STATES RIGHTS CuRTAILED

There wal a time when the Dem
ocrats made Rome howl over states
rights. They were the outs and
they persi.tently charged the Rep
ublicans with always trying TO create
. strong central government and
e~urtsiling the rights of states to con
troll their domestic affairs.
But the shoe has been on the
other foot after the Democrats came
into power in 1918. President Viii
son became the whole show from
the day he took office. His Sec
rotary OF State William j. Bryan
va. a mere figure head and eventual
Iy returned to the Chautauqua plat
form.
hen war was declared, 1t be-
came necessary TO vest me
power IN the President. The eoun-
try took that as a matter of couTse
as a necessary measure to win the
war. But though the war is over,
the autocratic war power OF the
administration has been feiinquished
but to a slight degree. The election
last fall went against the admins
tration. II is certain that one rea-
son for the farm down of the ad-
ministration at the polls, was the
fact that the right of states had been
ignored to a greater degree than
even war conditions warranted.
This marked tendency of central
ixstion of powers of the Federal
government does not bode well for
the future of the Nation. History
teaches, If it teaches anything, that
a government by the people is head
ing in the wrong direction when a
strong central government develops
at the expense of the local admins
tration of domestic affairs. The
proposed Federal enforcement of
prohibition goes in this direction.
Another sign which is di,-
%quieting, is the tendency of the ad-
ministration to run the business and
industry of the country. 1t is for
tunate hal this tendency has re-
ceived a serious setback in the
failure to operate successfully the
railroads and wires. Instead of
operating the railroads for the bene-
fit of all the people, the admins
~trstioB catered to labor, increasing
nuaIIy which the people had to meet
in drastic advance of freight and
passenger rates and higher taxes.
But the cost may have been worth
the price as il has opened the eyes
of the people. K,
And IL is time the people Of the
United States sit up and take notice.
The election in 1920 will have a
bearing pm this very matter,
il will not be a direct issue
in the campaign. Shall this Nation
survive as the "bome Of the Free
the tendency towards a strong CEN
trail government must be curbed.

THE COPPER INDUSTRY

II 10 we'll for New Mexico that
there 10 an upward trend in the
price Of copper. This industry has
grown to importance in the state in
recent years, until il has become a
leading tax asset. Al the close Of
the war. the outlook for copper min
ing was not bright. Wages had ad-
vaneed to . high figure without much
chance for immediate reduction. The
price of copper took a slump and
little hope was held out for a ready
market for copper even at the low
price.
The copper producers did not be-
come discouraged enough to close
down Their faith in the future 10
beginning to be indicated. France
has removed the embargo on i'm
%povtAtion Of copper and there should
coon be a large market there when
reconstruction gets under way pro-
seriy. England never did place an
embargo on copper.
The matter Of labor, Of course,
will remain a factor to eeoun with.
But even the labor situation ought
~ met without any serious inter
uption in mining.

SAVE THE STRAW

TAresbins Of the winter wheat erop
sill soon begin. In the past little
attention has been given to the
straw, more particularly in the plains
section of New Mexico. The last
two years, however, people found
the wheat straw worth saving. The
straw pile helped out during the dry
years.
If not used for feed the straw
should be returned 20 the land.
Every crop fertility. IL
takes nitrogen, potash, and phos-
phorus to make q crop. Every busheI
Of grain sold from the farm removes
for all time a certain percentage of
these. If the straw is burned which
used to be the general practice, more
fertility is lost without any return
whatever.
The header now in use
ON the plains, Of course, leaves nearly
all the straw in the field. This should
be turned under early to save the
greatest amount Of fertility.
