Il. o. Bursunb Republican candidate for governor of
New Mexico, the Perpetual Promiser, is promising everybody
a road in this campaign.
Everywhere he goes Mr.. Bursurn promises the people to
build them roads; roads everywhere; roads enough to occupy
~two-thirds Of the total area Of the state. MI. Bursum has also
seen fit to make attacks upon the splendid administration Of
public highways under the Mcdonald Democratic regime.
In view Of his lavish promises and his criticism Of the
present management Of the state road building campaign, the
road building record Of E. Q. Bursum will be of particular in
terest to the voters just at this time.
At the last session Of Nh. Bursum's Legislature Mr.. Bur
sums county representative, Abran Abeyta, manager Of Mr..
Bursum's store at Socorro, introduced a bill providing for
building a road from Socorro, via Magdalena, to Mogollon, the
county to levy 2 mills in 1915 and 1861 provide funds.
Up to date seven miles of this road has been built at a
costo Of 1927, 14524. OF this, some forty percent, $~10,4O822, has
been spent at W.. Bursuan,S store, the Rio Grande Supply
Company. at SocOrro.
For 20 miles the proposed route Of the road is through
mountainous country, and the construction cost per mile would
be heavy. At the rate of expenditure so far, the GO remaining
miles Of heavy construction aOoaM cost approximately $245,000
of Which amount some 100000 mould go into the BaySuan
store. Though Uork on the road has been suspended since last
December, salaries haze been going on and checks for supplies
hare been going to M. Bsrsam's store. The latter has a CON
tract to furnish supplies. The men IN charge Of The soorb haze
been political associates of Mr.. Barsaa.
Extraordinary numbers Of constantly changing workmen
have been employed, to give as many men as possible a share
in the pay. The road, if completed, will be impossible for
four months Of the year. If Mr.. Bprsum should control the
next legislature isn't it reasonable to suppose he will seek
legislative authority to spend public money on this project at
the rate Of one-third on the road and. the other two-thirds for
business for Mr.. Bursum's store and for his political friends
This is the Bursum method Of road building.
This has been the Bursum method Of road building for
nearly thirty years. In the early nineties he was building a
road from San Antonio to Mogolon, employing large numbers
of men just before election.
Is this the kind of orood-builder the 0oterS rant as goU-
ernor, to direct tie work Of highsvoy i'm rooementi IN the Stotes

II. 0. Bursum, Republican candidate for governor, de-
clares himself tobe the Friend of the People aRdthe Champion
of the Taxpayers. e. 0. Bursum, sponsor for the un.work-
able Bursum tax law, and whose influence helped to defeat the
beneticent Clark tax law, is still promising taxation reform.
Reform should always begin at home.
Mr.. Bursumis own record as a taxpayer will be Of interest
to the taxpayers to- whom he. has been promising taxation
reform.
An examination Of the records in Socorro county, where
Tax Reformer Bursum is supposed to pay his taxes, showed
on September z 1916 that:
ToGeS amounting to $5,17277 had been assessed against
M. BarsapVp personally since 1906, and almost the entire
amount remained unpaid.
OF all tdres assessed against Mr.. Barsum personally
since 1906 he had paid only 1896.
He had personally paid only 1896 IN tares since 1906.
Bafsun'S company had paid only $95095 IN tares all
told.
No sales of Bbrsum tax certificates had been made except
by Max Montoya, Democratic county treasurer, since he took
office ip 1912. "A Democratic district attorney found that the
sale of Bursum property for taxes would be difficult, owing
to the vagueness with which it is described on the rolls.
THE FIGURES FOR TEN YEARS
On September Z 1916, the Socorro county tax rolls showed
Mr.. Bursum's ~tax-paying record for the past ten years as
follows 4

Surely not alone by preaching to those who are
old,-surey not alone by teaching those who are
middle-aged? There is only one right way, and
that u.s. begin at the foundation. The nation of
tomorrow will be made up of the children who
are in your schoolrooms today. If this nation to-
morrow is to be thrifty,-if these children are to
be men and women equipped with individual pre-
paredness, we must begin teaching them today.
We must teach them in the home,-we must
teach them in the Sunday-school, -above all
things else, we must teach them in the school
room. These children, whose bright, happy faces
gaze into yours from day to day, will be the blood
and fibre,-the bone and sinew of the United
States of America in the next decade or two, and
their children will be the nation of the next era.
So we can be assured that if we teach these
school-chdren the ways of thrift today, when
they leave the schoolroom and start out into &C
tive life, they will be individually prepared to
withstand the temptations of life through the
practices of thrift. We can be assured that they
will at least not be failures. Those who are
thrifty never fail entirely; they may not reach
the heights, but they never will reach the

neglected probably will hang on all

something more serious, such as Pneu-

are hundreds, yes thousands of cough

are good, there are many which are

Strauss on Thrift.

