CASE OF SPIyoi AND BUNGHOLE.

The files of congress are ever cluttered up with
bills that would not secure results aimed at by i'm
practicable members. who originate such plans
introduce them at request of some constituent Or
interest One Of these is a bill to tax ADVERTISING
not for the purpose of raising revenue much as
to discourage advertisers, who making a big
spread now all the country, and causing pub
fishers to use large quantities of paper
Advertising is helping to increase business. and
business employs labor to supply the needs of the
country
One measure in the house would make pub.
Usher turn ten per cent of receipts from ad-
vertsing, in the of all journals and magazines
having over 5000 subscribers. This would perhaps
bring more proportionate revenue from the big
papers, but would be blow to the average
daily paper of a small city The big dailies and
magazine owners could best stand the tax pass
it along to the large advertisers. The large pub
fishers have bought mills and getting supplies
at cost of manufacture.
The Albuquerque journal, the only paper in New
Mexico to which such law would apply has to buy
paper at double the cost per pound to large publj
cations There are hundreds of others throughout
the country in the same fix most of them making
no profit under present conditions. but unwilling
or unable add per to advertising charges
upon enterprising business men.
The tax advertising would slow up business
in many localities, because it would oppress either
the newspapers or restrict activity by merchants.
There would be fewer clerks and printers employed
Less goods would be sold and fewer people find ein-
ployment in slowed down mills But far as stop
ping use Of print paper congress would accomplish

rigation at the present time, and
to maintain this acreage it was
necessary later to construct two
small local reservoirs, to utilize
some of the flood water Of this
stream.
Practically all of the lands under
the Texas irrigation systems are
owned by private individuals and
not corporations, and a majority of
the irrigation systems are owned
by the farmers under the various
irrigation districts covering their
particular irrigation system.
The Texas farmers do not wish
to rob New Mexico" of irrigation
water, for they know too Well the
devastating effect of lack of water
for irrigation purposes, and are,
therefore, more anxious to increase
the water supply of the Pecos river
by the construction Of a large stor-
age reservoir, for which they are
willing to pay for, than to fuss
over adjudication of the rivers
present available water supply.
In the case of the Rio Grande
Elephant Butte Reservoir project,
mentioned in this article, the citi-
zens Of New Mexico were furnished
their irrigation water free Of
charge, whereas the farmers of
Texas are willing to pay for the
construction of this large reservoir
in question, which would, through
the conservation of the flood wa
ters, provide more irrigation water,
and thus avoid many hardsMps
that might arise to citizens of both
New Mexico and Texas if any other
course was pursued, a most laud-
able course which, we think, the
people of both states should heart
lily endorse.
Thanking you for making this
correction through the columns of
your paper, | beg to remain, yours
very truly,

MY DICTIONARY.

Until very recent day my

But now | look for "camouflage,
for "blimp" and buddy and
"barrage," and cannot
find sign or trace of such
expressions any place.
When Noah Webster, years ago,
compiled the words that folks
should know, ii seems he didn't
have in mind an era of the
present kind.
He mentioned prunes and sauer-

of jazz he didn't strike a note

WALL; Street
nv MORNING Jou.nAL ssse,Al LEASED w,rrt

New York, April 26.--An under
days moderately active stock mar
ket, sentiment among traders being
much heartened by the better
showing of the federal reserve bank
and clearing house at the end of
last week. ..
The railroad strike was consider
ed on the street to have lost some
of its recent threatening aspects, al
though freight congestion was still
acute. The street was inclined to
pay less attention to the Mexican
situation. judging from the strength
of stocks involved in the affairs of
that country.
There was an abundance of call
money at 7 per cent. the local sup
ply being fortified by offerings
from interior banks, but time funds
gave not the slightest indication of
relaxing from their long sustained
tension.
The decree of the United States
supreme court directing the disin-
tegration of the So-called coal
combine proved to be the real de-
yelopment of the day coming after
the session was more than half
over. Reading. the central feature
of the alleged combination, made
a net gain of 1914 points and af-
filiated anthracite and bituminous
coalers were TO 5 points higher
at their best.
Much of the early and interme-
diate movement converged as
usual, around steels, equipments,
motors and oils at extreme ad-
vances of 2 to 15 points. These We're
subjected to occasional realizing
sales, but rallied briskly before the
close, General Motors overtoppinG
all others at a gain of 1S1s points.
Shippings, tobaccos, sugars and tex
tiles were prominent for large deal
ings, American wool gaining l0A
on reports that some announce
ment favorable to the stockholders
may accompany tomorrow's publ
cation of the annual report. Sales
amounted to 1,033,000 shares.
Trading in bonds was light,
Reading four's gaining six points.
Liberty issues also made a good
showing, all but the y s closing at
gains. Total sales, par value. ag-
gregated s12,775,000. Old United

