CITIZENSHIP WITH A CONSCIENCE.

At the peril of being considered "preachy" the
Journal wishes to emphasize again the RESPONSE
bilities of citizenship
Our sense of duty as husbands, wives or bust
ness associates is well developed in New Mexico
Hearthstone loyalty and honor in business trans
actions are the rule rather than the exception. 10
make "our word as good our bond" is the
well developed ambition of most men and women
But this is not so true always in public
relations. To has come the honor of being
American citizens. With the honor and the priv
ilepe has also come duty. 1t is a duty stern
as the duty of loyalty to family. 1t is the duty
of LOYALTY to the welfare of the whole, great Am
erican family of people.
The mother does not seek her personal adVan-
tage to the injury of her children. Brothers and
sisters learn fairly well the give-and-take of justice
to each other. Their tuteage has been to be Just
to each other.
Yet often it ends there. We take a political
position based upon prejudice or personal adVan-
tage We often forget the duty to vote for the
common good and proceed to vote for the most
sordid personal ends Strangely enough, our moral
sense often is not developed to a point where our
consciences chide us for unseemly selfishness
and disregard for duty.
Dishonesty or faithlessness of public officials
to the trust reposed in them does not shock us
as it should. If we find them stealing money we
may be shocked We have been taught not to
steal money But they can bride with office or
can corrupt the ballot, with small protest from our
moral natures We regard it as politics
our duty of insisting upon public service as
the test for public preferment, is neglected. We
often regard public administration a paythins ana
our ballot commodity to barter for our personal
advantage.
This inheritance of American citizenship, bought
with the blood of our forefathers, and our most
valuable legacy to pass on to our children, needs
a new conservation to service in this generation.
Our conscences should play larger part In its
exercise.

THE STORY TELLIN' MAN.

Sometimes there is a funny man comes to our
house for tea,
An when we've finished supper he just takes
me on his knee
An tells all sorts of stories about pirates an

Or cowboys that go walking with real pistols
on their hips
An the Indians who used to scalp their VIC
tins; till it seems,
All night am cowboy KILN Indians in my
dreams.
When I know that he is comm you bet don't
To race around the streets an play. but just
wait about
Till he's finished with his supper, then / climb
up in his chair
An Ma says I'm a nuisance, but he says ne
doesn't care
An he starts another story an afore he's hair
way through,
NV insides get excited coz it seems so real an
true.
The story-ten' man just knows the tales
like the best,
With men and horses in EN- an the mountains
way out west,
An the praires an the fightin' an the stars
that shine at night,
With the red skins in the distance fixin' up to
start fight
Once l asked him where he learned EN- an ne
grinned at and said:
He couldn't tell exactly--they just popped nto
his head.

to me

TWO WRONGS.

One of the tritest yet most often forgotten
axioms is the to the effect that 1.-TWO wrongs
do not make right"
From the time begin to reason, we see our
elders justifying their actions with the excuse
that the other fellow started it first" We carry
this principle to school with us. and many of us
use it for our guidance throughout life.
The same is true in national affairs Ireland
is a recent example of this. Because Irish nom
combatants have murdered British police and
soldiers, the latter have committed similar out
RACES on other non-combatants, regardless of
whether the latter had been guilty of any offenses
not
Like ray of sanity pouring in through the
window of a madhouse, is the resolution passed
Saturday in London declaring that the government
should abandon all attempts to repress crime by
crime and demand immediate action to restore the
supremacy of law and ORDER and to secure recon-
citation of Ireland with England"
Former Premier Asquith denounced the murder
of policemen and soldiers and the lawless excuses
which; in turn were allowed to be perpetrated by
officers
When it is possible for men to see that their
side is partly in the wrong and that immediate cor
receive steps necessary, there is still hope for
a nation for individuals.
We have scrupuously abstained from passing on
the merits of the Anglo-Irsh controversy We have
done SO because we do not possess the facts. Con-
Trajectory reports from both sides. We know,
on the one side. that Great Britain has committed
many blunders and condoned many crimes in the
administration of affairs in Ireland, In a general
way, we believe that if Ireland wants to be free,
she should be given her freedom, if the principle
of self-determnation for which, among other things
the war was fought is to prevail
on the other hand, the Irish people themselves
seem to be in hopeless confusion and disagreement
as to what they want Furthermore, as Americans
we cannot sympathize with the evident efforts OF
some of their leaders to embro the United States
into a quarrel with Great Britain, with which we
have been at peace for century
In passing this question, we must remember
that to take sides either way, would be needessy
to antagonize the millions Of Irish Americans or
the millions of Anglo Americans who form a
valued part OF our population. AS we have point

