NEW MEXICO

ALBERQUERQUE, N. M.-Ef- forts to submit woman suffrage amendment to the state constitution, to obtain immediate adoption of the national prohibition amendment and to revise the election law, especially along the lines of modified form of the direct primary, probably will be made at the present session of the state legislature, which began January ', and will continue for sixty days.
 Other legislation with fair chance of passage by the legislature follows:
 Stringent provisions for the en- forcement of the statewide prohibit tion amendment, which became ef- fective October 1, 1918.
 The establishment of state de- partment of health.
 The establishment of a state de-
 
 partment of agriculture and statis- ties, which may include state immi- grafton and development.
 A "blue sky law.
 Tbe state highway commission will submi, S5,OOO,OOO road building plan.
 Great interest is being shown in the proposed establishment of a state department of agriculture and statistics because of the increased opportunities such a department would be able to offer to returned soldiers, especially by cooperating with the secretary of the interior in settling the public domain. The development of state lands would be of course another result of the establishment of such department, it is pointed out.
 The legislature is two-thirds Re- publican. and the governor is also Republican. The lower house was chosen at the November elections, the senate being held over.

LEGISLATURE OF COLORADO OPENS:
 HOUSES DIVIDED

DENVER.-The twenty-second bi- ennial session of the Colorado state legislature opened here on January 1, with it's senate securely in the hands of Democratic leaders and it's house controlled by strong Repub- lican majority Because of this di- vision in political control prospective legislation is rather limited; with in- terest centered chiefly in the recon struction program, and in the enact ment of laws governing the new civil service commission which was created by a constitutional amend ment, adopted at the recent Nov ember election.
 Possibility of the passage by con- gress of statute embodying Sec retary of the Interior Lanes plan for making state lands available to returning soldiers through irriga- tion development. The legislature must first decide whether existing statues enable the state to take ad- vantage of the Lane plan. If the decision is affirmative bills embody- ing the needed legislation will be introduced; if negative an effort to submit a constitutional amendment at the next election correcting such condition will be made. Along the line of peace-time development the state immigration commission will also sponsor bills providing for comprehensive survey of the agri- cultural opportunities.
 A strongly partisan contest is an ticipated on the enactment of the civil service commission bill. The amendment creating the commission defined it's powers in general terms only and Democratic leaders, in con- trol during the past years, see in the framing of the new civil service law an opportunity to continue in office every Democrat now holding office.
 The ratification of the federal prohibition amendment early in the session is considered g. certainty Prohibition leaders, however, will be active in urging the passage of legis, lation which will continue the state constabulary organization, which under the terms of the present measure is automatically abolished 60 days after the signing of the peace treaty.
 Labor representatives plan to seel the repeal of the provision in tho industrial law which prohibits tho calling of a strike without giving thirty days notice to the state in dustrial commission and may alst seek an increase in payments under the employees compensation act.
 The highway commission is as ye undecided whether to seek a large appropriation for road development or Legislation which will mahe pos sible a bond issue for road improve ment. A measure placing auto trucl service under the control CT tht public utilities commission is als( planned.
 The session will be the first 1T the history of the state in which appropriations for the state educa tional institution will not form { part of the legislative program, thu twenty-first assembly having placed all such institutions on the mil levy basis.

BIOLOGISTS LEAVE
 U. s. GOV. SERVICE

The fact that there have been v resignations from the scientific force of the United States Geological Sur vey, Department of the Interior, dur ing the last year-17 per cent of the force-suggests inadequacy of com pensation, and the percentage of res ignations in the clerical and non-scien- tific force was even larger. This statement of course does not include separations to enter military service. The largest inroad comes from the oil companies; the final result of the pio- neer work of the Federal geologists in applying geologic methods to the search for oil and gas is that large proportion of the leading oil geolo- gists the world over are United States Geological Survey graduates. Indeed the future decline in popularity of the Geological Survey as recruiting sta tisn for oil-company personnel will be due simply to the fact that the ex. )perienced oil geologists who remain in the Government service are from per. sonal preference immune to outside offers.
 The relation between Government salaries and outside salaries of geolo. gists has been definitely determined in compilation of the records of '2e geologists who left Government ser. vice after receiving an average salary of $2,271. The average initial salary of these men in private employ was $5,121, and after about two years of average service this compensation av.

