CATTLEMEN WILL
Save BIG AMOUNT
THROUGH PROTEST
FOREST SERVICE BACK UP
FROM INCREASE OF ONE
HUNDRED PER CENT TO
TWENTY FIVE PER CENT
SAVES $4,000

Albuquerque, February 7.-The
original proposal of the Forest
Service to double their grazing fees
beginning with March 1917. has been
changed according to wire from
Washington The Secretary Of Agri-
cultures decision increases the graz
ing fees for the present year 25%o
and further increase the following
years will be based upon study of
conditions in each Forest and the
real value of the privilege thereon
will determine the future grazing
fees.
Secretary Miller of the New Mexico
Cattle & Horse Growers Associa-
tion announces that this modification
comes directly as result Of the
strong argument presented by his
association and other western orga-
nizations of stockmen, at the con-
vention of the American National
Live Stock Association held in
Cheyenne. Wyoming January l9.
20 and q. The proposal of the
Secretary Of Agriculture was refer
red to the National Association and
through thSul W iiC NdilouS ipLdf
bodies, SO thar the view point of
the stockmen might be obtained
Secretary of Agriculture Houston and
Associate Secretary Potter, were both
in attendance at Cheyenne and went
over the question very thoroughly
with the stockmen. The New Mexico
and Arizona organizations were
perhaps strongest in their objection
to the proposed increase.
w r, Morley, president of the
state organization states that. The
proposal Of the Forest Ser
vice would have added an annual
tax of $95,000 to the cattIem-n of
this state" However, as the result
Of our efforts at Cheyenne. We have
saved the stockmen Of this state
more than $4,000 and we have the
assurance that any future increases
will be made only where conditions
warrant it,"

Penitentiary otherwise the building
could not have been put up. While
the present Capitol Building is COM
modious, it was built for less money
and less expense to the State, than
any other Capitol Building of its
size in the United States. At this
time there are two or three county
court houses in this state that cost
more money than this building cost
the state. When the bill to con-
struct the east wing and the Cover
nor's Mansion. was drawn it was
impossible to get large apprapria-
ton. and convict labor and material
were used very extensively in that
construction. 1t cost the State very
little money. as it was constructed d
principally with convict labor and is
nearly fireproof.
Where the Library is now will
make splendid room for the Land
Commissioners office and will be
very convenient, and all the lower
part of that wing may be convert
ed into use for the Engineering
Department, it will all be needed.

ton will contain A Library room

Court and all OF its officials, the
Attorney Generals offices. are ne
ccssary and needed, and the Off
ces now used by them in the pre-
sent building can be converted into
rooms for the use of the Legisla-
ture when in session, and used for
other purposes when it is not in
session.
The sl25.00O asked at per cent,
will be cheap rate of interest. and
ii it is constructed fireproof. large
part of that interest will be saved
on insurance and other expenses in
cidental to a non-fireproof building.
In the proposed bill the construction
is left almost entirely with the Com
mission. which should not be of more
than three men. as it is much easier
to get meeting Of commission
of that size than a larger one.
II will not be difficult to dispose
OF these lone-tcrm bonds at per
cent. The interest on the $l2S 600
at 4fo will amount to $1,000 a year.
That will give the State a cheap in
vestmcnt which vii last for all time
and provide proper Accommodations
for all officials
It is proposed to construct this
new building at The south end of
the Capitol Building, and connect it
Herewith so that other officials as
we'll as the Judicial Department may
have the benefit OF the Library and
saving in the expense of providing
another heating plant as the present
plant is amp'e and sufficient to heat
this additional building.

A few DETAILS
OF THE PROPOSED
CAPITAL ADDITION
THE NEEDS AND A WAY TO
MEET THEM PRESENTED
BY A CITIZEN WHO HAS
MADE A STUDY or THE
MATTER

The proposed bill for a Capitol
Building Addition is necessary as is
apparent to every member Of the
Legislature, More room is needed
even when the Legislature is not
is session. The present Building is
insufficient to accommodate the actual
necessities OF the growing business
of the state
When the original Capitol Build
ing which was destroyed by fire
in 1892 was built it was thought that
the building was too large, and that
the States business would never re-
quire as much room as was pro-
vided, but at that time the voting

in five or six years it will be near
100000 and the population over 500.
600, and the business of the state
will necessarily increase in proper
tion. At this time the Land De-
partment has not sufficient room to
properly and conveniently do its
work, the same is true of the En-
gineering Department. These two
departments will grow rapidly for
several years to come, and the State
must provide room for their proper
accommodation.
The present Library contains about
1900 volumes and is nearly full, and
it is constantly on the increase.
SO with the legal department. it will
only be few years until the
Supreme Court as now constituted.

and a Court of Appeals or Court

ing in 1905, was drawn it was
to make an appropriation
of over $4,000 The law provided

MEASURES CONSIDERED BY
ARGENTINA CONGRESS

Buenos Aires, Argentina, Feb.
. A five pre- cent ad valorem tax or
all produce exported from the Ar
. gentine is proposed by the new ra
dical government in one OF severa
. important measures which congress
) will consider in the extraordinary
session just convened. The objec,
of the bill is to obtain money for
road-building and secd-purchasing ir
the interests of the agriculturalists
in many parts of the country. II
passed, the law would become ef-
fective Immediately, and its provi-
sions terminate on March 81, 1918
1t is estimated that the tax by that
time would have netted $50O00O00
paper.
A colonization bill is another OF
the new governments proposals. The
attention of congress is called to
the fact that primitive and made
quate agricultural methods are en-
ployed widely in the Argentine, and
it is asked to approve OF the es-
tablishment OF colonies in various
parts of the country by the sale of
government lands on easy terms and
~ the loan of money to enable the
colonist to equip and run his farm
during the first season. The pro-
posed law is modelled on one in
force in New Zealand
/ A third measure proposed is the
authorization of bond issue Of Sl0-
100000 paper, the proceeds of which
would be employed in exploiting the
resources of the country, particular
lly by the establishment OF an agri-
culturalist's bank and the develop
ment of national mercantile
marine; and the exploitation of the
petroleum wells at the Comodoro
Rivadavia.
The budget and a proposal for a
loan of s25O.OOO,OOO god. in order to
cover short-time loans which the
Argentine has contracted during the
last two years, conclude the govern
ment's program. which is regarded
as particularly interesting since it is
the first time that the radical party
has had chance to come forward
with its legislation. Even now the
opposition parties really control the
senate and the chamber OF depu-
ties, and the radicals wifi find if ne
cessary to obtain the support OF one
OF the other parties. The socialists,
nine in number, hold the balarce
of power in the lower house. and
it is said that the governments ex-
port tax and colonization bills. es-
pecially, are assured of firm support
by the socialists
