"THE GREATEST OF THESE"

day the announcement of a cam
paign to be put on by the Chill
dren's Home Society for funds with
which to equip and maintain a hos
pital for the free treatment of chill

ties and diseases.
Within the southwestern area
that would be served by such hos

than three thousand such sufferers,
practically all of whom could be
cured under proper surgical care,

large cash contributors to the
cause. as well. He loves children
and is deyoting his life to caring
for those not able to care for them
selves.
But on the scale now proposed,
the financing of such enterprise is
a matter for the whole people of
New Mexico, Arizona, west Texas
and southern Colorado. The cam
paign for funds should and will
center in New Mexico,
1t is peculiarly fitting that the
week preceding Sunday, May @
"Mothers' Day'-should be desig-
mated as the time for the active
work of raising $4,000 to be de-

pay for the medical treatment nee
essary to remedy the deficiency,
IT is the duty of the people gener-
ally to provide the means.
To give to each child a chance in

Rhymes Along the Road
THE UNIVERSAL CRY.
(By Bert Love.)

There is a Voice that haunts me on
all sides
Whithersoever do my feet essay;
pursues me as a phantom seeks
its prey,
And will not quit me. Like a ghost
it rides
The chariot echoes. Not
the voice of tides
That weep and laugh alternate in
their play
Like children, nor the voice of
winds that flay
The naked forest where the beast
abides.
For most I hear it in the city's
throng:
Yet from its dolor l have not
release
In thymy fields. 1t binds me like
a throng:
The universal cry that will not
cease aef ita

neck of Wrong
The heavy-throated human cry

TILE TAXATION PROBLEM.

In the halcyon days of the pro-
tective tariff abundant revenues
were at the disposal Of congress.
Tho country had the benefit of the
protection afforded by the tariffs
and was not much concerned about
how congress spent the revenues.
And, as matter of fact, to spend
the revenues congress had to be a
bit eXtrayagant.
The happy day has passed, how
ever. But the vicious habit en-
Eendcred OF those times abides
with congress still. Congress hates
TO become economical and is 10th
to keep books. But now that the
bulk of the revenues come from
visible taxation. the country has
become concerned over what con-
gress spends.
Revenues. the bulk of them, no
longer derived from indirect taxa
tion-they come directly from the
pockets of the people. Hence the
people are acutely interested in
what becomes of the money. An
other change-revenue no longer
exceed EXPENSES, necessary and in
vented. The treasury and the tax
ing committees at Washington are
hard put to it to make both ends
meet.
More and more the attention of
the people is centered on how
congress appropriates their money.
No airy and general explanation of
the necessity of high taxation is go
ing to satisfy the people. This APP
plies to republicans and democrats
alike. Economy and appropria-
lions according to q well thought
out plan, that is to say, a budget,
are the growing demands.
The announcement that no great
relief in taxation is possible for a
long time to come will not con-
tent the country. There are a lot
of ways in which money can be
saved, expenses cut down, The
government needs to apply eff
cheney, with a capital L, to its own
processes.
If, as Senator Aldrich said a
number of years ago. business
methods applied to government
would reduce expenses three hun
dred million dollars year, today
the same desirable operation, no
one doubts. would cut government
expenses a good. round billion.
The point is this. and politicians
of both parties should heed it: In
Aldrich's time the people really did
not care, whereas today they most
certainly do. Before the war. when
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1920-02-08

the bulk of the taxes came from
tariffs on imports and from the
tax on intoxicating liquors, tohac-
cos, oleomargarine and the like,
we could afford the most eXtrava-
CANT government on earth; today
we no longer can. Before the war
people did not feel federal taxa
ton; today they pay right out Of
their pockets what the government
demands.
Hence, the people are intensely
Interested. They want an account
ing for every dollar. They want
business methods in government,
They will not tolerate political eX-
penditures Of public funds by any
party. There must be necessity of
the sternest sort.
What is true of the federal gov
eminent is just as true Of state,
county and city governments. The
burdens of taxation fall upon the
people who make up the thrifty
economical class. They are the
people who keep the wheels going.
They are becoming impatient.

