That a Good One

Namely, the appointment by the

succeed himself as state bank exam
iner. George takes his job seriously,
works at it, keeps in close touch with
the banks and bankers, keeps himself

They Are Dead

IN the absence Of reliable vital
statistics III New Mexico an appeal
was made to one Of the greatest au-
thorities ID the country for an esti-
mate as to the probable annual NOR
tally IN New Mexico. The following
is from DR.. Frederick L. Hoffman,
third vice president and statistician
Of the Prudential life Insurance com.
pany Of America:
Il would estimate the probable
number Of deaths from all cause in
the state OF New Mexico during the
year 1918 at about $500; this as
sumes a death rate Of is. per 1000,
which may seem rather high but there
can be no question as to the higher
mortality Of the Mexican element and
the Indians, as to both OF which our
information is extremely unsatisfac-
tory. Rather than to feel concerned
as to the estimate being too high, 1t
is quite probable that it is below the
actual.
"Of the $500 deaths from all causes
about 400 viii be from typhoid fever
and malaria; about $50 from all forms

The Neutrals

ticle, by the w~ay-contend that a

independent of the war and that
they ought to have a full voice in ar
ranging any international pact to
which they win be asked to sub
scribe.
AS a matter of fact we should think
that a league of nations was pretty
closely Identified with the war. The
crime, the criminals punishment, re-
construction and measures for peace
are fairly well linked in the chain OF
events. AT all events the neutrals may
rest assured their interests will be
we'll looked after. In which connec.
ton it is interesting to speculate on
how much sooner the war had ended
had Holland, Switzerland, Spain, Nor
way, Sweden and a few other German
infected states thrown their combined
power into the scale against the Hun
without waiting to see who was going

Should Have 1t

While dispensing fragrant bou.
quests today. it may be wen to en-.
dorse the prompt action of the legis-
lature in memorializing the federal
railroad administration to extend til.
half-rates on feed granted the stock
men in the drouth districts. 1t has
been announced that these rates
will terminate lowing to complica-
tons in the middle of the winter :
January rs, in fact. 1t is desired
to have them extended at least until
April first. If there are any COM
plicatlons' we should say it is the
affairs OF the drouth-stricken cattle
and sheep growers which are COM
plicated. Extraordinary measures to
give these men a lift are good bust
ness. They mean the saving of flocks
and herds. For this reason also the
governors suggestion that public
defense monies be used to help de-
serving farmers is an excellent one,
conditional always on a non-poIitical
use OF these funds, which the de-
sired cooperation of county com.
missioners and newspapers ought 10
greatly assist.

A Suggestion

The present Legislature has already
gone on record for economy In OK.
~pendltures. We suggest also economy
of time. In other words, the law
makers should make the utmost pos.
sible use OF every day OF the session.
To get the best results 1t is important
that the bulk Of the work BIO not left
until the last week Of the session. II
Is q lamentable habit OF legislatures to
postpone action on a little bit Of every
thing until the last few days and
nights and then rush through a mass
OF legislation in such feverish haste
that many members don't know what
they are voting for. The time to be-
gin the elimination Of this eleventh
hour scramble is now: and no bills
should be introduced during at least
the last ten days OF the session.

"A Magnificent Address

The speech by President Poincare
of France in opening the peace con
gress will live in history. It was
magnificent, worthy Of the tremend-
GUS occasion, an epochal address. II
required genius-such genius as has
burned into Frenchmen alone by the
frightful holocaust of Prussian war
to utter that speech. Out of the
mouth Of her President spoke the
France that has suffered tortues on
the Cross for humanity, the France
that rose to heights of supremest
heroism of soul to emerge victorious
over the hordes Of barbarism and
free the world. President Poincare
impaled the Hun before a world of
scorn and detestation with an elo-
quence which was terrible and suf-
fered not the same world to forget
how unspeakable we're the sacrifices
of France to bring about the final
destruction Of the menace which
overshadowed civilization. The duty
and responsibility OF the allies sit
ting in solemn council to recon
struct a shattered world cannot be
fully appreciated without bearing in
iuluu dl luG WHliG III ITO luAA hOiiOt
the scope and diabolism of the crime
which has been attempted against
the world. M. Poincare reviewed
the crime, fits aims, its final defeat
in words which will freshen and
strengthen the determination Of the
delegates to prevent its recurrence
so far as human power can avail.
Unless the picture Of the Red War
in its full awfulness is kept clear-cut
and vivid through all the delibera-
tions Of the congress the measures
taken for permanent peace and the
punishment of the criminal alike will
be inadequate. The president Of
france in his powerful address has
indicated the attitude to which the
delegates must unswervingly adhere;
and he has as never before set
forth the verdict of guilty which the
civilized world has fastened upon
the offender now before the bar.

