A rather remarkable occurrence
happened in congress few days ago,
which has not attracted general notice.
1t was a speech by n Southern man.
Congressman Pou of North Carolina.
in which he eXtOlled and praised the
negro race He alluded TO the fact
that the negroes of the South had sub
Scribed 100000 for Liberty bonds. He
reverted to the days of the Civil war
and said that the people then saw the
negro tested as few people have ever
been tested in the history of the
world"
Congressman Pou then went on TO
deny that there was any possibility Of
disloyalty among the negroes and as
serted that the German propagandists
who had gone among them would fail.
The negro race as rule live in hum
bic homes" said Pou. "As | stand
here now can see all over the South
the vine-cad cabins of this kindly
race. They have their faults, but dis
loyalty is not among them" He said
that from the homes all over the South
the young negro men were answering
to their country's call, Here; we are
ready"

The war department has three or
four times as many men training and
ready TO fly as are needed at the pres
ent time, on account of the lack of air
planes. Congressman Shallenberger Of
Nebraska, a member of the military
committee, explained why it was that
there are so many men anxious for
service in the aviation corps. He said
it was tremendously attractive to
young men. The aviator's service at
the front is vastly different from that
of other men in the army. Infantry
and artillery are in the front of battle.
In the trench and in the mud. and they
have little opportunity to sleep on ac-
tive service. The aviator and those
In charge of the machines are miles in
the rear, sometimes out of the sound
of the big guns. They have their quar-
tiers in which to sleep. 1t is the most
desirable service so far as personal
comfort is concerned of any in the
army"
But ii is not alone the personal com
fort all that is left of romance in war
belongs to aviation. Everybody has
read enough of what war means either
on land or sea under present condi-
lions TO know that the romance is
taken out of it. The cavalry used to
furnish some thrills. and the field ar
tillery as well. Even the infantry at
times, by long marches, climbing
mountains and swift movements strik-
Ing the enemy unawares, occasionally
did things that furnished IA thrill and
a story. In these days there is moth
ing left but service in the air to make
war picturesque or romantic. That is
one reason why so many young men
are attracted to It,

The ways and means committee of
the house Is not going to pass the next
revenue bill with the criticism that
the people interested in taxation have
not been afforded a full opportunity
to be heard. Not only has the
committee granted hearings 20 all
who presented themselves, but 1t has
proceeded without restrictions, partic-
ularly with those who represented i'm
portant interests. year ago when
the revenue bill was passed the ways
and means committee rushed matters,
while the senate committee on finance
gave hearings of a somewhat restrict
ed nature, and many people who were
taxed complained bitterly that they
did not have an opportunity TO show
the inequalities of the revenue legis-
lati0n.

! THE people OF New Mexico are soon

really IS.
have done a good deal Of writing
IN the last Few years. pointing out TO
the people Of the state the evils OF
the constitution which was made for
US when we became a state, because
anyone can see that such a constitu-
ton was never made by the people
themselves. On the contrary ii. was
made by the big interests, and the
bosses who work under them in the
state.
Remarkable for Omissions.
I have repeatedly said, and I now
say IL again. that it is the most re-
markable constitution for what it has
left out that exists in the entire
union
A constitution so extremely short
and with so few provisions in its as
ours should have been supplemented
at the very first opportunity by a lot
OF legislation, TO bring the state any
where near abreast with all other
states.
New Mexico is suffering from the
oppression Of a gang Of political bril-
gands. who have the state in their
control worse than California ever
was in the control Of the old Southern
Pacific railroad political oligarchy.
Because Of this. the state is suffer
ing from several contemplate and
extortionate mOnopolies. such as that
Of freight rates throughout the state
which are excessively high. and the
retail price Of coal, which ranges
from IS to S14 per ton, or more than
twice what IL is really worth. and II
results in the lack of many laws
which other states have. such as a
blue sky law" to control criminal
promoters
Big Interests Evade Taxes.
This condition enables the big in
terests that are exploiting New Mex
leo to eyade their Just taxes. Their
attorneys secured the insertion Of the
Joker in the tonnage tax law of 1873
This same crowd Of exploiters also
secured the passage IN 1912 Of the
state land sales law on 30 years
time, which is resulting in the vast
ing Of the patrimony Of our children.
This is a positive disgrace. Owing to
the joker in the tonnage law, more
than half a billion Give hundred mil

capes all taxation. II this property
was properly taxed, and / mean BY
that simply justly taxed. the state
would owe no debt and the taxes o.
those who do pay taxes could be less
than half what they are now.
Now friends. i say IL TO all you
voters in the best Of faith. the cause
Of our being SO bossed by the big
interests, through their agents. IS
for lack Of a common, ordinary. direct
primary law in the state. The big in
terests have purposely kept US from
having such a law ever since we be-
came a state. The direct primary law
is the only weapon yet known BY
which the people can break up polit-
ical machines.
To Break Machine.
No state has ever succeeded IN
breaking up a political machine until
it secured a direct primary law Dy
which the people on mere petition
can nominate their own candidates
for office, and those candidates fight
out the question. OF who IS to be
chosen as the candidate between them
selves at the primary election
There f. no other subject in New
Mexico that the bosses are 30
much afraid OF as they are Of the
agitation for n direct primary
law. That is the key TO the whole
situation.
Other things help. like prohibition.
etc, but none OF them are effective
save the direct primary Some OF
these bosses claim to be Republicans
which I deny; others claim 10 be Dem
ocrats, but the truth is, they are
neither.
1 ask every voter in the state. who
has the interests of the people al
heart. 10 select from the candidates
now before them. on the respective
tickets, men who are in favor Of a oi-
rect primary. particularly should all
voters ask candidates for the legisla-
tive assembly whether or not they
will favor a modern. progressive. d.
rect primary law II elected Make
every candidate, from top to bottom.
answer that question IN your meet
ings-
Smoke out the agents OF the big in
terests who have been nominated
without your consent as your candi-
dates for office. You viii then stand
some chance OF getting a primary law
at the next session OF our legislature
Without such a promise you viii
stand no chance at all
Remember that New Mexico II
the only state in the union that
does not possess n direct primary
law, and the lack of IL is the cause
of our present political condition
The people had nothing TO do in
the two recent state conventions
with the nomination Of candidates.
In some instances the candidates
Of both parties are tarred with
the same stick, that is, they are
the nominees of the bosses, and
the bosses are the agents OF the
big interests that are wasting the
substance Of the state. and esc1n-
ing their just share Of taxes
These bosses may pretend to be-
