MUNICIPAL LEACUE:
WOULD QUASH TAX
COLLECTION FEES
Bill Favored By City Would
Provide for Direct Levy for
Payment Of County Officials
Salaries,

That cities will gain quite a bit of
additional revenue from one of the
bills now before the state legi 'ature
at Santa Fee is the belief of ! bars
of the New Mexico League of MI CT
palities, at whose suggestion the bill
was introduced.
This bill would do away with the 3
per cent collection charge made ty
county collecto for the COLLECTION of
taxes paid by city property owners. 1t
has been the custom of coupties to
place the collection charge in their
salary funds from which county Off
Gals were paid. The bill would pro-
vide for counties making a direct levy
for the payment of salaries instead
of taking the percentage of the taxes.
The league of municipalities legis-
lative program includes another bill
which would enable cities to make a
levy greater than mills for general
purposes. They are now limited by
law not to exceed that levy, and it is
said the cities of the state generally
have found that the limit does not
provide sufficient revenue. Under the
proposed law the limit would be raised
TO mills. This bill has been intro"
Guced.
A third bill, advocated by the
league, also is before the legislature.
This, unlike the other two, has moth
ing to do with finances, but deals only
with street paving 1t would amend
paving laws now in existence, s'mpli-
flying and facilitating the procedure
necessary for permanent street i'm
proyements, in the belief of its sup
porters.
These bills were included in the
program adopted ty the league at It's
meeting here in December along with
other suggested legislation which has
not so far made appearance in the
senate or house. These three, how
ever are believed to be the most inn
portant and the league is using its
fun influence to bring about their
passage. Only last week city officials,
belonging to the association, met at
Santa Fe to urge their enactment into
law.

STOCK RA|sERS
ASSOCIATION BIC
AID To INDUSTRY
Victor CuIberson President,
Points Out a Few of Accom-
pIiShments Of Organization
for Last Two Years,

Reviewing the larger accomplish
ments of the New Mexico Cattle and
Horse Growers association $)r Its
members and the cattle industry OF
the state, Victor Culberson, president,
points out that during the past two
years the organization has done the
following money-saving services for
the industry:
Secured a 10 per cent reduction of
valuation of all cattle in New Mexico,
for taxation purposes thus saving
every grower from four to five cents
a head.
Secured establishment of stock
driveways on all range areas of New
Mexico, with the setting aside of more
than 100000 acres for that purpose,
and giving access to all important
shipping points in the range country.
Averted raise in forest reserve graz
ing fees at a time when the Industry
could not stand any advance in cost
of ranges.
Secured reorganization of the New
Mexico mounted police
These four things alone, Mr.. Culber-
son points out, would justify the mem
bership cost to every cattle owner in
New Mexico for an indefinite period,
The officers and executive board OF
the association now are working upon
a program of legislation at Santa Fe
which will go far to solidify and sta
billie the industry everywhere in the
state.
The fourth annual convention of the
association will be held in the Crystal
opera house here on March 25, 26 and

GREAT FLOOD OF LIGHT
SHED ON White HOUSE
Novel Demonstration Of Candlepow.
er Witnessed by Many
Thousands.

| Washington last evening was given
opportunity to witness the develop
ment Of flood lighting" with cleo
tricity and the possibilities of night
Photography. The demonstration was
under the auspices of the National
Press Club, in cooperation with w.
Darcy Ryan Of the General Electric
Company. and chief of illumination OF
the Panama-Pacific international expo
sition of 1915, and the engineers Of the
United States army.
Thousands of Westinghouse were
attracted to the White House. on
which were thrown a combination OF
searchlights producing powerful
white light aggregating 100000
candlepower. The demonstration gave
an idea of the method used in
! London and Paris during the war to
search out a night marauding Jerry
so that anti-aircraft guns could take
shot at him. The glow of the lights
was visible in Maryland and Virginia
within fifty miles of Washington.
Prior to the big demonstration
members of the Press Club and

| of lighting since the days of the
| caveman. Mr.. Ryan was the lee
turer. The audience. including MEM
bers of the Presidents cabinet, and
! Army and Navy officials, saw the pic
lures.
Developments light from early
days was passed over quickly, and
most of the stereopticon views were
then confined to night pictures Of
the San Francisco exposition.
Following the lecture at the the
alter the audience went to the Ellipse
and the streets surrounding the White
House, where with thousands or
other persons they witnessed the
lighting of the executive building.
Mr.. Ryan directed the flood light
ing" of the White House, but actual
operation was carried out by en-
gineers of the War Department.

