NEW MEXICO MUST DO
FULL DUTY AT THIS TIME

New Mexico looks to all her sons
and daughters to do their full duty
in this time of stress, when the
greatest nations of the earth are in
volved in gigantic struggle to keep
the barbarians from strangling Ii
berty 1t is a time when all patriot
ic men and loyal women ought to be
so intent upon their severa. duties
that no time would be left to spend
in criticising the work of others. 1t
was this condition which the Legis-
lature had in mind in preparing the
Public Defense bill. which was de-
signed to aid the individual. the
state, the nation and the allied pow
ers in every way practicable; that
was in the governors mind and
heart when he created the Council
of Defense to relieve him of the
major part of the detail: that the
members of the council kept steadily
in view in building the plans which
they are working night and day to
Put into effect, so that in this state
and in al. the countries of the allies
no one shall be without food.
Here is a big fact which ought to
be borne constantly in mind while
the legislature appropriated $750O00,
only the sum of $4,000 will be avail
able for use before the end of the
season for planting. Furthermore,
the total amount available and the
total amount appropriated must be
stretched to include ali the reeds

takes in the heavy cost of recruit

How to spend the money available

planning to increase the acreage in

OFFICERS MUST ASSIST
WITH THEREClSTRATION.

The following taken from the Re
gistration Regulations, Bureau o
The Provost Marshal General, ar,
matters that should be given atten
tion of all Peace Officers of tn,
State.
Section 3. THE LAW AUTHORI.
ZING USE OF FEDERAL, STATE
COUNTY, AND MUNICIPAL OF.
FICERS.-
1t will be found by these regula
tions, which contain the Presidents
directions to officers of the Nation
and of the States, counties, and mu-
inequalities, that the President has
directed specific duties to be per-
formed by certain of such officers
and that he has authorized the
States to employ certain persons as
agencies in the execution of this
act. Since the act prescribes the
penalty of imprisonment with no
alternative of fine) for the failure
or neglect of such officers and
agencies to perform duties so pres
cribed by the President. it behooves
every person charged with duties
herein carefully to study the in
structions in general and in particu-
lar so much of them as pertains to
his own peculiar duties.
Section 4. PROCEDURE IN CASE
OF FAILURE OR REFUSAL.-In
every case in which officers when
called upon refuse to act, the gov
ernor will proceed at once 10 pro-
secute such officers, and will name
other officers if he deems the law
can be executed by such other Of
ficer. If the governor should be of
the opinion that the law can no. be
executed fully. faithfully, and effec-
lively, in any city or county by the
means thus provided. either because
officers have refused to aci or be-
cause, although no refusal has been
indicated the governor has reason
to believe that the law will not be
executed, he will report the case by
telegraph to the Provost Marshal
General without delay.
Section ls.-POLICE OFFICERS.
Police officers of any grade or
class Of town, township. county,
state, or nation are required to rem
der every assistance in the cxecu-
ton of this law. 1t is especially
more the duty OF such police officer
to see that all male persons within
the designated ages have register
ed and to report those who have not
registered to the proper registration
board for such action as may be me-
cessary. Police officers u,ay re-
qure any such person to exhibit his
registration certificate.
Section &l-POLICE DUTIES
On the day set for registration all
police officers of the nation, state,
townships. or towns and
cities shall hold themselves, in resdi-,
ness to render whatever assistanes
may be necessary in preserving or
der at the places of registration ard
m assisting the consummdtion of
he registration.

they develop at Washington. Our
financial strength is being modified
and our political power is being con.
centrated. In the latter course there
may be grave danger if congress
is not careful. The constitution
wisely separated the three branches
of the government, allotting to each
its functions. For the most part
in all the phases of our history
this distinction has been maintained
The congress has made the laws,
the courts have interpreted the
laws, the executive has administered
the laws, now, however, it would ap-
pear that the executive is to exer-
else all three of these functions.
Laws are to be framed at the White
Huose or at one of the Departments,
they are to be passed by congress
without essential change, they are
to interpreted by the President by
proclamation, and they are to be
administered by subordinates whom
he shall name. 1t is a pretty pro-
gramme. But it will comports with
the theory of American institutions
and it runs counter to the presump-
tion upon which the United States
entered the war against Germany.
There are signs that congress and
the country are restless under the
implications which this programme
carries: and it will be a day of good
omen when congress asserts itself
in no selfish manner nor for polite
al advantage, but to the end that the
pOx ernYnenf of which cOnOreSs is a
part shall exercise its
powers as the trainers Of that gov
ernment intended.

