SCHOOL SYSTEM
CALLED COSTLY
LEGISLATURE WILL PROBA-
BLY, IGNORE RECOMMEN-
DATIONS EXCEPT FOR
STATE EDUCATIONAL SUR
VEY BY q. s. EXPERTS

It appears that some revolutionary
recommendations will be made by
the State Taxpayers Association to
the legislature. They will probably
ask that the School of Mines al
Socorro be discontinued altogether
and that the SpanishsAmerican Nor
NAL at FL Rito be abolished. The
ground for the first recommenda-
tion according to Mr.. A. E. James,
tax expert and director of the asso-
cation, is that the school does not
educate enough pupils to justify its
expense to the state, and that it is
a fifth wheel in the state educational
system. The students are said not
to be of college standing at the school
which is an additional reason for not
spending money for technical edit
cation there.
The Spanish American Normal is
based upon the idea of race segrega-
ton, theory that should not be
encouraged in New Mexico in the
opinion of Mr. James.
The Normal Schools of the State
should either combine with the town
schools where they are located or
should hold aioof from them, thinks
the taxpayers director. This is be-
cause they could save money either
by paying for only their own ex-
pense, or by dividing expenses with
the local schools,
The taxpayers will also probably
recommend limiting the military
school at Roswell to 200 students
until it can be shown that most of
the students come from New Mexico
and not from outside the state. They
will suggest cutting engineering
courses out at the Agricultural Col
lege and consolidating them at the
State University. The last named
institution is rather favored by the
association on the ground that its
students are practically all are of COL
lege grade, and because the school
is growing rapidly, and policy of
Capitalization in the college sub
jects would give New Mexico one
leading school more than ever fit
to compete with the colleges of
other states.
A survey of the state educational
institutions by United States ex-
perts will probably grow out of these
revolutionary recommendations. Ad-
vice as to how the most efficiency
at the least cost in public money
would be forthcoming as result of
such survey and it is probable that
II will be authorized by this legis-
lature.

THE EXPENSE OF
THE SESSION IS
ABOUT $4,000
80 SAYS SENATOR CLARK
WHO ASKS FOR TRANSFER
FROM TWO FUNDS TO
AUGMENT B A LA NOE
STATE OFFICERS NOT PAID

The legislature will cost the peo-
pie of the state about $4,000 says
Senator John s. Clark, the "time-
lock" of the treasury. He reported
to the senate this week that the
legislative maintenance fund had
only 3l,685 in it the first of this
year. The deficiency is to be re-
medied by transferring from the
state insurance fund and the inte-
rest on public monies fund, some
$4,000 This was provided in a SEN
ate bill introduced by Mr.. Clark
which passed unanimously.
A senate committee including Sem
ators Barth, Clark and Gallegos
was named by the Speaker on mo-
tion of Mr.. Barth to confer with the
house on Senate bill No. 9, which
carries $500 for the expenses of
printing and incidentals for the
session. This bill has pursued a
tortuous course, owing to the fact
that members of the senate led by
Mr.. Clark have been standing pat
on the amount to be spent, while the
house wanted it made more elastic,
having originally recommended the
expenditure of $500. The house
amended the Senate Bill leaving an
opening by which the amount could
be increased. This was to allow
the house committee to order more
supplies at its discretion without
consulting the senate committee. A
compromise will probably be reach
ed.
Up to this time the state officers
are still unpaid. The senate finance
committee has been looking for
fund that could be safely tapped for
this purpose, and At one time were

under the direction of the state en-
gineer. Others would compel the
people OF certain counties to pay
taxes for the building OF
certain roads when it is doubtful if
the roads in question would be the
choice of the people if they voted
on them. In all such cases the bills
will run against the sharpened axe
of the committees, it is asserted.
On the other hand roads that fall
in with the comprehensive state pan,
and roads that are needed and
wanted by the majority of the peo-
pie of any given county. and that are
to be paid for by a county levy will
fare well at the hands of the high
ways committees. {

Democratic vote was polled in the
Third district of Mississippi, where
2,l2S electors were able to send Re-
preventative Humphreys to Con-

Mr.. Osborne's large vote may be
explained in part by the fact that
women vote in California. Mr.. Sic

almost wholly, by the fact that his
district contains a large population
who are unnaturalized.

Clay Center, Kas., Aug, 11-Form- CT President William H. Taft, who has been i'll here since Monday apparently passed a good night. His physician pr. Morgan. said early today that al- though he had not seen Mr. Taft, he had left orders with the nurse that he be notified at once if he did not rest during the night and as he had not been called he believed his patient was resting easily and he would not dis turb him.
 The former president was on a speaking tour when he was stricken with an intestinal disorder. From that time until yesterday he took no nourishment, the lack of food az gravating his condition, according to Dr. Morgan. Although the egg and toast taken yesterday was not reltshed, 1t was said to have strength ened him considerably, and further nourishment was expected to be given today. With the exception of his wife, who Is in Canada, MT. Taft has not notined any of his relatives of his illness saying that he "did not want to worry them, and he would be about in a few days anyway"
