avoid the burden
by raising his own meat, and farm.
er who will not try to raise his own
meat ought to be penalized. We
think the rate on coal and brick can
much better bear an increase than
the rate on cotton and -four We
would prefer that the rate on plows
remain the same, and machinery,
pianos and such articles as the poor
er farmer cannot hope. to possess bear
the burden of increase.
The increase in rates should be so
arranged that the farmer who lives
at home will bear no part of the bur-
den, but let the farmer who boards
in other states and countries and
who feeds his stock in foreign lands,
pay the price of his folly.

New Libel Law introduced
By Montoya in
House

The lihel law endor, ed by the
executive committee Of the State
Press association, and which was
changed from he original draft
after suggestions were made by
Attorney General Clancy and
others, was introduced in the
house yesterday afternoon by
Nestor Montoya. The bill now
provides:
That an injurious publication
is presumed to be malicious if no
justifable motive for making it
shown,
That in all criminal prosecu:
tions for libel, the truth may be
given in evidence to the jury,
and if it appears to the jury that
the matter chargad as libelous is
true, and was published with
good motives and for justifable
ends, the party shall be acquit-
ted.
That no reporter, editor or
proprietor is liable to any prose-
cution for a fair rnd true report
of any judicial, legislative or
other public official proceedings.
Or of any statement, speech, ar
gument, or debate in the course
of same. Libelous remarks or
comments connected with matter
privileged by the foregoing re-
ceive no privilege by reason Of
their being so connected.
IT ha any communication
made in good faith upon auy SUBJ
ject in which the party commu-
nicating has an interest, or in
reference to which he has, or
honestly believes he has a duty,
to a person having correspond
ing interest or duty, is a privi-
legged communication and is not
presumed to bomalicious, and the
burden of proving the existence
of malice is cast upon the prose-
cution.

RURAL SOCIAL CENTERS

rection of cultured, clean and com.
petent leadership, where aesthetic
surroundings stir the love for the
beautiful, where art charges the at
mosphere with inspiration and power,
and innocent amusements instruct
and brighten their lives.
To hold our young people on the
farm we must make farm life more
attractive as we'll as the business of
farming more romunerative. The
school house should be the social unit,
properly equipped for nourishing and
building character, so that the lives Of
our people can properly function
around it and become supplied with
the necessary elements of human
thought and acfivttv.

War Taxes.

There are times when the so
called war tax is not an espe-
cially unpopular thing, parti-
cularly when the tax is to sus-
tain the honor of the nation and
the people themselves are back
of the movement which calls
them to the battle in defense Of
their rights, and their patriotism
is the influencing element in
their action.
Then there are times when
the idea of a war tax is offensive
and that is when it is a tax mis-
named and is only a burden
placed upon the citizens Of a
nation to aid in defraying the
expenses Of government due to
! the failure of the party in power
to conduct national affairs upon
a business basis.
It is the latter condition which
we are facing at the present
, time and there is little wonder
: that the citizens of the United
States are up in arms and COM
planning bitterly.
II it were not so exasperatlng
it would be amusing to hear the
5 cussing that goes on in the or
dinary affairs of business when
a man goes to his attorney to
get some paper drawn and finds
that it will not be effective until
there is a war stamp on it and

RATE INCREASE
NECESSARY
FARMERS UNION OFFICIALS
THINK RAILROADS ARE EN-
TITLED TO MORE REVENUE.
Products of Plow and Farmer Who
Lives at Home Should Be
Exempt From Increase.
BY Peter Radford.
Lecturer National Farmers Union

Lecturer OUlOi1s
The recent action of the Interstate
Commerce Commission in granting an
increase in freight rates in the eastern
classification of9sterritory; the applica-
ton of the roads to state and inter-
state commissions for an increase in
rates, and thehItterances of President
Wilson on thessubject bring the farm
ers of this nation face to face with the
problem of Ian increase in freight
rates. 1t is the policy of the Farmers
Union to meet the issues affecting the
welfare of the farmers squarely and
we will do so in this instance.
The transportation facilities of the
United States are inadequate to ef-
fectively meet the demands of COM
merce and particularly in the South
and West additional railway mileage
is needed to accommodate the move
ment of farm products. If in the wis
dom of our Railroad Commissions an
increase in freight rates is necessary
to bring about an improvement in our
transportation service, and an exten-
sion of our mileage, then an increase
should be granted, and the farmer is
willing to share such proportion of
the increase as justly belongs to him,
but we have some suggestions to make
as to the manner in which this in
crease shall be levied.
Rates Follow Lines of Least Resist
anee.
The freight rates of the nation have
been built up along lines Of least re-
sistaneu. The merchant, the manu-
faeturer, the miner, the miller, the
S lumbefman and the cattleman have
had their traffic bureaus thoroughly
organized and in many instances they
have pursued the railroad without
meycy and with the power of organ
izedtonnage they have hammered the
life Nut \of the rates and with unre-
strairNd greed they have eaten the
i vitals oaNof our transportation system
y and sincewe, have had railroad COM
omissions, these interests, with skill
md cunniiS are represented at every
hearing inwhich their business is
Involved.
The farma is seldom represented
at rate heariiss, as his organizations
have never hA the finances to en-
ploy counsel I develop his side OF
the case and, asa result, the products
of the plow be$ an unequal burden
of the freight epense. A glance al
the freight tariff. abundantly proves
this assertion. Cotton, the leading
agricultural producN c the South, al
ready bears the higAst freight rate Of
any necessary commodity in com
merce, and the rate on agricultural
j products as whole Is out of pro
portion with that of tie products OF
the factory and the min,
We offer no schedule If rates, but
hope the commission win be able tc
give the railroad such antncrease in
rates as is necessary withut levyine
a further toll upon the poducts Of
the pillow. The instance seems to pre-
sent an opportunity to the Railroad
Commissions to equalize the rates a:
between agricultural and othelclasse.
of freight without disturbing tie rate:
on staple farm products.
