Canadian wheat seeding Seeding has
hardly ever been completed under more
favorable conditions than now prevail in
western Canada, according to private
dispatch from the land department of the
United Grain Growers. Throughout the
prairie provinces the crop has gone. into
a seed bed thoroughly prepared and one
with an ample supply of moisture for
early growth. Wheat on some farms
near Brooks, Alberta the report adds, is
already six inches high and all wheat is
above the ground at Claresholm, where
also the seeding of other coarse grains was
completed this week. The farm movement
is being greatly stimulated by the pros
poets farmers believing that If the pres
emit favorable conditions continue the
greatest crop in the history will be har-
vested.

TOWN OWNERS HEDGE.

you cant keep good man down.
nor a good town. AT Alamorgodo
the tide of oil men, biologists and
land locators is growing. The town
company, which for many years had
been unloading holdings below oriGi-
nal prices. recently sent a representa-
tive from Galveston to size IN local
conditions and the cause of so many
recent sales by its local agent. The
result was the cancellation of a II
pending deals and the withdrawal of
lots and acreage from the market.
Several years ago these Galveston
owners of the town company sold the
water system and the light plant at
AlamOgordo to the municipality, but
could get no buyers for vacant real
estate.
The Alamogordo News says that a
marble company has put twenty men
into the quarries, where blocks two
feet thick and fifteen feet square are
taken out. Several carloads of ma
chinery' have been placed since the
recent sale of an interest in the mar
bic bluff was made.
Near the White Sands, visible from
Alamorgodo, company !sa erecting
settlement tanks from which soda
taken from a lake will be shipped to
FL Paso for refinement. The industry
will have pay roll of $500 per month
at first and grow. This sum does not
include the cost of operating ten
trucks that will be used in hauling
the product to the railway station.

LARRAZOIO'S WISE MOVE.

Governor Larrazolo is making a
positive and intelligent effort to Sc
cure the public lands for the states
in which they are located Ihis
should have been done long ago
Particularly should all thee publlc
lands be turned over to the state Of
New Mexico
Uncle Sam owns forty-one per cent
of the entire domain of this state
He expects New Mexico to maintain
public schools for the children of this
state. but he doesn't pay one penny
of taxes on his vast holdings to that
end. He expects the state to pantain
good roads through his lands, but he
does not pay a dollar of taxes to as
slst the state in construction or main
tenance.
Secretary Lane expects the state to
assist in the soldiers Settlement work
and the state will assist-but he
doesn't plan to have an acre of the
public lands used for furthering the
scheme.
New Mexico has been badly treated
by the United States. Our school
lands do not compare in value with
the school lands granted to other
states when they were admitted to
the union. A grant of six million
dollars in cash was given to Oklaho-
ma, in addition to land grants one
acre of which is worth fifty of the
lands granted to New Mexico.
The public lands given to South
Dakota are now appraised at seventy
one million dollars far more than the
value of all the public lands of New
Mexico.
All of the public land states want
the lands for their own use. There
are no lands left that are suitable
for demonstrating, Settlers who come
here to take up enlarged homesteads
are doomed to disappointment, make
failure and go away to knock the
state.
If the twenty million acres now
open to homesteading were turned
over to the state for lease and sale,
eventually permanent fund of from
forty million to fifty million dollars
would be created.
The interest on this sum would
amount to not less than two million
dollars annually. A portion of the
land could be sold and the whole of
the proceeds could be invested in
Soldiers Settlement work. 1t would
vastly increase the taxable assets of
the state.
The remainder could he used for
endowment for roads and schools and
the lands sold would produce taxes
and those not sold could be leased.
The effort of Governor LarrazolO
should have the hearty support of
every citizen of New Mexico. 1t would
put us on Easy street"

Already we begin to appreciate the
truth of the statement that he who
would save himself must forget him.
self and give himself During the
war many private enterprises were
adjourned, and We know now the
good that comes and the power we
have for good through common action
and cooperative effort.
In good cause two and two often
count more than four. The outlook
for fundamental social progress never
was better than today. Unity, CO.
operation joint effort for a common
social purpose-we begin to under
stand the meaning of those terms
today. The doors are opened to many
forward looking things, because of
the service the boys gave so freely
The men who went to the front and
to the camps did their part we'll
we must do ours now. We were back
of them heart ana soul during the
war. We cannot permit ourselves to
fall short in the last Liberty loan of
gratitude and thanksgiving that the
war is ended and we have the victory,
We stand these days with heads
uncovered and in reverent gratitude
to the boys who kept their rendezvous
with death. They offered uD their
youth to liberty--we gave the promise
of our support. and we must make it
good. We want to do our full part
toward establishing the new birth of
liberty which shall not perish from
the earth"
OF course, we will finish the job
and we will do it right. 1t is the
very least that we can do to keep
friendly with ourselves.

