to understand it. 1t is useless
to think of using infantry along
the southern border of our coun-
try for it's protection.
That protection is needed
ereYry one understands.
In my state of New Mexico
the coal mines furnish the coal
and coke to the great copper
mines and for all of the railroads
near the border.
For 500 miles from the bor-
der back into the states the rail-
roads are entirely in the hands
of Mexicans of Old-Mexico.
Every section hand on every
mile of road from the border to
the state of Kansas, east through
Texas into Louisiana, up into
Colorado and out into California,
is in the hands of Old Mexico
Mexicans, a majority of them
being ex-bandits recently in the
service of one leader or another
in the republic of Mexico.
1t is perfectly easy at any
time to put out of commission
every coal mine. every copper
mine and every railroad by con-
cert of action. 1t is absolutely
impossible, | say to you now, as
everyone knows, for the present
force on the bordera dequately to
protect the people along the bor-
der.
with the establishment of a
force such as these mounted men
selected from that country, know
ing the country, knowing with
whom they are dealing, you can
take your regular army away
from the border and the people
will then form the troops to be
selected among themselves. f"

SENATOR ALBERT B. FALLS AMENDMENT
TO Army BILL
MOST IMPORTANT TO ARIZONA new MEXICO, TEXAS
AFFORDING PROTECTION TO ALL THE BORDER STATES
This Protection Should Haue Been Giuen
From the Very Beginning of the Trouble

Washington, April 80. One of
the latest amendments to the
army bill adopted by the senate
Saturday midnight was one offer
ed by Senator Fall, of New Mex
leo, which provides for the rails
of three or more regiments of
cavalry to be used in protecting
property and citizens along the
southern border of the United
States.
These mounted regiments are
to be volunteers between the
ages Of 18 and As years and the
president is authorized to appoint
officers for the forces out of it's
members who have heretofore
served in the ranger or police
forces of the southern border
states or as peace officers of the
counties or towns.
This amendment which so vital
ly concerns Texas, New Mexico
and Arizona, was adopted by a
vote of So to 25, and was a dis
tinct departure from the gen.
eral tenor of the bill as it pro-
vides for volunteers.
Whether the house, which re-
jected the Roosevelt volunteers
scheme and all other volunteer
proposals, will accept it remains
to be seen. Both Senator Culber-
son and Senator Sheppard and
the senators from New Mexico,
Arizona and California supported
it.
In explaining his purpose in
requesting this border mounted
volunteer soldiery, Senator Fall
said:
"'The purpose of this amend
ment can be of course readily
understood by anyone who cares
