NEGROES ASK FOR GER
MAN AFRICAN COLONIES;
FORM DEMOCRACY

~, l(continued From Page one.l
by recognizing the right of the race to
self-goyernment under the "self-de-
termination clause of President VIII
sons peace terms.
The memorial points out that the
transfer of the German colonies in
Africa to the control of other nations
would retard the progress of the ne
gro race, whereas the application of
the self-determnation principle would
result in the advancement of the race.
There is a general plan, which con-
templates an agreement among the
belliSerents, to set aside not only the
African colonies under previous Ger
man rule, but also those now gov
erned by the French and Portuguese,
and also the independent African
states, and to make of these lands
an African union, for the reorganization
of a government by native negroes
and by the negroes who may elect to
emigrate and attach themselves to the
proposed democracy.
One point the memorial emphasizes
is that if German Africa were taken

discrimination to the city taxpayer, /
wish to urge as the possible remedies
the following in the order of their
relative Importance:
q. The establishment Of city and
coNty of Albuquerque, the boundaries
of which would be fixed by the state
legislature giving the new county all
the powers now vested in the present
county of Bernalillo.
.. Readjustment of the laws by the
legislature, giving the city permission
to assess, collect and handle its own
taxes, but contribute its proportional
share to the county to maintain that
organization. This legislation would
include a readjustment of the follow
ing:
CAY The law limiting the three mill
levy for general fund purposes must
be repealed at the next Legislature;
otherwise, do not see how it is posi-
BILE for this city to operate.
OBJ The city to assess and collect it's
own taxes, thus retaining the per
cent collection charge.
duced and city levies raised. A more
equitable distribution of school moneys
is necessary and this distribution
should've based on valuation and not
6G.1 per cent and 33.9 per cent as it
is now based.
I'D Equalization of valuations of

i,p oh A I,. >
city valuations are comparatively
higher than county valuations.
(e) More equitable distribution of
automobile tax is necessary.
dl More equitable distribution of
road tax.
(g) Equitable distribution of federal
MD money.
(h) A law limiting the amount that
the county can levy on city property
for county purposes.
From the financial point of view,
speaking in the interests of the city
of Albuquerque, il is absolutely appar-
ent that this city must bring about the
above mentioned conditions or else de-
tach itself from the county of Berna-
lilo and establish itself into the city
and county Of Albuquerque. There may
be great many objections to this ac-
ton, which am not attempting to an
alyze in this memorandum, but / do
repeat that an equitable distribution
of the taxes now levied would alleviate
the strained condition of the city's fl
nances and make it unnecessary for
the taxpayers in this city 10 face a
greatly increased tax rate during the
next ten years.
Those who desire to see n more
comprehensive report on this subject
can do so by calling at my office.

ant loss to the city due TO miscella-
neous county revenue is but $50, there
fore the loss to the city OF $92,-

Benefits 10 City.
TO analyZe the benefits the city de-

summarized as follows: ..
4. The city's share Of the cost to
maintain the county court house.
9 The city's share OF the cost to

9. The citys share Of the collection
charge for assessing and collecting OF

Assuming that the total cost Of the

Memorandum to the Citizens OF Albu-
queTque:
have just completed compre-
hensive study Of the tax situation as
affecting the city taxpayer, which
study shows the final disposition Of
tine taxes.
In this study | have not tried to
analy2e the benefits which the various
functions OF city, state, county, county
schools and city schools receive from
money spent by each other.
The city of Albuquerque, with ref
erence to the surrounding territory,
is in a very peculiar and unusual sit
nation. This situation is brought
about by the fact that the growth of
the city of Albuquerque has come
from within and not from without, rs
is the usual condition in other cities,
It's growth has been due to the fact
that Albuquerque is a health resort,

NO REDUCTION IN
 ROAD MEMS PAY No Material Lowering of Freight and Passenger Rates Will Result
 From Peace

Washington, November 13.-The rail- road administration plans no reduction lin railroad employees wages under peace conditions, and likewise no ma terial lowering of freight and passenger rates, it was stated authoritatively to- day Both are likely to remain at their present levels, although with many re- adjustments, during the period of changing the nation from war to peace.
 Even with recent advaces, railroad wages now are not as high as those paid for similar service in war indus tries, it was declared, and consequent ly railroad administration officials feel that there is no war bonus to be taken off the wages of rail employees Events of the past week have caused pro- nounced movement of men from war industries to the railroads, where they are insured greater permanency of em- ployment, officials said
 Director General McAdoo has declared that he would lower rates as soon as it was determined revenues would be suf- fcient to pay wage increases and the higher cost of materials, supplies and other transportation clements It was explained today, however, that the time when this would be possible is not yet in sight.

AMERICAN ARMY MARKING TIME
 TILL NEXT MOVE

With the American Army at the Front. November 13.-The American army is marking time until orders come from Marshal Fock for the next move. The roads near the front are Filled With the panoply of the war that has ended. The soldiers are Won~ dering when they will get home. All day yesterday there was large numher of explosions behind the Ger man lines, indicating that the enemy
 was blowing up ammunition dumps. Very few German soldiers were seen
 along the front line, giving rise to the
 belfef that plans already are under way for the retirement back to their own border
 It is not probable that the Germans were destroying ammunition dumps after the signing of the armistice
 terms, Because of the congested cables
 It is probable that portions of this
 dispatch were written November Il, and in some unaccountable manner
 were delivered with and as a part of dispatches filed today.)
 The German command will have difficult task, it is believed, to &C., complish this in time because since the Americans have cut the Mezieres- Longuyon line at Sedan, the Germans have only one main line over which to return to Germany. This line runs through Liege.
 The terms of the armistice forbid American airplanes from going over the German lines in as much as no prisoners are being taken it is vlr- tually impossible to get any inforrna- ton as to the movements of the Ger man army.
 The hours since 1.-the cessation of hos t1lities have wrought a wonderful change on the front. Silence has re- placed the roar of cannon and the rattle of machine guns. Ambulances are parked along the roads instead of bowling along on errands of mercy The marching columns of troops go- ing into battle have been replaced py laughing groups of American and French soldiers rejoicing over the sue cess of the great efforts. Every one seems to take it for granted that the war' cannot start going again.
 Only one thing goes on as it did be- fore--the work of German prisoners By thousands they are repairing the damage German guns and mines havo done to the roads of France.
 The celebrations over the signing of the armistice in the towns in this part of France continue with unabated joy. From somewhere the inhabitants have dug up the street lights, dark for four years. and with the dust wiped off the lights blaze again in every hamlet.
