USES OF LIBERTY LOAN

1t is a mistaken notion that all
of the money raised by the sale of
the Liberty Loan Bonds which is TO
be used for war purposes will be
an eventual loss to the United States
and its people; that it is all to be
spent for things used up in war or
useless except for purposes of war.
1t is well to remember that a great
deal of the money raised by the
sale Of Liberty Loan Bonds is to be
invested in things that will be of
great rise and value to the nation
when peace shall be declared.
One thing that most people realize
will be of value is that it is going
to PIT this nation in a state of pre-
paredness. While it is hoped and
believed that the end of this war
will be the ending of all great wars

EDITORIAL CLIPPINGS
From the War News.
WATCHING PRESIDENT

The Senate is not wholly pleased
with the Administrations conduct OF
the war affairs. This was shown on
the vote on the amendment to the
food bill, the amendment providing
for "The Joint Committee on Ex-
penditures in the Conduct of the
War" The committee was to be
composed of three Democratic and
two Republican senators, three DEM
o~cratic and two Republican repre-
sentatives.
One of the significant things about
this amendment is hat it was intro
duced by Senator Owen, of Okla
homa, considered to be one of the
Presidents staunchest friends and
supporters. The vote was s. for, 81
against, IL not voting. Democrats
cast all the votes against, but IS
of them voted with the Republicans.
Senator Fall was among the IL not
voting. Senator Jones one of the
81 voting against.
The Is Democrats voting for the
amendment we're, Beckhsm, Ken

A TIME TO SAVE.

There is only II thing certain
conditions that peace is going to
bring and that is their uncertainty.
1t may be that an era of great pros
perity may be upon us; it may be
an era OF stagnation; it may be an
era of the Sevcrest competition we
have ever experienced.
1t involves a paradox, but in this
present time of comparative COM
mercial peace, for the great war has
largely stopped for a time the strug-
gle among nations for foreign COM
mcrce, it is a wise thing TO prepare
for the economic war that will sue
coed the present worldwide war.
1t is well for every American Citi-
zen to lay aside in some absolutely
safe security something for that day
that is coming. If it be great pros
perity one will he able to take adj
vantage of it, If it be stagnation one
will be enabled to live through it.
If it be a bitter competition n will
be better able to withstand it.
No better provision could be made
for the future than an investment
in Liberty Loan Bonds. They are
absolutely safe and no possible con-
ditiou can destroy their value; eX-
empt from all taxation except estate
or inheritance taxes the income from
them cannot be lcssencd; with a
market everywhere in the United
States and, as competent financial
authorities assert, a market in every
commercial center in the world when
peace comes, they will be readily con-
vertible into cash. They possess all
of the clements that would attract a
sound investing mind in times of I'M
certainty.
More than that an American citi-
zen investing in Liberty Loan Bonds
is investing in victory, for the pro-
ceeds Of the Liberty Loan Bonds are
to win the war and bring peace in
Europe and peace and safety to the
rest Of the world.

A MEANING.

In the editorial under the caption
"A Good Time To Be Careful" pub
lished last week, a sentence was
made to read:
at has decreased the valuations in
no county because the law provides
for two classes of mining property,
tax the producing mine on its land
surface values and Improvements,
and then collect a tax IN the net
profits"
This is exactly what was not in
tended, as the law makes it possible
to do that very thing, and part of
the above should have read: "in rea-
lity making it POSSIBLE to tax
the producing mine on its land sur
face values and Improvements, and
then collect a tax on the net pro-
fits"
The SILVER City Enterprise shows
that in 1911 the Chino company paid
a total tau of $4.0l0S0 in Grant coun-
ty on land and improvements. while
in 1916 the same company paid $780,
and all the time the tax rate
has been going down in that coun-
ty. In addition to the regular tax,
is assessed and collected upon
all visible or known values, the
same company paid in 1916, under the
workings of the law of 1915, the very
comfortable sum of $l03. 070.40.
This bears out our contention that
the law has been extremely .benefi-
cial to the state as a tax producer,
and that in every known instance
the effect has been to increase the
payments of the mining compa-
nies

that can be seen and positively i
Identified, anyhow, but in addition to
the many thousands Of dollars col
lcctcd that way, also collected the
very satisfactory sum Of one hun
drcd and twenty thousand dollars,
at practically nc extra cost to the
county or state, that being the re-
suit Of running the county tax levy
against the net earnings of the min
ing companies.
We know nothing about the legal
standing the law may happen to
have, but understand from compel
cnt lawyers that it is undoubtedly
constitutional, what we do know is
that it is producing considerable re
venue for counties and state, and
we can see no particular advantage
in doing something to stop these re
venue until the legislature and the
tax experts have found a better tax
alton measure TO take its place which
they have not been able to even
suggest up to this time.