ABOLISH MONOPO[|ES,
LOUIS F. POST URGES
Assistant Secretary Of Labor
Would Permit Legitimate Trade
to Fright ITSELF"

Louis F. Post, assistant secretary of
labor. speaking last night in the civic
forum of Trinity Church on the high
cost Of living. declared that when
monopolies are abolished legitimate
trade will right itself.
"One of the most fundamental of
natural laws is this" Mr.. Post de-
clared, that human wants can only
be satisfied by human effort. Labor.
therefore. is the basic principle of
life.
Another Fundamental Law Cited.
Another fundamental law is that
every one tries to satisfy his wants
with the least labor of his own. This
Is the basic law of the cost of living.
1t is a law of human nature which
gives us specialization and trade, a
process which we call business. Spe-
cialization saves labor, so by trading
their products fairly among them
selves each worker is better off than
if he did not specialize. But labor
depends upon natural resources;
therefore no one in fairness can be
allowed to profteer in natural re-
sources"
Says Monopolies Want "Rake-of."
monopoly" continued the speaker.
"disturbs fairness by exacting rake
offs from the public. 1t exacts these
rake-offs principally through combi-
nations like the steel trust or the
packing trust, through private
ownership of highways like the rail-
roads. or through the holding out of
use of valuable lands"
But" concluded the assistant Sec
rotary, revolution is not the method
of changing anything in our govern
ment. Ours is the government of law.
The people can alter their laws peace
ably by the ballot in any way they
wish and whenever they wish. Minori-
ties cannot do this, but majorities
can"

MAI. F. P. SMITH BURIED
AT PLACE OF HIS BIRTH
Details of Death Not Correctly
Learned Until After Interment
at Norrisville, Md.

Maj F. Penrose Smith, retired, vet
eran officer of the. District National
Guard, who was killed by a street car
near Baltimore. has been buried at
his birthplace. Norrisville, Md.
Details of the death of Maj. Smith
were not correctly learned until after
the funeral. He was on vacation
from his duties at National Guard
headquarters, this city, and was on
his way to visit relatives at Norris
vile. He had passed through Balti-
more on his bicycle and had stopped
at the Four-Mile House. on the Belair
road, to put up for the night, but,
being unable to secure accommoda-
tions, he left his wheel and said that
he would go back to Baltimore on
the trolley. As he crossed the tracks
he was run down by a car coming
from town and instantly killed. 1t is
believed that his deafness. which was
contracted in the war with Spain.
was the cause of his failure to heed
the oncoming car.
Maj. Smith was sixty-three years
old and had been connected with the
local National Guard for about TWEEN
ty-f1ve years. After having spent
about twenty years in Maryland and
Virginia as school teacher and
later as newspaper PuOliSAcI, AC
came to Washington. enlisted in the
National Guard. and soon had charge
of the property accounts Of the
guard. His service in the guard
started August 3, 1896, when he en-
listed as a private in Company d.
5th Battalion. He was promoted to
corporal and sergeant in that organi-
cation. In 1898 he enlisted in the
LIST District Volunteer Infantry and
served as quartermaster sergeant of
Company L of that organization dur
ing the campaign in Cuba. He was
commissioned captain on November
10. 1899; and served as such 81 in in com com
until he was retired, May IA, 1903.
with the rank of major. When war
was declared against Germany he en-
deavored to be recalled to active
duty, but again his deafness. which
came from the Cuban fever. was
against him. He exhausted every
means at his command to enter the
Army during the war. and finally
iected for service as field clerk on
account of his physical condition.