gard. 1t was a mistake to impose the
canteens upon the Y. M. C. A., and
the organization is to be congratulated
on being relieved of the work by
General Pershing, who commends it
for having served the army better
than could have been expected" The
public retains its confidence in the

or defects in its service were natural

COMMISSIONS PoWERLEss.

The Texas railway commission used
to keep railroad managers dancing on
a hot griddle, and succeeded IN get
ting good service with plenty of trains
and local accommodations But the
state now finds things run differently.
This week the commission had a
hearing in an effort to secure restora-
ton of passenger trains cut out at
the commencement of war.
The regional director 3. +. Bush,
was called before the commission and
opposed the return to better service.
He objected to any increase except
in case some community was found
to he actually suffering.
The director stated that not a sing
gle line in Texas earned last month
enough for government requirements
The total loss for 1918 of ale lines
managed by the government was
1925, 100000, and heavy deficiencies
occurred each month in 1919. Mr.
Bush declared one billion dollars if
now needed for betterments and inn
[ provements. The demands can be
met only by further rate increases OF
taxation, the government official
stated.
1t was made plain that the Texas
commission can no longer give orders
and secure obedience, if govern
ment official says nay. That is true
also in New Mexico, where communi-
ties are asking for new depots and
other facilities for business.

IMPROVING PUBLIC SERVICE.

A we'll Informed man made the re-
mark the other day that the govern
ment gets less loyalty from its work
ers than any other employer. Many
public service employees will dispute
this assertion. Still, when you con-
slider the ramifications of politics in
all public work, there IS some basis
for the remark. There is a strong
ploye to feel that he must hold his
job by the arts of popularity rather
than by substantial achievement.
Even if a man does hold a job
through political friendship, he should
have the sense to recognize that the
public is going to examine his work
with a critical eye. If he wants to
keep his work permanently. he must
hasten to study the best business
models. He should never be satisfied
until he has made his office a model
of efficiency.
Some public employees feel that
even if they do work hard to show
results, they will get no credit. Yet
they are part of a big organzation
that must make good with the people
in order to accomplish what they
wish.
The same man quoted above also
remarked that since the government
took over the railroads, he had found
railroad employees much more dis
courteous. Perhaps others would say
just the opposite. But if the idea he
comes general that any class Of en-
ploycs under the government is not
meeting the public helpfully ana TCr-
forming its duties with efficiency,
Mey will get little help from the
public when they are looking for
favOrs.
The people do recognize good work
in public service much more than
most public servants realize. Every
one is faithfully served in his contact
with a public official forms a favor
able impression of the work of that
office. He gives out that favorable
impression to others. In that way a
competent official gradually builds up
a reputation Independent of political
pulls and changes.

ROOSEVELT ROADS.

over in Roosevelt county the COM
missloners, according to a local paper
that approved of the stroke, fixed the
salary of the new highways superin-
tendent at $1.00 per year, This was
because the superintendent was ap-
pointed by the governor. The Por-
tales Journal hints that the proposed
two million dollar road bond issue
should be voted down unless the east
ern counties know Just how much Of
the fund would fall to that section.
Not very much, perhaps, to Roose-
welt county, if the people there are
content with a dollar-a-year superin-
tendent and dollar highways. Other
democratic boards are fixing salaries
for the superintendents in accordance
with the spirit of the law, and are
also getting alotments from the state
highway commission. because of the
ardor shown for good roads.
However Roosevelt county appears
to have no cause for complaint. The

it is drawing travel that way, and the

A NEW CRIME CREATED.

There seems to be misrepresentation
in some quarters regarding the legis-
lation at the recent session in Santa
Fe for limiting the authority of mu-
nici ,yalities to incur Indebtedness
Recently there was a concerted eff
firt in several towns and cities of the
state to avoid bond elections by issu-
ance of certificates of Indebtedness
In some cases the certificates were
issued against public utilities owned
by the municipality.
