Still Hope of Suspending Assessments
on Mining Claims, Says Taylor.

Continued from First Page)
prospecting is concerned, in conse-
-Quence of the exceedingly high cost
of powder, steel and other material
making assessment work almost pro-
hibitive and lastly because ninety per
cent of this assessment work is "dead
labor" OF course, under ordinary
circumstances it is necessary to have
the $10c requirement, to prevent min
eral ground being held for specula-
ton, but nobody will be harmed il
the suspension is made in 1917.
In q recent letter to the News-Cham-
pion Mr.. Taylor says:
August 9th, 1917.
Hon. Henry F. Lake. Jr.
Editor, News-Champion,
Gunnison, Colorado.
Enclosed herewith ! send you copy
of the report that l have just made
upon the bill to suspend annual as
sessment work on mining claims,
which is self-explanatory.
am not positive that / can pass
this bill at this session of Congress,
because there is a determination to
consider nothing but the great nation
al emergency appropriation army and
navy bills and the food control bills.
But I am going to do my utmost to
secure the passage of it, and l am
reasonably hopeful that l will sue
ceed.
In view of the uncertainty about
this law, and the peoples desire to
know the status of the matter as to
whether or not they will be compelled
to do their assessment work this year,
/ think it would be well for you to
mention the matter rather fully, and
give the substance of this report to
your readers, stating that if pass the
bill at all, it will be within the next
thirty days, and that they are safe in
waiting that long before doing their
assessment work; if l pass the bill l
will wire you to that effect at once
If this session of Congress does ad-
journ without passing, that bill that
will mean it will have to go over until
the regular session in December, with
! very slim chance Of passing before
the first of the year.
Thanking you for giving this matter
Sneh mention as you deem its i'm
p6rtance warrants, and with my best
wishes, I remain,
Yours very cordially,

life of Columbia for many years. 1t
! was given under the auspices of all
the clubs OF the city and may result
in Mrs, russell being invited to other
l cities to deliver her entertaining and
instructive lecture on "Old and New

Although not public speaker, Mrs.
russell held her audience with rapt
attention. When the relation of sta
Istlcs or more or less dry facts be-
came the least wearying, she would
intersperse bits Of original poetry and
personal experiences that set the au-
dience into laughter or tears. In her
concluding remarks she said that she
did not think she would be true to
the memory Of her late husband, the
Hon. Joseph H. RUSSELL if she failed
o make mention Of his work for the
cause of prohibition in Tennessee.

At the conclusion of the lecture the
audience, among which was mum.

sang, THE Star Spangled Banner"
Mrs. Russell was presented with an
immense bouquet of white chrysan
themums, tied with hugh bow Of
red ribbon, as token of the esteem
in which she is held by her club as
lsociates and friends. Mrs. Frank
Everett made the presentation speech
and paid a well deserved tribute to
Mrs. Russell.
| Preceding the lecture there was a
musical program in which Prof. Paul
Dodge gave a vocal solo, and Miss

why should we senators set our judg-
ment against the absolutely unanimous
opinion OF military men of the world?'
asked Senator Frelinghuysen of New Jer-
sey, in advocating the plan of selective CON
scription proposed by the war department
and approved by the president. The ques-
ton might be asked with special earnest
ness of certain wrong-headed members of
the house Of representatives who persist
in setting up their opinions not only against
those of the military experts but against
the deliberate judgment of history.
Lieut.. Gen. Bridges, one of the British
commissioners who have come to the Unit
ed States to aid this nation in preparing
for war service, is the latest military leader
to confirm the. views Of American army
experts. The volunteer system in Great
Britain, he declares, threw the country's
best Industrial forces into the trenches
when they were badly needed at home, and
left at home many able bodied young men
who we're badly needed at the front. That
is the way the volunteer method neces
sarily works. It is contrary to scientific
principles, to efficiency, to everything that
is essential to national success in prosecut
ing war on a large scale.

Strictly Business

The war committee and the governor,
since the present emergency in the state
became apparent, have moved with clerity
in all the preparations made to secure in
creased production in New Mexico and ar,
range for home defense and security.
The legislature WHICH meets today in
extra session should be equally prompt
and businesslike. There should be. little
oratory; those who would voice their pa
.triotism at too great length and those who
would obstruct the course of affairs with
useless sand unreasonable objections, IL
there be such should subordinate their per-
sonal feelings to the press OF haste and
help make the session brief and business
like. The program to be- submitted is the
result of hard work by able men who
have devoted much thought and care to
the best means of putting New Mexico in a
proper state Of preparedness. With this
basis it ought not to be necessary to have
prolonged debates or partisan clashes. The
mere item of expense alone makes 1t i'm.
perative for the session to attend to it's
business quickly and go home, The New
Mexican, much as it enjoys the presence
of so many eminent New Mexicans in the
capital, hopes that it will do so. No one
doubts the patriotism of any member; and
we haven't time for ~1ag-waving now. The
best kind of patriotism will be e%xemplified
by a spirit of Strictly Business.

New York Editor Wants to
Know Why Border States
Don't Defend Border
(Ellicottville, n. Y, Post.)

The states of New Mexico, Texas and Ari-
iona are bordered on the south by Mexico
and consequently are greatly affected by
Mexican raids and political conditions, and
yet they seem nearly helpless to combat
the evil effects of those conditions and are
continually seeking the aid of the presi-
dent to keep troops on the border for their
protection. These states should have an
immense, wellequipped militia ready to
repel invaders, but strange to say, they have
an extraordinary SMALL guard in comparison
to the number of men of military age.
There are over 10000 men of military age
who are citizens of those three states and
the combined National guard contains only
about 3463 men. What is the matter? Is it
lack of patriotism or merely because it is
easier to sit back and cry for help to the
other states who are better prepared?
There are sufficient males of military age
in those three states to completely clean
up Mexico if necessary without calling on
a single other state to assist them and
the men of those states are better pre-
pared to fight in that climate than those in
the more northern climate. \
There is bound to be future trouble in
Mexico. The larger share OF the greasers
are SO illiterate that they think Texas is
all of the United States and that if they
conquer Texas they have beaten the Unit
ed States-and we have done nothing to
change that opinion. Our little standing
army invaded that country with its hands
tied and certainly accomplished nothing
which would overawe them. In fact, the
punitive expedition reminds us somewhat
Of that old popular song, ''They walked
right in and turned around and walked
right out again.
II there should be trouble between this
country and Germany or any other nation,
New York would need her National guard
in New York. Maine would need her guard
in Maine, etc.
Isn't it about time the border states
awoke to their own interests as long as they
are perfectly capable of taking care of
those interests?

The Fall Plan

Senator Fall seems to be getting across
at washington with his plan to secure .au-
thorization for the raising of three or more
regiments of cavalry for border protection
in the border states. The plan is to put
mounted volunteers in the field and the
Fall plap.the same plan that has. been adj
vocated by the New Mexican, will offer the
desired opportunity for the rough rider
element, the hardy and fearless plainsmen
and cowboys and range riders. New Mex
ico's best fighting material, to get into the
kind Of service they are eager for. This
plan means that the three border states will
be permitted to utilize the most feasible
means Of establishing real border defense;
it means a concerted plan for the three
states and 1t is bound to succeed. Under
proper leadership we believe such a regi-
ment could be raised with comparative ease
in this state; and that it would be a more
efficient military unit than any other which
can be secured. Take the average man who
has served as a member of the New Mexico
mounted police, or the average Texas or
Arizona anger, and You nave the type OF
