TAXING THE PUBLIC TO HELP COX.

The following from the Chicago Tribune is too
good for us TO fail to reproduce it. Mr. Cox shows
how disingenuous politician be. The Tribune
pricks his toy balloon with neatness and dispatch:
"Mr. Cox at Columbus informed the popu-
lace that the democrats intend to inform the
public whence every democratic campaign dol
lar comes and whittier ft-goes We trust that
he will keep his word scrupulously We mere
" call his attention to the fact that the
source of some of these dollars already is
known. They come from the public, demo-
cratic, republican, labor, farmer, etc. They are
dollars raised in taxation and expended in sal
aries paid to democratic offceholders who
will spend more time from until Novem
Der trying to elect Mr.. Cox than they will
spend in transacting the public business for
which they are paid.
"Mr. Cox's campaign will be financed part
ly and in large part by taxation, and trust
that his accounting will include the amounts
of public money thus spent. If Wilson We're
republican the public money would be sDert
for Harding, but inasmuch Mr.. Harding
has no such advantage it would be ridiculous
TO permit Mr.. Cox to ascend any pinnacle Of
righteousness. Take it from u.s. he will not
stand long in that beatifc posture,
Harding as a candidate without tax
supported political organization will have to
depend upon the money freely given by peo-
pie who want him to be elected The as
sumption of Mr. Cox in advance of the event
that these contributions will be dishonest, he
being the beneficiary of contributions which
the people must make in their income taxes
and in their indirect taxes is flatterng to re-
pubcans who Involuntary will give money
TO Mr.. Cox and voluntarily give money to Mr..
Harding"
The Tribune confesses what Is doubtless true.
Mr. Harding would avail himself of the same OPP
portunity salaried officehoders in political
campaign.
But when the howl comes of Hardng's vast eX-
pendtures think of your last income tax report and
conjecture, to your hearts content, upon how much
of your remittance was Cox contribution.

LOVE FOR LAND OH FREEDOM.

at is good to get back into the United
States again"
That has been said by many people under vary
ing circumstances. Many persons returning from
business pleasure trips abroad have used those
words Thousands of khaki-clad soldiers returning
from the battlefelds of France gave similar utter
ance All were free and were returning to the land
of freedom.
ut is good to get back into the United
States again" Even Jack Johnson, negro, former
heavyweight champion pugist, fugitive from justice
for the past five years, found expression in those
words he crossed the international boundary fine
from Mexico into the United States. He had tired
of being a fugitive in foreign lands where he
glorifed, and decided he would rather come back
and spend year in prison, the imposed penalty for
his crime, than remain away. This is eulogy for
the exprizefghter, who long since has been in dis
repute in his own land 1t merely furnishes an illus
ration of the esteem in which liberty in this country
is held by one who must pay penalty of restricted
freedom in order to enjoy its liberties. Yet some
people think it should all be overthrown.

COUNTY GOVERNMENT.

This from contributor, stimulates thought:
The American people have come to the point where
they demand that all forms of government be made
efficient. The systems Of administration now
used were created many years ago and follow obso-
lete models. In those Odd days towns and cities
isolated units Now they closely joined
together and need a compact administration
County government has usually been better than
state city governments, but it has had it's own
faults and needs a general overhauling. Students
of cyics interested in the scheme of government
for Nassau county, New York, recommended to the
present session of the New York legislature by
seven leading residents of that county. This is
worth considering possible model for a general
REORGANIZATION of county government in New Mexico
The followin~ principles were worked out in this
proposed scheme of county administrations:
L. Consolidation of offices for great efficiency.
2. Removal of county roads from politics.
3. Provision for award of contracts to competi-
tive bidding,
4, "a single chief executive. with control oyer
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1920-07-29

finances and offices elected by the whole county
with comparatively long term of office and an ade-
quate salary this official to have veto power over
the board OF supervisors, and the budget-making
power
5. Short ballot. many officers to be appointed
by the supervisor large instead of elected by the
voters.
c. Consolidation of public health and charity
work for the county into central departments
:. Simpler township government with short
ballot and concentration into fewer hands.
The key note of these changes is concentration
of responsibility. That follows the business model
and it is the basis which business concern
achieves success

WAITING FOR CLIFFORD.
Chapter LxIv.

