Francisco ArgueIIo Attempts
Suicide at Alameda; Ad-

Francisco Arguello, a resident of
Albuquerque, attempted suicide
near Alameda last night at about
9 o'clock and was brought to a
local hospital about midnight in a
critical condition.
Four shots We're heard by the
family of w, J. Hyde at o'clock
in front of their home near Ala

thinking that someone was shoot
ing for the fun of it. About an
hour later q man knocked at their
door. He had found Arguello
crouched down in the seat of his
car. He had been shot through
the mouth and several of his teeth
blown out. There was also a
wound over the heart.
Arguello talked at intervals. He
said he wanted to die; he had fired
the shots himself-four of them
A. revolver was at his side with
four empty shells in the cylinder.
He said that he would tell his story
if taken into the house, but the
women, having tsi~'.honed for an
ambulance, took blankets out to
the car for him and waited. Ar
guello spoke of his mother in Los
Angeles but did not remember her
address.
Mrs. Hyde believes Arguello to
be an agent taking orders for the
enlarging of pictures, and that he
was just returning from a trip to
Bernalillo in his car when he de-
cided to attempt suicide.

not be favored at the expense of
the other people of the state. He
cited the Chino as an example of
the companies regarding taxes,
showing that company never to
have invested but $1.S75,000 of
original money and to have paid
$40.000,000 in operating profits in
six years. Last year the Chino
took out more than $10,400,000
worth of ore and it has 5000, ,000,-

statement Yet 1t pays only 1921
600 in taxes and believes that is
too much, and to prevent any ad-
justment of its taxes on higher
basis it has spent more than $780,
900 in newspaper propaganda In
two years.
How Other Concerns Pay.
This money. Judge Hanna said,
would have been far better paid In
taxes and would have gone far to-
ward paying the taxes the Chino
is actually lodging. He said the
Burro mountain at Tyrone. with
about $12.000,000 invested. pays
only $4,000. and the Gallup
American, with about 100000
invested, pays neatly nothing. He
cited the northern coal mines as
bad offenders, and said that ST.

New Mexico taxes from the mines

now rests upon the business men,

Santa Rosa. n. M, Sept. 15,-
The democratic campaign in New
Mexico was formally opened here
this afternoon with addresses by
Judge r. II. Hanna, candidate for
governor; Antonio Lucero. candi-
date for congress. and r. e. Put
ney of Albuquerque. The occasion
was the democratic convention of
Guadalupe county.
Judge Hanna. speaking to a
large and enthusiastic audience,
declared 1t his purpose, If elected
governor. to insist upon an eco
nomic administration. but at the
same time not in any way to Grip
pie the needs of the state through
any penny-wise pound-foolish pol
icy. Also, he said there should be
no foolish policy of taxation that
would discourage investment by
men of capital, nor should there
be a tax rate on the home owner,
the merchant. the manufacturer
and the livestock man so high as
to discourage them.
How Taxes Have Mounted.
Judge Hanna cited the fact that
taxes have mounted during four
years of complete republican con-
troll, from $4,300,000 to $4,000, 900
in 1919. and the estimated taxes
for 1920 are about $4,000, 900.
This vast increase. he said, has
given the people no adequate re-
turn for the burdens imposed. 1t
has gone largely for roads that
have not been built or improved,
for offices to pay political debts,
and not for better pay for the
teachers upon whom the future Of
the state rests.
He said the mines have not been
paying anything like the livestock
men and the railroads. the home
owner and the merchant. He
would not have a taxing system
that would cripple the mining in
dustry in any way. but they must

able to Agree on Candi-

Santa l'e, Sept. 15.--Following
several hours conference this af-
ternoon and tonight, the republican
state central committee adjourned
until Friday without having named
II candidate to fill the vacancy on
the state ticket caused by the res
ignation of II. II. Grille of Afbu-
querque, nominated for the place
Of lieutenant governor at the state
convention at Albuquerque.
While no statement was made
public as to the cause of the fail
ure, it Is understood that some of
those favored had not finally con-
sented to accept the nomination il
rendered and 1t was agreed to let
the matter go over until Friday,
when final action could be taken.
Several possible selections were
discussed.
The matter of the eligibility of
Davis and Cahoon, two of the three
presidential electors, was also dis
cussed thoroughly during the ses-
sion. The question had been raised
that both being bank officials in
federal reserve institutions. they
are therefore technically federal
officers and ineligible under the
requirements that an elector hold
no office of trust or profit under
the government.
While the question is considered
10 be a sheer technicality, it was
decided to clear the matter up
fully and a telegram was sent to
VIII HAYS. chairman of the nation
al republican committee, asking his
opinion. A reply is expected from
him tomorrow and will determine
the action Friday. The majority of
the members of the committee
were inclined to view this objection
lightly.
