Figures

The Santa Fe Railroad company has
some of the highest paid and ablest experts
in the world. Some of them appeared In
the rate hearing here last week.
One of the chief DIRECTORS to the pro-
posed fifteen per cent intrastate freight
rate raise was a lawyer who, naturally, not
being a rate expert, could not combat fig
ures with figures. He doubtless represents
a large proportion of the people Of New
Mexico who are not rate experts but have
q pretty definite conviction that they have
a kick. 1t is, moreover, natural for many
Of our practical and volunteer farmers who
are raising the acreage to increase patriotic
production this year, to wonder where they
are to get off If a raise in freight rates is
slapped onto the present food situation, bad
enough in all conscience and getting worse
rapidly.
The Santa Fe Railroad company has had
a progressive, empire-building policy In re-
gard to New Mexico and the Southwest.
Perhaps in justice the proposed rate in
crease should be granted. But this state
should adopt a policy of scrutinizing such
figures when they are presented, and going
into such presentation intelligently and
thOAOuohAy IL III OShO
words, the hundreds of thousands of con
sumers in New Mexico should have their
case presented just as ably and Just as
vigorously and as exhaustively as the rail-
roads; and the same careful study should
be given the peoples side of the question
as is given the railroads by the keen ex-
perts at their command.
A true deduction nay be founded on I'M
proper premises.
1t isn't necessary to imply that a rail-
road statistician is a liar. But it must be
remembered that he is presenting the case
for one side only. Given a similarly able
presentation of the other side and the av'
erage is likely to be much more nearly
fair to all concerned.
Without %impugning any ~veracity whatso.
ever, it Is possible for experts to marshal
figures with absolute conclusiveness to
prove pretty nearly any contention desired.
Figures are elastic things.
1t may be all right to assume that what,
ever the interstate commerce commission
believes is justice in interstate traffic is
O.. X. for intrastate rates In New Mexico
This, however, is a poor system. The state
of New Mexico should be able to deal out
it's own justice, intelligently and fairly. Elk
perts have presented a strong and appar
emily an absolutely convincing case for the
railroads. The papers have been filled with
it. Their columns are now more than ready
to receive at equal length detailed data
setting forth the peoples side. If the PEG
pie have no side and no ground for oppo
sition, well and good. Undoubtedly the rail.
roads believe their contention just; but the
railroads may possibly be biased. And GER
tainly a statement quoted In the leading
newspapers of the country, and not denied
in which the president of the Santa Fe
railroad was made to utter an optimistic
prediction about the prosperity of his cor
poration can hardly be airily dismissed as
a mere "misinterview.''

Well, Well!
(Las Vegas Optic.)

To chide Las Vegas and Las vegans for
what 1t may at times consider their short
comings, the Optic believes, is its own par
ticular privilege. Therefore, it is prone
to become peeved when the criticism and
advice come from some other newspaper Of
the state. Particularly when that other
newspaper is published in a community
which could listen with profit to a little
Gliding on Its own account.
The Santa Fe New Mexican is utterly
astounded that Las Vegas should be able
to muster enough spirit to have a MONDAY
commercial club luncheon once a week. 1t,
expresses its admiration of the plan, but
wonders why on earth Las Vegans have
the ambition, the enterprise and even the
price to participate in a weekly eat-boost
gathering. 1t intimates that if Las Vegas
can do anything and will do anything, that
same thing must certainly have been done
by every other town in the world first, and
wonders why Santa Fe should be so far be-
hind "the last place on earth"
It's rather strange that the New Next
can, which is an observing sheet, has
seemed to overlook the fact that Las Vegas
has had an extremely live commercial club
for the past four years. Due to the aetivi-
ties of this organization last year, hun
.dreds of Texas tourists we're brought not
only to Las Vegas. but to Santa Fe, not,
~withstanding the fact that Santa Fe gave
absolutely no aid, though asked to do so.
This year the number of tourists will be
multiplied MANIFOLD, because the Las Vegas
commercial club is spending $4,000 in an
effort to bring them to New Mexico. Santa
Fe was asked to help, but did not do SO
further than to borrow from the State
Museum some scenic films to be used by
the Las Vegas commercial clubs publicity
expert in a campaign through Texas and
Oklahoma.
In the matter Of paved streets Santa Fe
is a little ahead of Las Vegas; the state
paid for most, il not all. of her paving. In
the matter of interesting sights for the an
t~iquity-hunting tourist Santa Fe excels Las
Vegas; God, the cliff dwellers, the %conquis.
tadores and the Indians and the contribu-
lions of the supporters of the State Mu-
scum and Archaeological Society did the
work at little cost to Santa Fe. For years
Santa Fe county discouraged transcontf-
mental auto traffic through New Mexico by
refusing to keep pace with her neighbors
in road work. Las Vegas this year has
raised $4,000 for tourist propaganda and
$4,000 for the Cowboys" Reunion. What has
Santa Fe raised?
Time was a few years ago when 1t was
Just to regard Las Vegas as a sleeping com
munity. But that time has passed and
passed for good. The only reason that
Santa Fe does not know it, is because she

what is going on around her.

J. s. CONTROLS FATE 0F NEUTRALS CAN STARVE THEM
 OR FORCE INTO WAR Foreign Diplomats in Washington State Presidents Embargo on Ex. portatiOn of FOodstufYs Places Neu. trals in Embarrassing Position.

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 13.- The foreign diplomats here expressed the opinion today that the Presidents s embargo on the eXportation of food stuffs, which becomes effective on Sunday, places the European neutrals in most embarrassing position. AS most of these nations depend largely upon the United States for at least a portion of their food, it places this country in the position to either starve them or force them into the war on the side of the allies, as it may desire.
 While it is not intimated that either of these courses will be pursued by the government, and it is freely ad- mitted that no such situation was con- templated when the order was made, it is admittedly true that the fate of the neutral nations lies in the hands of the United States. and the repre- sentatives of these countries here state the situation is most embar- rassing one.
