Mr.. Wallace, who spends much of
his time here, is close friend of
President Wilson and often has par
ticipated in confidential conferences
at the White House. Soon after this
country entered the war he was sent
to London by the president on per

the president has the utmost conf

handling important delicate matters.
Except as a member of the demo-

not taken an active hand IN politics.
The only public office he ever held

MA |ONAL LIFE
INSURANCE co.
Of SOUTHWEST
Issues a New POIjCy-HOme
Company Deserves Patron
age of the People of State
of New Mexico,

The National Life Insurance Com
pany of the Southwest announces that
on and after this date they will issue
a new policy of life insurance, COM
bining health and accident features
with the regular life policies.
The addition of health and accident
to life insurance policies has been
demonstrated to be the most scientific
policy written by life Insurance COM
panies. While many persons died of
the dread influenza during the recent
epidemic there were even q greater
number who were sick for some little
time but who eventually recovered.
Under the new policy issued by the
National the poIicyholders will be
protected in the event of death, in the
event OF living, in the event of total
disability, and will be paid certain
sum per week should they become sick
or meet with an accident. There will
be no restrictions as to- the payment
of weekly indemnities except that a
man must be confined under the care
of a regularly licensed physician.
The growth of the National Life of
the southwest has been most pleasing
to the stockholders of this home com
pany and the fact that they came
through the recent epidemic of Span
ish influenza with a larger surplus
than they had year ago, has given
the people of the southwest additional
confidence in this company.
The company has an authorized
capital of 100000 andya surplus of
over 100000. They wrote more life
Insurance i'll the state of New Mexico
during the past year than has ever
before been written by any life com
pany in this state All the policies of
the company bear the endorsement by
the superintendent of insurance of the
stateof New Mexico certifying that the
full legal reserve is deposited in APP
proved securities for the protection Of
the policies. The company's loans are
limited entirely to mortgages on real
estate and the Looms are made on a ba-
sis of so per cent of the appraised
value. Ninety per cent of the COM
pany's loans are secured by farms To-
Gated in this state.

ARIZONA SENATE
FAVORS LIFTING
LIMIT To DEBT

Phoenix, Ariz., Feb. 15.--Late today
the senate passed bill Il. embodying
a provision that the limit of the state
Indebtedness be lifted to permit the
Inauguration of a $30,00t.000 road
building program The measure is
similar to house bill %.
Under the proposed legislation APP
proved by the senate, a board would
be created to consist of the governor,
secretary of state, auditor. treasurer
and attorney general, would appoint
u COMMIT son under which the large
appropriation would be administered.
The commission also would appoint
the engineer in charge of road and
bridge construction, who would be
given wide executive powers.
1t is freely predicted in the CORR
doris of the capitol that this measure
will go through as it is drawn at
present. The change said to be con-
templated IS in the personnel of the
board to name the highway commits
sion and it is stated that this will be
altered to incl de three state officers
instead of five. These three would
be the governor. the president of the
senate and the speaker of the house.

10y MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEAsEp wIREl
Phoenix, Ariz., Feb 15.--In the
northwest corner of Coconino county,
Ariz., lies a strip of territory to reach
which travellers from Flagstaff, the
county seat, find it most convenient
to journey through three other states.
Just now this stretch of country is
the center of an argument between
Utah and Arizona The latter state
owns it. but finds it difficult to reach
owing to the tremendous cash of the
Grand canyon Utah wants it be-
cause it would provide rich grazing
ground for heads of her cattle. The
Salt Lake city legislators have offered
to buy or to trade, but so far withoUt
result.
The latest move on Utah's part has
been to send a special delegation to
the Arizona legislature, sitting at
Phoenix, but Arizona sentiment is
against parting with the territory and
plans are being made to bridge the
tremendous chasm which cuts it off
from the remainder of the state al
most as effectually as though it were
an island of the sea.
For years settlers from Utah have
been drifting across the state line and
settling in this Isolated portion of Co.
conino county. The majority CT these
pioneers are Mormons and at Ere
donia a compact Mormon center has
been built up.
In the natural course of events it
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1919-02-16

occasionally becomes necessary for
the supervisors and county school su-
perintendent to visit this village. TO
get from Flagstaff, the county seat, to
this settlement, the officials find 1t
more convenient to travel through
three other states to reach their dcsti-
nation. This is known as the eastward
route and carries them through por-
tons of California, Nevada and Utah.
A direct cross-county trip would IN
volve the negotiating of rough desert
roads and the fording of the Colorado
river at historic Lees Ferry with It's
dangers of Quicksand.
Arizona may not be able to make
much use of what she owns north OF
the Grand canyon, but nevertheless
she is jealous of her property rights
there, and through the medium of
Governor Campbell a protest has been
lodged in the legislature here against
Utah herds grazing on the Arizona
territory without paying any taxes for
the privilege.

