The state of Georgia has al
ready given us a sample of what
we can expect here in the west if
government ownership of the rail-
roads prevails as a permanent pol
icy. When the new rates vent in

southern business interest. were
hard hit, A delegation of Georgia
business men went to Washington
and demanded adjustments to meet
their views. They strongly intim-
ated that if they did not get what
they wanted they would call a con-
vention of the business interests of
the twelve southern states. They
got concessions. This same kind
of force will demand, and get, all
the available money for Few con-

be developed until it grow. political

MR.. BURSUM's PROPOSAL

A practical suggestion by which all
partisan politics may be dispensed
with in this state this fall, by the re-
election of Senator Fall, republican,
and Congressman Walton, democrat,
by both parties, and the reelection of
all state, Judicial and county Off
GERS, now in office, and which are
about equally divided between the
parties, by the adoption of a consti-
tutional amendment continuing all
of them for the next two years, is
proposed by Mr.. Holm o. Bursum in
a letter to the Albuquerque Herald.
Under such a law only three PROPOSE
tions would be presented to the vot-
ers-eleotion of a United States SEN
ator; election of a Congressman;
adoption of IA constitutional amend
ment continuing nil state, judicial
and county officers for two years.
OF the state officers the democrats
would thus retain the Chief Justice,
Secretary OF State, Attorney General
and State Treasurer. The republicans
would retain the Governor, Commits.
.ioner Of Public Lands, Superintend-
ent of Public Instruction, State Audi
tor and Corporation Commissioner.
A constitutional amendment for this
purpose would repeal all other provi-
sions in conflict with its provisions
by its adoption and amount to an
election of all officers collectively
instead of individually. A vote would
be just as important on such an
amendment as if cast for the whole
ticket, and would amount to the same
thing. 1t would be especially i'm
portant in such a case to extend the
ballot to, the absent soldiers that they
might be heard on the proposition.

WAGNER VISITS MACDALENA

State Superintendent Of Schools
J. II. Wagner, visited our Village
last Tuesday, and was shown over
the city by our school board, Gle
mente Castillo, Jake Stuppi, Ed,
Wayne, Jerry Gonzales, and Joe Sa-
lone.
A thorough inspection was made OF
the school buildings and the propos-
ed sites for a new building. Mr.
Wagner compliments our high school
building and at the same time APP
preciates the very apparent need for
better school facilities for the grades.
In conversation with Mr.. Wagner he
said:
Even in time of war ] believe that
education is OF highest Importance
and while II Government is discour-
aging public expenditures of the
pork barrel kind, during this war,
it does URGE that the education of
our young be NOT neglected, We
are sending our boys to Europe to
fight for democracy and democratic
institutions; we do not want these
boys to return victorious to find that
we at home have allowed our home
and school standard to be lowered
here while they were fighting there"
Mapdalcna needs better school ac-
commodations for her grades and
steps, should be taken to erect a
structure in keeping with the COM
mercial and ranch interests OF this
community.
We are highly elated to see our Ell
%fieient school board taking TIP this
matter and we believe that Magda-
lena may soon justly boast OF her
schools.
Mr.. Wagner is a gentleman Of
marked ability and is thoroughly
connoissent of the needs of "A com

M HIS RECORD

There are several different kind,
of slackers. Some of them simply dc
nothing. Some help a little as a mat.
ter of policy. Some who are finan.
cially able to do a great deal con.
tribute very m%eagerly. The latter
are the worst because they have
more to protect and are trying to
get something for nothing by letting
the other fellow furnish protection
for them.
Watch for them and swat them
whenever there is any kind of an
opportunity. One place to watch for
them is at political conventions this
fall. Let no man who has stabbed
a soldier in the back or been will
ing to let him go hungry, or without
ammunition, by failing 10 contribute
to his support, be placed on any
ticket of any party in this state this
fall. And, should any get by the
conventions, fight them from that
moment to the close of the polls.
The Tularosa Tribune puts this
proposition up very squarely in the
following paragraph:
Let the voters Of Otero county
inquire closely as to the loyalty of
every nominee On all the tickets.
Let that be the first test. Find out
how much they have supported the
American Red Cross: how many and
how large Liberty bonds they own
how many War Savings certificates.
Then compare the total with the
wealth of the nominee. See if the
percent OF support OF these vital is
sues are sufficient to entitle him to
aspire to office in America. Also
examine the hackers of the candi-
date.

1t is not a matter of any great
pride to the newspaper fraternity of
this state that there are still a very
few weekly papers and at least one
daily that haven't the nerve to in
form the public who the editor,
manager, or responsible party in
charge is. The implication of course
is that if a paper has no editor it
isn't edited. Perhaps that is what
they desire to establish-if so they
