NOT YET TIME TO LET
DOWN FOOD SAVING BARS

Albuquerque, Nov. l2,-"The world
food problem is intensified by the
ending of the War, said M. r. John
ston, Acting Federal Food Admins
traitor for New Mexico, today.
"Not only must America continue
to feed its soldiers at home and
overseas and Allies, but America must
also help to supply food to Belgium,
Northern France, Southern Europe
and Russia. Though some shipping
will be released to draw wheat from
India, Argentine and Australia. it is
certain that America will remain the
most dependable source of supply.
"The inter-allied food council, of
which Mr.. Hoover is a member, has
plans for distributing food system
atically to all parts of liberated
Europe to prevent actual famine in
any section. MI. Hoover is ready
to go overseas and take an active
part in the work of the council.
ut is not time, therefore, to let
down the bars for conservation in
America. Though the food program
may be modified, we must continue
to save all staple foods; bread, meats,
fat, sugar. The people of New Mex
leo have supported the food pro-
gram patriotically throughout. We
ask their continued support in the
larger program of helping to feed
all liberated Europe"

WOOL INDUSTRY SHOULD BE
PUT ON THE UP GRADE

The sheep and wool industry are
vital to the life of the nation from
the standpoint of food and clothing
After-war conditions are going to
place hard strain on this joint in
dustry and stability of prices is very
important
The normal clip Of wool in our
country is from $4,000, 900 to 30O,OOO.-
600 pounds year. and we import as
much more
There has been some accr,nula-
tion Of foreign woods on account of
suspended trade with the Central
powers and Jack OF shipping.
The great duty before the people
of our country is to hold and en-
large flocks and supply more wool
and mutton for market
We should produce 400,000.000 lbs.
per year and the industry should be
on the up grade instead of declin-
ing in production.
The government should stabilize
prices for at least two yeas and
continue the present warehousing
and commission system of handling

A TRIAL OF STATE SOCIAL.
ISM PROVES EXPENSIVE

Oregon has been enacting a one.
reel farce for the past two years es.
tablishing state lime plant on the
theory that the farmers were clam
oring for lime fertilizer at cost.
The plant has been established at
a cost of $4,000 and has begun to
grind out lime at Gold Hill that il
offers to supply to the farmers a,
L$l75 a ton-actual cost.
But farmers are not ordering lime
and the managers complain at shock
ing lack of interest to take what
they offer at cost, and so with no
apparent demand for lime the state
plant must shut down.
The promoters got $4,000 from
the taxpayers, use convict labor, and
are asking about $4,000 from the next
legislature.
The salary roll for supervision is
stated at $1,000 for the next two
years, and it is backed by highbrows
and socialistic politicians.
1t is fine sample of the follies of
state socialism. There is no more
reason for supplying farmers with
lime at cost than there is for sup
plying any other class of citizens
with any other commodity at cost,
at state expense.

u. S. CROP ESTIMATE
NOVEMBER FIRST CONDITION

! CORN-The corn crop of the state
has averaged Is bushels per acre,
which means production of 100000
bushels for the State, or over one
half million bushels more than last
year.
In the United States the yield OF
corn has averaged 24.2 bushels per
acre, which is about 2 bushels per
acre less than last year, making the
total yield for the country about one
half billion bushels less, but the
quality is $50 per cent, compared to
7S.2 per cent last year.
Only one-fourth of one per cent
of last years crop of corn was left
on the. farms November in the
State, and less than one-half per
cent in the United States.
POTATOES-The acreage of this
crop was only 95 per cent, of last
years acreage, and the yield per acre
was also less, being 100 bushels, COM
pared to ll6 bushels last year.

less than last year, and the yield per
acre was only 948 bushels, compared
to 1908 bushels in 1917, making a

pared to 442.536OOO bushels in 1917
SWEET POTATOES-New Mex
leo had only 1000 acres of sweet
potatoes, which produced 12s bushels

better suited to the State than Irish
potatoes, which produce we'll, as a
rule, only in sections of an altitude
exceeding 5000 feet.

