SCHOOLS OF THE STATE.

One of the first considerations to
the homeseeker. is the question OF
schools. AS heretofore stated, Con
gress granted TO New Mexico an en-
dowmtnt of 100000 acres of pub
lie lands, revenues from the sale and
ease OF which are to be devoted t.
the support OF higher educational in
stitutions, public schools. semi-chari-
table and penal institutions. The
school laws are modern and efficient
and every community throughout the
state is an active force in forwarding
the educational movement. Darine
the year 1915 a concerted war was
waEed against any degree Of litter
acy in the state, and the establish
Trtrt Of evening schools has mate
rally aided in this campaign.
There is a state superintendent OF
instruction and d state board
of education, while each county has
its superintendent of public schools
who works in conjunction with the
officers, and the beneficial re-
of this system are seen in the

The cynicism of the aged philoso-

brought out. The deep brown of

Pictures With An Atmosphere
"The Zuni Ovens" in itself would
form an exhibit. 1t is a picture with
atmosphere" Blue evening mists rise
from the Zuni river which glistens
in the last rays of the sun which
cover with a sheen the distant but
massive Thunder Mountain. On the
high banks of the stream are the
in which flicker the fires. The
solitary figure Of a squaw is almost
lost in ehe shadows. Companion.
picture to it is "Zuni River Eve"
The frctWork of the sandbars, the
blue of the river and the lagoons,
the golden glow on Thunder noun
tain and the limpidness of the sky,
make the picture one of exquisite
decorative value. 1t is a cen of
silence, peace and beauty, with which
one can live forever.
Henri And Rembrandt
"Zuni Girl" is painted much in the
stvle of Robert Henri, with not
4 touch too much or too sflnished.
"Zuni Woman" reminds of
Rembrandt and despite its sombre
black it is a picture that appeals
nightly to the Imagination.

fHu PVSHIUIII0IcS OF NCW
FINANCES AND TAXATION.

The bonded indebtedness of New
Mexico. at the present time, is ST.
100000, and there is no floating in
debtedness. The statutes of the
state guard against the mourning of
obligations by the counties beyond
their ability to meet them readily,
and the cities and towns of the state
have been conservative and cautious
not to make improvements that would
necessitate burdensome taxes in or
der to meet the payments.
At the time of its admission into
the Union, the State Of New Mexico
was granted 100000 acres of Gov
eminent land, the proceeds from
which were to be used for specified
purposes, including the maintenance
of certain educational institutions
throughout the state. This has en-
abled these institutions and the pub
lie schools of New Mexico to be con-
Quoted successfully with but little aid
from general taxation, and the edu-
cational, semi-charitable and penal
institutions Of the state are equipped
in a manner that would do credit to
any of the Older commonwealth, and,
with improvements that may be nee
essary with increased growth, will
be adequate for many year TO come.
State taxes. therefore, are not OPP
pressive, and under the wise provis-
ion of the Constitution cannot be
made so. The territorial tax rate
for government purposes in 1909 was
IA mills in 1910 it was II mills in
1911, 10 mills. while the state rate for
1918 was but 3 mills and 95-l0O. The
rate for 1910 has not yet been fixed.
This reduction was made possible by
the increase in property values, as
well as careful administration of
state affairs. The total valuation OF
property in this state, for
1915, exclusive OF the net product OF

With financial conditions as
hey are, the new to New

is sound, and that the

EXPOSITION TO REMAIN

GIFT OF THE ARTIST
The Rollins Art Exhibit

Zuni is a little world by itself. II
DO DIS itself aloof as much as pos
sible from modern influences and ha,
even discarded the religion of its
c%onquerorS and returned to the gods
of its fathers. For that reason it i.
of much interest to the ethnologist
and archaeologist as we'll as to the
artist and the tourist.
But Zuni lies off of the beaten paths
of travel. Ii is far from any trans
continental aut omobile road and
distant from thc\ railroads. 1t is the
comparatively few who ever visit il
ever during the celebrated Sha,iko
Dance which takes place during the
latter part of this month and the
beginning of December. However,
Zuni has been brought to Santa
Feans, by a remarkably fine exhibit
of paintings by Warren E. Rollins,
who occupies a studio. at the Palace
of the Governors. and who has won
fame as a painter, first of marine
subjects, and then of the Pueblo In
dians and Desert. The thirty-four
paintings hung in the reception room
are representative of every phrase
Of his art. but particularly tell Of
Zuni, its colorfulness. its mystery, its

1t is worthy of note that there 10
no state poor house in New Mexico,
and the need of one has moi yet been
made manifest, although there are
charitable institutions under private
control which care for the INDECENT
sick, and the state contributes to
the support of such institutions as
we'll as to the support of several or
phan asylums that are conducted by
charitable organizations. The state
institutions. semi-charitable insane
asylum; schools for the deaf and
dumb and the blind, are all we'll pro-
vided for and the land appropriations
made for their maintenance assist
materially in reducing taxation. The
court records Of New Mexico show
a percentage of crime below the av-
efage of many older states, giving
evidence of the class OF citizenship
and the cXtent\to which the laws
are enforced.