NUdDitF LAZY.
After he had gone / returned TO
the piano and played softly for an
other half hour AS i allowed my
hands TO glide over the keys /
thought of the pleasant evening l
had spent, of Hal Lockwood. Sure
ly Clifford must have been mis-
taken when he spoke of Mr.. Lock
wood as a man who made love to
every pretty woman he met. Hal
had never attempted to talk Of love
to me. He had been most conven-
tional. But then came an awful
thought-perhaps he did not call
me a pretty woman"
| jumped up and ran to mir
ror. Yes, | WAS pretty, if bright
eyes, regular features, a good COM
plexion and wavy brown hair made
a woman pretty. Clifford couldn't
have meant what he said about
him, or--perhaps there had been n
reason, after all, why he had not
made love to me. Perhaps he
thought me too young; and felt
like an, older brother or father to
me. That thought relieved my
mind immensely. 4 hated to think
it was because | was ugly or unin-
teresting that he had not attempted
to flatter me as he did the other
women he knew.

kimono Then | found an interest

JUST HOW TO BAKE A CHOC-
OLATE CAKE.

I have received so many letters
from brides asking me to tell them
Gust how" to bake a chocolate
cake (Which invariably seems to be
the fayorite cake of their hus-
bands) that j have prepared the
following article, written very
much in the way that | answered
such inquirers personally, in the
belief that other brides VINO nave
not written me may be Interested
A cake that never fails (ll one
will follow my directions accurate
ly) consists Of the following ingre-
dents: /. IL cups light brown
sugar, la cup butter, IL cup
sweet milk. 8 eggs, / 2-3 cups OF
flour sifted with l small teaspoon
soda, 2 squares melted unsWeeten-
ed chocolate.
Pint the cake together in the fol-
lowing way: Put the 2 squares or
shaved chocolate in a china cup
and place the cup on a hot part OF
the range in order that the choco-
late may melt. Now put into a
mediums sized mixing bowl the half
cup of butter and the l IL cups
of light brown sugar; cream these
together, then add the half cup OF
milk and beat we'll. Add the 3 eggs
next. breaking them into the mix
ing bowl and beat all well again.
Hold a flour sitter over the mix
ing bowl and put the 1 20 cups
of flour into the sitter with the
scant teaspoon of soda; sift TINS IN
to the bowl. Stir WELL and when
smooth add the squares of melted
chocolate. Beat vigorously and
turn the batter into three round,
well-buttered layer cake tins. Bake

Some Gubernatorial Talk.

Santa Fe Record: When all is
said the lob" of governor of New
Mexico is a mighty difficult little
proposition under present circum-
stances and the PROSPECTS are that
I It will not improve much very soon.
BY far the greatest number of
democrats who express themselves
in the matter prefer Judge Il. III.
Hanna for their candidate, but none
of them seem to be at all certain
that the Judge will be willing to ac-
cept it. Another strong possibility
| is II. il. Hall, formerly state treas
urer. Others are of the opinion
that the democratic candidate will
come from the Pecos valley, but do
not suggest any definite person,
simply letting the matter rest on
the assertion that they have plenty
of good timber in that locality, ID.
X. b. Sellers of Albuquerque has a
flew supporters, and several counties
have favorite sons, who do not at
tract very wide attention.
Up to two months ago most re-
publicans would have said that
there was a very little doubt but
what Governor LarraZolo would be
nominated, but at this time only q
few think he has any chance at all,
and those who think so are prob
ably influenced by their loyalty to
him, or their opinions that he
should be nominated on account of
political availability. Certainly the
indications from all over the state
are to the effect that iIis strength
with the republican voters is wan
ing. and that he is very unpopular
with the republican leaders and
those who take sufficient interest
in party affairs to attend either
state or county conventions. Judg-
ing by the expressions of such men
il does not look at this time as II he
will have the support of half the
counties in the convention.
Whether the opposition to Cow
ernor Larrazolo is justified is a
question. 1t is one which every sup
porter, OF. opponent, must and will
decide for himself. The main point
at this time is that the opposition
exists. and that it is developing in
volume and intensity as the time
for the convention approaches.

