The New Mexico government was
likened to a range COW by Governor
Lindsey in an address at the annual
meeting Of the Taxpayers associa-
ton in the supreme court room at the
capitol this morning. The range COW,
he said, was something to which
nothing vas contributed II 1t could be
avoided, but that was protected and
looked after solely with the idea OF
getting something out of it.. The
idea, he declared, was to develop the
range COW into a dairy animal.
1--WE mustn't consider the govern
ment as an institution from which to
get something but to which we con-
tribute nothing" he said.
Governor Lindsey was invited by
President Hagerman to address the
association members, and took up the
questions of state expenditures and
tax collections, to which reference
had been made in President Hager-
mans annual address. 'The most
striking Feature of the presidents
address," the executive stated, was
the statement that expenditures for
the general government are greater
than the income. That, of course,
can't continue. At the last regular
session of the legislature certificates
of indebtedness amounting to $780,
900 had to be issued to pay delinquent
salaries. The usual procedure in
such a case would be to appoint a re-
ceiver and wind up the business OF
the corporation. That undoubtedly
would be done II the corporation was
not tho government. The %appropria-
lions have overreached the income,
and still many citizens have heaped
curses on the head of Senator Clark,
president of the senate and chairman
of its finance committee, because he !
insisted in cutting out demands. !
have mad occasion to Investigate some
of the public institutions, and l find
that many public servants do not
know what income is. They do not
know that it is against the law to ex-
pend more than there is to expend."
Discussing tax collections, Cover
nor Lindsey called attention to the
fact that an effort was made at the
last regular session Of the legislature
to secure an amendment to the col
lection law, and stated that he had
written the various district attorneys
urging them to make every effort for
better tax collections. 1T is dis
couraging," he asserted, ito counties
that make extraordinary large collec-
lions when they look across and see
how little some of the other counties
are doing. Some way should be de-
vised to bring up these delinquents.
| suppose it is to some extent a mat
ter of evolution. But I feel that
there is no occasion to be dis
couraged or pessimistic. believe
that under the present law this years
collections will be better

state College, N. M, Aug. 21.-As in
former years, the engineering courses
at the New Mexico College of Agri
culture and Mechanic Arts during the
year 1917-l91S, will be among the very
strongest offered at that institution
which Will open its doors to the young
men and young women Of New Mexico
on september 26. During the last few
months, Dean Barnes, of the Engineer.
ing School at State College has had
brought to his attention almost daily
the great demand In the southwest for
technically trained men-engineers OF
all kinds. The graduates OF A. & M.
are gobbled up by the huge develop
ment corporations before the diplomas
are given out. Contracts are offered
to men in their senior year which are
extremely attractive, with splendid OPP
portunities for advancement. Men are
wanted in the engineering lines not
only In the southwest, but in all South
American and Central American coun-
tries. Men from A. & M. engineering
department have uniformly made good.
Whether 1T is the broadening atmos-
phere and attitude OF self reliance in
culcated atsA. & M, whether it is the
thorough grounding in technique and
in shop p~ractice-or whether a COM
bination of these things--it is a fact
that the New Mexico engineering
graduates have prospered quickly in
engineering work and have been pro-
NOTED as rapidly as was good for their
W careers. Dean Barnes has made a
special study of the careers nj : A..
& M. engineers and has be-
to discover how very grei Int
age of them occupy impoi INT places
in the engineering world today.
State College must at least furnish
engineers for New Mexico said Dean
Barnes recently. 1--WE have enough
calls for men for work right in our
own state to furnish positions for all
graduates. The big mining COM
panies are in constant need of men;
the irrigation development enterprises
require the services Of trained irriga-
tion experts, and in every branch of
industrial development and expansion
the daily demand is for technically
trained men," sna

HAWKINS SAYS ITS
PUBLIC INDIFFERENCE

Secretary OF State Antonio Lucero
suggested that w. A. Hawkins, gen
eral counsel for the e. 2. G S. w.
railroad, give the association his idea
of the reason for poor tax collections
in various counties, and the possible
remedy. Mr.. Hawkins, in respond
ing, said it was a matter to which he
had given little thought, but that in
difference in public sentiment was,
in his opinion, largely responsible.
Ir%regularity in collections, he stated,
seemed to result in some instances
from the fact that county officials at
tempted to get only enough for local
government. Everyone comes for
ward and pays his taxes when he
feels the necessity for it." he declar-
ed. 81 think we are getting rid of the
terror of taxation. People are learn
ing that the blessings of government
cannot be preserved to them unless
they contribute to its support"
Judge John r. McFfe. of Gallup,
told the association that in earlier
days in New Mexico it was the GUS
tom of the large taxpayers to allow
their taxes to go unpaid for years,
and then compromise them, paying
only a small portion. He declared
that the counties where this was the
custom were the counties that now
were showing the lowest percentages
of collections, and that it was the re-
suit of the example OF the large tax
payers in former years.

Col. Ralph e. T~witchell, of Santa
Fe. aroused considerable interest by
asserting that a special effort should
be made to assess and tax the GER
tificates of deposit in the banks of
New Mexico. During the last year,
he said, he had taken from $4,000 to
$4,000 out of the bank and had spent
1t in improving real estate, and that
as a result his valuation had been
increased by the county commission
ers more than $4,000 Had he left
the money in the bank, he stated, it
would not have been taxed, He cited

This, with the many other smaller

their range forces of cattlemen and
cowboys to the Roundup here every
year.
The Annual Cowboys Round Up
brings a rejuvenation of the pioneer
days when the stirring events of

They come with their mounts of the
widest mustangs, and the highest
pitching broncs. They ride them for
purses, both cowboys and cowgirls.
and they stay above the bad 'uns
while they make streaks in the air
like jagged lightning. They rope
and ride the big sleek steers and
brand the yearlings. They bulldog
the steer, both from horseback and
automobile. They leap from horse
back onto the steers back like a
Mexican lion, and take him by the
horns and throw him down and hold
him fat on earth and to show you, that

be here in its thrilling u and camp
