LAX or HARMONY
One of the great obstacles of
commensurate Industrial growth
in keeping with our valuable re-
sources and possibilities is the
iack of harmonious action
throughout the whole state. We
can to much towards section

and the east and the vest do not
PRESENT a united front. We have

whereby the young men of New
Mexico should gain a proper
training for the defence of oui
country. With the general move.

be ready to lead among the
states in our share of the work.
Such preparation would be bene.

state of Colorado This condition
Of affairs must be rectifed, elst
