A recent news item from
Phoenix states that Arizona last
year received a total income
from its state lands Of $132, 900,
and that 2, 1853, 900 acres of the
total Of lands granted to that
state by Congress have now been
selected by the state. Without
rejecting in any way on the ad-
ministration Of Arizona's state
land grants it is interesting to
compare the situation in that
state with that of New Mexico's
state lands. In this state prac-
tically the whole Of the II, 000.-
900 acres granted to the state by
Congress, has been selected.
The income of the state lands in
1916, credited to the various
schools and public institutions
was in excess Of $3.50, 600. The
total income of the present year
probably will pass one million
dollars. Not only has New Mex
leo completed selection of its
lands, securing the choicest por.
tons of the public domain by
early selection, but more than
1000. 900 acres Of the total owned
by the state is under some form
of income producing lease.

Large Capital and
Small Profits.

While Lincoln county is known
to have large coal measures Of
workable size and exceptional
quality, it has always been i'm
possible to operate any Of the
coal properties of the county at a
profit for any continued time, a
condition which has frequently
been commented upon and never
understood. 1t is probable that
the recent Investigations as to
the high cost of coal and coal
mining methods will give us the
reason for this failure to operate
coal mines on good coal land. An
Investigation of the selling price
of coal at the mines discloses
the fact that the operating COM
panies receive from a little less
than So a ton up to So. rs for the
screened and washed fancy do
nestle grades, but because of
the fact that the larger tonnage
sold is of the lower priced grades
the average selling price of coal
at the mines, loaded on cars, is
probably not as much as So. IL
per ton, and is more likely not
over flat So, with all market in
creases included for recent in
creased cost of production. When
IL is considered that the produc-
err of the coal must purchase the
coal lands, and the poor coal
measures along with the profit
able, pay taxes on all of it alike,
do all the dead work, pay the
miners, carry the overhead ex-
penses and general management
and load their product on cars
for a little more than So, it is
realized hat the margin of prof
it must be so small that it re-
quires large operations with
large capital to make the coal
mining business profitable. And
with all that, just one accident
will wipe out the profits on many
tons Of coal, which takes the
attraction out of the investment.
Lincoln county should produce
its own coal, however, because
the home market will keep up
several small mines, and 1t will
not be long until it is done.

The doctrine of the square deal
is always Americana is partic-
ularly needed at this time when
Americas forces must all be
united as never before. II is
the doctrine Of the square deal
that is back of the food bill and
proposes to give the farmer a
profitable price for his products
and the consumer a reasonable
price for what he has to buy.
The consumer should be inter-
ested in the farmers prosperity,
and the farmer should be inter-
ested in seeing that the consum-
er is not forced to pay exorbi-
tant prices for the necessities of
life-for many of them cannot
continue long paying such high
prices as now prevail. It Is a
time for all to realize their inter-
dependence and their brother
hood. The most important thing
that America has to do now is to
coordinate all its powers and its
forces, so that It may win the
war with Germany and keep
down any internal troubles while
it is doing so. To do that the
people in all walks of life must
live and they should all be just
as prosperous as wise laws and
unselish sentiment can make
them.

Why We're in War.

Evidence is in the hands of
authorities in Washington that
the Prussian war plan included
making peace with our allies,
obtaining possession Of the
British fleet as part of the peace
arrangement then coming to
America demanding the cost of
the war from the United States
under threat of laying waste our
fields and cities. Military au.
thorities state that had this plan
worked out, or if it should still
develop, 300, 900 German first
line troops could be landed in
America in six weeks. Two
million could be here in three to
six months. That is one reason
why we're in the war.

The million dollar contract
made by Charlie Chaplin is a
striking Illustration of the fact
that the people like to laugh.
Chaplin is an adept in tickling
the risibilities, and people flock
to see his pictures because they
want to laugh. In a similar way
this tendency of human being is
seen every day. The crouch of
the long faced apostle of gloom
gets scant welcome anywhere,
but those who radiate good cheer
generally get the glad hand and
an attentive audience. We can't
all be Charlie Chaplins but we
can be cheerful.

Who Will II Be-What
VIII You Do?

With the actual draft upon us,
there is much speculation as to
who will be the first to go from
our own community. But who
ever it may be, we who remain
should see that they are not for
gotten by the folks back home -
We should ascertain the camps
to which each one is assigned,
and then through a home com
mittee see that each is generously
supplied with magazines, home
papers, comfort bags, CHEEKY
letters, and anything that will
make life more cheerful to them.
No single individual going forth
from this community to fight for
his country should be overlooked,
and all should be shown equal
courtesy and attention. When
the good people of this commun-
ity organize such a committee
The Outlook will be the first to
contribute by furnishing a copy
Of the paper each week to each
soldier who goes from our midst.

EDITOR
NAVAL UNCERTAINTIES

Preparedness, il il has not brought forth an
armada for the United States has had a tendency
to bring forth considerable information regarding
the nagies OF some Of the leading nations of the
world, up TO certain date namely abont the mid
die OF July, 1914, since which time the veil of
secrecy has been closely drawn bout the naval
struction OF foreign nations, especially so by the
beligerents
We are aware OF the contemplated naval building
program of the nations now at war, UP to the date
quoted above. If such program has aeen strictly
adhered to or exceeded, the latter condition more
likely than otherwise, navy department at Wash
Tington knows nothing of II. ii
When the peace OF Europe was broken by the
declaration of war, the United States program of
Tayal construction called for four dreadnoughts and
four battlecruisers for 1917 At that date we had
ia commission and fighting TRIM eight dreadnoughts
and % predreadnoughts but no battle cruisers.
With our program of construction carried out, it
would place our naval strength in very fair posi-
lion as compared with. other navies Of the world,
providing their building program has not been
added. to-. s.
This would be especially so as compared with
Japan, whose naval strength in big fighting ma,
chimes at that date consisted of two dreadnoughts
I3 predreadnoughts and two battlecrusers, with
4 program OF construction framed that would add
9 rdreadnoughts.
It was given out two years ago that Japans
Taval construction program would not be fulfilled
for years, but Japans veil Of naval eonstruc
ton secrecy fell with those of the rest of the nations
that saw war lowering over ALL and It is doubtful
Il this nation will ever know the extent of Japans
any other nations naval construction unless they
become involved in war.
