These efforts have resulted in entirely

BOYS AND GIRLS l. u

The boys and girls clubs of New
Mexico have made a very remarkable
showing during the past two years,
particularly in 1918, and every en-
enlargement should be given them to
assist and promote their worthy eff
forts.
The value of the products produced
and conserved during 1918 wal $751;
696.3l as given by the club members
who reported at the end of the year.
The production of 1917 was 26,9S5 50.
The cost Of production as given by
the 3,OS7 club members reporting in
1918 was $33,259A7 as compared with
$I0,398.36 in 1917. The profit over
cost of production including charges
for labor was in 1918, $59,436.84; in
1917, sI6,587 %. The average profit
per member reporting in 1918 was
S19.25. The average cost of super
vision was $500 or a net profit per
member Of $14.2l. In other words
club work constituted an investmen
which during the past year yielded
a dividend of nearly 300 per cent
These figures must not be taken as
the total value of products raised
or conserved by the members of the
clubs during 1918. The total enroll
ment as given includes only the club
members who actually commenced
work and were club members in July,
This number is 5,59l. Many of these
did as good work as those who SEM
in final reports. Each did a piece
of work worthy of mention. The
total number of boys and girls avail
able for club work in New Mexico
is 5000. If all available boys and
girls could be supervised and the
present standards of club work be
maintained in New Mexico the an
nual net income to the state would
re worth figuring.
All of the counties, with the ex-
ception of Flo Arriba, Mckinley, Lea,
and Luna, have had club work o n
in them this year. Colfax
County leads in the total number
of club members who finished, hav-
ing a total of $50. The next two
counties. are Union and San Miguel
totals Of 482 and 426 res
pectively. In value of products pro-
duced Union County is in the lead
with $~l7.4s6.25; San Miguel is second
with $l6,172.43; Colfax County 10 the
third with l 2,805.l9. The profit in
three counties is $l1,538 81; &c.
l58. 80; $9,038.47 respectively.

There was an advance of rs per
cent in range fees in 1917 and now
Il is proposed to add another big

The charges for running sheep and

been profitable to the states and
nation. ,
There is no excuse for advancing

He also says owing to unfavorabie

in Idaho than q year ago.
This is a time when sheep and wool

TINKERINC NOT IN DEMAND

The trade of the constitution tink-
r. has been generally discouraged
by the elections held in western
states this fall.
Il would be a good plan for men,
bers of the legislature to study the
election and see how many amend
ments failed
In three states proposed constitu-
tional conventions were voted down
and in most states every amendment
was defeated.
In few states was anything adopt
ed that was not in the direction Of
reducing taxation and protecting in
dustries.
Would.be lawmakers can save
themselves trouble and the state ex.
pense by not introducing too much
constitution tinkering for awhile.

HAS CONGRESS ADVOCATED?

During Roosevelt's Administration
the move was started to change the
plan under which western public
lands had heretofore been admins
tered.
This move was camouflaged under
term "conservation"-good vote bait.
The first conservation step was
withdrawal from entry of all lands
suspected of containing oil or coal.
Ever since then congress has been
considering the enactment of a leasing
bill which would permit development
of these lands but no action has
been taken.
Responding to plea for Sod
production oil operators sunk wells
a, hundreds of thousands of dollars
expense.
IF oil was struck our "oily" poll
ticans would Immediately withdraw
all surrounding land from entry az
a "conservation" measure for future
generations and leave the man who
and dry with no chance of securing
sufficient additional oil land to re-
pay him for expense of discovering
an oil bearing area.

Navy Department and Department
of Justice should be permitted to
dictate on matters entirely outside
their jurisdiction but these depart
ments have so far been successful
in blocking every move to remedy
the situation.
Criticism of Congress has been
withheld during the war but the war

GIVE MINING A CHANCE

Now that the war is over, many
restrictions on mining development
should be removed.
Owing to government orders large
producers were restricted and many
small producers suspended entirely.
Restrictions were necessary in
order to win the war, and the mining
industry responded with superb pa
triotism.
Thousands of skilled men and min.
ing engineers were taken out of de-
velopment work and sent to the
front to help win the war.
Thousands of mines suspended
production and development work to
meet the governments demand for
man-power.
These mines suspended financial
operations and closed up their pro-
perties until after the war and put
their money into the war.
All restrictions hindering legitim-
ate development should now be re-
moved and let the work of opening
iew mines 60 ahead.
