Jennings Bryan. in his old-time form,
arrived at noon today. An immense
crowd greeted him and he spoke
briefly from the rear platform of the

speech. but Mr.. Bryan's eloquence was
so thrilling that the crowd became
wildly enthusiastic. Men and women
wept. laughingiy. and cheered them
selves hoarse when the orator finished.
IF any meaning Is TO be CLEANED
from Charles E. Hughes's speeches on
our relations with Mexico" said Bry-
an, 1t means that his election will
bring immediate war with Mexico. It
means an invasion of that stricken
country. II means occupation and
military force. How many years. how
many lives will pay the forfeit? None
can tell. Hughes stands for war with
both Europe and Mexico. DO you want
war? Do you desire TO sacrifice a
million of our young men? DO you de-
sire to squander billions of dollars for
the questionable glory of conquest? If
you want war and adversely. vote for
Hughes. II you want peace with honor
and prosperity, vote for Woodrow VIII

The crowd cheered Bryan at the
conclusion of every sentence. II was

Mr.. Bursum is a wise and ex

concerning official matters are
bright and steady. His know

latitude no duplicated for any
other citizen of New Mexico. He
has cultivated close and cordial

and The TAXPAYERS

Santa re, IN. MI, July 10. -
The July number of the New

levies for 1915, with an interest
ing analysis by Director A. E.
James of the Taxpayers Asso-
citation, of their relation to the
states new tax laws. The an
alysis includes a strong argu-
rments for a state budget sys-
TEN. 1t shows that the Tax
payers Association, co-operat-
ing with county authorities and
the state tax commission, effect
ed reductions in the levies orig
inally returned, in twenty one
of the twenty-six counties, rang
ing from 13-cents in Dona Ana
county to $4,000 in Grant
county, and totaling $343,286,- )
73. The article, which is a
complete statement Of all levies
Of all classes, compared with
these Of 1914, forms the founda-
ton for a permanent compar-
ative record Of tax levies in
every county, municipality and
school district in the state, as
we'll as for the state tax levies.
New Mexico municipal Ievies,
it is shown, would have scored
a decrease for the year, but for
the increase OF $4,000 in the
municipal levy at Ration, which
resulted in an increased for the
total municipal levy Of about
$4,000
Another article of general in
terest in this number is that
dealing with the financial status
of state institutions other than
educational which do not keep
their funds on deposit with the
state treasurer, but make their
own collections. 1t is shown
that several Of these institutions
are borrowing money in viola

ton Of all funds in the hands Ct
the state auditor and state treas
urer is urged.
