AMERICAN LEGION ASKS
LAND GRANT TO STATES

The state convention of the Amer
lean Legion which held three day
session in Albuquerque last week
completing its labors late Satur lay
night, gave every evidence that ii is
to be a powerful organization for the
development OF the state as we'll a
the guardian OF the rights oil il,
members and the privileges they
should enjoy By virtue OF the fact
thai lis members answered the ma
tionS cali to arms and were ready
to make the supreme sacrifice foI
their country if duty demanded it
Probably the mos, impor. ami ac-
ton OF the convention was the adop-
tioH ot a resolution requesting tag
cession Of the remaining public lands
to the states in which they are los
ated. The government administra-
tion of the public lands IS notorius-
ly extrayagant and expensive, cost
ing the general government many mil
lions of dollars in excess OF all thai
is received from it. The states, on
the other hand have ali made THEN
lands pay handsomely for the ben :
fit of their public schools and othe
institutions. Outside OF the question
of profits the states have also sold
their lands in such manner and on
such terms that the settlers could
secure them for the purposes for
which they were the most valuable
and thus aided the settlement, deVel-
opment and taxable wealth within
their borders. In New Mexico the
granting of the public lands to the
state will mean settlement and homes
for thousands of soldiers and others.
Continued government means stag
nation in that direction.
Governor Larrazolo in his address
promised the soldiers that he would
call an extra session of the legisla-
ture to meet the requirements of any
government law congress may enact
to promote soldier settlement of the
public domain
Other resolutions endorsed the ac-
ton of the last legislature in Great
ing a soldier settlement board in this
state and denounced the unnecessary
delays" OF congress in taking action
TO provide homes for the soldiers.
Santa Fe was selected as the tenn
porary headquarters of the Legion
untA next year, when a vote will
be taken to determine the location
for period of three years.

ASKS BETTER FREIGHT
RATES ON BEANS

Ii appears that the freight rates
on beans to eastern and southern
markets from common points in
Colorado are lower than from point.
in the Estancia valley. Neal Jensor
of Estancia writes the state corpora
tion commission in the matter and
asks that the commission look into
the situation. Mr.. Jenson thinks that
his section of the state should have
a lower rate to southern markets
than Colorado and at least the same
rate as Colorado to eastern market.
Under present rates the New Mexico
bean grower can not compete with
the Colorado grower.
