the payment of this large sum in the
form of taxes to the government should
not impair business because much of the
money will go back to the people. That

Of any special benefit to general industry.
The wise adjustment Of the revenue law

REFERENDUM ON ANTI
 GAMBLING BILL INVOKED

Concerted action is being carried forward throughout the state to pre- vent the anti-gambling bill, passed at the last legislature, from going into effect June 6, or upon the expiration of the 90-day limit.
 The first of series of referendum petitions, directed against this bill known as. senate bill No. 57, was filed with Secretary of State Sidney Osborn at the state house yesterday. More than 500 names were affixed to this pc tition.
 To prevent bill from becoming a law upon the expiration of the 90-day limit, however, it is necessary that these referendum petitions contain the names of at least five per cent of the voters voting at the last general cleo tion. It will therefore be necessary to secure at least i,195 signatures to the petitions.
 It was announced yesterday that sev- eral other petitions are now in circula- tion and will be filed with the secre- tary of state as soon as they are com pleted Those directing the movement have stated that no trouble is being experienced in securing signatures for the petitions.

CAPT. GREEN WAY ID CONSULT WITH
 ROOSEVELT

Leaving for New York where he will confer with Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, Captain John c. Greenway, of Warren, and general manager of the C. x A. company, expects that the former president will be given the proper authority to raise troops for service in France. Captain Greenway was joined at Osborn, yesterday morn ing by Major Frederick R. Burnham, one of Roosevelt's close friends and advisers.
 Captain Greenway is one of the most enthusiastic of the many supporters of Roosevelt's plan to raise an army for service in France. It has been said that the former colonel of the Rough Riders intends to make the Warren man colonel in command of a regi- ment which he hopes to raise in Ari- zona and New Mexico, in case the ad- ministration grants permission for the organization of the unit.
 | Major Burnham with whom Cap tain Greenway went to New York, has been a figure of considerable promi- hence in several wars. While in the ! Klondike, just before and at the be- {; ginning of the Boer war, Lord Rob- erts, in command of the British troops in Africa, sent for him and made him chief of his scouts. He served under the English flag in that capacity until the end of the conflict. In recogni- tion of his services the British govern ment presented him with a fine ranch in Africa.
 ! It was on this property that he met Colonel Roosevelt, during the Ameri- cans we'll remembered hunting trip in that land. The former president spent some time on Major Burnham's ranch and the two became fast friends Later Major Burnham returned to the
 United States and has been living in California. When the Roosevelt unit
 was first spoken of he started out for recruits for one of it's branches and has visited Arizona several times in the last few months in that connection

Albuquerque, N. M., May 15-In or der that farmers in the mountain re gions of the state may take advantage of the expert knowledge of agricul- ture and home economies disseminat- ed by the New Mexico College of Az riculture and Mechanic Arts, District Forester Redington has entered into an informal agreement with the Cok lege, whereby the entire Forest Ser vice field force in New Mexico will assist in the distribution of the Col lege publications.

ASHURST ATTACKS
 CENSORSHIP BILL

Washington, May 9-Some part of the parliamentary difficulties in the path of the administration espionage bill with it's press censorship and em- bargo provisions were cleared away in the senate today but efforts to ob- tain a unanimous consent agreement to vote fully on the measure Satur- day failed after a long wrangle.
 The general prediction tonight was that the senate would not make use of it's new cloture rule, as suggested by some senators, to limit debate on the bill. Senator Williams circulated a petition to invoke the rule in exc cutive session yesterday but leaders in charge of the measure, voted on the suggestion and it was predicted that the petition never will be brought for mally to the. senate's attention.
 Senators Vardaman and Ashurst took most of the time in debate today attacking the censorship section.

COURT SAYS q |S GAM PBELL'S
 MAJORITY

The majority of Thomas E. Camp bell over G. w. P. Hunt for governor was 67, as was determined by Judge Stanford, who signed the findings in the contest case this week. The exact majority for Campbell was not deter mined until then. In rendering the judgment week ago, the court an- nounced, that certain votes would be counted for Campbell, and certain for Hunt. Just how many there were in these classes passed upon by the court was not definitely known until yes terday.
 Chairman Maddock of the repub- lican state. committee had figured that the majority for Campbell would be 69. Among the ballots on which this estimate was based there were three in which the cross had been placed before instead of after the name of Campbell and they were thrown out under a former ruling by the court. But another ballot which had not been counted for Campbell, under another ruling was counted for him, bringing the total to 67.

