FOREST RESERVES LOCAL DRAWBACK

A citizen Of Otero county in a letter in
last weeks issue of the Cloudcrofter in which
he discusses certain phases of the public and
state land questions and affirms his opposition
to the addition of lands to the forest reserves
gives some very pertinent reasons why state
ownership and management is better for the
state, the community and the individual than
government ownership and forest reserve
management.
The part of his article which refers to
this matter is as follows:
"First: The state land will sooner or
later passed into individual hands and became
taxable and help to bear the burden of taxa
ton. The timber, as well as the land, being
taxable, and the nature Of the land to repro
ducc timber making it a continual taxable as
set to the county, whereas, if it passes into
the hands OF the forest service, it forever re-
mains untaNable.

In his snual address, the President,
voiced the olion that "the thorough indust-

tional and indurial education, a bill for the
promotion of Vich is now pending in the
House of Representatives.. Industrial pre-
paration" does iced depend on industrial
education" but noexactly along the lines that
Mr.. Wilson had i,mind. What we need ia
be taught is how " may continue to exist

been eliminated by t, close of the war which,
creates an artificial ,mand and after it has

THE WILSON IDEA CT COMPROMISE

Champ Clark opened Congress with a
thump of the gavel and a published interview
declaring that this was to be a working winter
for representatives and that there would be
no long holiday recess, as a practical demon
%stration of democratic devotion to public bust
ness. Floor Leader Kitchin informed the
newspapers that the Christmas recess would
take place about as usual. Speaker Clark
then inti1nated that there might be a co1npro-
mise on the subject. There was. Congress
recessed on Friday, December p. to recon-
vene Tuesday. January 2-the recess being
of custcn'erv length. Brit we have a new
demonstration of what constitutes a con1pro-
mise the President has all along been making

with Germany in the submarine issue and the
same kind he made with the railroad Brother

COUNTRY PEOPLE MUCH BETTER OFF

If prices of provisions keep on climbing
as they have been doing during the past year
the effect should be a great stimulus to the
back to the farm movement of which we
have heard SO much in the past decade.
Common sense and observation should
teach any mas that one of the main causes
Of the high prices of food stuffs is the grow
ing scarcity of farm labor and the consequent
curtailment, in many places, of acreage Gull
tivated. Thousands of farmers all over this
country, unable to secure adequate help, are
gradually decreasing their operations until it
is no uncommon sight to see a farm, which
formerly produced from five hundred to a
thousand bushels Of corn for sale, now hardly
producing enough to feed the stock and fatten
the pork.
OF course we all know that a gang Of
unnrincipalc1 blood suckers have seized upon
the war as IN excuse for boosting the price
II every thing that we consume, but if a scar
,ity Of production did not exist the foreign
demand for foodstufls would be met and
tcrc worjd still remain in this country a suf-
licient quantity to supply all home demands
ut reasonable prices.
Just why Young men and older ones, too,
should wish to leave the farms and rush off
tp the over crowded cities is not easy to un-
dcrstand. True, they work hard on the farm.
Md, equally true, they work even harder in
the city and save less. In a majority of cases,
'nlcss they are intellectually far above the
average of mankind, they live in penury and
die in want.
With the present demand for farm pro-
ducts it would certainly appear the height Of
folly to abandon the certainty of plenty on the
arm for the precautions life of the average
lily dwe''er,
A New York writer gives as a reason
Tor men leaving the farm that they dread be-
ing known as Country lakes" That writ
cr IS a iackass and his statement is a Joke.
With the present means Of communication
etWccn town and country it is difficult in
these davs to distinguish the town man from
the country man. If anything the country

ton, @entilitv,. and ability than his CITY

IT was WITH ftlllcI lCdl dIIlS dlu ihi'u
ton that Carranza's treacherous following
slew our soldiers who had marched into one
Of their villages to procure food and water
with money in their hands to pay for their
wants.
1t was with a following armed with Am
erican guns that Carranza forbade our sol
diers to use the railroads to haul their supplies
while they were hunting Villa.
Any man may make a bad mistake once
and be excused. But not twice in succession.
If the embargo is lifted it will simply
mean more anarchy, more robbery and murder
of Mexicans as well as Americans.
1t is notorious that Carranza's ill-paid
and hall fed soldiers desert in companies to
Villa whenever they have a chance. And they
take with them their weapons and their am
.munition.
A few weeks ago Villa was a fugitive,
with not two hundred men at his command.
Today Villa has an army Of several
thousands.
\ few weeks ago Villa had no amnuni-
ton and no artillery and bat a handful Of
rifles.
To-Day he has artillery, ammunition and

