OF Interest To Farmer
Who Pays Income Tax
The Following Form Will be Of Help to
Farmers Who Will Have to Make
Income Return to u. 8.


The matter of making up returns
for the new war tax is much COM
plicated affair for anyone, but that
applied to the farmers is more than
complicated. From information
we are able to gather it will be al
most impossible for anyone but an
expert to make up a return in prop
er form.
Collector James Coffey- stat es in a
letter that every single person with
net income Of $1,000 and every
married person or head of family
with a net income of $4,000 is re.
quired to make a return.
Below is a form which will assist
the farmers in making out their re-
turn. Fill in blank spaces and
bring the slip along when you call
on the tax officer who will be in
Fort Yates from February 11th to
18th, or Mcintosh from January
21st to 30th. He will assist you in
making out proper return:

MARTINEZ WORD HIS BOND;
DURAN AN OFFICE HUNTER

Manuel Martinez. the Republican
nominee for Secretary Of State, like
a number of other candidates on the
Republican state ticket, was not nom.
mated because he was a candidate
seeking the office He was called over
the long distance phone from Santa
Fe while the convention was in ses-
sion and besought to consent to per-
NIT the use of his name for the rea-
son that the convention thought he
would be the sort of efficient, clean,
outstanding citizen who would render
good service in that important office.
Mr.. Martinez is not politician but
a rancher who in 2t years in business
has earned a competence and at the
same time has earned a reputation for
being business man who deals fairly
and whose word is as good as his
bond.
As collector of Union county, Mr..
Martinez made a splendid record in
office and his record also as U. S.
Commissioner Of the Land Office at
Clayton was a remarkable record OF
efficiency and industry. No COM
plant was ever made against . single
ruling which he made.

FlE0GllNG LAWYER Is
OPPONENT OF VETERAN

II there is one office more than an
other where the Republican nomina-
tion is conspicuously fit and the
Democratic nomination is woefully
unfit, 1t is that of Attorney General.
The Republicans have nominated o.
o. Askren of Roswell. lawyer who
has never been a candidate for any
public office. who stands at the very
peak Of his profession in the state,
whose income from his private prac-
tice is said to be $25,0oO a year and
who is endorsed by Republicans and
Democrats of the Pecos valley as one
Of the big lawyers Of the state.
Askren will bring to the office Of
Attorney General a record for great
success in private practice in all the
courts Of the state and the federal
court and will be entirely competent
to handle even the most difficult ami
intricate questions which can be pre-
sentsd. II u ssldsa indeed that .

stripped Of their clothing and their
bodies mutilated. and no demand was
made for reparation. That aroused
the indignation Of many red blooded
/, Americans, Of whom Senator Fall Is
only one. But when we get into this
war. Senator Fall has been standing
by and has been helping in every way
he can to put this country into a con
dition Of winning the war speedily and
victoriously.
Senator Fall introduced a bill to
have three regiments of New Mexico
boys-volunteers, to patrol the border
against Mexican snipers and Mexican
raiders. he was simply wanting to
protect his own pcople-the people
who honored him by electing him to
the Senate. He realized that a raid
was made over here by villa: he real
ized that his constituents were killed.
and he was afraid that those condi-
tions might occur again while our
boys were fighting on the battlefields
Of Europe. and therefore he waned
three regiments of New Mexico cav
airy down on the border to protect
the border OF this state Surely, no
one can blame him for that. He was
simply looking after the welfare Of
his fellow citizens.
Senator Fall stands very well In
deed with his colleagues. Senator
Fall has established a reputation in
the Senate and no new man, be he
ever so able, could hope Immediately
to attain similar standing.
Fall Is Hard Worker.
Everybody recognizes thai Senator
Fall is a hard worker, exceedingly in
dustrous. | have had occasion to see
what he does in connection with the
military matters that come before the
conferences. He has appeared before
the conference several times and ad-
vocated matters in which his state
was especially interested.

well and remarked while he was il
member Of the house, that he was in
dependent and fearless in his votes.

a condition Of Daredness. He re
peatodly voted, while the House was
in a committee of the whole consider
ing the measure for an expansion OF
our military establishment. and when
you consider that that law was passe
only seven months before Germany
served her notice upon us that she

WAGNER, TRIED EDUCATOR,
FACES SMALL SCHOOL MAN

Perhaps no more pat nomination
was ever made for any office in the
state OF New Mexico than that of Prof
J. Fl. Wagner for second term as
the head of the public school system
of the state. Mr. Wagner In his two
years in office has made remark
able record in developing the schoo
system OF the state. has kept the Of
flee free from politics and has as well
shown one Of the characteristics OF a
really able official in that he has been
successful in selecting competent as
sistants. A resume of the really eff
fective work he has done in broaden
ing the education system would take
columns Of space but the following
brief summary is indicative ot nurl
more work that he has accomplished:
The average length of the term OF
the common school has increased
from IA 10 SO months under Mr. Wag
nor's administration. The number Of
pupils has increased in ITO years
from 75,2o4 TO 79,iSI The number OF
teachers mas increased to 3,15S. Tho
number OF eighth grade graduates has
increased over 80 per cent
Vocational and Industrial depart.
ments have been established in four
high schools, home-making depart
mcnts in six. three general Industrial
day schools have been authorized, eve.
ming classes have been founded in
twelve mining camps and domestic
science and manual training have been
installed in many schools.
Special ability has been shown by
Mr.. Wagner In connection with the
war work activities Of the schools as
carried on through the school chill.
dren and in the conduct of the Boys
Working Reserve and the similar or
ganization among the girls OF the
state.
AS against this magnificent record
of achievement, what have the Demo
Gratis to offer? A candidate whose ex-
perience has been confined to small
town schools, who represents no his
tory of his own as a school admins
traitor and who was put on the Demo
cratic ticket as part of the movement
in the Democratic convention to send
as many nominations as possible to
the east side of the state and to af-
front the Spanish American element.
In that convention every Spanish
county voted for Hon. Filadelfo Baca
and every Anglo county voted for
Long. He was nominated on the race
issue as a racial candidate.
The voters of this state appreciate
efficient service They want their
children in their public schools to
have the widest and soundest possible
education. Read again the above sum-
mary Of what Superintendent Wagner
has accomplished. You viii then vots
for him.

Notwithstanding the thirteenth

Democratic authority refuse to grant
1t to our mothers, wives ana sisters
l he very idea that those who teach

thirty nine years American mothers
have been the leaders. We would not

Tor the women. From al, over our

There is one thing now left for US
to do, and it is certainly apparent that
the Amendment can be put through

There can be no question about that.
Let every Republican go to the poll