INTEREST ON LIBERTY LOANS
 9o0,0OO,000 PER YEAR

Washington, D. c. Dec. 26-1nterest on Liberty Loans now amounts to be- tween $800,0O0,000 and $900,000,O0 per year.
 The population of the United States is estimated at something under 110,- 000, ,000 persons.
 The United States Treasury there fore is disbursing investment profits averaging $S each to every man, woman, and child in the country.
 More than 2O,OO0,0O0 persons were listed at the close of the Victory Loan as holders of war bonds, indicating an average family holding which just tall lies with the above figures-some $2OO worth of Liberty or Victory bonds, producing an income of $8 per year.
 Hundreds of thousands of persons who never saved money before did so through the purchase of Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps. As soon as the war ended, this accumulated money burned their pockets like the small boys first dollar. They began to sell their Liberty Bonds, very few, approximately, because they actually needed the money. A very large pro- portion sold them, at loss of a few dollars because they itched to spend the money.
 A far too great proportion traded them for stocks which, in many cases, will prove a total loss. Others sold them to invest in stocks of the same lack of worth. Because of the pres sure of sales from these motives, Lib erty bonds have been selling below par, and persons compelled by circum- stances to sell have been forced to accept loss of money they could ill afford. This has been the more re- grettable because the depreciation in price was artificial.
 What becomes of the Liberty bonds sold below par?
 The strong boxes of the wise inves, tor are the answer.
 He is absorbing more and more o1 them, knowing that a Government se' curity, absolutely loss proof, and bear ing four to four and three quarters per cent interest is marvelousl! good investment.
 | In the meantime, the Government is continuing the sale of War Saving' Stamps, which offer safe and eas! way to save money. They are al ways redeemable at 10 days notice in case of need, at cost plus interes earned.

KEEP YOUR WAR
 RISK INSURANCE

It is regrettable that so many for mer service men are not keeping their Government life insurance issued through the Bureau of War Risk In- surance in Washington. The fact seems to be due largely to widespread confusion and lack of information as to the right of former service men to permanent Government life insurance, and the process by which this insur- ance may be retained.
 The demobilization of our armed forces was so rapid and was attended by such uncertainty on the part of ser vice men as to future civil occupa- tions and permanent place of abode that it was not surprising that many of the men gave little thought to the matter of insurance. Others doubt less thought the original term insur- ance (War Time Insurance) ceased when they were demobilized and did not know it might be converted into any one of the several forms of per manent Government Life Insurance Converted Insurance). Still others, immediately upon their return to civil life, felt financially unable to con- tinue the insurance. They should now take advantage of the liberal pro- visions for reinstatement.
 The Government is determined that no former service man shall lose his right to Government insurance through lack of knowledge of condi- tions. To this end, the press, the pull pit, bankers physicians and other pro fessional men, and the greater volun- teer agencies of social welfare like the Red Cross, the Y. M. c A., the Knights of Columbus, the Y. M. H. A. the Salvation Army, the War Camp Community Service, the Boy Scouts and many others are now cooperating with the Bureau of War Risk Insur' ance in an educational campaign de signed to reach the former service men, wherever located ,and tell then the Government is now committed tt the policy of permanent life insur ance for it's soldiers, sailors and mar ines.
 Term Insurance (War Time Insur ance), if it has lapsed, may be easil! reinstated within eighteen months from the date of discharge by stat ing in the application that the appli cant is in as good health as at dat of discharge, and by payment of onl! two months premiums on the amour of insurance to be reinstated. Ant this term insurance (War Time Insur ance) may be converted into one O. several forms of Government policies

eraged $7,804, and eight of these geo. logists receive $10,O00 or more. The disparity is even greater if considera- tion is given to the large financial re- turns from investments made blythe private geologists in connection with their professional work, a privilege properly denied by statute to the of ficial geologist.
 That the value of these men as spe- cialists and consulting geologists is far greater to the country at large than to private corporations is unden- fable. Furthermore, it is important to note that most of these geologists had persisted to the limit of endur- ance with magnificent spirit based on their love of scientific research and their desire to contribute to the sum of geologic knowledge. Most of them have been forced out of the service by sheer financial necessity. Unless adequate measures are taken to amel- iorate the situation, the geologic staff sdestined to suffer far greater de- terioration of morale and depletion in its ablest. most responsible, most ex- perienced ,and most valuable members. The Geological Survey is passing into stage when, with greater need than ever for systematic geologic work in the country, it is ceasing to be attrac- tive to the young men of greatest ability, training and promise. This situation deserves prompt and effec- tive remedy, for it threatens most ser iously to cripple this branch of the public service. Annual Report, Di- rector, United States Geological Sur vey.)

