UNDERSTAND Us, PLEASE.

! Let one mistake attitude toward the min
ing, or other corporations, in New Mexico TOWARD
men who show political activity. We want TIL,
mines to do their just share toward supporting thu
state, whatever that may prove to be, but more
than their share. We want the leaders to have
power but not too much power
The railroads appear to be doing their approx
innate share. BY that statement we would not infer
that they are paying their exact proportion. They
may be paying somewhat too much or somewhat
too little But it seems apparent that there is nc
fragrant escaping of taxation by the railroads. Many
politicians are rendering the state real service.
We labor under the belief that just payment
Of taxes is being escaped by the mining and Other
large corporations, of the state These and machine
politicians generally will well to voluntarily as
sent TO just readjusment of taxes and a relaxing
of their strange hold.
We would advise prayerful consideration of the
following excerpt taken from the outlook of July IA
republican leader who remained with
the organization in 1912, recently said in the
course of a conversations "If the progressives
are looking for a justification of their move
ment they find it writ large in North and
South Dakota. Here are two states, homo
geneous in population and environment di-
Vided only by an imaginary political line. But
South Dakota has been under liberal and prog
ressive political management. Therefore it
has not succumbed to the radicalism which
has swept over its northern sister In North
Dakota, however, the political machine re-
fused to accept any of the doctrines of the
newer politics, when the break from the
old order came it in the form of po-
litical revolution South Dakota has been
saved from the state socialism of North Da-
kota because it was sanely progressive"
Certainly! 1t is the boiler with exhaust valve
which blows up.
1t is utterly impossible to allow grievances to go
unredressed over long periods of time without q
revolution resulting.
Either by evolution over period of time or by
a sudden revulsion which results in injustice will
progress come and ultimate justice be done.
The Journal is for progress We must evolve
toward civil and economic justice or we must face
radicasm in the near future. repressed people
with just grievances, will not "stay put"
With this in mind have today placed our
program at the head Of this column, where it will
stay until it, or reasonable modification of it,
succeeds.
If sufficient resistance is met to this very mod
crate effort at fair reform so that anybody gets
hurt sorry.

! | nave recently motored over long
| distances of good roads built en-
tirely at the expense OF some of
these companies, roads freely used
/ by the general public. Whether
the mining companies pay their
share of taxes in this state is A
question which, undoubtedly, after
| due investigation will be determined
but TO intimate that the railroad
companies or the mining companies
within the state do not, like every
body else, want good roads just as
fast as we can afford to build them
is, | am sure, quite unwarranted.
The Honorable Charles Springer,
who deVotes so much of his time

commission of which commission
he is the highly efficient chairman
is without doubt, one of the keenest
road enthusiasts in the state. He
is commonly supposed to be one of
the largest mine owners in the state
and one whose dividends are, for
tunately, retained within our
boundaries to the benefit and up
building of the state.
| notice in an issue of your AL
buquerque evening contemporary
of about the same date as that OF
your paper in which appeared the
editorial in question, the report of
an interesting talk by Mr.. Pearce
Rodey about taxation matters in
New Mexico. In the course of his
remarks he specifically enjoins his
hearers to consider carefully tho
road bond issue which he regards
as deceptive mode of raising rev.
enue unless the purpose is clearly
one the benefits of which will out
last the period over which the
bond issue has to run. He further
recommends that taxpayers care
fully study the comments of the as

1t is apparent that those who OBJ

issue at this time are not confined
to any particular group. In fact
| hope and believe that lines of
demarkation between groups and
factions are fast disappearing in
this state and that nearly everyone
is coming to the point of seeing
that we never can get very far here
unless we all unite for the common
good. You yourself must be inn
Dued with this idea for the general
trend of your writing is to that eff
feet. Is it not unfortunate, there
fore that the editorial in question
should leave the impression, as it
undoubtedly does. that for the
moment, your trend was towards
the aggravation rather than to-
wards the elimination of factional
and class feeling?

low stump bungalow one morning
reading the paper, when Nurse
Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, his muskrat
lady housekeeper, came out and
said:
Uncle Wiggily, | wish you would
do two things for me-"
with pleasure. What are they?'
asked the bunny rabbit.
Il need some new wooden shelves
put in the pantry" said the musk
rat lady, land / need some grated
cocoanue from the store, as l am
going to make a cocoanut custard
cake"
ooh, joy" cried Uncle Wiggily
and he twinkled his pink nose
twice as fast as a trolley car going
up hill. I'm go right away and
get the Sawfish carpenter, to put
up the shelves for you Nurse Jane y
went on the bunny uncle, land III
go to the store myself and get the
Cocoanut for the cake
SO, tucking his tall silk hat under
his paw, and putting his red, white
and blue striped rheumatism
crutch over his pink twinkling
nose, off the bunny rabbit started.
The first place he went to was the
duck pond ocean.

ME Wibblewobble, the boy duck,
who was swimming around in the
duck pond ocean.
"I'll call him." answered Jimmie,
as he flipped some water from his
tail on Bully and Bawiy No-Tail,
the frog boys. Soon along came
swimming Mr.. Sawfish, the car
penter gentleman.
Nurse Jane wants some shelves

said the bunny rabbit gentleman.
I'm just the boy for that
work" cried the jilly Sawfish car
penter, who had long nose with
saw~cutting teeth on each side
How many shelves does Nurse
Jane want?'
81 don't exactly know" answer
err Uncle Wiggily.
Wen, how long does she want
them and how thick, and does she
want them of smooth boards OF
rough boards, or wide boards OF
marrow"
II don't know" said Uncle Wig
gily, flustered like. Il don't
know"
"Tto, hum, 1t appears to me you
don't know much about it at all,
said the Sawfish. I'D better &c
with you and see for myself"
II guess you better had" said
Uncle Wiggily. II have my auto
mobile here on shore. So the
Sawfish, who carried his saw on
the end of his nose, got in the auto
with Uncle Wiggily and back they
hurried to the hollow stump bum
galow.
Here, Nurse Jane" called I'm
Gle Wiggily. 'Please tell the Saw
fish carpenter about the closet
shelves"
The muskrat lady did this, tell
ing how many shelves she wanted,
and soon the Sawfish carpenter be-
gan to saw them out of pieces Of
boards. The sawdust fell down in
little piles on the stoop, and Uncle
Wiggily watched it.
All of sudden the rabbit gen.
tleman jumped up and exclaimed:
MY goodness, me sakes aiiVe
and some soap bubble marmalade!
Oh. / forgot all about it,
Forgot about WHAT asked the
Sawfish, as he squinted along the
edge of a board to see II it was
straight.
Il forgot all about getting the
cocoanut for Nurse James cake"
answered the bunny rabbit. ana
here it is almost supper time! l
won't have chance to go to the
store, What shall l dor
Mr.. Sawfish made some more
on the stoop as he cut OFF
another board for the shelf. Nurse
lane was down in the garden pull
ing radishes for supper.
Have YOU any talcum powder
in the house, ana some powdered
sugar?" asked the Sawtish car
penter of Uncle Wiggily. :,
Yes, but they are not grated
cocoanut for q cake" said the pun
"No. but we can soon make them
into some" whispered the Sawilsn
winking one eye toward
Nurse Jane in the garden. "Brlng
me out the powdered sugar ana the
talcum powder
81 Irncle Wiggily did this ana
the Sawfish took a lot OF saWuas.
and mixed 1t up In a bowl WIN

in your editorial that the railroad
companies are against, good roads
because of the competition they
bring to the railroads and that the
mining companies are against them

mines are distributed outside the

foundation for either of these
premises. Anything, including
good roads that would improve the
country would benefit the rail-
