1t was well enough, in the careless times of

fine car could hardly be an economical car also
But today, motor car-like everything else

SMALL OPERATORS HANDI-
CAPPED.

Revival of mining is beginning in
Socorro county. despite the specula-
ton of seekers for oil. Much mineral
wealth has been produced in that
county. Never were the people so
prosperous as when capital was COM
ing freely to the development of mines
and labor was plentiful. But to q
great degree it was the poor man,
prospector, or the small operator
who made things hum in the decades
when Socorro was busy mining
county.
The Socorro Chieftain. seeking a re-
turn of former conditions, says:
SILVER mining is reviving through
out the southwest, with the exception
of the state of Arizona, where it APP
pears that those opposing the activi-
ties of the big mining companies have
made it impossible for men with small
capital to get even a start, and the
silver mines are not being opened.
After all, it will be just as well
for the future of New Mexico to con-
tinue to encourage the development OF
our silver gold copper and lead re-
sources, to work along in the wealth
producing industry with oil"

LET THEM SEE TO IT.

When the last legislature provided
that sailors and soldiers should have
tax exemption upon property to the
value of $4,000, it was contemplated
that they should not have to claim it.
But some assessors have made assess
ments in disregard of the intent of
the law, so that uniformed men may
receive no benefit The American
Legion is not conducted upon a beg
ging basis, but should see to it that
the service men pay no more than the
state meant to accept from them. BY
absence they undoubtedly suffered
financially when stay-at-homes were
making money. The law also eXempts
the service men from poll tax for
school use. but does not waive road
tax or labor, it is claimed.

GO AFTER THEM.

With wheat farms here yielding
profit of from $50 to SIS per acre
this year New Mexico should attract
farm buyers from the region referred
to in the following from the Roy
Spanish American:
Land owners in Iowa are forced
to boost rent to $40 an acre for next
year in order to meet the high cost
of everything and get returns on their
$250-an-acre land. This can but mean
that many renters will have to quit
the game there and a lot of good
farmers will be forced out there Why
don't we get busy and get a lot of
them here where they can have a
chance to use their skill and talent
as farmers to some advantage for
themselves. There is room here for
hundreds of good farmers at low rem
tai or farms to buy at the price of a
years rent in Iowa"

Deming people do not have any

in the Deming Jail. The local papers
report that the audience did not take
the orator seriously and soon wearied
of the mild utterances. Hearers hoped
for hot stuff" and might have en-
joyed doing things to the speaker.
During the war mum was the word
given to such chaps. But, now they
are allowed to get things "off their
systems" out in the west where there
are no inflammable foreigners ready