DALLAS COUNTY
MISSOURI BONDS
STILL NOT PAID
Judges Go To Jail, Other Off,
GERS Take to WOodSi but
Railroad Not Built and In
tereSt Unpaid,

Inv MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wpsEI
Kansas City, Mo, Feb. 1.-THE
surrender of Former Judge j. $. Ev
ans to begin his Jail sentence for con-
tempt of federal court, has added an
other chapter to the tangled history
of the fight to compel a county in the
Missouri hills to pay a bonded in
debtedness for a railroad never con-
structed.
1t was in 1871 that Dallas county,
with other Missouri and Kansas COM
munities, saw visions of tremendous
industrial Development Strangers APP
pcared with pen and pape"" rail-
road from st. Louis to Fort Scott,
Kans., and Dallas county voted $225,-
900 bonds as a bonus to the pro-
meters.
The road was never built and Dali
las County's paramount issue" was
horn when the first interest payment
fell due. In all political campaigns
candidates for county judgeships have
cried, I'VE will refuse to pay the
bonds" After election successful cam
didates have gone to the hills to avoid
taking action.
The bonds eventually went to an
eastern capitalist who resumed the lit
igation of his predecessors to collect
interest Judgments had been entered
into from time to time in federal court.
BY 1911 the principal and accrued in
terest had reached $1,023,000, pay
ment of which would take Is cents on
every dollar of valuation in the coun-
ty, it was said
a Judgment was obtained and the
federal court directed the Dallas
county clerk to call a special election
to vote bonds to pay $4,000 of the in
torest. with that action, the county
Clerkship was added to the list of
recluse offiCialdOm of Dallas county.
Efforts to serve summons on the
iurists were redoubled. Posses of dep
uties from the United States marshaps
office in motor cars rolled along the
trails through hills and woods 9th
ers disguised as fisherman and hunt
crs, trekked through thickets and
along creeks without success.
Federal Judge Van Valkcnburgh is
sue dan order of contempt against the
three Dallas county judges last
March. Judges Monroe Quigley and
J. T.. Thomas sought the safety of the
woods. In the night, deputies sur
rounded Judge Evans home and he
was brought into federal court, where
he refused to agree to a bond levy and
was sentenced to six months in jail
for contempt. The court of appeals
recently affirmed the decision and the
judge, who had been released pend
ing decision, appeared to begin serv-
ing sentence.
Judge Evans. who is now out of Of
flee and therefore has no power to act
on the tax levy, was taken to Spring
field, Mo. whether he must serve his
sentence is still somewhat in doubt.
Meanwhile, Dallas county is with
out railroad.

BELIEVE RECREATION
BUDGET SHOULD STAND

T. N. buckingham believes that the
budget appropriation for the city rec
reation commission of $12, 600 Is little
enough for the city to spend in pro-
viding amusement for the children and
youth of the city, and takes exception
to the recommendation of the tax rate
committee that the Appropriation should
be no more than last years, which
was about $4,000.
Speaking of the matter, Mr., Bucking-
ham said Friday:
''In the special committees report
upon the tax rate there Is n recon-
m~endation that the recreation board
appropriation of $l2, 900 be cut to Sc, 900

Orpheum.

When 1t comes to a~crobatics, and the
world is fun OF It's opponents, there Is
an act on the new bill at the Orpheum
the last half OF this week which takes
the palm for anything OF its nature
ever shown here before, Feats which
other teams of acrobats never dreamed
Of doing are included in the stunts
these Arabs perform, and they are little
short OF marvellous. Whether one cares
for a~crobatics or not, the act Is sc
superior that 1t outshines other num-
bers on the bill. The performers come
here under the title Of Emma Francis
and Arabs. although Emma has but
little to do.
Another number on the bill which
serves to make the program well worth
while are Miss Bell and Arlis two
comely girls, who put over n line ot
comedy and songs that is well received.
The team reminds one of the best OF
the sister teams that hav played here
on pre- Yious occasions.

songs and eccentric dances and Harold

LoeW's Lyceum.

A bill which, while not the best which
has ever played Loew's Lyceum, Is cal
culated to entertain in a pleasing way
during the hot summer months, moved
into Loew's Lyceum Thursday after
noon for the last three days OF the
week. The bill carries no particular
star. in fact, 1t Is billed as an all star
variety program.
Much fun is derived listening to How
ard and Lewis, two funsters, who seem
to have nothing N their minds except
showing everyone a good time. Their
Hebrew comedy and chatter and their
new songs are of the frothy type, and
there was not a dull moment while
they were on the stage.
Another number which Is Of pleasing
proportions Is the dancing INC singing
act which Fennell and Tyson offer. This
couple injects u bit of musical comedy
way.
Tommy Ray, survivor OF the Lust
tania, opens his act with a bit of mo.

comes out in person for n few songs.

THE CITY'S FAULT

The Commercial Appeal says that friends Of Senator Ken
meth Mcclellan feel that an injustice has been done him by the
report in fhe audit Of taxpayers, which insists that he is among
the delinquent taxpayers the city ought to get behind and make
pay up"
1t is not often that the Commercial Appeal rallies so
enthusiastically to the support of the junior senator, and perhaps
even now it is not thinking exclusively and entirely of the sena-
tor. But that is neither here nor there.
1t any injustice was done Senator Mcclellan it was not bv
the investigating committee, 1t simply copied the list of delin-
quents from the personally assessment book, a public record kept
at the city hall.
II Senator Mckellar's name is wrongfully on the record il
IS about time it were taken off. 1t has been on there since 1915
or'about three years, The book has no notation to indicate tina,
there is any question Of its accuracy.
what me News Sc'mltar said OF the list, including the name
Of Senator Mcclellan, was; "The above are all names Of wei
known firns or individuals, and the taxes due are for either l9lt
or l9l7. 1t is an absurdity to suppose that any of them woulc
not pay the amounts due il they we're notified" The assump
ton, as shown by the record, of course, was that there w nc
controversy.