Now that the charms OF Santa Fe

II is not going to be an easy
thing to find the ways and means
Of carrying out all the desirable
suggestions as to legislation made
by Governor Larrazolo in his mes
sage. 1t is going to take more
money to pay for better education
and faster road building, and for
the other up-to-date provisions for
the welfare of the population which
the executive desires to see adopted
by the lawmakers. Nature has not
been kind to the livestock interest,
one of the largest in the state and
in other ways the average annual in
creased n taxable valuation is likely
to have a crimp put IN 1t this year.
How to raise the money Imperative
ly needed for imperative legislation
is not a simple problem, but we be-
lieve that intelligently and patrioti-
cally approached, its solution a to
a large extent be found.
This situation means one thing pre-
eminently; and that is that there Is
no room on the statute books this
year for any special legislation, any
unnecessary 1uxuries for the bene-
fit Of political workers. or sine
cures to reward the faithful. Every
thing that we can get along without
must be eliminated in order to get
the things we need. If it stretches
the states financial to
raise the standard of education and
build highways and improve social
conditions, these things nevertheless
form the best kind of investment.
Honorary Jobs created for politi-
clans are the worst kind Of extrava-
gance, a dead loss.
The Legislature has made a good
start in the matter of employees.
There are no hordes of capital
sweepers nor chiefs of stenographers
and the constitutional limit has
been adhered to. We believe the
lawmakers will bear in mind this
year that economy is the watchword;
and that true economy consists in
spending the states money where it
will do the state the most good.
The governor has put the loud
pedal on the things which will give
the txpayer the worth Of his money
and If this idea is kept to the fore
the legislature will go on record
this year as an asset and not as a
liability to the people.

French Should STAY

1t is merely a truism to say that
Jim" French should retain, under the
new state administration, his post OF
state highway engineer. Politics
doesn't figure in this case. The aver
age motorist who travels the new
highways Of New Mexico doesn't know
the politics of the state highway en-
gineer, but he knows there is an en-
gineer on the job. Mr.. French's ex-
perience in building New Mexico
roads particularly fits him to keep on
building New Mexico roads. He has
the confidence of the entire state, his
work is his highest recommendation
and his ideas of honest and efficiency
haven't changed under varying poli
'ticaI administrations. He knows how
to make a dollar build a dollars worth
of roads and the people will be
nightly pleased to see him given a
chance to make new records under the
enlarged plan of road building desired
by Governor Larrazolo. French has
been a ninety horsepower, 12-cylinder,
seven passenger, long wheel base, self
starting engineer and there is no use
changing autos in the middle of the
arroyo when you run the chance Of
finding yourself in a fliv. We don't
know that there is really any prospect
of a change; but anyhow it's a good
chance to recognize honest work.

+. I. Miller, director, division OF

ment, says:
Contracts for 800 public school
houses. totaling some eighty million
dollars, have been held up as a re,
suit of the. war, according to but a
partial tabulation Of building condI.
tions throughout the United States,
which has been made by the statistical
sectIon of the division of public works

that the completed ~tabulation will
show that these school projects, now
being held In allegiance, aggregate
more than one hundred million dollars.
In round numbers, this is about
n dollar per capita throughout the

are customarily financed on twenty
year serial bonds, this means an In

per capita per year by the people of

Assuming that a decrease Of 20
per cent in construction costs might