UNION COUNTY OBJECTS TO
"BANKABLE NOTE" PLAN.

Clayton, N. NJ, MAY l8, 1917.

Dear Sir:-
We have just read in the Albu-
querque Herald copy of your letter
to financial agents of counties. We
are greatly disappointed. At meet
ing held here the 18th inst, Mr.. T.
H. Hixey, now financial agent for
Union county, stated it as his opin-
ion that you would not lend the
money appropriated by the State
Legislature on anything less than
a "bankable" note, properly Sc
cured He seems to have known
your view.
Please permit us to say that. if
such is to be your plan of administ-
ering the f'Ind provided, the in
tent of the Legislature, in our opin-
ion. will be defeated. If the law
means anything, surely it means as
sistance to farmers unable to as
sist thcmselves-farmers unable to
make "bankable" note to furnish
security satisfactory to bank.
Those who can furnish security do
not need the States assistance; and.
frankly. we believe they are likely
to spurn such Assistance" as your
letter outlines.
Furthermore. we believe you
should have taken into considera-
tion the fact that every farmer
who expends labor and money to
plant a crop CANDLES with nature.
Is It not Just that the State should
assume a part of the risk? Does it
not seem to you that the Legislature
must have intended to "come half
wav." instead of asking the farmer
as patriotic duty to plant un-
usually large crops. and. at the same
time, take all the risk We believe
a farmers note. secured by mort
gage on crop. should contain pro-
vision that the note shall be can
rrl'ed and returned to the maker
IN event Of crop failure not due to
fa"It OF the farmer himself
We trust that it is not too late
for vow t. change this policy in
srch wav as to carry out what we
are confident was the purpose of
the Legislature
We had hoped YOU would devote
a larger amount to the purpose of
;nrreas;ro crop production. and
YOUR setting aside onIv $4,000 adds
to our disappointment
Very truly vours.

AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE
COUCED ON FOODSTUFFS

Washington, May 23.-The Re-

its president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne
Jr., today gave out the following
statement at its Washington Head.
quarters:
The price increases of foodstuffs
consumed at home are unwarrant-
ably greater than the price increa-
ses of foodstuffs exported. If fed
eral control of food supply be-
comes a fact the spectators will
have themselves to blame.
In discussing the question of Gov
ernment food control recently, SEN
ator Gallinger presented a table,
which was printed in the Congress
sional Record. prepared by COM
pany engaged in the general mark
eting of foods. This table enumer-
ated 60 items in the food budget of
the ordinary family, showing the
difference in retail price April, 1914,
and April 1917. The total increase
IN all the items was SIG per cent
the average of the entire list being
1882 per cent The smallest in
crease was rice, IL per cent, the
largest. cabbages, 400 per cent. The
company that prepared this table

head to the minimum, buys in enor-
nous quantities, and plays for quick
turnover and small margin profit.
Il .,is aspeoples s1Dre.
OF the 90 items enumerated,
twelve are specifically mentioned in
the Department of Commerce table
entitled Monthly Average Export
Prices of Principal Domestic Ar
ticles," based on the actual cost. or
the value of articles at the time cf
at the ports from which
shipped, for unit of quantity stated.
The most recent table available is
that for February. 1917.
Selecting the IL items common
to the market table and to the
table, a comparison Of
the price increases shows that the
public is being gouged,
not by the small-profit market. but
by the price-boosting food specu-
Iators. And the increase in over
head charges will by no means ac-
count for the increased oer cent
at which the market is obliged to
sell its goods when compared with
the increased per cent export price.
The following are the IL articles
common to both tables with their
increased per cent selling price,
market and export:

Mr.. Lyons had completed plans for

is around 10000 acres. A large num-
her of these holders hold leases of
grazing lands. They have all the
acreage they can handle on their
own lands and will continue to use
the state land for pasturage.
