Many years ago when
everybody traded on the
principle of asking all they
could get, we adopted our
"one-price" rYle and have
stuck to it ever since.
Then, as now, it meant
making up our minds to be
satisfied with a fair profit
based on actual cost.
Strange ely enough,
through the exigencies of
wartime trading, we are
caught at a seeming viola
ton of this cardinal princi-
pie of our commercial code
occasionally have iden-
teal goods in stock at two
or more prices.
Yet the explanation S
simple.
Once a garment, or any
thing else we sell, is placed
in stock, it is marked a fair
price in plain figures and
stays at that price (unless
reduced) until sold.
If meantime cost of man.
ufacture has gone up, new
goods, although exactly
the same quality, must
fetch a higher price.
In other words, we do
not advance goods already
in stock to bring them up
to current market value.

the United States Railroad Admins
~tration cut out everything that tend
Cd to advertise the west and attract
travel. For a year or more there
has been nothing done by the rail.
roads to attract attention to New
Mexico. 1t 10 reported that the Dr.
rector General Walker D. Hines is
ready to spend = little money to
develop tourist travel in the hope
that passenger evenue may increase.
1t remains to be seen whether the
railroad administration will rebA,ild
the agencies that were so ruthlessly
destroyed whom the railroads yer
taken over by the government.
Just now the assets of climate,
scenery, and history of this wonder
full state are not noised abroad
effectively. True, commercial clubs
and other local organizations are
doing their best to advertise the ad-
vantages Of their respective commu.
mites. But their efforts are neces-
sariIy limited for want Of means.
The tourist business in these days
of easy communication merits gen.
eral attention. The State Record is
calling attention to the matter at
thi, time that il may be discussed
and possibly some plan devised by
which the tourist can be attracted
to the state.

IRRIGATION AND DRAINAGE

There l. room for extensive irri-
CATION development in many sec
sions Of New Mexico. In NO place
where irrigation 10 in use has the
limit Of development been reached.
There is yet much water from the
various stream systems that may be
put to beneficial use, now passing
ON to the sea. Development of UNDER
ground waters has barely started
in a few districts. In localities much
water is wasted through out-of-date
and defective headworks, canals, and
bitches. Not only is water wasted
that could be put to beneficial use,
but usually this wastage is destruc.
tive to lands at lower levels.
The most opportune time for pro.
noting irrigation development is at
hand. Agricultural lands are be.
coming more difficult to obtain and
New Mexico will benefit by the de-
mands for lands through further de.
velopment of its water resources for
irrigation.
Where there i. irrigation, drainage
mu.t necessarily follow. In fact no
irrigation project big or little is on
a safe basis until the drainage has
been provided for. This lesson has
already been brought home TO the
irrigators of the Mesilla and Pecos
valleys. Drainage systems are in
consequence being installed in both
valleys and tho benefits already in
evidence demonstrate the wisdom of
providing for drainage.
The areas needing drainage in
these valleys arc comparatively small.
The real problem in New Mexico is
to drain and reclaim vast areas Of
the Rio Crande Valley. So far it
has been mostly talk. 1t is a big
undertaking that will cost a mint Of
money. No one section can cope
with this problem. 1t must be a CO.
operative project. As such it is
very probable that Federal aid may
be secured. But the government will
not take the initiative. To obtain
government assistance will require
concerted action. Ii IL time to back
the men that are actually at work
to bring about the drainage Of the
Rio Crande Valley. Development of
the state demands il.

1919.
But what Of the futsrs? Director
Hines is optimistic, but svsn he does
not lock for increase In revenue
great enough to break even for the
year. Will the government ever
make the railroads pay7 Hardly.
This government was not designed
to Be q business institution. When.
ever il has tried to carry ON business
Congress has had to make up . de-
fieit every year. Even Frank H.
Hitchcock when potmaster general
failed to place the postoffice depart
msnt Of a sslfsustaining basis. This
feature, however, need not be dis
cussed At this time.
There is one feature of railroad
ing to which attention needs to be
directed. Every railroad had when
taken over by the government
special organizations to promote de-
velopment Of the along the
railroads. 1t was the business Of
these agencies TO encourage industry,
settlement of lands, and better farm.
ing for the very selfish purpose to
increase the traffic of the roads.
Other agencies encouraged tourist
business. Tho cost was not very
great comparatively, but the results
in course of year often took rail-
road lines into the we'll paying class.
New Mexico has benefited by the
efforts Of the Santa Fe and the
E. p. 4 S. W. to promote develop
mont. The work of building the
country to develop tonnage was just
as important as the financing and
building Of the lines in the first
place. The real success Of a rail-
road depended very largely on the
country building efforts of its man
agement.
The U. S. Railroad Administration
evidently did not appreciate this as
il proceeded to abolish every agency
that had for its purpose to develop
tonnage. 1t wiped the slate clean
and gave as the reason tina. economy
of operation required it. All adver.

Explanations and are pres.

Government railroading is proving
to be a costly experiment.
W. had become so imbued with
the idea that the railroad managers
were the enemy of the people al.
Ways scheminng to take the shining
dollars from the people without re-
gard to cost of service. We had
heard SO much of the high handed
methods of the railroad magnates in
rates, watering stock, and
wrecking railroads.
So when President Wilson with a
of the pen took over all the
for government operation,
we were foolish enough to think
that the millennium in transporta-
tion had arrived with lower rates,
service, and construction Of
lines wherever needed. The Ripleys,
The Samuel Reas, and their whole
tribe had been put out business.
Last May we sat up with a jolt
when the then Director General Nc.
Adoo hoisted freight rates twenty.
live per cent over night. In New
the passenger rates went to
/ straight four cents a mile. Pass.
,nger service was severely eurtailed.
We took all this cody at the time
because of the war.
