A. COSTLY FARCE

According to estimates made
by the Taxpayers Association
|of New Mexico, the special
election held on September
18th at which two and posi-
bly, allof the proposed amend
ments to the state constitution
were defeatedd cost over $685.
900.
There are approximately
800 precincts in the state. For
registration it is estimated
that in one-third of these pre-
cincts there are over 100 vot-
ers and the members of the
registration board in such pre-
cincts received five dollars
($5.00) day each. In the
remaining 600 precincts, the
members of this board re-
ceived three dollars $4,000 a
day each. Registration, there
fore, cost $8,400. Three judg-
es and two clerks on election
day were paid two dollars
($2.00) a day each making a
total of $4,000 in all precincts.
1t is probable that $4,000
will be paid out for handling
ballot boxes and $1,000 for
rent of voting places. Print
ing the official ballots cost
$500 and sample ballots ST.
900. The cost of printing
sample ballots is estimated at
the higher figure because they
were printed in the various
counties, while the official bal
lots were all furnished by one
printing establishment. The
notice of the election and the
printing of the amendments in
thirty-eight newspapers of the
state cost approximately Sl,-
900. Incidentals will amount
to at least $1,000,
1t is believed that these es-
Inmates are conservative and
that the total of $4,000 rep
|resents fairly we'll the cost of
this election to the taxpayer.
This indicates an average of
less than $1,000 for each
county. 1t is known, however,
THAT in some counties the cost
will run nearly $4,000 for
holding a general election. 1t
is probable, therefore, that the
cost will exceed the estimates
given.

THAT NEW COLONIAL
TION SCHEME

Ever since it was known
that H. C. Williams was TAX
ing options on land around Es-
tancia, as mentioned in this
paper a month or more ago,
there has been much specula-
ton as to just what would
come of it, and since the Cali
fornia parties for whom Mr.
Williams is acting brought a
few Japs here on a sight-see.
ing tour, there has been still
more talk as to whether OF
not it was planned to plant
colony of Japs here.
The Albuquerque Journa
has been voicing some anti-Jal
propaganda, and this helps tt
keep the talk going.
There is nothing official tt
be had on the subject, ant
Everyone is at liberty to d
his own guessing.
The inquiries made by thi
paper have been met with nor
committal answers, and we re
|gard it as Improbable to il
dulge in speculation on tn
subject.
The plans of the partit
back Of these option purcha
es will develop in due cours
and when there is anythin
definite to be communicate
lon the subject the readers
this paper will be informed.

As A HEALTH
RESORT

Every person who has lived
in the Estancia valley ought
to be a missionary for the
country on the health ques-
ton, on humanitarian grounds
if for no other reason.
The Estancia valley is men,
toned, not because it is the
only place, but because it is
one of the good places. As
a matter of fact, the climatic
advantages Of the mountain
country for persons with lung
trouble, or those -predisposed
to such trouble, is much the
same everywhere except in the
matter of altitude. And one
finds higher or lower altitude
in the mountain country with
out travelling very far. For ex-
ample, the Rio Grande valley
just west of the Manzano
mountains, is nearly two thou
sand feet lower than the Es-
tancia valley.
One point that seems per-
fectly self-evident to the writ
er is that healthseekers would
do better to not crowd into the
cities. The open country
wher a physician can be con-
suited conveniently, or a small
town, is preferable.
But the main point, and one
that cannot be too strongly
dwelt upon, is that predis-
posed persons should seek the
benefit of change of climate
while they are yet only pre-.
disposed-not after they are
in the last stages of tubercu.
losis.
In the minds of those who
have come here too late with
those whose lives they wishec
to save there recurs over ane
over again the refrain, IF
had but known what l know
now, l would have come sew
eral years sooner"
Any person who has beer
losing in vitality and strength
for a considerable time is ii
danger and should at once
seek a high and dry climate
And it is a mistake to sup
pose that such a person need'
a hot climate. If the body il
kept warm, cold has no ba(
effect on a tubercular; in fac
cold air sometimes seems tt
have a tonic effect.
But as to heat and cold, tn
mountain country can furnisl
the degree to suit the person
The main thing is the dry
pure, air, and this is to b
found everywhere except il
localities where large irrigat
ed tracts load the air wit
moisture by evaporation.

THE CHIN e Sc

Chicago Tribune-The Chinese are
reaping the harvest of their policy
They have chosen to develop on their
own peculiar lines. They have made
a religion of the past and challenged
the law of change. They have become
great merchants and preferred to
trade for peace rather than fight for
it. The soldiers trade they have
scOrned and the patriots duty of de-
fense. A nation of 300,0OO,00O, pos
sessing enormous latent resources,
they have preferred to rely for safety
upon the balance of other nations
forces, the conflict of other nations
wills, rather than upon their own
strength. Pacifsts must admire this
policy, for it is virtually what they
us cannot have much respect for it or
much sympathy for the Chinese. They
have many good qualities, we recog
nize, but they lack others we instinc-
lively honor and would keep alive in
ourselves. We do not want to rely up
on other peoples virtues or other peo
pies weaknesses for our protection
We want to rely upon our own
strength. We are willing to pay the
price of independence. The Chinese
have not been.

imposed upon small part of the pop.
ulation the duty and burden OF sup
porting the government This is the
theory which guided the late demo-
cratic congress in enacting our pres
ent tax laws. II stands opposed TO
many other theories, fiscal, economic
and political, which experienced and
thoughtful students of taxation have
advanced and held with good deal
of iirmness. II is our own belief that
a more general and equitable distrl-
button of the burden of government
cost would be sounder, juster, better
for both government and people, since
it would inspire the whole body of
citizens with a keener and more in
telligent interest in methods of pub
lie administration; it would remove
the obvious danger of cultivating in
the minds of the great mass of the
people the feeling that any work, no
matter how costly, could be undertak-
en- by the government, since some
body else, not they, would pay the ex-
pense. Justly and equitably distrib-
uted the burden would everywhere be
easily borne and every citizen would
feel that the affairs of government
were his affairs. That, it seems to ds,
is as it should be.

TAX DISTRIBUTION

New York Times--The country is
prepared for, but the republican con
gress may not readily assent to, the
presidents assumption that the main.
stays of our revenue system will
henceforth be the income tax, the ex-
cess-profits tax, and the estate tax. -
All these the president thinks can be
so adjusted as ito yield an adequate
return and yet not constitute a too
grievous burden on the taxpayer" The
apparent basis of this suggestion is
the theory that political convenience
in laying and collecting taxes for the
country's recenues should determine
their source. The income taxes, ex-
cess profits taxes. and estate taxes
