THOSE AMENDMENTS.

The time in which the voters of the
state may make up their minds re-
garding the submitted amendments to
the constitution is very short. There
should be no objection to the amend
ment which would permit New Mexico
soldiers tc vote wherever they may be
There are many objections to the
proposition to have all of the educa-
tional, penal and charitable institu-
lions under one board. Doubtless there
is merit in the purpose to take the
boards out of local control, but tc
have the boards come into existence
with each state administration ane
cease to exist with the going out of the
governor who named the board. is moi
wise provision.
The penal and charitable institu.
tons have been regarded as matters
for political patronage. The educa'
tionaI institutions are now free from
politics, and should be kept free. i
would be difficult TO name a board
that would be partisan in dealing with
the pententary, for example. and
free from partisanism in dealing with
the state university.
1t should be understood that the
amendment proposing to create
board of control for all the state In
situations was introduced By Senator
Bryant of Portales and strongly back
ed by Senator Mersfelder of Clovis
both democrats. Hence. it was in nC
degree a political measure. 1t will b.

The most important amendmen
submitted is that purporting to be IL

want to see the federal funds matched
by the state, but there are provision

the correctness of the construction,
the amendment should be ratified b
the voters there would be PRACTICAL

Mexico, now heavily taxed. cannot al

hanging of Antonio Cabello. former
mayor of Santa Eulalia. Chihuahua,

cupied the mining town sixteen miles

train .from the state capital Villa
had 500 men, they said. and took s4.-
900 from the mining company offices
after looting them and destroying the
records. The hanging of the eX-mayor
was the result of a grudge Villa held
against him since they were partners
in the cattle business. After forcing
them TO witness the hanging and tell
ing they must increase the wages of
the Mexican miners. Villa permitted
all of the Americans to go to Chihua-
hua City.
Train service south of Chihuahua
City was suspended today because of

er of the northeast. left for Chihuahua

The armistice meeting on Jan. II

patches last week, the blockade has
been broken so far as food goes, but
restrictions still exist on commercial
supplies. Germanys more pressing
food needs are to be filled by Amer

with the necessity of using the ut

Germans time to read the new con-

but the military authorities declined
to modify what they regarded as pro-
per usage.