Patriotic Expression

"The highest honor that can come
TO a young man of Oklahoma is to
be chosen as one of the first fifteen
thousand men this state will provide
for the defense of the nation" de-
clared Governor r. L. Williams, OF
Oklahoma, Sunday afternoon. "The
band of men SEN will be the strong
est, the ablest, the best fit of the
manhood of the state. They will
make up the g~randest offering Ok
lahoma can make to the nation in
this time of crisis when failure to
fight for the principles for which
our nation stands would mean that
some time, in two years Or in fifteen,
our own homes would probably be
devastated by the Prussian hordes,
women and children, wives and
mothers in our own state would
endure the suffering, the pillaging.
the ravaging that the Prussian war
machine has visited upon every coun-
try it has reached"

MONEY IN WHEAT

With a guaranteed price of not
less than 81 a bushel for wheat, New
Mexico farmers have a real bonanza
within their grasp. Furthermore,
every man who makes the soil pro-
duce a bushel of wheat is doing more
reaping an extraordinary return
on his investment-he il rendering
patriotic service to his government,
which is in a grim struggle to keep
the German tyrant from realizing his
dream of world control.

BLIND PREJUDICE.

Attorney General Patton is certain
ly right in holding that the mine
output taxation law is unconstitu-
tional. We hope to see the law
tested in the supreme court and feel
confident it will be nullified and I'M
less the court ignores both the let
ter and spirit of the constitution
it certainly will be. This law is the
most broken piece Of special legis-
lation of which the New Mexico
legislature has been guilty. and it
has been guilty of quite a number
Pennington Times Hustler.
1t is a safe bet that Editor But
Ter knows nothing about the mine
tax law. its workings nor its cons

led by a desire to do the right thing,

tax on the net profits of the mines

Private MAY Be Promoted.

If the recommendations of Major
General Pershing are accepted by the
war department and infantry COM
panies are increased to $50 men,
with six officers, there will be con-
siderable promotion at Camp Funs-
ton within a short time, and a large
number of vacancies in the rank
of second lieutenant will be Great
ed, which will be filled by exami-
nation of enlisted men of the regi-
ment.
The new plan to give each COM
pany two captains will promote every
first lieutenant, and two or three
second %lieutenants to that grade. One
vacancy in the grade of captain al
ready exists. The moving up of the
first lieutenants and some of the
second lieutenants will leave nearly
forty vacancies in the grade of Sc
cond lieutenant, and as there is no
possible chance for any civilian to
get one of the appointments, all of
them will be filled by men who en-
listed as private soldiers.
There are a number of educated
young, men in the regiment, many of
them former members of the guard
who had months of active service
on the Mexican border, who are
either prepared, or are preparing
themselves to take the examination
for second ~lieutenants. They are in
every way fitted to perform the du-
ties of an officer of that grade, and
the higher officers consider that
there is more than enough material
of that kind to fill all vacancies
which will be created if the new plan
goes into effect as proposed.

FREIGHT RATES AND POLITICS.

Very recently the State Corpora
lion Commission held a hearing in
this city which concerned an in

drafted into the regular army, An
gust s, all officers of the same grade
were takep in as of equal rank, but
in determining precedence it is neces-
sary to 60 back of that date. The
fact that Major Bujac has had serv-
ice as a commissioned officer in the
regular army, places him ahead of
Majors Bail and King. As Major
Bail was commissioned with his pre-
sent rank some months before Ma
jor King, he will rank the latter.

MORE MISTAKES.

The appointment of Ralph c. Ely
as the Hoover agent in New Mex
leo will not prove popular for the
simple reason that the administra-
ton of the affairs will not be in &C
cordance with the intent Of the law
nor the intentions of Mr.. Hoover,
and not in the real interests of the
people OF this state.
II must not be forgotten that Mr..
Ely is primarily a promoter, with no
successful business experience. to
recommend, him TO the people OF
this state, and many failures to his
discrcdit, not the least Of which is
the rcceivcrship Of the New Mexico
Central, from which much unfavor-
able to him has come.
The fact that Mr., Ely has been
di%scredited by his party, and when
candidate for office could gather to
his support not a single delegate
in a great state convention, is OF
no particular interest in connection
with this affair, except that his own
county refused to support him for
the very reasons which should have
prevented his appointment.
Mr.. Ely is a mar of good appear
ance is a good talker and has many
of the qualifications of a good poll
tician and a successful man, and the
men responsible for his appointment
should have known that with all his
advantages there were reasons why
Mr.. Ely has 10 following, could not
secure the support of a single repre-
sentative business man in his own
county, and as a consequence could
not be a satisfactory appointment
if the feelings Of the people Of this
state are to be consulted.
1t is understood that his appoint
ment is an effort upon the part OF
United States Senator Jones to pay
an imaginary political debt, undoubt-
eddy a settlement for the betrayal of
the republican party of the state by
its former state chairman, but it is
unfair to the people of this state,
and Senator Jones, MI. Hoover, and
all others connected with the ap-
pointmcnt. have made a serious mis-
take, another of several serious mis-
takes chargable to Jones and the
members of the present administra-
ton.