in a medium oven for from S5 to
As minutes.
Toward the end of this time the
oven door may be opened and the
cake peeked at. If the layers have
shrunk away from the edges or
the tins, and if they are raised ana
solid looking, they are likely to be
done. However,, the old test OF
sticking straw into a cake may
be tried if desired; if the straw
comes out free from batter and
clean, the cake is baked through.
At this finishing stage the begin
ner had better watch her cake
carefully lest it burn, opening the
oven door several times rather than
run the risk of charming q layer.
When the layers are baked, they
should be taken out of their TINS
at once and allowed to. cool, each
on a separate plate. When they
are cold, they should be put to-
gether with the following: 3 cups
of confectionerS' sugar mixed with
4 tablespoons of powdered cocoa;
nut this in a medium size bowl and
stir into it 3 10 tablespoons sweet
milk and teaspoon Of vanilla ex-
tract. This will be the exact con-
sistency to spread.
Place the thickest layer first on
a large cake plate Gf one happens
to be thicker than the rest; but
if, one chances to be slightly brok-
en- it is more advisable to put the
broken one at the bottom Of the
cake. Spread this bottom layer
with the chocolate mixture; put
on the second layer and spread;
then put on the top layer and
spread, brushing over with a Titles
white of egg or smoothing over
with a knife dipped in cold water

OIL cot al, electric Shock

So she did, and then along came
Sammie and Susie Littletall' tne
rabbit children. and then icahie
Johnnie and Billie Bushytaii, the
squirrels, and they had to try tne
new electric bell. And then, OF
course, Uncle Wiggily himself naa
to give the button push and RING

So when it was dark the two bad
chaps sneaked up to try to eaten
the bunny gentleman.
Now it happened, just before
this, that Uncle Wiggily had taken
the push button off the front of his
bungalow.
I'm not going to leave it outside
all night. Some one might take it,
said the bunny. So he uhscreWeo

wire sticking out. And when the
Pip sneaked up to play a trick on
Uncle wiggily only the wires were
there--the button was gone.
II don't notice anything white

together" said the Pip, who could
see in the dark. He put his paw
on the wires and gave. them q marc

I'm glad you did," spoke Nurse
Jane. i'That old-fashioned jingling

said the beaver lady, as the old
rabbit gentleman himself hoped

Tell me what again? How are

bunny.
"Oh, it's that old-fashioned door

Mrs. Flat Tail pulled it and it
didn't ring, and | didn't hear her
knocking, and she had to come
around back. Why don't you put

Il will" said the bunny rabbit.
I'm so to the store now and get

And he did. The rat gentleman
in the 20 and Scent store sold
Uncle Wiggily an electric bell, and
showed the bunny how TO fix il on
the door.
you run some wires from these
electric batteries to the bell, and
then to the push button which you
fasten on the door" explained the
rat gentleman. Then when any
body calls at your bungalow they
just push the. button. the ends of
the wires are pressed together, and
the electricity makes the bell
ring"
Fine" cried Uncle Wiggily.
with an electric bell we'll be
stylish enough for Nurse janet
With the help of Grandpa
Goosey Gander Uncle Wiggily put
up the electric tinker. Instead of
the old-fashioned bell pull there
was only a little white button at
the side of the bungalow front

You go out and push it, Nurse
Jane" invited Mr.. LongeaS, when
he and Grandpa Goosey had fin

QUIT TOBACCO
So easy to drop Cigarette,
Cigar, or Chewing habit

No-To-Bac has helped thousands
to break the costly, nerve-shatter-
ing tobacco habit. Whenever you
have a longing for a smoke or
chew, just place harmless No
To-Bac tablet in your mouth in
stead. All desire stops. Shortly
the habit is completely broken, and
you are better off mentally, phys
ically, financially. It's SO easy, so
simple. Get a box of MOTTO Bac
and if it doesn't release you from
all craving for tobacco in any
form, your druggist will refund
your money without question. No
To-Bac is made by the owners of
Cascarets; therefore is thoroughly
reliable.
