Although Knox was defeated sew

Barry is inclined to feel proud oil
the showing his team made against
the university eleven. especially In

Editor Morning Journal:
1t is painfully apparent that tax
alton is becoming too onerous and
unjust, and if carried to extremes
will clog the wheels of industry
and destroy the confidence of in
vestors in new enterprises that ar"
so necessary to our material ad-
yancement and future welfare,
Our energetic and well meaning
editor of the Morning Journal has,
in effect, suggested that an adj
valorem valuation of mines would
be instrumental in the proper
equalization of taxes. 1t is all
right to suggest such a remedy
were it possible of accomplishment,
otherwise it Is not worthy of con-
If my good friend will
tell us how to make an advalorem

is IT FAIR?

I
Editor Morning Journal:
| Does not the late action of organ
lied labor towards Governor LARA
zolo reveal the utter want of fair
ness toward him? They say 1--WE
condemn the action of Governor
Larrrazolo for his action in the re-
cent labor trouble at Gallup and
his action in general against organ
ICED labor during his administration
and do hereby protest his renomi-
nation to office in New Mexico"
This is a strong resolution, ard it is
entirely without any preamble
stating just what the governor did
against organized labor at Gallup
or anywhere else in New Mexico.
The mines in the vicinity of Gallup
were shut down for the lack of men
work them; and, owing to the Sc
verify of the weather if the mines
We're not promptly put into pro-
duCtive order, great suffering
would soon prevail among the peo-
pie for the want of fuel What did
Governor Larrazolo really do att
Gallup? He protected every man
that desired to work. He protect
ed every person that behaved him
self He destroyed no mans prop
erty. Who could have done better?
No person was insulted or in any
way misused in Gallup or anywhere
about the mines. VIII the publ |
take action against Governor Lar
raZolo without a clear statement of |
just what wrong he has been gull |
ty OFF Would not an-itemized ac-
count of these great wrongs be the |
proper thing to lay before the peo-
Pile? Would a plaintiff file his pc
tition in our district court merely !
stating that the defendant owed |
him a large sum of money, that he
had frequently demanded pay
ment and said defendant still
refused to make payment, where
fore Judgment is asked for the full
with interest and costs of
suit, and with such other and fur
ther relief that the court might
find him entitled to. Without an
itemized account would he not very
soon find he was great fool, and
his lawy-eS. if he had one, would !
be in the sAge list. Then l believe 7
the people, iMhe absence of any
itemized account of abuses com
mitted by Governor Larrazolo
against organized labor, will reject
the case as not proven. The spirit
of our law is not to condemn any
person without a hearing. And If
we ever lose that three generations
