WE MUST HAVE FAIR
AND EQUITABLE TAXES

Washington, April 2-The Repub-
lican Pub lefty Association, through
its President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne,
Jr, today gave ort the following
statement at its Washington Head
quarters.
"The American peoie do not merit
the scolding administered to them by
Howard F. Coffin, who makes the
vague and indiscriminate charge that
a condition of hysteria exist. That
there is and has been for the past
four years al abundance of kysteria,
no one who has watched the e%rratic
course of events will question, but
it can be so definitely located
that there is no justification for a
general accusation. Mr. Coffin does
not mention specifically any of the
factories that he says have been
c'osed without cause, but it is safe
to say that if he will investigate
he will find an explanation in the
uncertain outcome of legislative re-
commendations made by this Demo
cratic administration. Mr.. Coffin's
nearest approach to the problem be-
fore the country is in his closing
sentence where he says: I'VE must
have successful industries If success
full tax !evies are to be raised; but
he gets the cart before the horse.
He should have said: we must
have fair and equitable tax levies
if we are to have successful in
dustries", We cannot tax industries
to death and then revive them by
scolding the country for hysteria.

HOW OUR CREDIT HELPS

Everybody knows that one purpose of our
five billion dollars bond issue is to enable us
to loan three billions to the Allies, but every
body does not know the particular reason why
we are doing it instead of letting them Dor
row as they have in the past. This reason
"a very clearly explained by Senator Smoot,
Of Utah, during the debate on the bond bill.
He said that the Allies could raise the money
by selling bonds as they have in the past. but
that the rate Of interest, commissions, etc,
would be excessive. Said he, There is no
question that if England should undertake to-
day to place a bond issue at the rate of interest
Of ~ per cent; and England, or whatever
Of 3N per cent she would not get more than
81 TO 90 cents on the dollar for the bonds. Her
credit Is not as good as that of the United
States, and now our country is undertaking. to
loan to England our credit. which is worth
o cents on the dollar, at a rate of 3H per
cent; and England. OF whatever country Dor
rows TIE money, viii get the advantage of the
credit Of the United States.

THE H. c. OF L.

When eggs are a dollar a dozen
And meat is a quarter a bite,
And even the price of such fodder as rice
Is soaring away out of sight,
You'll find. if YOU just do without EN-,
There will soon be an over supply
There's never a doubt, if you'll only hold
out,
That the price will come down by and by,
You can cut out the milk and the coffee,
The cake and the bread and the pie:
The pickles and jam and the ham and the lamb
You can swear that you simply won't buy,
And the men who are boosting the prices,
Will not have a thing they can sell,
And inside of a year there'n be nothing to fear
From the terrible H. c. of l..

SPLENDID ADVANTAGES
AT VERY LITTLE COST

Ample Accommodations both in the
way of class rooms and dormitory
will be provided for the summer
students at the Silver City Normal
School this year for the session ex-
tending from June 4 to July u. The
completion of the new building and
the remodeling of the cd gymna-
SUM will afford the additional space
required, while the faculty strength
ened by the addition of many of
the leading educators of the Gown

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
HELPING FOOD CAMPAIGN
Continued from page one)

children, and the grown people OF
the community as we'll. Cities in
other states are doing this. In
New Mexico, Santa Fe, Albuquerque
and several other towns have done
this and are already planting their
gardens.
In the rural districts one person
can be employed for several schools
and communities.
2. That the work of the Boys and
Girls clubs be speeded up and in
creased. Every boy and girl in the
state over nine years of age should
be a member of a club.
3. That many of the products
raised cannot be consumed or sold
This surplus should be canned for fu-
ture use. An abundance of beans,
corn, tomatoes, chill and potatoes
should be canned.
4. That teachers and demonstra-
tors be employed to take charge OF
the canning operations at the time
such service is needed, making the
school house the center OF the &C
t~ivities undertaken. Wherever it is
impossible to secure a home eco
Monies woman a capable and COM
petent woman can be found in every
community who will gladly perform
this service.
S. That a committee be organized
to plan this work in detail, the
members to consist of the school
board, a public-spirited woman, the
men and women employed to take
charge of the gardening and canning,
and the county agricultural agent
whrever one is available.
d. That gardening and allied in
dustries be considered a valid Excuse
for absence from school.
7. That the school call freely up
on extension workers, the Agricul-
tural college, and this department for
assistance and literature. The de-
partment of education shall make it
a part of it's duty to keep in close
touch with the commission and Sc
cure suggestions from it as to the
work to be undertaken.
Finally, it is highly important that
we should not become hysterial and
expend money and effort uselessly.
Our energies must be directed and
we look with confidence to the edu-
cational forces of the state for intel
ligent cooperation in this work. We
should determine what should be
.reasonably undertaken and the most
effective means to accomplish the
desired results. Not many of us as
teachers and school children can
wear uniforms and shoulder guns for
service in this great war in which
we find our selves forced, but we can
perform a service equally important
by helping to feed armies in the
field and to prevent distress and
suffering caused by a food shortage
at home. We are facing a great
crisis; and teachers and children,
without asking what the compensa-
ton will be, must contribute to the
fullest possible extent to meet the
needs Of the hour. Courage in the
common place is perhaps as COM
mendable as the courage in the
more conspicuous walks of service.
Very sincerely,
JONATHAN H. WAGNER,
Superintendent of Public Instruction.
RUTH c. MILLER,
Director Industrial Education.

