STATE MAY HAVE
No AID IN F INDING
JOBS FOR 18th
Suspension of Federal En-
pIoyment Service Threaten
ed on Eve of Return of Di-
yiSioni Placed Many Soldiers

The federal employment service S
part in finding work for returned SOL
diers in New Mexico is told forcibly
in statement given out Tuesday by
the state headquarters here. 1t shows
that, although the service has been
operating in the state less than eight
months, employment has been found
for exactly 527 discharged soldiers
and practically all of them since the
signing of the armistice at that.
The task of placing these soldiers,
however, was small in comparison
with that to be faced early in the
summer. 1t has been announced that
the Eighty ninth division, which in
Cludes the first increments of selec-
tive service men called from the state,
has been designated for return and
the date of its withdrawal from the
army of occupation fixed in June.
They will be the first large body of
soldiers TO come back and the prob
lem of finding work for them will be
a big task.
1t is possible that the state may
have to wrestle with the problem
alone since the suspension of the en-
plOyment service, which so far has re-
lieved the state OF placing its returned
soldiers, is threatened by the failure
Of the house appropriations commit
tee to include any appropriations for
continuation of the service in the
sundry civil bill. Unless provision is
made for the service it will lie forced
to close on April /.
The beginning of the services work
in New Mexico was the opening of
three offices, one here, one at Ros-
well and another at Deming, early
last June. An office at Ration was
opened a month later and afterward
one at Santa Fe. Before the Santa Fe
office was opened the service had
placed 9S2 men and women, and at
the close of the week ending Deem
Der IA, with five offices working, the
service had reported as placed 1856
persons. Since then the work has in
creased and on February / there had
been at the five offices 10,042 regis
trations; 1855 calls and some open
orders for workers; 7,1S3 persons re-
ferred and $500 reported placed.
The cost of placing a man in the
state has been-taking the cost of all
the offices and dividing it into the
number of men reported placed
$2.44. Some of the offices have not
been as active as others and where
the cost has been high in some dis
tricts at times, other offices have
placed many men and in the month
of December the Deming office placed
627 men at a cost of 80 cents each. IN
January the cost of placing a man
from that district was "a cents: butt

which were higher for December, with

LAND VAL UES FOR
TAXATION RAISED
BY COUNTY BOARD
That Within Mile of City Linn
its Shall Not Be Assessed at
Less Than 500 an Acre.;
Irrigated Values Increased.

In fixing minimum valuations for
lands, the board of county commits
sioners Tuesday for the first time
took into consideration the nearness
of tracts to the city, ruling that in
no case land within a mile of the
city limits should me assessed for
taxation at less than 500 an acre.
The action was taken at the sugges-
ton of Assessor stephen b. Roehl
and means that he has the right to
fix the valuation of lands situated In
the area described by the commits
sioners at their true value, but that
their true value cannot be entered on
the assessors rolls at a lower figure
than that named by the board.
The minimum valuation for irri-
gated lands, not cultivated, was raised
from $50 to $50 and the limit for
grazing land without water, was low
cred % cents--from $50 to $1.25 an
acre. The valuations fixed by the
board follow:
Irrigated lands, cultivated, not less
than SIS.
Irrigated lands, not cultivated, no.
less than $50.
Grazing lands, with water, not less
than $3.50.
Grazing land, without water, not
less than $1.25.
The boards action, of course, does
not prevent the valuation of these
lands being fixed at higher figures.
The boards figures are merely min
imum limits 1t is not possible for
the assessor to make lower valuations
than those ordered, but he may make
them higher if he believes the true
value of the land to be above the
minimum limit.

ESQ CARLOADS Of
PINTO BEANS IN
GROVE RS HANDS
Three-fourthS of New Mexico
Crop for 1918 Still on Handi
Growers May Suffer Finan-
CiaI Losses, Claim,

There are ESQ cars of pinto beans
A. Field, secretary of the New Mexico
Bean Growers association, and unless
these are marketed at an early date
the growers must sell at price con-
siderably below present quotations and
thus suffer considerable OF a loss
The trouble seems to be that the
government bought heavily of the
1917 crop for the purpose of estab-
fishing a market throughout the east
where the pinto bean was almost a
total stranger. The government paid
as high as S.S cents a pound for beans
f. o. b. cars. Many cars of beans We're
sold on eastern markets. After one
year, however, the government con-
cluded that it had done enough in the
way of educating the fasteners and
declined to buy beans except ut the
prevailing market price. which has
been in the neighborhood of cents.
The New Mexico producers have
shown a disposition to hold their
beans, hoping to get something like
the price they received for their 1917
crop. The result is that fully three
fourths of the 1918 crop in this state
remains in the hands of the growers,
while it is estimated that in the Unit
ed States half of the crop remains
unsold. Unless the old beans are dis
posed of before the new crop is ready
to be marketed, holders of 1918 beans
will be forced to sell for / cent to "
cents under the market to get rid
of their beans at all, Mr.. Field said.
The market at present is about Y
