JUST PLAIN FACTS.

Now and then some one COM
plains that the journal is doing
nothing to assist in bringing down
the high cost of living, and a let
ter is just received in which it is
charged that this paper is handin-
glove with the profiteers.
The Journal has not seen fit to
try to make the air either blue or
crimson with cries of how the rich
are getting richer and the poor
poorer, because such cries are not
true. The income tax is seeing to
it that the rich are not getting
richer, and there is no poor man or
woman, able to work, who is not
better off financially than that
person ever was before, unless that
person has refused to make use of
the opportunities to work.
The Journal knows that there is
plenty to eat and wear and money
with which to buy. 1t knows
that prices are high, because it has
seen its own paper bills rise from
fourteen hundred dollars a car, laid
down. to nearly forty-five hundred
dollars. Also it knows that the
news print manufacturers are
making less money than they made
in the days before the prices be-
gan to go up.
Formerly pulp or paper came in
large quantities from Canada and
from the Scandinavian countries.
Now neither paper nor pulp comes
from Canada or from Europe. The
American pulp woods have gone
up to abnormal prices, and labor,
the great factor in production, can
not be had, even at three times the
price formerly paid. Freight
charges have advanced forty per
cent.
The fact is, We are up against
European competition for all the
necessities of life and for some of
the Injuries. 1t may be that the
farmers and the beef and pork
raiscrs are profiteerinG. If so,
there is no way TO regulate the
prices charged by the producer.
When a man owns a thing it is his
privilege to sell it or hold it, eX-
cept in time of war.
IF the farmer can get two dollars
q bushel for his corn for export. he
is not likely to take twenty five |
per cent less at home in order to
reduce the high cost of living. We
of America must pay the price
necessary to meet foreign buying
competition, or we must do with
out. That is the whole proposition
in nutshell.
The Journal merely has told the
facts, and has not sought to make
itself popular by catering to a
spirit that usually is cultivated by
demagogues for their own ad- |
vancement. For some reason it is |
popular to tell people how they are
being oppressed, even when there |
is not a word Of truth in it, and
when they know there is no truth |
in it.

FARM LOANS WISE MEASURE.

In some financial circles criti-
cism is made because farm loan
bonds sold to secure funds to lend
to farmers are exempt from in
come tax requirements and other
taxation. The object is solely be-
cause the result is to lower the in
terest rate to five per cent to bor-
rowers who had 10 pay higher
rates to lenders when able to bor-
row at all. The issue of such bonds
IS but $350,OO0,00O, and the pur-
pose justifies the measure.
AS a general thing farmers in
sundeveloped regions have had to
pay almost prohibitive rates and
much of their labor has been alb
sorbed by money lenders, develop
ment retarded. and resources OF
The land not been utilized so rapid
ly as the nation needs the products

production cheapens the cost to the

WHY HAMMER NOW?

The office at Santa Fe, of the
State Taxpayers association, is
knocking against the special ses-
sion of the legislature. quoting col
lectively some forty members
known to be against such meeting
on account of the cost, whatever il
be. The session was decided upon
after conference at Albuquerque
of more than fifty democratic COM
mitteemen from over the Rtate,
presumably taxpayers and men ia
miliar with public opinion, had re-
quested the governor TO assemble
the legislature. The citizens who
compose the state committee of the
republican narty conferred with
the governor and endorsed the pe-
tition from representative women
of New Mexico, many of whom are
taxpayers, for a special session to
be called. Why keep knocking?
Instead let association members
seek to have the legislature cut out
waste.

