1t Is Now Up to the Governor
to See That New Mexico Does
Her Part in the World War

war board will consent to serve as his
clerks. They are not men of that cal
iber. The power they have must be
directory. They are not at Santa Fe
for the stipend of five dollars day
provided by the law. If they leave
and the governor has to hire a clerical
force to take their places, he cannot
get very good men for that sum.
There are few employees of the Morn
ing Journal, and it is an economically
run business plant, who do not draw
considerably more than thirty dollars
O week.
The governor must either get men
who will work for nothing, or he must
find such clerks as will work for five
dollars day and have them super
vised by someone who doesn't have
to depend upon wages for his income.
Probably the best equipped man
for the position is r. c. Reid, the gov
ernors legal adviser and brother OF
the New Mexico attorney for the San
ia Fe road Legal advisers are be-
coming more and more important In
tne dIIaiTS OF IHe Stdte' Mr' heiu
has the fullest confidence of the gov
ernor, he is perfectly honest and
would carefully guard against any
misuse of funds.
Mr. Reid, with a force Of clerks,
could take over ths work of the board
and probably give the required hus-
tie to the furnishing of seed, the put
ting in of crops, securing the required
amount of farm labor, the harvesting
and the marketing Of the crops when
raised. The burden is rather heavy
one, but doubtless under the COVER
ncr's direction. he could success
fully handle tho matter. But the
matter must be handled, handled
now. 1t must be handled by the gov
ernor.

the altar was placed when the Temple had
