THE POLITICAL GOAT

The war has ended and left several very important questions relative to development of western oil and water power industry hanging in the air.
 Even eighteen months of war crisis was not enough to jar our national legislators into final action on these subjects which have already been pending for years. ;
 A few socialistically inclined gen tiemeu have been able to block de- velopment of these industries on gov ernment reserves and thereby har- ass and inconvenience thousands of industries and millions oc people all for simply to play politics and try to- force a soc1alistic ex- pertinent on the pablic.
 The net result of this dog in tho manager policy has been an unpresce- dented fuel and,power shortage, dis couragement of industry, an incon- veienced public, millions of barrels of oil wasting in the ground, thou sands, of acres of oil land that no hand has been allowed to prospect on, and untold millions of horsepower wasting merrily at sea-and all for what-to cary on socalled conserva- tion theories at expense of the great western country.
 Such policy is a shame and a dis grace and an insult to the intelligence of the American people.
 Now that the war is over without action on this matter are those in dustries to again be made the political goat for another period of years?

SERVANTS OR D1cTAToRs, WHICH?

The pot is beginning to boil
 The public is awakening to the fact that the extraordinary powers 1t granted public officials as war measures are scheduled to be- come peace measures.
 The average citizen thought when the railroads were taken over for the period of the war and not to exceed 21 months thereafter
 He thought the telegraph and telephone lines were taken over for the duration of the war, also the express companies.
 As war measure he has submitted to all kinds of inconvenience and increased rates which he would never have accepted in peace times.
 Now that the war is over he is somewhat surprised to have it calmly announced that the telegraph and express companies and tele- phone system which have been nominally un- der government control war measures are to be consolidated and operated by the govern ment under tighter rein than during the war.
 There is no longer any thought whatever of accommodating the public.
 Autocratic power granted officials war measures apparently is to be taken advantage of and saddled on the people as peace mea- sures with wider scope than ever.
 Again we say as war measures every citi- zen Cneerluuy dccepIcu every llCohFOIiOhSC.N But the men who were given this taste of power seem bent on continuing and increas- ing 1t in peace times.
 Since 1776 the American people have felt entirely able to think, act and look after them lpaid public servants if you please), not to dictate to them what they could and could not do, but to carry out the wishes of the people of this nation. .:.....i
 Apparently this rule is to be reversed and the "paid servants are to become the ''paid dictators" and the people calmly asked to acquisce without complaint or explanation.
 Again we say as war measure this was o. R., as peace measure it IS un-American.
 It will wind up by depriving the states of millions of dollars of tax revenue under the governmental ownership program and is entering wedge for breaking down the American spirit of individual initiative and enterprise and turning the nation over to offcialism and socialistic rule.

MT. Kin, task is to handle the shipment of tL:. 15,000 m,.l at ,:a:np Cody as expeditiously as possible. The fact that similar steps are being taken in every cantonment in the United States means shortage of equip. ment, which makes the situation a very difficult one to handle.

Consolidation of the 15,000 men stationed at Camp Cody, Deming. New Mexico, is the task that :. confronts 'Garnett King. chairman of the pas senger traffic committee of Fl Paso, and his assistants. MT. King stated yesterday that he had received tele- graphic instructions from the Chica. go office of the regional director. en. trusting this work to the local com. mittee. The plans of the government. ac. cording to Mir. King. include the mus tering out of the soldiers at camp, SC that when they leave they will no longer be soldiers of the United States. They will be paid of. and their transportation furnished to any place they may wish to go.
 .s No Special Trains
 . This means that the problem of transportation will be greatly compli cated, as they will not be moved as a single body of men en route to a single point, but as so many indi. viduals, each bound for his own desti. nation. No special trains will be pro. vided, and the men must be acco1no. dated on regular trains.
 The first detachment to be muster. ed out, acording to MT. King, will be about 2,200, who will be shipped out at the rate of 500 a day. Each man must be furnished separate transpor tation, and to handle this work, MT King said that he would probably send about six ticket agents from Fl Paso to Deming.
 To Handle 15,ooo Men
 Richard Warren in charge of the city freight department left yesterday morning for Deming to look over the situation.

LEGISLATIVE REFORMS

The people are demanding a higher stan dard of service in the state legislature if that branch of the government is to enjoy respect
 By the system known as direct legislation the people showed that they distrusted legis- latures as such, but that system has not worked we'll
 The people have right to demand great CT efficiency and less waste by legislatures less lost motion and less rash enactment of laws
 Before legislature takes up and enacts new law imposing a tax or creating burdens affecting all the people such law should be asked for by some one besides those interested in putting it over.
 The old order of business, petitions and remonstrances" that established as regular feature of legislative business should be revived and no law passed until petitions for it are on file.
 Americans should also rise above the petty practices of nepotism that manifests it. self in taking members of their families to the state capitol and getting them fat sine cures during the session.
 If this is to be a country with opportunity for all alike to get to the front, in peace times as we'll as war, and if politically we are all created free and equal, let our legislatures set a new pace.

THE EFFICIENT ORGANIZATION

An example of how great organi- zation is made effective by the firm stand of the man at the helm is ound in the work of President Kos ter of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce.
 His practical and courageous way of thinking has made it's impression for sound business conditions in the affairs of the state and has been felt by all the states the west.
 He'd emands that prominent and active business men go to the bat and play fair ball with capital and labor, never losing sight of the fact that without adherence to law and order society goes into chaos.
 In recent statement he hit the nail on the head: 50 many men who might make themselves worth while influences fail to realize their own obligation. They are prone to look upon commercial organizations as things apart from themselves"
 '"They entirely overlook the fact that those who give themselves up for service in and through such or ganizations are ordinary human be- ings like. themselves
 Such organizations are instru- ments of value only to the degree that they represent the affirmative attitude and influence of the individu- als who compose them"
 The fact remains that only under good leadership does the organiza- tion become a power and contribute to the enlightenment of the con- munity upon matters of general practical advantage.
 No greater influence was ever ere ated to hold community tendencies to a true American course than the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce under Frederick J. Roster and his associates.

SURVEY SOON

That farm survey is advisable at
this time goes without saying. Such
q survey will mean that a pretty ac-
curate estimate will result regarding
the labor needs Of the nation, the
livestock wanted or for sale, the crop
acreages and other facts which will
bear upon a campaign for increased
production during the season Of 1918.
The government is urging every pos
sible effort on the part Of the farm
er to meet this emergency by produc-
ing the largest crop Of corn, Of wheat
Of pork and beef that has ever been
produced in the history Of the Union.
II is readily recognizable that help
for the farmer cannot be given sys-
tematically without pretty definite
knowledge of the conditions existing.
Much complaint has been made al
ready to the effect that the govern
ment has made many regulations
without, at the same time, regulating
other things Of vital interest to the
producer. 1t is reasonable to argue
that much better chance of get
ting what is needed to the producer