 up to the supreme court all the ex- hibits, the transcript of evidence and all other matters of record. There are more than 1,SOO exhibits consisting chiefly of ballots. There are also tally sheets and plats of buildings in which elections were held. There are $500 typewriter pages of the transcript. It will take not less than sixty days to prepare the record.

 will have to be put into a narrative form and the exhibits will have to be classified so as to be brought con- veniently before the court though ref erence will be had to individual bal
 lots as exhibits in the course of the hearing.

 has an equal and a rather more ur- gent reason for desiring an early dis position of the case. The salary of Governor Campbell cannot be paid un- til a judgment has been handed down l by the supreme court, now that the appeal has been taken.
 The filing of the appeal followed a denial by Judge Stanford yesterday of
 the exception of MT. Struckmeyer the day before, to the bill of the contestee for the cost of inspection of the ballots
 The amount of the bill was $5,017.35.
 In the course of the arguments on the
 exceptions on Monday Judge Stanford indicated that he would overrule them and stated that in frequent conversa- tions with the attorneys, especially with Senator Ives, the latter had ac- ceded to suggestions for increasing the bond of the contestant for inspec- tion costs The court did not recall at the time that there was anything further than conversations On that sub ject but he found that it was also a matter of record.

NATIONAL FORESTS
 ID BE USED FOR CROPS

Albuquerque, N. M, May 12-The forest service has just finished con- piling list of all unused land, gov ernment and private, in the national forests of Arizona and New Mexico capable of being successfully farmed. Although the great bulk of these lands is already in private ownership, there still remain areas of unused govern ment land of agricultural value. For est officers are taking particular pains to point out their location to prospec- tive users and will also undoubtedly in many cases be able to put inquirers in touch with the owners of vacant private lands. To hasten the utiliza- tion of such government lands as still remain unused, any persons or organi- cations interested in the matter are urged by District Forester Redington to get into immediate touch with the local forest supervisors or rangers. The supervisors are in a position to grant permits without delay under lib eTal terms.
 Where tracts of agricultural land have been restored to entry, but never flied upon, every effort is being made to get farmers to go onto them and put in crops this spring. ----.

 BEGUN

The federal bureau of mines has called upon the mining industry of the state to enroll for the possible demand upon the technical men of the country for service in varied ca. racities.
 Cards have been sent out to the mining companies throughout the United States with the request tat they have their technical men fill out and the company return the cards to the bureau.
 The call is sent by Van H. Man. ming, director of the bureau of mines, brother of Gen. L. H. Man ming, and countersigned by President Philip N. Moore, president of the American Institute of Mining Engi- neers. It follows in full:
 Census of Mining Engineers
 ITO American Mining Engineers:
 By request of the council of na- tional defense, the bureau of mines, in cooperation with the American Institute of Mining Engineers, will prepare classified list Of the min ing engineers and metallurgists of the United States. Data covering the qualifications, experience and skill of each engineer are desired to deter mine the line of duty in which he can best serve the country in time of need.
 European experience has shown that nothing is more important in time of national emergency than knowledge of the qualifications and experience of expert technical men. It is, therefore, important, especially at present, that this information be available in the United States. You are accordingly requested as patriotic duty not only to fill out the card which you will receive here with, but to see that every engineer and metallurgist within your ac- quaintance receives one and does ] likewise. Additional cards will be ! furnished upon request. You will please check only those subjects in which you are expert, especially Imetallurgical experience. Please re- turn the card promptly, using the inclosed penalty envelope. The in- formation received will be carefully classified, carded and indexed. Your prompt response to this matter will be very much appreciated"

tional Child Labor Committee, that the place for the children is in their homes, that they can help much better there in school and home gardens un- der supervision, and that the farmers are the last people who want an army of inefficient, inexperienced laborers on their lands. The grange officers show a clear knowledge of the fact that child labor is the most unskilled and uneconomical labor there is. I hope no one will be so foolish as to attempt to send children to the farms in any district without first seeing that the farmers want them and that they are to be properly safeguarded and supervised. We have issued a suggestion for using children in school and home gardens which we shall be glad to mail to anyone interested Copies of this plan may be obtained on application to the National Child Labor Committee, 106 22nd Street, New York City.
