querque newspaper asserted that
wholesale grocery business was as
sessed at 25 per cent of its value
Tor commercial purposes while a
house owned by the head of the
company was assessed at so per
cent of its sale price. Accepting the
republican testimony as true, it
would appear that not all the evils
and inequalities had been ironed
out of the New Mexico system.
Fruits of First Session.
The fruits of the first legislature
were rather small. House joint res
olution No. 8 was introduced by
Llewellyn, republican. II. B. 156,
providing for an income tax. and
H. B. 220, providing for a tax on
the output of mines. were intro
duced by Baca of Sandoval, pro-
gressive republican. H B, 235,
also proposing an output tax on
mines, was introduced by Llewellyn
and Moreno, republicans. These
laws failed to pass, but in the 1871 8
session, a law attempting to RENE
proved, however, so unsatisfactory
that great portion of it was al
tered by the 1915 legislature.
Three Bills Buried.
In the 1915 legislature, three
bills were introduced putting an ad
valorem tax on the tonnage of mine
output These were H. B. 157, H.
B. and H. B. 391 The suggestions
ranged from two to five cents a
ton plus surface improvements.
The bills were all buried in the

A'SAN 'ON'S'
Mario, Ohio, oct. 23.-Alluding
for the first time to the controversy
between President Wilson ana
Senator Spencer over the formers
Paris utterances regarding Amerl-
cas- part in maintaining European
peace, Senator Harding said to-
right that the version of the presi-
dents words recently published anG
attributed to Premier Bratiano, OF
Rumania, served to throw new light
en- the real character of article ten.
The controversy as to the exact
language used by Mr.. Wilson was
not itself discussed hy the renubll-
can nominee, who said it was not
his dispute. He added, however
that the ''belated testimony Of the
Rumanian premier is very inter
esting by way of confirming the
presidents objections to amending
the league covenant"
THE president said to several
senator's" he continued, "for one
of them l can speak definitely,
that any amendment would lead TO
demands by Rumania and other
small nations with attending en-
barrassment.
"All this emphasizes our obJec-
ton to the covenant as written.
Clearly the supreme control council
trespassed the rights of the smah
nations and assumed to decide thelf
very own political and economic
affairs, and then set about to main
tain the existing order of things by
the rule of force. 1t has been the
republican purpose to establlsh a
world association for the rule OF
Justice rather than force,
Clearly Europe understands
that which we are coming to know,
that the league as written commits
America to the armed support of
the four great powers in maintain
ing the integrity of their enlarged
dominions whenever attacked from
without. This is why America Will
vote its unalterable hostility to ar
ticle ten. When that is done we
may seek a new understanding,
one which will hold us unmort-
gagged to Europe and the orient"
The senator made no speech to-
day. but in celebrating his COM
ment on the Rratiano interview he
gave out several quotations from
Thomas Jefferson, Grover Cleve-
land and Woodrow Wilson, He

for Great Britain to Fol-

Washington, May II. President
,WilsOn was dissatisfied with the way
Great Britain had managed the naval
end Of the war up to the summer of
1917. and expressed himself emphat-
ically on this point in a confidential
address to the fleet at the time, Sec
retary Daniels disclosed today before
the senate naval investigating COM
mittes.
Wilson appealed to the officers of
the feet in secret rendezvous at
Yorktown shortly after America en-
tered the war to "throw traditions
to- the wind" and find new ways of
meeting the submarine menace.
Daniels said the navy department
long before the war was alive to the
Importance Of preparedness and was
taking every step toward that end.
Daniels said it took six months to
get the British approval of the North
Sea mine barrage project and if Ad-
miral Sims had urged the proposition
instead Of airing his own objections
it would have been adopted much
earlier.
