ed in war emergency certificates O
Indebtedness by State Treasurer Hail
and that amount made available fol
use by the state dlsbursing officer IL
the purchase of seed and ~provende,
for New Mexico farmers. As the Ger
t~ificates have not yet been printed
the investment Is in the nature Of a,
advance, In order that there may be
no further delay in providing emer
gency funds, and as soon as the Ger
tificates are ready they will be taken
over by the state.
IN addition to the I. o. us pur.
chased by the state, certificates to
the amount of 100000 will be sold al
this time, but these latter will be duly
advertised in New York, Chicago and
Santa Fe, and will be sold to the high
est bidder. In the event more funds
than provided by the states purchase
are needed before the additional $780,.
900 worth of certificates are sold, ar
engagements for securing the money
probably will be made through local
banks. .
The bill ap~propriating $750.000 for
war emergency expenses authorized
the state treasurer to invest perma-
nent state funds in the 6 per cent GER
tificates. AT the present time $685.
900 of permanent funds is on time de-
post in various banks, and approx
mately $125,000 is available for imme-

STOP BORROWING, IS
JAMES ADVICE, IN
WAR EMERGENCY
COUNTIES, MUNICIPALITIES AND
SCHOOL DISTRICTS URGED TO
SHOW PATRIOTISM AND BuSl-
NESS JUDGMENT BY REFRAIN
ING

In the opinion OF A. Il. James, di
rector of the Taxpayers association
counties, municipalities and school
districts can show both patriotism
and good business judgment by re
framing from borrowing during the
present crisis. This opinion is ex'
pressed in an article on County and
Municipal Finance During the War;
which has been written by Mr.. James
fol the forthcoming issue of the Tas
Review. After calling attention to
the fact that the new federal bond
issue doubles the entire debt of the
Uni-ed States, national, state, county
and municipal, and that the inevitable
result Of this and any future war loan
will be a big advance in interest
rates, MFR. James says:
There is just SO much capital in
the country awaiting Investment. A
great increase in the demand 1t will
inevitably raise the price. If the gov
eminent itself is forced to a 5 per
cent basis the states and localities
will find the money market prac.
tically closed to them. Furthermore,
whatever they borrow absorbs Just 50
much of the available capital and
raises the price just SO much for the
United States. Fifty thousand dol
lars for a single district may seem a
small sum in these days Of billions,
but 10000 districts borrowing repre-
sent $780, 0 $1,000, a very respectable
sum. Moreover, the railroads, the fac
tories and other Industrial corpora
tions must borrow large sums to meet
the war pressure--to help conduct the
/. war and bring it to a successful con
clusion. To postpone municipal Dor
rowing, therefore, wherever possible,
is not only good municipal finance, il
is also the highest form of patriot
ism, 5ls
There Is still another side to the
picture. After the war the immense
sums borrowed will be rapidly repaid
If the present federal policy of heavy
taxation is adhered to, and the habit

Young Man Shot By
Himself or Robber?

Roswell, IN. NJ, May 16.-Ed Ham.
ilton, a young man of this city, re-
ceived a bullet wound in the left arm
near the shoulder. The bullet came
from a .25 automatic and entered the
arm just below the shoulder, striking
the bone and ranging downward. The
wound, while very painful, is not con
sidered serious: Just how the shoot
ing came about is a mystery. Ham.
'ilton claims that he was shot by a
robber, but the local authorities who
have investigated The matter believe
he shot himself accidentally.
