South View
Suggests A Great Hypothetical Question
TC You have been living on fifty foot lot in congesed
a neighborhood where the houses close together and
you have hardly enough for a cement driveway
and the inside dark because the houses
close together
AND IF YOU have always wanted big lawn
in front of and around your house; OF those places
where the house back from the and there
enough 0 build the long way facing the street
AND IF you have always wanted real garden
where you could have the usual truck and vegetable
plots and then few fruit and berry bushes well
and for a lot Of things in the Of garden thata
lack of space has prevented up date
AND IF you had of those beautiful North
Shore suburbs where the homes are all on large plots of
ground surrounded by park like spaces filled with
shrubs and flowers and have wondered why could
not have such beauty spots in Hammond
AND IF you have long had the idea that some one
ought to Law out HIGH GRADE acre subdivision
close the better residential district of Hammond in

injured by encroachmg factories r other undesnabes.
Whv Then The South View Addition is What You Want
In South View the lots range in size from one
half to one acre. The subdivision lies in favored
strip Of ground between Holman and the State

THE SHORT BALLOT.

Ex-Governor H. J. IIagerman is out in the Santa
Fe New Mexican with signed article faVoring the
short ballot proposal.
We disposed to favor it ourselves whenever
its proposers will be sufficiently candid with them
selves and the public to put the elasticity into it that
be there for it to be successful and responsive
to the peoples will.
They insist that the governor he given for four
year term, sole power to "hire and fire" all other
state officers, except lieutenant governor, and with
this quite agreed, if expect a responsible
government.
But are not the proposers weak -kneed at this
point? The people not the governor the real
employers The governor, too, is empoye. His
boss, the people, need the power to hire and fire.
just certainly the governor needs it with his
subordnates.
They admit that the governor can make such
program responsive his will only by being in posi-
tion to compel subordinaon. How the people
to make their governor responsive to their will with
out that same power?
We might we'll be frank. The recall is an
absolutely essential part of the proposed program.
If that be true why be afraid of it and sidesep the
logic of it all?
That recall can be made difficult without being
made impossible. The recall is a failure only where
it is made so easy that small minorties can invoke
it. Those failures do not condemn it as funda-
mental, essential protection to the majority.
To reply to all this by saying impeachment is
the route is absurd. impeachment is not weapon
within the reach of the people cannot be invoked
from dissatisfaction with policies, and involves dis
grazing an official when the people may wish only
to alter policy without destroying reputation.
II Governor Hagerman is as disengenious in his
arguments as he is in his manipulation of figures he
should be followed carefully, Would it not be well
for him to make an analysis for the people?
Let him tell us what part of the territorial ex-
pensa the national government bore. Let him dis
tribute the state account its various items, such

DRIVER, NOT MACHINE. To BLAME.

As a part of a research undertaken by the Nat
ional Safety Council with view to wipng out
avoidabe accidents in street traffic study is being
made of accidents in some cities. During March in
st. Louis there 791 street accidents. As was
TO be expected, in a majority of them 49i automo-
biles involved; but analysis establishes that
there is ground for hasty conclusion that motor
vehicles are therefore, dangerous machines.
In only 81 of the 791 accidents are the causes
given unavoidable. while in but 20 instances were
mechanical defects found. 1t is made plain that
negligence of drivers in a large majority of cases is
responsible for accidents, and this applies to horse
drawn vehicles and to street cars well as to auto
mobiles. Strict observance of traffic laws and reg
ulations, regard for the rights of Others due
prehensOn of personal responsibility some of
the essentials making the streets safer 1t is not
the automobile but the person in charge of it that
is blamable for most accidents. Careful driving
means lives saved and property preserved.

RESERVOIRS ARE FULL
ON CARLSBAD PROJECT

Especial Correspondence to The JourbaiD
Carlsbad, June 13.-The Carls-
bad project reservoirs are full and
water is being spilled down the Pc
cos, a daily spill of from one thou
sand to four thousand second feet
being recorded recently.
Cotton is coming on well, the hot
weather of the last few days hav-
ing accelerated the growth. Pea
green hay is being sold at SIS or
better, but some of the first cut
ting has been discolored by show
ers.
Reclamation officials have made
no estimate of the spring planting
of cotton, but an accurate crop re-
port will be made the last of the
month. Earlier estimates went IS
high as fifteen thousand acres,
Some cotton has been planted on
dry land, L. c. Leftwith having
eighty acres under the old Spencer
dam, a project northwest of Carls-
bad several miles, which has been
in disuse for twenty years. This
cotton will undoubtedly make
crop. Other scattering fields have
also been planted in the neighbor-
hood, and it is reported that con-
siderable dry land cotton will be
raised in Lea county this year.

San Juan County Wool.

Pennington Hustler: Here in
this county over 10000 pounds of
wool has been signed up and seven
cars, representing wool from 20
different mon. of this amount are
already on their way to Chicago.
All of the wool this year is being
sent to the National Wool ware
house of Chicago. And as this
company will advance so to rs per
cent of the market value of each
carlot shipment direct tQ the grow
ers, it means that those who need
money to pay off shearing hands,
etc, can get it, When the wool
reaches Chicago it Is unloaded,
stored insured, graded and sold.
In a recent letter from c. A.
McNabb he stated that about A.
O00 900 pounds of wool had already
been signed up in this association,
and as the total wool clip of the
state is somewhere around 20,00O,-
600 pounds, it means that over 20
per cent of the state wool will be
handled by the association this
year. .te

OBREGON'S VISION.

If any dependence can be placed on the utter
ances of General Obregon, the victorious leader of
the Mexican rebels the United States will not be the
loser in the change the revolution has brought about
He expresses the hope that soon there may be such
a pleasant relationship between the two countries
that the border dividing them may be like that be-
tween Canada and the United States.
If Obregon be in earnest and he can gather
around him sufficient number of big enough
to catch the same vision and can secure new fov-
eminent for the republic whose Interpretation of
the Monroe doctrine is not suicidal, he declare7
Cawanzas was, the end of the long contentious be-
tween the two countries may be brought about and
the development of the wonderful of Mex
leo may be carried and the country placed in the
class to which it belongs. distinction it might have
enjoyed for years had it not been for its lack of
broader minds and higher ideals
In the light of past years this prophesy seems
to be visionary, but the world has Obregons enght-
ened views at least which to base the prophesy.

of the chief assayer and chemist
for the Phelps Dodge corporation
at Tyrone, when she fell 40 feet
down the shaft of the Forster

Signal district.
1t is reported Mrs. Leach had
descended a considerable way down
the 14O-foot shaft, and either. lost
her footing or became dizzy, caus-
ing her to lose her hold and fall.
Mrs. Leach is credited with the
discovery of the existence at White

the beginning of extensive develop

whether the radium is of CONNER
cial value. She is an unusually
