Wool Prices

THE OTHER end Of the high price proposition sometimes
looks different, It certainly does in the case Of wool
According to the wool growers Of New Mexico If they sold
their crop they would lose from 100000 to 100000
IF the interests of the wool growers be pooled and the
product thus held for better prices loss be prevented
In three months, the wool figure they realize
As to so cents pound Thus by holding the wool for
few months millions IN actual money be brought
into New Mexico and the southwest generally.
Although offers low 10 cents New
Mexico banks lending high 20 cents pound on
crops tide the growers and to stabilize the market
during the period Of depression.
Now how many viii vote to keep up the prices Of ready
made suits to help the wool growers7 Do hear
an aye?
Somebody suggests that the depression in the wool
ket is due to high clothing prices reducing sales Of ready
to-wear. Discussion is in order.

The following quaint document Is
a treaty of peace signed in March,
1921. between the English settlers and
the Indian braves. at Plymouth, Mass
The treaty was drawn up in a week
and, the record reveals. the Indians
took an important part in drawing up
the covenant. MassasOyt "signed" the
document on behalf of the rest Of his
nation. and is the che" referred to
in the six clauses. The white men
are referred to in the plural form.
81. That neither he nor any Of his.
should injurie or doe hurte to any
of the peOpl.
''2. That if any Of his did any hurte
to any Of theirs. he should send the
offender, that they might punish him.
SO. That If anything were taken
away from any of theirs, he should
cause it to be restored; and they
should doe the like to his.
~. If any did unjustly war; against
him. they would aide him; II any did
war; against them, he should aide
them.
"5. He should send to his neighbors
confederate, to certifie them of this
that they might not wrong them. but
might be likewise comprised In the
conditions of peace.
&c. That when their men came to
them, they should leave their bows and
arrows behind Them"
This treaty was kept for fifty years
without any amendment.

Rat Skins for Leather.

Several rat skins, tanned by a well
known naturalist, have been used In
making a pair of gloves, though the
prepared skins are rather thin and
fragile. Some years ago thousands of
rat skins were imported from France
and made into leather, but the manu-
facture was not a commercial success
A pair of shoes made from the skin of
the rat proved as soft as the finest kid
but it took six skins to make one pair,

Case for Utilities Commission,

In the order issued by the pubho
utilities commission delegating 70 inc
Judge OF the United States d'str'e'
court authority to regulate the fare 70
he charged by the Memphis stree'
Railway company appears the Following
paragraph: -,
"whether the results at the end OF
both the first and second three months
periods require a change In the rate OF
fare either up or down, must be de-
termined by the United States district
court of the Western district OF rem
nessee under the provision Of the said
order OF the utilities commission re-
lating to that subject, based upon the
sworn reports by the receivers OF the
street railway to be made at the END
of said three months periods
The order issued by Judge Mccall
and subsequently concurred In and re-
issued by Judge Cochran. is clearly in
violation OF the stipulation Of the util-
ities commission.
The increase in street car fares from
6 to cents is based upon the report
of operation made by the receivers for
the months Of April. May and June.
The receivers have nothing upon which
TO base their claim that the deficit they
were able to show by an artistic manip-
ulation OF figures for the first three
months will obtain during the months
of July. August and September
The public utilities commission ex-
pFessly stated that a change in fare
should be based on the results at the
end OF both the first and second three
months period" and should insist upon
the observance Of this order, even II II
should be necessary for the commission
to withdraw the authority granted to
the Judge of the federal court
There is nothing In the public utilities
act authorizing the commission to dele O.
gate authority for a change in rates
TO any individual, official or tribunal.
and the commission should accept the
responsibility for making any change
that may be required.
Mayor Paine should at once apply 10
the utilities commission for an or.ar
re-estab hshng a scent fare until op-
portunity is given for thorough IN
vestigation OF the claims OF the re,
ceivers.
1t is a matter Of common knowledge
that the receivers Of the street rail.
way company have done nothing &c
curtail expenses In wages. material OF
operation.
The authority given the cour, TO base
the fare upon the cost Of operation
with no restraint to keep the recelv-
srs within reasonable bounds In con

one that will not necessarily stop al
7-cent fare. II the receivers, BY
increased cost Of operation. can forct
the fare to cents. they can as reao.
lily force 1t to s. 9 or 10 cents
We opposed the creation OF public
utilities commission and the enactment
of the law invalidating contracts be
tween the city and the public service
corporations. and the public Is now
reaping a harvest from this unwist
legislation. However, 70 long as the
law remains on the statute books the
utilities commission should exercise IL
