Social Insurance.

Until the level of legal minimum wages is reached the worker stands in need of the device of insurance. The State should make comprehensive pro vision for insurance against Illness, in validity, unemployment and old age. So far as possible the insurance fund should be raised by levy on industry, as is now done in the case of accident compensation. The industry in which a man is employed should provide him with all that is necessary to meet all the needs of his entire life. Therefore, any contribution to the insurance fund from the general revenues of the State should be only slight and temporary. For the same reason no contribution should be cxacted from any worker who Is not getting a higher wage than Is required to meet the present needs of himself and family. Those who are below that level can make such a con tribution only at the expense of their present welfare Finally, the admins tration of the insurance laws should be such as to interfere as little as possible with the individual freedom of the worker and his family.

Society," said Pope Leo XIII, can be healed in no other way than by a return to Christian life and Christian institutions The truth of these words is more widely perceived to-day than when they were written, more than twenty seven years ago. Changes in our economic and political systems will have only partial and feeble eff ciency if they be not reinforced by the Christian view of work and wealth
 Neither the moderate reforms advo- cated in this paper nor any other pro- gram of betterment or reconstruction will prove reasonably effective with out a reform in the spirit of both labor and capital. The laborer must come to realize that he owes his employer and society an honest days work in return for a fair wage and that conditions cannot be substantially improved until he roots out the desire to get maxi mum of return for a minimum of serV- ice. The capitalist must likewise get a new viewpoint He needs to learn the long-forgOtten truth that wealth is stewardship, that profit-making is not the basic justification of business en- terprise and that there are such things as fair profits, fair interest and fair prices Above and before all, he must cultivate and strengthen within his mind the truth which many of his class have begun to grasp for the first time during the present war namely, that the laborer is a human being, not mere ly an instrument of production and that the laborer's right to a decent livelihood is the first moral charge upon industry. The employer has a right to get a reasonable living out of his business, but he has no right to in- terest on his investment until his em- ployees have obtained at least living wages. This is the human and Chris tian in contrast to the purely conner cial and pagan ethics of industry"

IRRIGATION AND DRAINAGE

Agriculture is the foundation Of all

WATERS

New Mexico bas many mineral
springs, the waters Of which are
known to have curative properties
The waters of some are hot while
others are warm. Little has been
done to develop the mineral water
Of the state. Many Of the
springs are some distance from a
railroad and the highways have not
been inviting to the tourist.
Some attention has been given the
hot springs in Sierra County. the
springs at Haywood in Grant County,
the Jemez springs in Sandovai, and
Oio Caliente in Rio Arriba. Other
springs are used locally, but no effort
has been made to open them to the
public.
These mineral springs form a re-
souree of considerable value. II is
hoped hat with better roads they
may become accessible 10 the public
and warrant further development.