STEEL MANUFACTURER DECLARES STANDARDIZATION
 METRIC SYSTEM EASY

Shocking for one of the large steel manufacturing companies of the Uni ted States, R H Page, Vice-Presi- dent Truscon Steel Company, New York City, and Manager of the For eign Trade Department of the Trus- con Steel Co.,. of Youngtown, Ohio, has just declared to the World Trade Club of San Francisco, that in the steel in- dustry, the advance to metric stan, dardization could be made easily ana without appreciable cost. MT. Page declares that his company strongly favors the adoption of metric stand ards exclusively by U. s. America He asserts that foreign transactions would be greatly simplified by dealing in metric units and that the foreign trade of the United States would De greatly advanced.
 He declares that there are no real difficulties in the way of adoption of metric standards. "The heavy equip ment in the basic industries-such as rolls in the steel industry-are of short life and could be entirely re, placed with metric sizes in 2 or 3 years' time," he declares. "The more complex tools and dies would require somewhat longer to replace, put meanwhile, the products thereof couio be listed in their present metric equlv. alents. Many of our larger firms !. m certain lines already maintain dupll' cate equipment for the manufacture of metric sizes for their foreign mar kets, thus recognizing the importance of getting into step with the ma]orleS of the civilized nations"
 Some of the other large steel man ufacturers supporting metric stan dardization are: R. T. Crane or tn' Crane Co.,, Chicago; The Tacony Stee Co. of Philadelphia; The Victor An matograph Co.,. of Davenport, Iowa Standard Steel Car Co.,, Butler, Pa' Hamilton Watch Co.,, Lancaster, Pa.

NOHAvE COUNTY LEADS STATE OF ARIZONA IN
 COMPETENT TEACHERS

MOhave County schools, as far as competent teachers are concerned, are in the best condition of any of the counties of the state according to data compiled by the Phoenix Republican:
 "With 40 or 50 vacancies for school teachers in the states rural schools and with no accredited candidates for the positions the state board of edu- cation yesterday pronounced the situ- ation deplorable in the extreme and voted as a temporary expedient to grant temporary certificates for the coming term just as was done for last term when it was hoped that there would be no occasion to resort to that means again.
 Superintendent c. o Case says that the board can make no apologies for the condition that exists, and he says further that the board realizes fully what it means to allow the states chil- dren to be taught by teachers who cannot pass the requisite examina- tions. At the recent examinations one candidate was awarded a zero, and the highest rating attained was 85 per cent. The county superintendents have recommended the granting of temporary certificates, and such per mits will be issued for use up to the end of the term in July.
 Still 50 Vacancies
 The following paragraphs, submit ted by Superintendent Case shows the number of teachers made available by the examinations and the number of existing teachers who failed to make the grade:
 Apache county, one new teacher, no failures; Cochise, five new, five out; Coconino, none new, three out; Gila, none new, five out; Graham, one new five out; Greenlee, two new, one out; Maricopa, none new, none out; Mo have, none new, two out; Navajo, one new, none out; Pima, two new, two out; Pinal, none new, one out; Santa Cruz, five new, one out; Yavapai, two new, four out; Yuma, two new, one out; total, 24 new, 30 out. The super intendent says that about 50 vacan. cies are thrilled.

The small population Of the islands consists largely of the for eign born, yet nearly $25OO worth of War Savings Stamps has been sold there this year, the per capita pur- chases comparing most favorably with any of the states of the Union.
 The purchases for the island up to the end of August this year averaged s17.25 for each square mile of the territory purchased from Denmark in 1916. The sales were made through the postoffices of the Islands.

AMERICAN BOMBER BECOMES PASSENGER CARRIER

The assumption that military air planes are unable to meet satisfactor- fly the demands of peace is justified in the case of small craft designed to meet the specialized requirements of combat work. Planes of the multi engined bomber type, however, are easily converted into excellent com. mercial vehicles. Freight is carried quite as easily as bombs; with a few alterations, fuselage is made to rival in comfort of a Pullman car. A con- spicuous example of this last is the Martin 12-passenger airplane, which was recently flown from Cleveland te the Governments experimental field at Dayton, Ohio.
