too badly damaged to repair.
The east side of the building was
occupied by the Peco offices and by
keeping the doors and windows closed

Pardon US for lying out so long, but
the fact is we have been noursing our
grievances and have not FELT like si:-
ting down to write.
And then again we have been very
busy harvesting and garnering the big
crop we talked about all summer.
Yes. we have plenty of corn, pop
corn, kafir, milo and beans, but with
the price of these various products
going down and flour and coffee, and
sugar and boots and shoes and suits,
with all the adjuncts going higher 1t
is enough to give US the blues and 20
cause US to think we are not getting
square deal.
There was feed enough raised in
Ute Valley alone this year to furnish
"a large portion for the stock of this
country, yet we notice snapped corn
is worth only Sl.l5 Il hundred and
shelled corn only Sl.9O, and the staple
table dish is selling for only 3 to ila
cents pound.
We farmers begin to think we are
not wanted here. Only very few 10,
Gals are given US in the papers, not
that we are hankerlng after these
things but it shows the drift, and then
no comforts are provided for us by
the state, but much money is being
spent for the comfort of the tourist.
Highways are built for him, roads OPP
ened by either having the fences re-
moved or bridges made over them.

We congratulate the st. Cloud and

vindcation and we regret that it was
not also accorded Mr.. Pandolfo, and
we wish him better luck next time.
But for his efforts and his wonderful

there is not the slightest doubt in the

PRESIDENT MAY NOT PUT
ROADS BACK NEW YEAR

Washington, Dec. lI--President
Wilson's mind is still open on the
question of returning the railroads to
private ownership, Secretary Tumulty
today told delegation representing
union labor and some farmers organ
lzations which called at the White
House TO present a letter asking the
executive to delay return of the roads
for two years.
This was the first authoritative OK
preston on the subject which had
come from administration quarters
since the president informed congress
last May that he planned to relinquisa "A
federal control by January /. The
president, Mr.. Tumuty said, would be
glad to get the views of the labor and
farmer representatives, who insisted
that IA fair test of government opera
ton in peace time should be given.
While the delegation was at the
White House the senate was speeding
up consideration of the Cummins rail-
road bill and apparently was nearing
a final vote. Under the measure the
roads would be returned to their own
ers within thirty days after the bill
became law.
Before going to the White House
the union labor and farmers delega-
tion, which included Samuel Gompers
of the American Federation of Labo,
and representatives of the railroad
Drotherhoods, called on Senator Cum.
t,att, ,l,a Of h t,,t..
state commerce committee, and asked
that his bill be withdrawn. He indi-
Gated that he would lay the reques.
before the full committee.
The letter from the labor and farm
ers' delegations TO the president said
proponents of the Cummns bill claim
ed that the president planned to re,
turn the roads by January !, and that
some legislation providing for sucn
return must be enacted Immediately.
I'VE believe that this assertion is a
great injustice to you,' continued the
letter. "As you doubtless know, an
overwhelming majority of the farmers
and members of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor and the railroad broth
erhoods as well as the general public
favor an extension of the period Of
government operation of the railroad
for at leas, two years, in order that i
fair test may have been made of gov
ernment operation and plan may be
worked out for the ultimate disposal
of the roads which would be far to
all interests involved"
Director General Hines and mem.
bers of the interstate comMerce com,
mission have shown clearly that the
return of the railroads will involve an
increase in freight rates Of close to a
billion dollars. This Increase in rates
according to the same authorities, will
be reflected in an increase cost of liv-
ing of at least S4,O00,000,O 400 n year
possibly S5,000000,00 The Ameri.
can people cannot and should not stand
such an increase"

Mr.. A. ID. Goldenberg,
Dear Mr.. Goldenberg:
Sometime this fall you wrote mo
with reference to the standing of the
Tucumcari high school during the
years 1910 to 1915. Prior to 1916
none Of our high schools were accred-
tied by the North Central Associations
of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
Since 1916 this Association has stan.
dardiZed eighteen of the high schools
in New Mexico-one of them the Tu-
cumcar high school
Since receiving your letter I've been
busy going through the records and
consulting other agencies with refer
cnce TO the standing held by your high
school during 1910 to 1915. This was
prior to the time that came into the
Office of state school superintendent,
and | find as a result of the investiga-
tion which ] have been making that
during the years referred to your high
school was ranked as one Of the best
in the state for its size. ! understand
that the graduates from the high
school were received with freshmen
standing, not only by our own State
University and other State schools,
but by number Of standard colleges
and universities outside the State.
may add that am well acquainted
with Mr.. Hofer and have always
had very high regard for him as an
administrative school man.
With highest regards, ! am
Sincerely yours,
JOHNATHAN II. WAGNER.
