Assessment

1t is plain that a lot of people
are trying to be careless about
giving in their property to the
Deputy Assessor. There is no
excuse for this. 1t has been
made plain that the Deputy would
be here to list property and his
dates and all know it is up to
them to come and turn in their
property for taxation. You can
neglect this if you want to but
it will mean an increase Of rs
percent in your taxes and the
fault is yours. The assessment
law is not right but we all know
what it is and will have 10 abide
by it whether it suits us or not.
Our new assessor has done his
best to meet the needs Of this
people by appointing their choice
Of men as his deputy, now let US
do our part in cooperating with
him and turn in our property
promptly.

New Lodge Hall

The proposition for the erection
of Lodge Hall, suitable for the
proper accommodation Of the
Fraternal Societies of the town
is up for action in the near future
Prominent Masons have given
assurance that a Masonic Blue
Lodge will be organized here
when a suitable Hall is erected
for their use and it is estimated
that other orders will unite with
them in the support Of a good,
well equipped and modern Lodge
hall with conveniences that lodg-
es in other towns have. It is
devoutly to be wished that this
enterprise will go through. Here
tofore there could be no Masonic
Lodge because there was no hall
and, by the same token, there
could be no hall because there
was no Lodge. Now we are in
line for both Z

inquiring about this country as a

good points of the Mesa as a

A severe shock to this commun-
ity was the news of the death of
Mrs. James w. johnson, at her
home in the Pleasant View neigh
borhood, Tuesday. Mrs. Johnson
had been in usual health until
last week and was seized with
convulsions, last Saturday. Drs.
Self and Plumlee were called and
a grave operation was performed
az a last resort to save her life
but to no avail.
Lizzie Harrison was born at
Fort WORTH, Texas, in the year
1882. She was married, April 9,
1916 to James w. Johnson and
has been a devoted wife and
mother to his small children,
bereft of their own mother some
three years ago. Her death oc-
cured as herein stated Jan. 9th.
at the age of a little over 35
years.
Funeral services were held at
the residence Wednesday, Jan.

Quoted by Rev. Altman, of Solano
lnterment was made at the pri-
vate burying ground on the john
son farm.

Mr.. Johnson is amemper, attend

Critics

1t will be interesting to save a
copy of some of the newspaper
comments on the proposal of
President Wilson to settle the
war and make a stand for World
Peace. Our guess is that the
time will come when those who
have indulged in sarcastic re-
marks and criticisms and declar-
ed it can't be done and it is fool
ish to suggest it will disavow
their utterances and try to for
get they had said it.
1t takes less brains to be a
critic and find fault than for any
other line Of thinking, Thus
many can knock" who could
not take the initiative in any
thing.
Christ was crucifed by a bunch
of critics for teaching the prin-
cipals of World Peace but his
teachings have lived on and gain
ed some headway. Now, when
the greatest and most highly
trained mind in the world today
utters from the exalted position
of Head Of the greatest nation
on earth repetition of the mes
sage of Peace on earth, good
will toward men, F" and offers
the most practical methods ever
conceived for its accomplishment
it is we'll for lesser men to hold
their peace and listen to the voice
of wisdom.

Andres Ebel and Alfredo San
doval were arrested Tuesday on
warrants sworn out by Pablo
Gallegos charging them with i'm
personating officers, demanding
the surrender of a herd Of goats
and other property and threaten
ing his life with a gun and shoot
ing on his premises to intimidate
him.
Under the protection of the
Court, Mr.. Gallegos told a differ
ent story about the horse from
what he told at the muzzle Of a
gun and it appears, on the face
of it that the matter needs furth-
er investigation.

Village Licences

The question of taxing a Village
licence on the Saloons of Roy has
been worrying the city council
for some time. 1t has been set
tied by the following decision in
favor of the town of Springer
Judge Thomas D. Leib of the
eighth judicial district court on
the 10Th of this month rendered
what is one Of the most important
decisions in regard to municipal
affairs decided for years in New
Mexico. In case, ]. W. jenkins
VS.. Village of Springer, ct al In
which was involved the powerOf
a village incorporated under
Chapter 1T of the Session laws
of New Mexico for and year 1909
to impose by ordinance a license
on retail liquor dealers, Judge
Leib decided that the village had
power to impose such a licese.
In the above mentioned case of
]. W. Jenkins, VS.. Village of
Springer, ct al, in which J. w.
Jenking was represented by
Messrs. Champion, Remley and
Phillips, attorneys of Ration and
the Village of Springer by w. R.
Holly, village attorney.
This decision is far reaching
as there are a number of villages
in New Mexico Incorporated un-
der the provisions of said Chap
ter.

Why Not

1t is getting quite common now
for newspapers to take a punch
at and Guggenheimers over their
reputed financial support of the
Villa insurrection in Mexico in
the effort to force Intervention
by Uncle Sam. 1t is hardly fair
to load this crime all onto one
family of plutocrats. There are
a lot of others who would be
guilty of Treason if their aetivi-
ties in the fostering of rebellion
in Mexico was proven. If it is
impossible to punish such crimi-
nails it is at least fortunate that
we have a President and Con-
gress human enough not to fall
for their strenuous and persistent
efforts to force Intervention in
what is not our business.
Why can't these people cut
loose from the U. S. and conquer
Mexico themselves and institute
a feudalism of their own in that
benighted land, 1t would cost
less than their efforts to drag
their prey in under the wings of
the U. S. Millionaire criminals
are far more bold with their
crimes than are common yeggs
but their objects and methods
are no less odious to honest,
persons.

The razorback is fast becoming
extinct in New Mexico. and if
there are still people in the state
who want hogs for speed rather
than pork, they had better get
on the job and get possession of
some of these speed animals be-
fore the club boy drives them all
out Of the state, Believe me,
they are g)ing out fast; faster
than they did in Iowa and Hi
nois and some of the other real
hog states of the Union, and all
because the club boy is on the job
club boys know what pays and are
going to have it, nomatter what
dad says, or what the custom OF
the community has been hereto
fore.
Do you know that two hundred
boys went in for better hogs last
year, and had them, too, and
that this year four hundred boys
are going that one better, and
are going to have fourhundred Of
the best hogs to beobtained any
where.
