RETURN OF THE BUFFALO

The statement that there are near
ly 1000 buifaloes in North America
is agreeably surprising, considering
that il was only few years ago that
the Systematic efforts were inaugur-
ated to preserve this Interesting and
valuable animal from extinction.
Within the memory of men now liv-
ing the buffalo roamed in herds that
would cover stretch of prairie to
the horizon, and the furs were the
commonest Of carriage robes. Hunt
ing them was pitifully easy, and the
market for hides invited their slaugh-
ter. Thirty years ago, when the gov
ernment made its first buffalo census,
only some 400 were found. The gov
ernment followed private enterprise
in attempting to rescue the buffalo
from the fate Of the dodo. And at
the present time, according to the
estimate Of the Department Of Agri-
culture, two-thirds Of the buffaloes
in the United States are in private
ownership or municipal parks, There
are some 5000 in ell, including those
reared on the governments reserva-
tions, while Canada has between
5000 and 1000. In order that the
propagation Of the species may be
further encouraged COngtess has au-
thorized the Agricultural Department
to give or loan from the public herds
to geological societies or municipali-
ti's.

CLOVIS ENTERTA|NS
OZARK TRA|LERs

Clovis had as her guests last Friday
evening and night Col. Harvey, head
OF the Ozark Trails and his delega-
tion. Also with the crowd were del
cations from Pittsburgh, Kansas,
Springfield, Mo-, and other places.
A delegation from the Chamber Of
Commerce met the party in Portales
and from which place they were pill
oted to Clovis and dined at the Har-
vey House. Later, after the revival
meeting had closed at the Elks Aud
itorium, big booster road meeting
was held in honor Of the visitors.
This meeting was presided over by
c. W. Harrison, president Of the
Chamber Of Commerce. Rev. |. N.
Jett introduced Col. Harvey and paid
the veteran road builder some beauti-
full tributes. Col. Harvey gave an in
teresting address in which he out
lined the plans and intentions Of the
Ozark Trails and stated just how the
different network Of roads were
formed. The Ozark Trails delega-
tion was invited here by Clovis in
order to induce them to designate a
route through Clovis in addition to
the one running south from here.
The delegation went to Roswell over
the southern route and all the speak
ers Friday night were loud in their
praise for the roads up this way,
freely expressing the opinion that our
highway was superior to that run
ming along the southern road. Col.
Harvey paid an excellent tribute to
d. w. Jones, highway engineer, who
was instrumental in building the road
running south from here to the
Chaves County line.
After Col. Haveys address the
chairman called on several Of the Wis
..ors present who made interesting
addresses about good roads and ex-
pressed appreciation for the hospit-
able way they were entertained in
Clovis. An especially interesting
talk was made by l.. A. Gillett of
Santa Fe, State Highway Engineer,
who gave some interesting facts and
figures relative to road building in
New Mexico. Mr.. Gillett is an ex-
ceptionally efficient official and has
under headway constructive road
program in the state that, IL kept
up for few years, will give the
Sunshine State some roade that we
will be proud Of. Mr.. Gillett ex-
planned the federal aid idea and his
talk was very beneficial to all. This
section Of the state appreciates very
much the work that the state high
way commission has been instrument
tai in having done here. Mr.. Gillett
also in his talk explained how the
road money was divided between the
different localities. This is accom-
plished in an equitable manner, all
sections getting funds in the same
proportion-that revenues are derived
from the counties.
The road meeting Friday night is
looked upon as an exceptionally pro
fitable one and everyone feels that
Il will result in branch Of the Ozark
Trails being mapped out through
here.
A big delegation from Portales was
up attending the meeting Friday
night and that town as well as Tex
ico-Farwell is working in hearty CO.
operation with Clovis in having the
Ozarl, Trails branch route to come
this way.
At the close Of the meeting a res
olution offered by !. N. Jett thanking
Johnson's band for music furnished
welcoming the Ozark Trailers was
unanimously adopted.

O'C0NNOR HENNESSY MAKES PLEA
FOR JUST SYSTEM OF TAXATION,
VIRTUALLY ASKS FOR SINGLE TAX
In Remarkable Speech ExStae Senator Alive interests of New
Jersey Declares in Favor Of More Equitable System and
Says Salvation of the State Depends on New Movement
GENERAL WELFARE DEMANDS A CHANGE

At the recent dinner of the Jersey
City Chamber of Commerce at the
Downtown Club, in Jersey City, for
mer Senator c. O'C. Hennessy OF
Hackensack declared that the prob
lem of establishing a just basis for
taxation in New Jersey was the most
important that could confront the law
makers of the state. The so called
problem of reconstruction in its final
analysis was a problem of how, with
out paternalism or socialism, to pro-
vide means for the employment of la
Dor and capital on conditions that
would yield fair wages for every man
seeking employment and fair earnings
for dollars seeking Investment.
The present taxation system in New
Jersey, as elsewhere, but particularly
in New Jersey. was apparently de-
signed to discourage manufacturing
industries that would give employ
ment to labor and capital alike and
to put penalties upon enterprises and
thrift
Under present taxation conditions
New Jersey manufacturers, Mr.. Hen
messy said. We're under distinct dis
advantage as compared with those of
Pennsylvania with regard to taxation.
In Pennsylvania there was no taxa
ton. upon machinery or equipment OF

noon by Garrett and George Lydecker

The remains had been placed in the
woods before the storm last week. for
OF Thursday there had been a grass
fire in that spot and the flames had
singed the stockings ON the baby's feet.

would indicate that the infant was

knitted jumpers.

factories or upon goods in process of
manufacture. In New jersey, if tile
assessors lived up to their legal OBJ
legations, they We're obliged to assess
for taxation all machinery equipment
and material in process of manufac-
ture as we'll as personal property of
every kind wherever found in the
state. Where this policy did not pro-
mote neglect of duty on the part of
the assessor it tended to promote per-
jury on the part of the taxpayer and,
generally speaking, acted as deter
rent to the free production of wealth
among the citizens of the state, which
should be the aim of enlightened gov
eminent. In the great manufacturing
cities of Scranton and Pittsburgh not
only were machinery equipment and
goods free of taxation, but laws were
in effect tending by gradual steps to
wipe out assessment upon factory
buildings and concentrate the taxes of
manufacturers only upon the value of
the land occupied by their factories
If New Jersey was TO continue as
great manufacturing state, Mr.. Hen
messy said, the leaders of business and
industry must wake up to the neces-
sfty of getting enlightened tax laws
