IMPORTANT RULING
ON HIGHWAY Levy

In an opinion given the state high
way commission today, Attorney Gen
eral Harry l.. Patton holds that the
counties of the state cannot levy for
road purposes the two mills authorize
ed by Section "a of the new road law,
in addition to the five mills authoriz-
ed by the Bursum tax law, passed in
1915. The Bursum law fixeu five
mills as the maximum levy for coun-
ties, and in his opinion Attorney GEN
eral Patton states that to permit the
levying of the two mills In addition to
the five mills, would be to hold that
the Bursum law al repealed insofar
as it related to the levy of taxes for
road purposes.
The only cou for counties
that desire to raise increased
mills. would be to hold that the Bur-
sum law was ~repealde insofar as it re-
lated to the levy Of taxes for road pur-
poses. The only recourse for coun-
ties that desire to raise increased
amounts for roads, in order to take
advantage of the federal %appropria-
ton, is to apply to the state tax COM
mission for authority to increase the
'otal levy, under the provisions OF
Chapter IA of the 1915 Session Laws.
The new road law specifically pro-
vides that the one mill tax authorized
for state road purposes shall be ex-
cepted from the limitations Of the
Bursum law, and consequently that
levy a be made.

COMPANY
AS HOME GUARD

Las Vegas, N. M, April 11.-Fore-
man Ludwig William Ilfeld, of the r..
Romero Hose and Fire company, has
SEN a letter to Governor Lindsey, in
forming him of the resolution adopt
ed at the last meeting Of the COM
pany. The resolution follows:
1--WE, the members of the e. Ro-
nero Hose and Fire company, being
a body of rs uniformed men, owning
a 10O-horsepower motor truck, hereby
offer services to act as a home
guard"
The Romeroes are one of the best
organized bodies in the state, says
the Optic, and should they be called
on for protection against any invas-
ion, they could be relied upon to an
swer the call quickly, and to be eff
Gent in every movement. They are
brave in fighting fire, and they would
show equal bravery under fire."

GENERAL CALL FOR VOLUNTEER
SUBSCRIPTIONS THIS WEEK;
DOLLAR FEEDS CHILD A MONTH

In response to the appeal ent out
over the state by the New Mexico
division of the Rocky Mountain Club
Hoover Fund for relief in Belgium,
contributions amounting to a consider
able amount have begun to pour into
the Albuquerque Office.
The fund Offices issue a general
call for volunteer subscriptions this
week, and a liberal return is looked
for. Special stress is laid upon the
fact that every dollar raised is for
relief work only as the actual expen-
SEES of the campaign operation have
been covered by a fund raised for that
purpose.
America does not realize the ter
rible situation Belgium faces. Tuber.
%culosis, ricketts, and other diseases
are rampant everywhere, caused by
lack Of necessary food supplies. Esl
pecially do the children suffer, and
Chairman Hoover of the National Re-
lief Commission reports that only
from the United States can this food
supply be obtained. Shall America
turn her face to such suffering?
Every dollar raised feeds one child
for a month. The blank following is
to assist you in helping this worthy
cause. Will you do it?

WOMEN'S PART N
CONSERVATION TOLD.
(ey Leased Wire to New Mexican)

(By Leased Wire to New Mexican)
New Orleans, La, April 11.-Con'
~servation projects in which women
are taking active part or lively inter
est were described by Mrs. John Dick
inson Sherman of Chicago, chairman
Of the Conservation department Of the
General Federation of Women's Clubs,
in the council meeting Of the fedora
ton held here today.
Speaking of the. work of the mem.
bers of women's clubs, Mrs. Sherman
said the Dunes National Park and
Mississippi Valley National Park were
especially interesting undertakings.
In the attempt to establish the Dunes
Park she said the members of WON
ems clubs in Illinois, Indiana and
Michigan would try to raise more
than 81, 900, 900 for the purchase of the
land. The United States government
had been asked to appropriate $685.
900 for the purchase of land for the
Mississippi Valley National Park.
Reviewing the progress in estab.
fishing national parks last year, Mrs.
Sherman said the Hawaii, Lassen
Volcanic and Mount Mckinley Ma
tional Parks had been created, Rocky
Mountain Park enlarged and the pri-
vately owned big trees in Sequoia
Park had been saved.
Mrs. Sherman urged the women to
exercise their influences in behalf of
the Grand Canyon National Park bill
in congress.
The conservation department of the
federation, she said, is concentrating
it's efforts to save the insectivorous
birds by education of public school
children, the passage by congress Of
the migratory bird treaty bill, state
Legislation prohibiting the sale of
feathers of native birds as the only
way of stopping women from wearing
them, and the elimination of the stray
cat by a nationwide system Of licens.

Price of Maxwell
Cars to Be Raised

Unable longer to offset the con-
stantly-soaring price levels for raw
materials without either taking some.
selling price in order to make ends
meet, the Maxwell Motor Sales cor
poration, it is made known, has found
it necessary to increase the retail
price of the Maxwell touring car and
roadster models. The advance takes
place May l. 1t amounts to $50.
Indicating the degree Of efficiency
that has been attained in the Max
we'll company's manufacturing plants,
this increase takes rank, it is pointed
out, as the narrowest margin of price
advance found necessary by any au-
tomobile producing organization since
prices first evidenced a marked up
ward trend as a result of the strin-
gency in metals and other raw ma
terials after the first year or so of
the European war.
Through announcement a month in
advance of the price change, purchas-
ers who take early steps for prepare
ton for the coming season of the
motor cars greatest usefulness are
to be given the advantage of the pres
ent Maxwell retail price of $685. for
one month. This makes possible a
financial saving that assumes some
Importance in the light OF hints from
the Maxwell company that it is pos
sible the price may have to be further
advanced if conditions in the ma
terials markets do not adjust them
selves more satisfactorily in the next
few months than they have in the
period since January 1.
The closed models of the Maxwell
company are not as yet affected by
the price increase. 1t is asserted that
a lift may be given the closed car
figures also. should the company find
it necessary again to add to the tour
ing car and roadster prices that must
apply after May /.

to the war department yesterday

attention to Section 4, Article 4, Of
the United States constitution, which
makes It obligatory on the Federal
government to protect any state from
invasion, and stated that in the opin'
ion Of men well acquainted with the

vice at this time, the state would pro.

ent, the border situation was thorough
ly discussed, and the governor decided
to furnish some of the National Guard
rifles now at the armory here to
home defense units in the mining
camps and principal towns Of the two
counties. ~Indemnifying bonds for the
safe return of the arms will be given
by the Grant and Luna county mine

the mining camps trusted employees
will be used as guards, and IL desired
they will be commissioned as mounted

Lindsey asking him to issue mounted

there. This request and any other
request from any point in the

issued mounted police commissions to
a number of Santa Fe employees who
will guard Santa Fe property in the
Abo canyon in Torrance county. A
request for these commissions was
transmitted to the governor through
Attorney General Patton by A. B.
