SANTA FE PROGRESS

Santa Fe started put early in the
spring as though it was fully alive.
The Chamber of Commerce employ
ed a competent secretary and other-
wise proceeded to stir up things along
the whole line for a better and
greater Santa Fe. The movement
had every appearance of being of
the sort that gets results in town
building.
The city administration thought
the movement was genuine and at
once got busy on the streets that
were in such deplorable condition
in the spring. The city fathers ac-
tually took up a paving program that
will improve matters greatly.
After careful study of the financial
needs of the Chamber of Commerce
to carry into effect the broad pro-
gram already laid out, a budget was
prepared. This budget called for &c.
900 90 for the year. Here came the
end Of the very promising beginning.
After a thorough canvass the neces-
sary 5000. 90 could not be raised.
The secretary was compelled to seek
other work to live.
That the efforts of the Chamber
Of Commerce, led by public spirit
ed citizens that any city would be
proud of failed, is most unfortunate
Santa Fe is the capital and will be
till after 1925. Being the state cap
ital is worth while. Santa Fe other
wise has many that only
need to be developed to build a much
larger and better town, not only in
= business way, but as a residence
town and a tourist resort.
The ideal climate, the antiquities,
the scenery in the nearby mountains,
its good water, are real assets ir
themselves These are attractions to
people who want a good location
for a home. They appeal to the
tourist and it is worth while to
make things pleasant and delight
full to the tourist.
IL is hoped that the Chamber Of
Commerce, or rather the energetic
and public spirited citizens of Santa
Fe. will redouble their efforts to
build a better and greater Santa
Fe. But if these public spirited men
and women acromplish results, thew
must have the hacking and
alton, not only Of the business in.
terests but the citizenship general.

THAT NEW ERA

We hear much these days that the
great world war has created a new
era and that the world is face to
face with entirely changed condi-
tions, socially, industrially, and COM
mercially. They say hat the world
must meet entirely new problems and
all that.
Most of this is pure bunk" Fun
damental changes come slowly in
human affairs. Just read a little
history and it will apPear that the
progress has been slow indeed
Every human is a bundle of habits.
These are not readily changed. What
We know today has been acquired
slowly nor can it be unlearnt readi-
". The habits and thoughts of the
people can not be changed like a coat
on a moments notice.
We are facing grave conditions to-
day as a result Of the war, but it is
not by any means a changed world
We are moving about our daily tasks
much as usual. We are meeting con-
ditions as best We can with the ex-
perience of the past to guide us.
1t is a fortunate thing that the
human race advances slowly. Other
wise this great world would be in
constant turmoil as the idealist
~ would evolve new systems to be sud
denly imposed on everybody. Rus
sia tried to change overnight and
is getting nothing bait trouble. The
French revolution resulted in a new
era with everything changed. The
new era lasted but a short time.
The habits and the thoughts of the
people could no, be changed to order
to put over permanently the new
order of things.
This new era propaganda is dis
enough and helping to make
grave conditions worse. Ii is help
ing to cause unrest and industrial
through strikes brought
by radicalism, II is really a time
for sane men to exert their influ-
ence and steer the country through
the difficulties that always follow
wars. We are facing much
the same conditions hat other great
have brought about. 1t is time
to get to work.

Real Cowboy Attraction

A fine program has been outlined

listed in the 9TH Battalion, lst Div

as the Canadian Fighting Seventh"
in January 1917, spending Is months
overseas and being discharged at
Vancouver, B. c. the first Of last
June.
While with the Canadian Forces
Mccoy saw active service in many
battles, one being the second battle

MAKING HASTE SLOWLY

The country and not least New
Mexico are looking to Congress foI
early action on the railroad question
When Congress assembled in May
the interest among the members in
the matter was keen and the eoun-
try felt hopeful that before long
something tangible in the way OF
legislation would develop. But many
weeks have passed without any com
~prehensive bill for the return and
regulation of railroads having been
drawn. True the Esch-Pomerene
bill is before the house, but this is
not considered broad enough 10 meet
the situation.
There are plenty OF railroad bills
Of the ordinary variety before Con
gress. These are especially design
ed to meet some particular griev-
anoe and deal altogether with some
detail. The country is not especial.
ly interested in such at this time.
Action rs wanted on the matter OF
transportation itself. The country
is marking time to a great extent,
waiting for the solution Of the pres
ent very unsatisfactory condition.
In the mean time various interests
are getting busy spreading Propa-
ganda IN favor Of some particular
pet idea. Leagues are being formed
with very active press bureaus and
plausible publicity agents to promote
the spread Of the views and plans
OF these special interests. Some Of
them are seeking memberships
.L-l Al -. - -. 49,
funds for their press bureaus. All
this is not promising for a final sane
solution of the transportation pro.
blem Of the country.
The problem before the country to.
day is to provide adequate and ef-
Goient service at a fair cost to the
public. IL is a business proposition.
The transportation lines must earn
a reasonable return to be able to
conduct their business properly and
be able to extend their lines and
make additions and betterments a.
conditions demand. Industry and
business Of the country are depen-
dent on efficient transportation for
Aeir prosperity. In other words the
transportation industry must be in
position to meet the needs for trans
portation necessary for every other
industry. Otherwise neither will
prosper.
What the country begins TO fear
10 that the transportation matter
will not receive the thorough eonsi.
Iteration il deserves until late in the
session of Congress. The house is
N.aAv 20 tak. aTaa NhIa The
senate wrestles with the peace treaty
For the next few weeks the peace
treaty will have the entire attention
of the senate. In the mean time
the great domestic matter Of trans
po~rtation will be far in the back
ground. The danger looms that the
transportation matter will drag and
at the close some hurried legislA.
ton be passed. The country knows
from experience how loosely and un-

remain in force for lou months, un.
less modified by public authorities.
This Proviso in the law, returning
the wires, is of general interest to
the public. 1t gives the state COM
mission full power to investigate and
fix such rates as they find neces-
sary without waiting until December
LIST. There are some things inn
posed by the postmaster general that
should have immediate attention. The
autocratic rule Of the postmaster
public little attention.
1t is likely hat the various state
commissions will review the present
rates most carefully before ordering
any changes. The New Mexico Cor
poration Commission is ready to con-
slider the situation with great care.
Officials of the various large COM
panies. operating in the state, are
already comforting with the commits
sion.
Service is the first and all inn
portant consideration. During gov
eminent operation the service has
been far from good. 1t must be the
first matter to receive attention, now
that the wires are again in the hands
of the This is especially
true as to the telephone service that
is more in general demand and
therefore concerns a larger per-
centage of the people. Good SER
vice can be had with proper super
vision. The rate to be paid for SER
vice must be fair and the public ex.
poets that the commission will fix
rates that are just to the patrons
and the companies.