El Taso, Texas, April 20, 20,

Eel Paso, Texas, April 20, 20.
Editor Albuquerque Journal.
The writer's belated attention
has just been called to an editorial
in your paper under date of April
., entitled, would Rob New
Mexico" and as he has known The
Journal for great many years,
and appreciates its good intentions
in giving its readers correct infor-
nation in all matters of public in
terest, is the reason for prompting
him to correct a wrong impression
that this article might give regard
ing the construction of the Red
Bluff reservoir for conserving flood
waters of the Pecos River for irri-
cation purposes.
The Pecos River rises in New
Mexico and flows southerly out of
the state and across the west por-
ton of Texas, into the Rio Grande,
where its waters help to form the
international boundary line be-
tween the United States and Mex
leo, so that ii is at least an inter
state stream. if not an interna
tional one.
The waters of the Pecos River
have been used a great many years
by Texas farmers, there being at
one time, years ago, ten distinct
irrigation systems, all of which
We're carefully constructed, cover
ing a total Of over 10000 acres
of very rich and fertile soil.
This river, before its supply was
diminished for irrigation purposes,
carried large quantities of good
quality of normal flow water, but
since later irrigation systems have
been constructed and water used
for irrigation above them, it has
not only diminished the normal
flow, but has also impaired its
quality to such an extent that only
about 10000 acres of the 10000
acres is under cultivation, and ir-

Scott Ferris, who aspires to the
toga now worn by Thomas +. Gore
of oklahoma, whose term in the
United States senate will expire
next March, Is widely known in
democratic circles, chiefly through
his service as chairman several
years ago of the national congress
sional campaign committee of the
democratic party, Mr.. Ferris is a
Missourian, who now represents
one of the Oklahoma districts in
congress, and has done so since
1907. His professional training as
a lawyer was obtained in Kansas
City, following his graduation from
high school. In congress he de-
veloped qualities of political lead
ership which soon won him a high
standing among his democratic as
soclates. At home he is popular
and has a strong hold on his con-
stituents, Whether he is suffi-
ciently popular in the state at large
to win the senatorial nomination
from the veteran Senator Gore
will not be known until the vote in
the coming primary is counted.

J. w Buttriss, local fnancra1 director of the

tratlng the value of quick wit in relation to high
finance:
The young man was "broke" His lawyer in
formed him that in order to inherit his uncles for
tune he must first become member of the Metho-
dist church, which body requires a probationary
period of six months. The young man thought a
moment, picked up his hat and left without word.
Next day he returned with letter of membership.
"How did you do t?' asked the lawyer.
Simple" replied the youth. Joined the Con.

From a Santa Fe report deduct the following,
Ian any part of which is alleged by Tucumcari
restaurant keeper:
That two switchmen tried at Tucumcari to sell
said restaurant keeper white mule they said they
got out of barrel
That c. A. Dollarhide of the magcians
who got the white mule out of the barrel
That switchmen tried to sell this mule to him
by liquid measure and asked SIS per gallon.

In regard to the above have the following
to say:
That if we c. A. Dollarhidc going to tc!
him that mule must have had an awful "kicl" to be
worth the price asked
the hide of a mule; what want is the kick.
And that while sympathize with Mr. Dollar

mule turned out to he white elephant.
