COST OF GOVERNMENT
IN STATE OF NEW MEXICO

The total cost of government in
New Mexico cannot be given ac-
Curately, says the New Mexico Tax
Review, because of the lack of any
central supervision of the finances
OF incorporated cities and towns II
is estimated conservatively that
| $SOO,0O0 is the total amount of pay
ments for city government, $S,0OO,0O0
for county government and $3,0O0,0OO
for state government, making the
total cost of government approxim-
ately $8,S00,M0 of which $6750OOO
was paid from taxes and the remain.
der $l75O,00 from sales OF bonds,
income from state and industrial
lands, federal aid. licenses, permits
interest on deposits, fees and mis-
cellaneous sources.
The payments made through state
departments, boards and institutions
amounted in the sixth fiscal year
ending November 80, 1919, to $685.
5l885 distributed as follows:
General Government $2929l6l0
Protection to Person and Property.
including Regulation of Busine IS
$3lS,86S.46.
Development and Conservation of
Natural Resources, l6o,97476.
Highways 547O7i.57.
Charities, Hospitals, Corrections,
374,32l68.
Education, $ol0,s87.46.
Miscellaneous, $l087867.
Interest on and Redemption .of
State Debt, $2l5.046.97.
Trust Funds, $4S0,02o00
Agency Transactions, $698,836.l8.
Total $3,o88, ,5l8Ss.
Payments to trust funds and on
account OF agency transactions should
be deducted from the total payments
in estimating the cost of govern
ment In the agency transactions are
included the apportionments of the
current school funds. BY deducting
these two items. we arrive at the
estimate Of approximately 100000
as the cost of state government,
similarly from the total payments
made through counties. there is de-
Quoted the payments to. the state and
to Municipalities leaving something
over S5.0O0000 as the total payments
through county agencies. Thus, with
the estimate of sS0O.OO0 as the ag-
gregate payments by city govern
ments, it is estimated that the total
cost of government in New Mexico
is about $8.5O0O00.

CIMARRON DISTRICT
MAKING FINE PROGRESS

The Cimarron section in Colfas
County has wonderful agricultural al
and mineral resources according to
Jonathan II Wagner. Superintendent,
of Public instruction. He attended

CROP CONDITIONS
WEEK ENDING JUNE 18th

The week was a favorable one
with moderate to rather high tenn
peratures and scattered thunder
storms. mostly in east and southeast
counties. Crops continue rapid growth
generally and ranges are in good
to excellent condition, with stock
dong we'll. Winter wheat is near
ing harvest in eastern counties, with
unusual promise, and spring wheat
oats, corn, beans, kafir, sorghums
and fodder crops are making rapid
progress. Some replanting of corn
and beans has been done. because
of the recent frost, but mostly .hese
crops have recovered or were un-
damaged, and cultivation is general
First cutting of alfalfa in northern
counties promises to be light.

A number of other projects are in
the preliminary stage and are being
worked out as rapidly as possible.
The New Mexico Highway Depart
ment has used all possible speed
since Federal aid in road construc-
tion was available to hurry import
ant projects. 1t may be noted that
nearly all the projects are short, but
difficult and costly TO build The
character OF the construction of
Federal aid projects is required by
the government to be substantial,
no aid being given to construction
of the cheaper class.
With the increased office and field
forces of the highway department
many new projects will be worked
out The new legislation also pro-
vides adequate funds to carry into
effect much needed difficult and
costlier construction on sections of
the state highway system.

them to meet the high cost Of living.
These union leaders have told the
President that they must either have
higher wages or he must reduce the
cost of living. The Director General
OF Railroads has pointed out to the
employees that any further increases
in their wages, after the very heavy
increase of the past year, would only
result in increasing the cost of all
production. and so raising the prices
OF all necessities.
Government officials who are sim
cerely DESTROYS of adequately copeing
with the situation brought upon by
war prices, and helping all working
people to earn adequate wages. point
out that the bulk of all cost of pro-
duction in this country is the cost of
labor, and that every increase in
wages raises the cost Of production,
and so raises prices to the consum-
ing public. They show that the coun.
try will never get on a normal basis
OF prices by continuous increases in
wages, which simply raise all prices
higher. Some Of the more broad
gagged labor leaders are of the same
opinion, and they are pointing out to
their followers that constant increases
in wages only react against the wage
corners, and in effect make them
profteers on each other. But these
