The Pros and Cons
As to a Herd Law
Outside Grass

4OA hhOW WIG PAOv'AOlRi Col
nivorous animal that lay in tn,
manger to keep the herbivorou.
animals from eating the hay.
One of the plants of those ia
vorinR the herd law that ha.
been coined into an idea by then
is that stockmen want to gel
something for nothing, meaning
the grass on the open range.
This grass to them is like the
hay in the manger to the carni
forous animal-they can't useit
There are now, and will be fol
years to come, thousands of acres
this grass that little herds Of
half dozen to SO cows and same
or horses might just as we'll have
as not, and would have under q
sensible fence law.
In County Affairs
Some of our herd law friends
assume to believe that the cattle
industry cuts very small figure
in the economy of the county
either as affording a market o,
furnishing revenue.
In the matter of market,
their plea is that as
they have to haul off most Of
their produce, they might just
as well haul it all off, and that
consequently the big herds are
of no advantage.
While it is true that stockmen
couldn't handle all the grain
raised last year and year before,
they have consumed many thous-
ands of bushels of grain; aud
for the grain used they have gen
orally paid Lamar prices-and
that at least has meant some
thing to these new people.
There is one particular phase
of what large herds of stock
mean to the new man who has
his field fenced-he can general
ly sell his stock field to a good
advantage if he hasn't stock of
his own to make use of it.
Taxes
The good people of the south
west quarter of the county have
been clamoring about the loud
est in the county for two things
schools, and a law to compel
stock to stay off their grass.
Wonder if it has occurred to
them where their present school
money is coming from.
Let us see: Maxwell and Will
liams paid last year in personal
taxes S957.77. Now, estimating
that these new settlers av-
erage $5.OO-and the records
will show that they don't, it
would take 200 of those new set
tiers to pay Max we'll & Williams
taxes. Stinsons paid last year
1924. .l2. and the Prairie Cattle
Company $4, 269. "a.
We want you to stop to think
of this awhile. Just to pay the
taxes of these three companies
would take 1900 families of these
new settlers, averaging their
taxes at $5.O0-these families
that are clamoring for schools,
and law to keep stock off their
grass.
We have taken pains to get
from the tax rolls the personal
taxes paid by twenty-seven of
those having from say fifty
to three or four hundred heal of
stock-horses aud cattle, and
find their personal taxes average
$4,000.
We want those clauloring for
s,hools-and a law t, keep stock
off their grass, to stop and con-
template; and after they con-
template, stop again and tell US
where the money has come from
that has given them their schools
up to the present time--over
the entire county.
We haye handled this herd law
question as we see it. Given a
sensible fence law, we do not be-
lieve that a herd law, taking a
run of just five years, will bene-
fit a single mortal in the county,
and we think We have shown it
to be the case.
In our next Pros and Cons we

The Failure
and the Winner
By Elva May Elder
The Failures the man
Who will not work,
If he sees the slightest
Chance to shirk.
He's always as busy
AS a honey bee,
When the boss is near
Enough to see.
He neglects his work
To watch the clock,
To see if it isn't
/ Time to stop.
He thinks that in order
To draw big pay,
he must have a ''pull"-
'Tis the only way.
He has no interest
H. his work,
But when pay day comes
He's on the alert.
He beats his bills
And howls hard times"
And foolishly throws
Away his dimes.
He doesn't save
For rainy day,
F, But cries "hard luck"
And wants higher pay.
The failure has only
Himself to blame
That in life he plays
A losing game.
The Winners the man
Who doesn't guess"
He knows what to do
And he does his best.
He's always at work
On schedule time
And he strives to be
The best in his line.
He has the "push"
That the Failure lacks,
And too much grit
To be sidetracked
When work the Failure
| Has left undone
Is given to him
1t is speedily done.
He is true to himself
And in all of the din
The honest mans the one
Who will always WIN.

Whatever the straght-out issue which you

An Eastern View of New Mexico

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: When the bandit Villa perpetrated
his raid on Columbus, N. NJ, and thereafter
through the Wilson Administration policy
of unpreparedness and watchful waiting, was
permitted to make his getaway safely the
people Of the great Eastern states, ike New
York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Penn
sylvana, did not content themselves with
mere empty criticism Of the Administration.
but they gladly and willingly shouldered
their rifles and went to the Mexican border
where many of them still remain, pre-
pared to avenge that cowardly incursion
upon our territory. And the people OF the
same Eastern states, mindful of our shame
full lack of preparedness, and anxious 70
change the bungling policy which had made
possible the Columbus raid, voted unequivo-
cally last Tuesday for Mr. Hughes.
1t now appears that New Mexico-in fact.
the very county of which Columbus Is n
part-has voted to retain in office President
Wilson, his Cabinet, his policies, or lack OF
policies rather, and all the other unique
distinctions Of the Administration. IL New
Mexico approves OF the Columbus raid, or
rather does not believe In rebuking the Ad-
mnistraton that made it possible, and that
thereafter failed to avenge II, why should
we-who tried to remedy Mexican condi-
tions-why, | ask, should we be concerned
about future raids? Let New Mexico never
be heard to complain about border condi-
tons to the people Of the United States
Her complaints should hereafter be filed
directly with President Wilson, Secretaries
Baker and Daniels, and the other pacifist
worthless to whom she has been largely in
strumental in intrusting the reins OF govern
ment. And we of the Eastern states who
voted for Mr.. Hughes who tried to help
New Mexico, may rest with clear con-
science. New Mexico refused our aid. She
preferred the Wilson Administration.
hope that she may not have cause to regret
her choice. But | have my doubts.

The Women Did Il
or of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Il was with considerable dissppont
rent that was brought to realize the DE-
feat of Mr.. Hughes. was interested II
your editorial comments on the outcome Of
the election, in which you lay the cause Of
this defeat on the failure OF the Republics
candidate TO meet the campaign issues Ia
a manner that would leave no room fef
doubt on just what principles Mr.. Hughes
believed in.
This lack OF affirmation may have cor
tributed as a factor toward his defeat, b..
do not believe that IL Is OF prime In.
portance. Almost every voter was familiar
with the personality and the record Of Mr.
Hughes, and they also realized the principles
and the history of the Republican party 10
such an extent that campaign declarations
and issue definitions would have seemed
superfluous.
In my opinion. the defeat OF Mr. Hughes
Is due, first and foremost, 10 the fact that
he permitted women campaigners to speak
in his behalf. do not attempt TO cast tl''
credit on the manner in which these wonsa
conducted their campaign, but | do assert
that the fact that it was conducted was
disastrous mistake on the part Of the Re.
publican managers.
Future candidates may learn lesson from
the recent election, and let US hope, for ne
good Of the Republican party that they shall
not again send women forth TO plead Their
cause with men. EARL KOHLBERGER