IMPORTANT NEWS ITEMS
OF THE PRESENT WEEK

An election has been announced in
Great Britain at which the issue will
be whether the present coalition gov
ernment with Lloyd George as pre-
mier shall be continued for the ,ur-
pose OF making peace and for the
work Of reconstruction. The eltctor-
al reform bill adopted by parliament
during the summer of 1917 virtually
doubled the number of voters. It
gave the ballot to all women over
80, men over q and soldiers under
2l. This added 100000 females AMI
q 100000 males to the voting list.
The legal life of the present house
OF commons expired three years ago
and has extended its own tenure of
office from term to term by resolu-
tions. This has been an informal
proceeding which would have been
impossible except that it had the en-
dorsement of public opinion because
no one wanted an election during the
great war,

In five years the rate Of taxation
of IS mills on each dollar Of property
valuation has risen to l8Nmills.
These figures were reviewed this
week by Director Rupert F. Asplund
of the New Mexico taxpayers asso-
citation. While in the main, he says,
New Mexico is getting value received
for the money it is paying out. the
people need to insist on economy
in spending public money.
For a period of years tax condi-
tions have improved in the sense that
valuations on given classes of prop
erty have become more equal
throughout different parts of the
state, there is still the need of level
ling up many classes, and the equal
izing of the rate Of valuation re-
turned to actual value of property in
the various counties.

LAND OFFICE BOOKS SHOWN
TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION

An audit covering nine years Of
the administration Of Robert P. Err
wien referred to in a statement from
the state taxpayers association this
week shows the records of the state
land office to be in a satisfactory
shape, both as to administration, and
bookkeeping
A total Of 1881 ,4O4.78 was shown to
be on deposit with various banks
on October of this year. During
the period of the audit four and a
half millions were collected by the
land office.
The question of whether deposits
on state land contracts are to be
regarded as public monies and as
such yield interest to the state was
brought up, it appearing that the
practice of the commissioner has
been to keep the funds so received
on deposit in banks in the name OF
the commissioner subject to with
drawal at any time, his liability be-
ing covered by his bond to the state.

PEACE MUST Be
WITHOUT MALICE
BRITISH PREMIER
SPIRIT OF REVENGE AND
GREED MUST NOT BE AL =.
LOWED TO OVERRIDE THE
SPIRIT OF JUSTICE-A
LEAGUE NECESSARY

"One of the principal ISSUES at
the forthcoming general election will
be the nature of the peace settle
ment. 1t will mean the settlement OF
the world"
Premier Lloyd George made this
announcement in an address to his
liberal supporters on November II.
what are the principles on which
that settlement is to be effected?"
he asked. "Are we to lapse back into
the old national rivalries. animosi-
ties and competitive armaments, or
are we to initiate the reign on earth
of the Prince of Peace1 1t is the
duty of liberalism to use its influ-
ence to ensure that it shall be reign
of peace.
what are conditions of peace?
They must lead to settlement which
will be fundamentally just. No set
tlement that contravenes the princi-
pies OF eternal Justice will be a perm
anent one. The peace Of 1871 i'm
posed by Germany on France out
ragged all the principles of justice
and fair play. Let US be warned by
that example.
Must Forget Revenge
1--WE must not allow any sense Of
revenge. any spirit Of greed. any
grasping desire to override the fun
damental principles of righteousness.
Vigorous attempts will be. made to
hector and bully the government in
an endeavor to make them depart
from the strict principles OF right
and to satisfy some base. sordid
squalid ideas of vengeance and of
avarice. We must relentlessly set
our faces against that.
"The mandate of this government
at the forthcoming election will mean
that the British delegation to the
peace congress will be in favor Of a
irst peace"
Discussing the question Of lea
que Of nations, the premier said that
such league was more necessary
now than ever. He pointed out that
the conditions which prevailed in
the Balkans before the war were
now affecting practically two-thirds
of Europe.
League of Nations Needed
"A large number of small nations
have been reborn in Europe" he con-
tinued, "and these will require a
league of nations to protect them
against the covetousness OF ambitious
and grasping neighbors. In my judg-
Inent a league of nations is absolute
ly essential to permanent peace.
I'VE shall go to the peace confer
ence to guarantee that league of
nations is a reality. l am one OF those
who believe that without peace we
cannot have progress. A league of
nations guarantees peace and guar
antees also an all around reduction
of armaments and that reduction of
is a guarantee that you
IAN get rid of conscription here
"Of course, we must have in this
an efficient army to police
he empire. but am looking forward
70 a condition of things with the
existence of a league Of nations under
which conscription will not be neces-
iary in any country"