Silver City Enterprise: There
will come before the state legisla-
ture at the special session of bill
which will enable Grant and Sierra
counties to exceed the legal levy
for roads, the first important point
in the work of putting Silver City
and Grant county on a transconti-
mental route has been gained.
The Grant county section of the
route, starting from the Elephant
Butte dam, will lead through his
toric Hillsboro and Lake Valley and
from that point to the top of the
Black Range overlooking the fer
tile Mimbres valley, Santa Rita
with its great copper mines and
Hurley with its mill will surely
draw the eastern traveller. Tyrone
with its wonderful view of Inspira-
ton Point on the continental di-
vide furnishes one of the things
that tourists travel miles to enjoy.
Special points of interest and en-
tertainment will he furnished by
the Palomas Hot Springs and Fort
Bayard.
The connecting link is needed to
give the people of Grant and Hi
dalgo counties a short route to the
central and northern ends of the
state. by it a saving of ninety miles
would be made on auto travel be-
tween Silver City and Hillsboro, the
Elephant Butte dam, Albuquerque
and other points north and east.
The counties of Graham, Green
lee, ella and Marcopa in Arizona
and Sierra and Dona Ana in New
Mexico are anxious to cooperate
with Grant in establishing and
promoting this particular route.

STA is paying the ultimate penalty
for centuries of autocratic misruie.
Austria, even had she been free from
German influence, would have suf-
fered the fate that overlook her be-
cause her people had no voice in their
own government Other examples in
modern and ancient history might be
cited by the score to prove the point.
In each case the catastrophe has
come from the Unsuitable appetite Of
an individual for power, and his con-
sequent denial Of rights of his people.
"0ne-naan government in the Unit
ed States has not goaded the people
to the point of violence, but that is
the logical end of such rule if it is
not stopped in time. Fortunately the
people will assert themselves next
November and choose a man for their
chief executive who will not consider
himself the whole team In the
machinery which provides the means
for that popular expression, and in
the party rivalry that stimulates the
selection of the best candidate, lies
the security of the republic from
disaster due to individual egotism."

NO ONE-MAN
GOVERNMENT

The democratic party put Mr.
Wilson in the White House. Having
made use of the party to attain his
ambition the president promptly put
it aside, and proceeded to admins
ter affairs Of government according
to his own concepts. In his mind
congress was useful merely as a tool
for the purpose of approving bills
he submitted to it, thus fulfilling
what to him was but a technical re-
quirement of the Constitution The
best minds in his own party and
elsewhere, in congress or out. were
neither asked nor permitted to give
the administration the benefit of their
ability or experience in the formula
ton of politics. Four years after his
first election he saw that it would
be necessary once more to make use
of his party if he was to continue
at the head of the nation. He
brushed up his acquaintance potent
in political affairs, invented phrase
calculated to catch the ear if not
the reason of the people, and man
aged once more to secure enough
votes to give him another four-year
lease on power. That accomplished,
he again shunted aside the men who
had rallied to his support, and gath
cred the reins of government still
more firmly into his own hands. The
war aided in concentrating in him
alone the direction of all federal ac-
tivities. From that date Wilson has
been the government and the govern
ment has been Wilson.
The people have rebelled at last
against continued autocracy, and
have determined that the next presi-
dent shall be man not obsessed with
the idea that in him alone lies the
correct solution of every problem.
He must not be above taking and.
following advice from others, nor in
seeking it when questions intimately
affecting the public welfare must b
determined. A return to popular
government is what the people most
crave, and the candidate who presents
the strongest appeal in that direction
will receive the majority of the votes.
"And that is what warrants our
abiding faith in American institd-
tions. The people will not wait until
autocracy has secured such a hold
upon the nation that only a bloody

express their views before that time
comes, and in revolution of votes
throw off a yoke that has spelled
the downfall of many a nation not so
imbued with the spirit of self gov
eminent. History is replete with ex-
amples of governments whose peo-
pies have been humbled in the dust
because Of their hesitancy in asserting
themselves under the spell of sin
gle individuals ambition for control.
Lust for personal power has spelled
the ruin not only of him who sought
it but of the people who submitted
to his domination.

be a happy and prosperous nation
but for their acquiescence in the pas
