Authorization was given the execu-
tive committee to curb unsanitary con-
ditions in Palestine, conditions hamp-
ering the country's well-being and the
welfare of the people now living there.
An agency by the conventions
mandate, is to be created for the pur-
pose Of stimulating business enter
prises in Palestine, and to bring in
outside capital if necessary.
Another agency will conduct an i'm
port business that the needed supply
of machinery, implements and raw
materials may be increased.
The delegates to the Zionists' con-
vention have gone home convinced that
they have cleared the way for the es-
tablishing of the Jewish state in Pal
estine as soon as the Turkish treaty
is made matter of public history.
They believe that the year 1920 will
witness an unprecedented Jewish rem
aissance in the United States. Jewish
literature, Hebrew music and all
forms Of Semitic culture will be reviv.
ed as a part of Zionist propaganda. In
addition to the cultural work under
taken by the convention for the next
year numerous committees have been
appointed for the purpose of lining
up American-Jewish financial inter-
ests and co-ordinating the various
Jewish organizations in the country.
Thursdays session in the Auditor
ium Theater revealed that the Zion
lists are confronted by a number Of
difficulties within their own ranks in
putting over their ideal of a Jewish
homeland. Three or four rival organ
izations exist who have to date re-
fused TO submerge themselves under
the Zionist banner. Also there is a
strong feeling among orthodox rabbis
that Zionism is weaving from relig-
ion to politics. An equally strong anti
Zionist feeling also exists among the
Reform Jews. These argue that Amer.
lea is the best field for the develop.
ment Of the Jew and Americanism
should be his highest ideal.

paid a salary. The present plan would
be far better and less expensive. From
the time the tax commission was Gre
ated men of the class that do not
look for salaries have been on it.,
When a salary of say $4,000 is created
for the chairman, who is to give all
his time to the work. a $1,000 a year
man will get it, in all probability.
Then there is to be $500 for a
public health officer, and lot of
other salaried positions, needed by the
state about as much as dog needs
two tails.
The men, who get the salaries will
be pleased, because it will be con-
strued by them as recognition OF par
ty services, but when the taxpayer
looks over his receipts, and thinks OF
the things his family needed and
could not buy. he is not going to be
pleased, Furthermore, no party that
squanders money will long have OPP
portunity to squander it.

TO TIE OLD MAN.

Because you spanked me when the in
dulSent nurse folk
Were fain to spare the rod and
spoil the child;
And, later, dashed me with your tongue
when worse folk
Into unlovely paths my steps be-
guiled;
Because you never nagged nor lost
your temper
Not even when Ibid it to annoy
Because you taught me not to whine
and whimper---
To be a sportsman+-and remain a
boy;
Because you event without'-and
never grumbled--
In your young days, left | should
play the fool;
Because you led me by the mere ex-
ample
OF your own life, to love the ways
you trod,
Because your goods" were always "up
to sample"
Designed to please, not man alone,
but God;
Because you do not Sc UP for Scion,
Because you make mistakes and
you're wrong.
Because you never put the slightest
rolf on,
Nor beat the loud self-advertising
gong;
Because your given word has never
failed me,
Because you dearly love bit of fun,
No doubt of you has ever yet assailed
me- ~
you are my Dad; thank God, am
your son. A. Stripping.

TINE FOR ECONOMY.

1t is not easy to come down from a
level of war expenditure to that of
peace. Too many interests are af-
fected. The people get used to the
easy spending of money. Millions
are tossed around the way thousands
ment is at present running on very
costly scale. Too many of the war
expenditures are running along un-
checked. 1t is easier to set streams
of national waste going than to stop
them.
There is no use in wasting money
to keep people at work. If employ
ment must be provided, 1t would bet
ter be upon public works of perma-
nent value, like highways and land
improvement. The people who have
been doing war work must at some
time have gap between their old
jobs and the new.
The early spring, when farm and
highway work are just beginning,
is an excellent time to make the break
and stop the war expenditures, De-
mobilization should be rushed. The
quicker the men get home the less
the war cost.
Our legislatures bodies have always
been free spenders. They may talk
and believe in economy, but they do
not usually include many men of large
business experience. When a man of
little business efficiency is placed in
big position, he is the freest spend
er of all. He has never acquired the
habit of close analysis of costs.
What is true of the nation is true
of New Mexico. In this state the
mania is the creation of salaried Of
fees. There is bill in for reduc-
ton of the tax commission from five

SPENDING THE ROAD MONEY.