The president has called out the New
Mexico National Guard, including Battery A
and the First regiment. II is expected that
400 men will he asked for. As this state
is on the Mexican border, from below which
there is a constant menace. it should be will
ing and anxious to furnish its full quota of
GuardSmen, and more, if the government asks
for them. Men who join the Guard now are
REGARDED as bona fidc volunteers, and will be
discharged at the end Of the war. They also
will have an ODDOrtunitv Of qualifying to be
Officers in the larger army, which likely will
be raised by CONSUMPTION.

Now that the winter wheat crop through
out the country is reported as only 65 per cent
Of the normal, and it is necessary to supple
ment it by the planting Of a great deal of
spring wheat, it is time for the dry land states
to get busy and plant every acre of available
land which is under irrigation from ditch,
well, or otherwise, as the drouth will have lit
tie effect on the production of such lands,
Not more than half the land under ditch,
with plenty of water available for its irriga-
ton, is usually put to CROPS of any kind in New
Mexico. This condition should be changed
now, every acre possible to water should be
used this year. 1t should be planted to what
ever crops it is best adapted. Production of
food supplies should be given preference and
experiments in uncertainties eliminated. There
will be ample demand at exceedingly high
prices for all the ordinary staples this year.

Many a small farmer in the past in this

to sell a few beans, produced as a sort OF BY
product. at three or four cents a pound. He
now has an opportunity to go the limit and
produce just as many as his acreage will per-
init. with little chance of receiving less than
twelve cents a pound for them next fall. They
are worth ten cents now, with a prospect of
food crop shortage and an increased demand,

MINING ACTIVITY
IS INCREASING IN
This STATE AGAIN
HIGH PRICE AND CONTINUED
DEMAND FOR ALL THE
METALS is CAUSING MORE
MEN TO DELVE INTO THE
MOUNTAINS

The purchasers of the Jones ant
Winters groups of mining claims
in eastern Santa Fe county are
bringing in the machinery for the
rapid development of the ore bod
les already shown to be there. 1t
is understood that the first mach
inery put IN the property will be
an air compressor, ore cars, rails
work, after which three shifts will.
be worked or the property. Reduc-
ton works will come later.
The Bland mines are showing con-
siderable activity and as it is an
"off" time for the assessment work
the activity means something. 1t
is known that large bodies of ore
exist in the camp, but will proba-
bly, never be worked until there
is a custom mill erected at some
point easily reached by the major
ity of the larger properties of the
district.
1t is reported that the low-grade
lead-zinc ores of the Magdalena dis
trict will find a profitable market
at the new process plant at Wal
do, The new plant will. be able to
handle the low-grade ores carrying
no silver or gold in a way entire
ly satisfactory to the producers, and
later it is expected that the pre-
cious metals will be saved, and paid
for.
A number of inquiries have been
made for placer properties, but the
demand for water rights accompany
ing the inquiries make the known
New Mexico PAGERS undesirable.
New Mexico has a large area Of
placer gravel which can only be
worked when some successful dry
machine is brought out, or, in some
districts, with machines handing
yardage with comparatively
water. 1t is claimed that sew
cral townships in one district of
state will, average above fif-
teen cents, which will be pay dirt
when water or a dry machine can
be taken to it.
Fl Paso money has been going
into New Mexico mines of late and
several companies financed by Tex
as men are operating in the south
ern part of the state. The Buckeye
Company, with properties at
Magdalena The Jumbo Mining Com
Dany, of Luna county; The Pyramid
