Carl Stow Suggests Good Plan
For Better Potato Marketing

In a letter recently received
by R. r. Mitchell. President Of
The Monte Vista Commercial
Club, from Carl b. Stow who
now resides at Roswell, N.
Mex. Mr.. Stow tells why the
Monte Vista potatoes do not
command a high place in the
New Mexico markets, and sug-
gcsts a simple remedy.
II have just read in the Mon
te Vista papers of proposed
plan to load narrow gauge cars
with spuds at Monte Vista and
route them to Texas via Sante
Fe.
If the same rate can be OBJ
tanned on such shipments it
would probably overcome car
shortage some. but it is my
opinion that the greatest bene-
fits from such shipments would
come from the New Mexico
business.
Monte Vista is overlooking a
great market just to the south.
and at the present time only
supplies a very small per cent
of the potatoes shipped into
New Mexico. And too, Monte
Vista has a lower freight rate
on spuds to many points in the
The Monte Vista journal., 1920-05-29

state. and at no point ID the
rate higher than from other
shipping districts.
l have talked this matter .ov-
er with wholesale dealers and
brokers and in every instance
they tell me the reason they do
not buy more potatoes from
Monte Vista Ia because the po-
tatoes are transferred twice en-
route. Once 1T Alamosa and
also at Sante Fe. That when
the potatoes arrive at destina-
tion sacks are torn. spuds scat.
tered all over the car, there is a
shortage in total weight, and
delays in arrival of cars.
This condition must be cor
rected in order to get the New
Mexico business, and l suggest
that the Monte Vista growers
raise the funds and hire two
men during the shipping sea-
son and station one at Alamosa
and the other at Sante Fe, and
let them see that every sack is
in good condition, and placed
properly in the cars.
Nearly all the potatoes ship
ped to eastern New Mexico
came from California the past
year. Dealers say they prefer
The Monte Vista journal., 1920-05-29

to pay the IL cents additional
freight charges per hundred,
than to get the Monte Vista po-
tatoes under present shipping
conditions.
In my opinion this is a very
important and serious matter,
and one that is extremely cost
ly to the Monte Vista growers.
And l know that If. steps are
taken to deliver the New Mex.
leo shipments - you do the
shipments to other states, you
will be surprised at the volume
Of business you will do in this

In recently announcing plans for the coming school year Supt. J. E. Lantz stated that Juneau might well regard it's school it's greatest insttu- tion. He probably had in mind more than the financial investment represented by the building and the beauty of the building itself Undoubtedly he referred the things fro which the school stands and the part is is playing and will continue more ard more to play in the making of men and women who shall be Americans in every of the word and who carry the of upright citizenship in Alaska the very topmost peaks.

 Juneau and other Alaskan towns have not fallen behind in these things.

The result is seen in the records made by Alaskan students who have entered schools in other States Juneau has every to feel proud it's school only regards the building but for the boys and girls who have made it more than empty shell.

Budgets and Not Buster Wanted.

Partisanship aside and out of the question because importance of the subject matter it is to be said that the reply of the Republican Bureau to Governor James M. Cox's criticism of the financial policy of the present Congress is unworthy of use III the name of the partys nominee.
 Before the conventions were held and the presi- dential nominations made, the National Legislature was widely censured by the public and the press TOT laggard action There was nothing Of the partisan in this rebuke, which based upon the failure o the lawmakers to create budget system which would have responsibility the part of the eXecu- tive department for expenditures.
 It is because defenders of the dilatory Congress are employing the present reprehensibe, unscienfc and wastefu system archaic the fintock musket n cover the exposed delinquences that objection now is filed to evasion of charge which should have been met in manlier fashion. Equally culpable are the Democratic leaders of the past for their failure enact budgetary reform when they were alleu with power to do
 In the statement defense the Republicans assert tremendous reduction from estimates provided by the various departments of the Government and label this as a saving. This is the shallowest nonsense. The estimates prepared by the bureau chiefs and always are from to three times as much as It IS exDected they will receive. No official is armed with power to scale down these applications, nor IS there any authority outside of Congress itself to examine into their merit It is precisely this acute weakness that the budget system will eliminate Perhaps II IS because of very fact that the professional pot- icians of both parties have refused to enact the leg islation which they bloviatingly lndorse Ill thelr conventions
 The test of the professions now being made is the aggregate the amounts actually appropriated out or the treasury and the denias of the requests of the bureaucrats According to courageous Republican authority the incumbent Congress has little reason for cricizng its predecessor, whose faults of com mission and omission it has faithfully initiated Blus- ter will not cure the demerits of the inadequate sys- tenn Only the responsible executive budget will this