me. Probably he had some little
misunderstanding with Mabel Hor-
ton and that was the cause of his
looking badly.
Elsie wrote me that she was GO
ing to stay abroad for an indie

reading, kept me too busily en-
ployed to be unhappy. Then my

AS the People View It"
The Publication of the Delinquen
H,avAl

The Publication of the Delinquent
Taxes.
Editor Albuquerque Morning Jour-
nal, Albuquerque, n. M.
Dear Sir:-I note that you wish
all citizens to comment on the pro-
posed changes in our state laws
and administration, and also note
that the commission on legislation
has recommended that the publi-
cation of the delinquent tax list be
abolished. l desire to call your at
tention to this vicious law as it
has been applied to Guadalupe
county.
Previous to this year the publ
cation of the delinquent tax list of
Guadalupe county has annually
cost the county $500 to 5000. This
year the delinquent tax list publ
cation was published in newspaper
called the Santa Rosa Sun (El sob
and principally owned by the pres
ent sheriff of the county, the coun-
ty commissioners have approved a
bill for the publication of the de-
linquent tax list of 1919, for the
amount of $7,415.S1. Twenty per
cent of this has been paid and the
balance will be a judgment against
the county to be paid in the flu
ture. The work of printing this list
was done by the Las Vegas Optic
at a cost to the "Sun" of S1,161.25
Now Mr.. Ward. our district at
torney, says in a letter to the writ
err that this is a vicious law and
that he personally has tried to have
the law repealed by several past
legislatures, but that there is al
ways, a newspaper lobby which
during the legislature prevents the
repeal and this law keeps half the
counties of our state bankrupt.
Our county commissioners APP
proved this bill for the sum oil
$7,415.S1 for this publication or
the opinion of Mr.. Ward, whose
opinion shows that while while the
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1920-12-07

law is vicious there is no way not
to approve it, etc.
A petition of taxpayers was pre-
scented to our district court for an
injunction against the approval of
this bill, but the judge decided that
the publication complied with the
present law and it is supposed that
the only way to have a vicious law
repealed is to enforce it.
The publication of this delin-
quent tax list by the Santa Rosa
Sun is an ingenious idea and in
some respects ridiculous. T h e
publication includes some hun
dreds of town lots in the defunct
townsite OF Los Tanos in Guadalupe
county, and the bill for publication
of lots delinquent costs the county
over $1,400, when the whole town
site is worth probably $3.50. Also
the list publishes some fifty to sew
enty-five lots in the townsite of
Vaughn which have no existence.
These are all facts, and we're
brought out in the late campaign
| by the county democratic candi-
dates, but it is doubted if the tell
| lllS vi NItSG laws " bIlS NOlNtSg Co-
pecially the women voters, changed
vote against the county republic
can candidates.
Now it is up to the legislature
to change this vicious law and
while it was stated in the late cam
paign that all of the taxpayers
would have to stand for the pay
ment of this ingenious bill for the
publication of the delinquent list
of 1919, and that the Judgment
levy for 1921 had been doubled to
pay especially this bill, it is surely
hoped that such an outrageous bill
will never be approved in the flu
ture against this Guadalupe, or
any other county, in our state.
