The Esch-Pomerene bill is evid-
emily not generally satisfactory. The
Senate committee on Interstate
Commerce is now drifting a bill to
meet the present situation. The
chairman Senator Cummins will take
a leading part in the preparation of
this bill.
What the country needs and de-
mands is adequate service and rates
that are fair. On the one hand there
must be no extravagant net earn
ings, but on the other hand the
transportation lines by land and
water and the transmission lines
must earn revenue sufficient
to provide good service and
funds to expend to meet the
growth of industry and business. To
obtain this there must be sane re-
gulation of the income in relation
to cost of operation like there is
in every other line of industry and
business. The prosperity OF this ma
tion depends primarily on the pros
perity Of the transportation indus
try.

BUDGET SYSTEM

The Republicans in Congress are
giving the question of establishing
a system of c~o-ordinating and unity
ing the estimates of appropriations
for the various department., serious
confederation. Though the matter
of establishing a budget system has
been discussed for years, the matter
has never met with general approval
in government circles. Bills have
now been introduced both in the
Senate and the House. In the House
the bill is before the Judiciary Com
mittee which is strongly in favor of
this system. The present methods
are much out of date. Every de-
psrtment sends in it's request for
its annual needs, without any re-
gard to the claims of other depart
ments. With a budget system much
duplication would be eliminated, and
appropriations could be made intel
ligently.

DISPOSING OF PUBLIC LANDS

The people of New Mexico would
be much benefited if at least the
unreserved public domain in New
Mexico was granted to the state
This phase does not need TO be ar
gued. As state land the domain
would produce revenue for schools
and other purposes and thereby
lower the taxes.
The real question is if the lands
would be better administered under
state control. Would the state be
in better position to the
settlement and development of these
lands than the federal government?
This will depend on the policy of
the state land office.
New Mexico has a well organized
and practical land department. 1t
has d definite policy in handling
the present grants. The state land
office is required by law to obtain
the greatest possible return from the
lands for the benefit of the public
schools and other public institutions
Revenue Is obtained through leases
which goes to the income fund
Money received from sale of AND
goes to a permanent fund, the in
come Of which goes to the suppor
Of the public schools and other in
situations. All this reduces the a.
mount that must be collected in tax
es from the people
During the sixth fiscal year, end
ing November 30, 1918, the state land
office paid over to the state treas
urer S6l6 ,S34 81 for the income fund
and 1863, 63402 for the permanent
fund. From the unused balance in
the maintenance fund S99 ,O49.7s was
turned into the income fund and
$685. into the permanent fund in
addition. The total paid over to the
state treasurer for the sixth fieal
exceeds a million dollars. During
the year the state land office paid
over for the benefit of the income
fund of the public schools S36l ,lls.-
e6 and the permanent fund Sl60, sos
OF.
Contrast this with the income from
the unreserved lands of the Federal
government and IT is plain that the
state is administering its lands to
much better advantage and to the
benefit of all the people of New Mex
ieo than the Federal government.