S. w. Strauss, president of the American So
ciety for Thrift speaking before the National
Educational Association at Detroit, Monday, in
sisted that thrifty person will save no matter
what his income is. He said:
"In my life have made this observation: If
a man earns $500 year and cannot save any
thing, he will not be able to save when he earns
1000 or $4,000 or 100000 On the other hand,
if man does save on $500 year, his savings
will be just as great in proportion when he earns
$1,000 5000 or $4,000. And to my mind that
is the great point in thrift 1t is not entirely the
amount of money that one saves, but it is the eff
feet that the act of saving has on ones charac-
ter"
In describing American prodigality, he said:
"We are prosperous nation, but individually,
we are not prosperous people. We are poor.
We have grown rapidly. We have uncovered
and developed vast resources. Our people have
earned plenteousy, but have spent lavishly. We
have wasted. Our people have neglected to lay
by for rainy day. Let the wheels of industry
stop turning in this nation for thirty days, and
the vast majority of our citizens would be pau
pers. Do you know that one person out of every
ten who dies today in large cities is buried in
the POtter's field
Here's how he describes the road to riches:
'Truy the nation should learn by heart these
words from Benjamin Frankn-'The art of get
ting riches consists very much in thrift-all men
are not equally qualified for getting money, but
it is in the power of every one alike to practice
this virtue"
Mr.. Strauss pleads for the teaching of thrift
to children thus:
"How shall we make this nation thrifty :?

An Easy Way to Get
Fat and Be Strong

The trouble with most thin folks
who wish to gain weight is that they
insist on drugging their stomach OF
stuffing it with greasy FOODS: rubbing
on useless flesh creams" or follow.
ing some foolish physical culture
stunt, while the real cause of thinness
goes untouched. You cannot get fat
until your digestive tract assimilates
the food you eat.
There is preparation I--own to re-
liable druggists almost everywhere
which seemingly embodies the missing
elements needed by the digestive or
gans to he'll pthem convert food into
rich, fat-laden blood. This modern
treatment is called Sargol and has
been termed the greatest of flesh
builders. Sargol aims through regen-
erative, re-constructivesp powers to coax
the stomach and intestines to literally
soak up the fattening elements of your
food and pass them into the blood,
where they are carried to the starved,
broken-down cells and tissues of your
body You can readily picture what
result this amazing transformation
should produce as with increased
weight the cheeks fill out, hollows
about neck, shoulders and bust disap-
pear and from 10 to 90 pounds of
solid, healthy flesh is added to the
body. Sargol is absolutely harmless,
inexpensive, efficient. Glenn Thistle
thwaite's four stores and other leading
druggists of this vicinity have it and
will refund your money if you are not
satisfied, as per the guarantee found
in every package.
NOTE-Sargol is recommended only
as flesh builder and while excellent
results in cases of nervous Indigestion
etc, have been reported care should
be taken about using it unless a gain
of weight is desred.-Adv.

Special Court for Women.

Los Angeles has added a court which differs
from judicial organizations Of this kind in many
interesting ways. The purpose of the court is to
try cases in which women are involved without
subjecting them to the unsavory publicity and
deplorable environment of the police court. The
cases that are tried here are those which former
ly attracted to the regular police court hundreds
of spectators eager to hear the disclosure of
shame and dishonor by the unfortunate defend
ants All the officers of the court are women.
The findings of the court are reported to Police
Judge Thomas P. White, who usually acts on the
recommendation of the women.
Prominent women of Los Angeles are cooper
ating with the court, so that the luckless girl or
woman is not forced into devious employment
after trial, but has an opportunity to obtain en-
ployment in wholesome surroundings
The publicity given many cases in which
women are involved initiates against a reform of
these unfortunates. The mantle of charitable
silence thrown about these cases often will do
more good than all the advice of lenent Judge
or the heart-to-heart talk of social worker.
Many police court cases in which boys, girls and
women figure ought be conducted privately.

MR.. FOX AND THE COWARDLY
DUCK.

Old Mr.. Fox was out one morning
looking for his breakfast. 1t was very
early and he crept carefully among
the reeds and rushes that grew by
the river bank. keeping himself well
hidden and looking about all the time
to see If there were any ducks on the
water. Yes, there are two" he said
to himself. II can not get both OF
them: now let me see which is the
latest, that is the one ! will catch
for my breakfast"
Mr. Fox hid behind a bush right at
the edge of the water and watched
and this is what he saw:
The ducks were sailing side by side
when suddenly one of them disappear
ed and came up from under the water
with a morsel OF green in it's bill
when to his establishment Mr.. Fox
saw the other duck take the green Bit
from the other and swim off with il
and eat it,
THAT is pretty good-natured

Back came the duck which had
taken the green bit from its companion
Just as the diving duck disappeared
again. and the minute its head came
above the water again the morsel il
had brought to the surface was grab
bed from its bill by the other and car
red off. and this time the duck came
very close to Mr.. Fox.
Mr., Fox was so curious that he did
not grab the duck, as he could have
done, but he said very sweetly: My
dear friend, are you sick that your
friend feeds you?''
"Oh. no. I'm not sick said the duck +;
I'm only hungry and getting my
breakfast.