PREDATORY ANIMALS
ARE BEING POISONED
IN RAMAH VICINITY
Especial Correspondence to The Journal }

NSpeciHi correspondence 10 Inc JOurniil,) }
Ramah, n. NJ, Jan. 22.-E. f.
Pope of Albuquerque, was here this
week supervising the work of his
assistants in their efforts to poison
the predatory animals.
Owing to the rough and broken
nature of this country and the
amount of cattle and sheep raised
in this vicinity the coyotes. Wild
cats and mountain lions have had
an easy living hereabouts.
Since the first of the year Messrs.
Wyatt of Roswell, Barron and, Sill
vester of Magdalena experts in
eradicating the range of wild ami
mails have been working this coun-
try, under the supervision of Il. r.
Pope, who is the state manager Of
the work for the biological survey.
A few sheep and several calves
have been killed this winter by the
coyotes, but the efforts of the gov
ernment poisoners have been so
successful that there are very few
predatory animals left.
The methods of poisoning is to
drag a piece of old meat over the
trails on horse back and to throw
pieces of pork fat in which there
is strychnine in the track made by
the drag. one man can drag as
much as ten or fifteen miles Of
country in a day. Any wild animal
crossing the trail scented with meat
will follow the trail until he. finds
one of the fatal morsels lying along
the path, The dead coyotes are not
always found as they sometimes
travel a long ways before dying.
When the Carcasses are found
they are skinned and the hides are
stretched and turned into the gov
ernment which holds Il sale OF all
the skins thus secured.

preciable extent The best of the
banks have come to regard the
farm loan act as wise, helpful to
communities where bank capital
is insufficieny and where otheF
classes of borrowers absorb bank
funds at higher rates of interest.
An instance in New Mexico
which serves to show how farm
loan funds reach localities where
bank funds are not available
at rates homesteaders can afford
to pay for money with which
TO improve their property and
hurry it to profitable stage,
can be found at Hope, in the
Penasco valley in Eddy county.
The local paper states that over
100000 in farm loan funds has
been expended by settlers in
agricultural development in that
locality, which is far from a
railway and had been greatly re-
tarded because the people who To-
Gated there had little money TO
commence with and had small bor-
rowing capacity, paying interest
rates that handicapped them. That
is the history of every agricultural
locality in New Mexico.
The people can borrow more, eX-
pend it in home building and stock
raising, more easily get upon their
feet and out of debt under the
farm loan act than otherwise.
Criticism that loaning on farms |
is class discrimination does not |
have much weight. 1t is not the |
that supplies the cash.
The bond buyers know that land |
security is good, but would look |
askance upon measure TO have |
the government issue bonds to sup
ply capital for merchants or for |
manufacturing business.

Brutal Murder in Martinsburg.

One OF the most brutal murders that
has ever occurred in this sesioD took
place in Martinsburg last Thurs IA az
ternoon, when Mrs. Natrona Belle
Brown was beaten to death with a
shotgun by her husband, Charles w
Brown. Domestic infelcity is the
most probable cause Of the murder.
Brown. who is said TO have had an un-
governable temper. Thursday after
noon went 10 the hsme of a neighbor,
Calvin Conner, and borrowed a shot
gun, saying he intended to shoot black
o.rtS. mere were no cartridges for
the gun, tut he hurried of with it,.

home and while she was attending to
her household duties. She had resist
ed him to the best of her ability, for
furniture and dishes in the dining
room were smashed and blood was
spattered over the place. They had
run into the kitchen, and here he had
broken the gun over her head, admin.
istering the final fatal blow. She was
found here lying in a pool of blood
with her skull fractured She was
taken to the City Hospital. where she
died few hours later without having
After having fatally injured his wife.
Brown made an attempt to commit
suicide by cutting his throat with an
old razor. He did not cut deep
enough, however, and though he lost
a good deal Of blood, he will recover.
After his desperate deed Brown fled
from the place, hiding himself in a
hollow south of Martinsburg. The
State constabulary and local officers
were searching TO rhim in every d.
rectlon when about o'clock in the
evening, weak from loss of blood, he
made his way into town and gave him
self up. He was taken to the hospital,
where his wound was dressed and a
guard was placed over him. Thc MUIR
derer made rumbling statements con-
ceTnlng the affair, seeming TO be dazed
Tor some hours. 1t is believed that he
was under the influence of home brew
ed liquor, as there was a suspicion tina
he had been making cold hen" He
accused his wife of infidelity, but the
neighborS say his charges were not
justified. He is said to have been
angry with her because she would not
turn over to him the money she earn
ed at the knitting mill.
Brown, who was a native of Fred
erick county, Va, is about so wears
old. His wife, whose maiden name
was DeHaven, was AZ years old. The
