WHAT THE GERMANS DID.

state is being robbed by the gasoline
manufacturers in two ways:
/. The price of gasoline is outra-
geously high. The retailer in Albu-
querque must pay more for his gas
than the El Paso retailer sells his gas
for, The difference in freight rates
do not Justify this discrimination.
?. The gas here would not be per-
mitted in any state where there is in
spection. At least that is the infor-
nation given the Journal by automo-
bilists.
The purpose at Santa Fe is to raise
the grade of gasoline and reduce the
price. At least one company which
sells a vast amount of gasoline in this
state has retained attorneys to fight
the bill, and to fight its enforcement
should It pass,
OF course, the success of the in
spection, in securing for the state
better gasoline will depend entirely
upon the honesty, industry and effici-
ency of the inspector, Only one su-
pcrYising inspector should be ap-
pointed. The proposition in some
quarters to have one inspector in each
judicial district should he defeated
The expense would not be justified
and the people of the state are look
ing for results, not for offices for lame
ducks.
The whole inspecting business should
be placed IN the hands of Il clear
headed, honest, efficient business
man. If any other sort of inspection
is attempted, the republican party
will invite defeat at the next election
The proposed tax on moving pic
ture shows should be carefully con-
sdered before it is included in a rev.
enuo bill. The federal tax on such
shows is now exceedingly heavy. and
it will be heavier under the new fed
eral revenue law. This tax falls
largely upon poor people who find in
the picture shows their only oppor-
tunitios for amusement. entertain
ment and recreation. The flve-cent
houses have already gone to ten cents,
and the ten-cent houses to twenty.
With pretty accurate knowledge of
the net incomes of the picture houses
in Albuquerque, the Journal states UNI
hesitatingly that the increased prices,
made necessary by the federal taxes
and the increased cost of the films,
has so diminished attendance that
few picture houses IN the state are
making dollar more than expenses.
Most of them are losing money. If
the tax proposed by Governor LARA
zolo is added, nearly all of them will
have to 90 out of business.
These picture shows. in addition to
providing much-needed recreation and
amusement, are most valuable as edu-
Gators. The government of every
country so found them during the
war. The people of every community
are coming to so appreciate them in
times of peace.

THE GOVERNORS TAX PROGRAM.

Governor Larrazolo has issued an
outlines methods by which the reve-
nues of the state may be raised,
Nearly every recommendation is wise
ly based.
1t was only possible a few days ago
for the Journal to learn what was
taken in taxes by the federal govern
ment from this state last year, The
total expenses of the state government
last year was i'll round numbers, fiji
teen hundred thousand dollars. The
federal government collected from
this state two million five hundred
thousand dollars. This is the state
ment made by the collector of internal
revenue, and has nothing to do with
revenues paid by tariff taxes at the
ports, by railroad and sleeping car
tickets and by increased postal rates.
The probabilities are that the fed
eral government last year raised from
all sources not less than four million
dollars from New Mexico.
The governor proposes income and
inheritance taxes. This is wise. be-
cause such taxes will, raise large
amount of revenues from persons who
now pay nothing fer the privileges
they enjoy as investors in or as citi-
zens of New Mexico.
Strange as it may seem. tax on
gasoline, with inspection would re-
suit in a large revenue to the state,
and would at the same time improve
the quality of gasoline and would re-
duce the price. This paradox is ac-
counted for on the ground that this

Chronic CONSUMPTION.

There are people who never have a
movement of the bowels without it is
produced by cathartic. Most of
them have brought that condition on
themselves by the use OF mineral
waters and strong cathartics that take
too much water out of the system and
aggravate the disease they are meant
to relieve. A mild laxative tonic like

hardly realize has been produced by

TEETH TO THE LAW

-rt> ENDLETON'S new traffic
ID regulations, in effect not
more than two months,
are already in need of addi-
tions, the city council decided
Wednesday night. The latest
proposal is to make it a mis-
demeanor for one vehicle to
overtake another, going in the
same direction at street inter-
section.
What Pendleton needs, how
ever. is not more traffic laws so
much as some teeth to the law
it has. There is no penalty ex-
cept a money fine for VIOLA
tions. 1t is at present impos-
sible. under the ordinance, to
sentence a man to jail for viola
ton of the city traffic rules.
There are cases in every city
where a Jail sentence has a
salutory effect on reckless dri-
vers. -
As long as few dollars will
compensate for violation of the
laws there will continue to be a
problem before the city Off
cials. Teeth to the law will
make the city streets safer for
both vehicles and pedestrians.

EQUITABLE RATES

m FFORTS of the opposition
VI in the Columbia River
basin rate hearing are
very much like trying to force
water to flow up hill. The re-
presentatives of Seattle and the
Puget Sound railroads would
defy Newton and the principles
of gravity and they challenge
the wisdom of remarks made
by James j. Hill, empire build
er, in their efforts to defeat the
justice that is due the inland
empire shippers.
On what reasonable grounds
they base their claim for the
same rate to Seattle as to Port
land is hard to see. The aver
age distance from 10 inland
empire points to Seattle is 30S
miles, while to Portland it is
26O miles, a difference of ac-
tual mileage alone of 48 miles.
These figures do not take into
consideration that the Portland
haul is down grade all the way,
while to Seattle a haul l 1 times
as steep as the maximum along
the Columbia River must be
made over most of the 308
miles. Should the Portland
rates thus be based on the cost
of the haul to Seattle? Common
sense would not so dictate.
Freight rates along the At
lantic seaboard are not equal
lied for all ports. They are
based on distance and haul.
They should be based that way
in the Pacific Northwest when
the interstate commerce COM
mission. makes its decision.
Portland should have a lower
rate than either Puget Sound,
Grays Harbor or Astoria. AS
toria, in turn, is entitled to a
rate less than that to the sound,
because it is at the end of a
water grade haul, although
slightly further from the inland
empire than Seattle.
So far, all that Seattle can
advance is that its commercial
and its facilities as
seaport will be injured by \
equitable rates. Justice must
fall in one place or the other,
and the farmers and shippers
of this section seem to be more
in need of-justice right now
than the Seattle business men.
