We see signs of an effort to
get that5-percent taxation-raise
clause into the constitution 1t
was turned down properly last
election and should be sat on a.
gain indefinitely.
The Statute we now have to
that effect is questionable and
has proven troublesome to the
School interests especially but,
as a Statute it can be remedied
when the power given the Tax
Commission is abused. AS a
part Of the Constitution it would
place the schools and many Other
progressive interests in the hands
of the "fBig- Business" that seeks
to avoid paying taxes for the
benefit of the common people.

The parties who attended the
State Land sales at Ration and
Mora last week met with a lot Of
rough weather but had an inter-
esting time. S Floershiem secur-
ed his selection of State Land at
the minimum price of $500 per
acre. The boys who went to bid
on it were too slow and their bid
was ruled out for not speaking
up quicker, so they tell us, They
admit to being just Country
boysp in town for the first time.
They got action and bid on the
Wilson tractand run itup to 81. 10
letting Wilson have it for SILL
SO they are still looking for land
The Wilson Company divided
up their purchase with Deaton
and Lebert, of Mills so their
clients all got the land they want
ed and the Company took the
balance. This will bring some
80 farmers directly to this tract
and the rest win be improved
and colonized by the Wilson Co.
Fred Brown purchased the
School sections near Roy at the
Mora Sale, The Cemetery was
purchased for. the town Of Roy
at $40. the balanceof the section
Nh. Abernathy contended for ua-
Ill the price It sold at was SIC.
per acre. The Beubler section
sold at the minimum price, $40,
Mr.. Deubler withdrawing from
the sale without bidding NJ.
Brown thus adds two Of the best
sections on the mesa to his
already large land holdings.

Ny Dear New Mexico Friends:-
AS | am renewing my SUBJ
scription to the S-A. / tho't I'd
write a few lines to all of you.
] still enjoy reading the paper
1t comes in the Monday morning
mail and if that happens to be
wash morning my part of the
work stops until | look through
the paper,
lido wish it would have been
possible for you to have had at
least one half or one third of the
snow we have had this winter.
For eight weeks we never saw
the ground. | never saw SO much
snow in my life time. We grew
very tired Of the severe cold.
But the last few weeks we have
had some lovely weather. Wheat
is looking very good but a lot Of
corn is just being shucked
on account Of the snow.
| never saw such hustlers in
all lines as the people of Roy.
You are all up with your part in
all patriotic lines. 1t is wonder
ful the way you do get the money
with short crops the last two
years. You are not all quite so
unlucky as l have been in busi-
ness there,
The picture Of the Tloersheim
building is a credit to the S-A.
and am sure the real thing is a
credit to Roy, quite different
from the one Earl and ! used to
trade in
Well | believe we arealmost as
busy here in Mt. Vernon or some
of us at least as you are there.
Every week seems to bring
new duties. AS usual a great
part Of my time is spent in work
ing in all the departments Of the
church. Tonight l have my
S. S. Glass Of young ladies here.
Two afternoons a weekI ] am
spending for Red Cross. Then
| also do sewing Also have
few music pupils so you see my
sime IS. divided among several
lines Of work and service.
How delighted / would be to
have some of my western friends
drop in. ! shall never forget
The many kindnesses you people
If Roy and vicinity showed me
while living among you,
My mother and father are both
n good health and you would
scarcely know my brother Clinton
le has grown so tall. He is a
yery busy and hustling Boy
Scout of America. If he only
makes the man Earl was I'll be
atisfied.