ALFALFA MILL TO LOCATE
SOUTHWEST OF TOWN

Two acres of land west OF the Sc
curity Mills between the Santa Fe
and Union Pacific railroad tracks
owned by S. G. Reed, have been Sc
lected by engineers as the place for
the location of the new alfalfa mill
to be built here. Representatives of
the company have been busy exam
lining titles and it is probable that
that site will be bought. There is
some confusion over the price to be
paid, however, as one or two enter
prising real estate dealers of the
city got busy when they heard of
the proposed mill and got options
on all the available sites
The city is furnishing only the
site for the mill and as soon as the
deal is made a committee appointed
by President H. w. Rohrer, of the
Abilene club will circulate a sub
scription paper among the business
men. 1t is thought that the money
can be raised in a short time.

W.T. 7 " WHINHOEHS HEAI ] TlE
ACTORS BADLY WHEN Sue
CESS DEPENDS ON THEM?N
BY James William Fitzpatrick, Inter-
national President White Rats
Actors Union.
The question naturally arises in
the minds of those who have been
following this series of articles on
the way the vaudeville business is
run and who read yesterdays ac-
count of the frying out" process
through which every act must pass,
why do the managers treat actors
so badly when their business depends
on them? Why don't they encour-
age new ideas and the presentation
of them instead of trying to kill the
spirit of the men who have put their
brains and money into new acts?"
The answer is easy and true.
The one ambition of the heads of
the Vaudeville Trust is expressed in
the remark of one of them: ct don't
do to let actors get too much money.
1t makes them too independent" So
the managers who have already
characterized you, the patrons of
their theaters, as the always igno-
rant public in a published answer to
me when 1 asked eight months ago
for a conference to discuss abuses in
the business, don't give a hang about
you. They don't care whether you
see the same old acts year in and
year out. They don't care how badly
you want novelties and new turns.
You are no menace to them in their
greedy security. You are the always
ignorant public and they don't care
whether you like it or not.
The actor is the one to be crush
ed. If he gets prosperous, as some
times he does despite the managers,
he will not stand for the graft that
stinks in the high places and the low
places and all through the fabric of
the vaudeville business; graft which
to quote the same trust head ''has
grown so big that we had to get in
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1917-01-30

c4lu oil SAIId OIC vi uOuudyS -dHu
Sundays. In the neighbOrhoods
where the theaters cater to Jewish
patrons and where the holidays are
plentiful the actor is extra-perform-
anced to death.
Even the Jewish actor who ought
to be celebrating has to do so by
playing few extra shows FOR
NOTHING. He will not stand for the
horde of other abuses which will all
be touched upon later, if he has a
few dollars saved. So the managers
say Let's keep him poor. Let's break
his spirit. Let's limit his time of pro-
feSs1Onal life to what Mr. E. F. Albee,
head Of the United Booking Offices,
has said in published interview is
ten years" The fundamental reason
why the managers are fighting the
White Rats Actors Union is because
that union will make the actor what
he should be, at least an even part
ner in business to which he con-
tributes everything and the manager
nothing but the four walls of the the
alter building.
The actor who has Withstood the
frying out" process described yes
terday now comes into close touch
with the first rotten spot and corrup-
ton breeder in the vaudeville BUSH
ness, The Booking Office. About
fifteen years ago a group of man
ayers owning a number of theater
buildings, or having an interest in
them, combined for purposes of eff
cheney in selecting or booking their
shows. They created a market place
where actors could go and peddle
their wares to the men who came
from different sections of the coun-
try to buy. The original idea was
not a bad one but it has worked out
under the men who control it now
into one of the two great abuses Of
the business, the commission graft
and the bad contract. The.managers
paid small booking fee for the priv
lege of doing business in the market
