New Mexico's sons return from the

stewardship during their absence. For

industrial life of the commonwealth.
Virtually all patriotic and economic
agencies operating in the state, in

III The state council of defense al

legal advice when called upon to do
so by returned soldiers. The COM

is a pioneer along this line. having
recently completed a thorough survey
of the county with a view to ascer-
tanning the present available openings

The farm bureaus of the New

mechanic arts are doing valuable
work along the lines Of developing
the agricultural of the state
in order to provide work for soldiers.
A single operation of the farm bureau
in San Juan county netted the MEM
bers $4,000. In the same county the
bureau brought in $4,000 worth Of
registered cattle, special seeds and
high grade poultry. In Dona Ana
county the bureau is performing the
work of a half agricultural and cattle
raising associations. In Eddy county
the farm bureau mas had a cash value
of 1872, 900 a year. In San Miguel
county savings of over 100000 have
been effected. The operations con-

100000 Acres in Three Pro-

Albuquerque. N. M, Jan: 13.-Three

state and federal governments for

$40. Probable price after reclama-
ton, $500. Method of financing, gov

The reclamation service has not yet
expressed itself concerning the Rio
Qrande project. Two or thSee drain
age districts in the Albuquerque
region have been tentatively organ
lied, but definite action is being with
held until the. government makes a
decision. The removal Of ground
water, which lies at an average depth
OF three feet below the surface, is the
chief problem. The state engineers
Office has just completed a favorable
survey Of the valley and it is believed
that federal aid can be secured on
the showing made.
The Mesilla valley drainage plan is
part of the Elephant Butte dam pro-
ject Of the reclamation service. The
government is to build an open-cut
canal almost parallel to the Rio
Grande, at a cost of about $4,000, 900,

If Senator Borah wants

If Senator Borah wants a referendum on the league of Nations, and does represent 2, very intelligent and patriotic contituency," he can obtain a quick answer by resigning his toga and returning to Idaho for vindication. Perhaps his re- luctiance is due to recollec- ton of what happened to Sem ators Roscoe Conkling and Thos mas Collier Platt in New York in 1881.
 Had it not been for the veto of a Demcratic President and the insistence of Democratic Senators and Representatives, the disabled American soldiers of the World War would have gone a-begging as regards ade- quate vocational training. But the Republican party could have pointed to another exam pie of party efficiency in saving. the nations money.
 *
 Senator Sherman agrees that war is what General Sherman said it was, especially when it was fought under a Democrat ic administration and when a Democratic President negoti- ates the greatest pact of peace ever written, and is instrument tai in forming a society of na- tions that will give the world it's first promise that there will be no more wars.
 MT. Walter Carlson, of Flag staff, attended the dance last Saturday evening given by the Barnes Orchestra.

High Cost of Living.

We have before us a cafe tick
ct given a soldier in France for
his breakfast recently, which
would indicate if we keep our
soldiers over there long enough
they will pay the French war
debt if they eat very regular
when away from camp. The
meal consisted of a cup Of choc-
olate, bread and butter, roast
beef and fried potatoes, and it
cost the soldier II francs, or
about So. 10 in American money.
1t seems the French restaura-
teurs only make these charges to
American soldiers, and to other
customers the rates are more in
harmony with legitimate busi-
ness. The American soldier is
about the only fellow who has
any real money. and the natives
evidently do not expect him to
leave their shores with any in
his pocket if they can prevent it.

Claiming Dogs.

DR.. Sampson, the health officer,
wants all dog owners, who have
their animals chained up to re-
member that no additional notice
will be given during the ninety
day period, and every dog will be
killed seen on the streets or run
ming at large in the yard. If you
value your pet keep him secure
ly chained.
Since the order has been in ef-
feet to keep dogs chained, two
other dogs have later developed
distinct cases of rabies and had
to be killed, and the end is not
yet. A number of people are
keeping their dogs in the house
without being chained, which
simply means they are exposing
the members of their own family
should the animal suddenly de-
velop rabies.

Break Jail.

Last Friday night, or early Sat
urday morning, two prisoners
confined in the city Jail made
their escape through the roof of
our ancient landmark known as
the calaboose. One of the priso-
ners was Bob Lane, who had just
been bound over to the superior
court under bonds of $500 bonds,
and had been held here a day on
his plea of getting bondsmen.
His escape is a benefit to the
county, as it will save the ex-
pense of a trial, and the county
is forever rid of his undesirable
presence. The other prisoner was
a man wanted at Needles and Sc
ligman by the Santa Fe for burg
larizing cars.

The State Commission.

A bill has been introduced in
the legislature by Senator Camp
bell, of Coconino county, abol-
ishing the present commission
on state institutions and re-cre-
ating a board of control to con-
sist of the governor, auditor and
treasurer, and makes provision
for a secretary No one will re-
gret the wiping out of the COM
mission, but instituting a board
of control leaves the situation
just as bad as ever. The state
institutions should be placed un-
der the direct control of the gov
ernor, and thereby centralize re-
sponsibility for their manage
ment as the only method of get
ting efficiency and economy in
the conduct of the affairs. Un-
der the present commission sys-
tenn the members are appointed
by the governor, and the only
purpose of the proposed new bill
is to take the power Of appoint
ment from the governor and give
it to the democratic state treas
urer and auditor, and herein lies
the principle of all the laxity and
inefficiency in public institutions.
There is no fixed rule of govern
ing state institutions, and the
law is changed by the legislature
every two years, not for the good
of the service, but to get the dis
tribution of the patronage to the
party in control. Just so long as
our law makers take this view of
the state institutions, just so long
will these institutions be man