An enormous amount of money is
to be used this year in highway inn
provcment. The total is to be spent
by the states and the Z. s. govern
ment has been estimated at from
$500, 100000 to $500,OOO.O0O. This is
fine.
The state Of New Mexico is keenly
interested in road Improvement and
will do it's share in this national move
ment. 1t means a permanent addi-
ton to the industrial equipment. and
must tend to reduce the cost of get
ting foods to market
But where so vast sum of money
is to be paid out, exceptional care is
needed to see that none of 1t is vast
ed. There will be plenty of people
looking for pickings out of this great
sum.
There will be a tremendous push
for contracts and jobs, 1t is legiti-
mate business, proposition for anyone
prises. They will attract the best en-
gineers and most practical road build
ers. And there will be others who
will try to work their way in on bluff,
tall talk. personal friendship, and
political influence.
There must be no scandals in hand
ling this great enterprise. This is no
place for handing out pork. This
money should be spent as pure busi-
ness proposition, and 1t should be

SITUATION DESPOTIC.

There are predictions, some of them
not by socialists or socialist sympa-
thizors-that the world is rushing to-
ward socialism. To read the reports
from Europe one would come to such
conclusion. Russia is gripped by So
cialism carried to its logical end. Ger
many is now socialistic, and the radi-
Gals are gaining rather than losing in
the struggle with the moderates.
What formerly was Austria is socialist,
and Italy is saturated with radicalism.
So with Spain. In France it is strong
and the organized workmen of Eng
land are more socialist than labor
union.
But socialism in this country is not
making Roadway, because socialism
and democracy are absolutely and IT.
reconcilablyIantagonistic. What is the
ideal of the despot? Absolute, UNI
questioning obedience on the part of
the individual to any and every order
coming from the autocrat.
What is the ideal of the socialist?
Absolute and entire ownership and
control by the state-whatever name
the state may be called by-of all
means of production and distribution,
and hence absolute and entire control
by the state of the individuals who
depend for their existence on those
means of production.
Thus socialism and despotsm are
twin brothers.
Modern socialism was born in des-
potic Germany. Modern democracy
was born in England and brought to
maturity in America. Democracy and
socialism have nothing in common. In
a truly democratic state socialism can
not be other than a breeder of discon-
tent and trouble.
As a trouble breeder, ii may rally to
its standard all radicals, whether they
believe in socialism or not. We have
the disconnected with us always Con-
structive discomfort makes for prog
ress, but socialism in q democracy
makes for destructive discomfort 1t
becomes as the cave of Adullam was
for David, a recruiting station where
everyone that was in distress, and
everyone that was in debt, and every
one that was discontinued, gathered
themselves unto him."
Whenever socialism shows signs of
gaining sufficient strength really to
control state or nation that is en-
joying the fruits of democracy, then
all true believers in democracy, of
whatever party affiliation, will unite
to overthrow the common enemy Of
democracy.
Whenever democracy and individ-
ualism have broken down from decay,
then the day of socialism my dawn,
but it will be militaristic social
ism of the Spartan and Prussian type,
that assures its people food, clothing
and shelter in order that they may be
ready to serve as cannon fodder.
There are higher and nobler things
in the world than food, clothing and
shelter Liberty of the individual is 4
priceless possession, and only sordid
materialism would barter that pos
session for mere bodily comfort.
So long as this country cherishes
and eXemplifies high ideals, there is
no danger that socialism will gain
control. Socialism will continue to eX-
list, but merely as a stimulant, 1t will
serve as warning TO capitalism, in
dividualism and democracy, showing
them the fate awaiting them unless
their activities are modified by an I'M
selfish love for the weak and the un-
fortunate.
