FLIMSY.
(Santa Fe New Mexican)


Judge M. C. Mechem is reminding
his audiences according to the re
publican publicity bureau that "Gov
ernor Mcdonald signed the mine-tal
law" that at was good enough fol
Governor Mcdonald" and tina
democrats voted for it."
This stuff has been peddled, al
first cautiously and then copiously
by the prevarication bureau-whict
depends on the proverbial short
memory of the public.
As a matter of fact Governor Nc
Donald mercilessly analyzed the vic
ious features of the Bursum tax leg
islation and informed the state that
he signed the bills because abso-
lutely nothing better could be ex-
pected from this legislature" and be-
cause the Bursum legislature had
trapped the state into a situation
where it must accept the Bursum
machinery or have the alternative
of no tax law system whatever.
"This law seemed to be absolute
ly necessary at the time" said Gov
ernor Mcdonald, "as we had no
state machinery that could be used
for any equalization or adjustment
of tax values" He was referring
to the Bursum tax law.
Whether it can be properly used
to obtain a just valuation of all
property in the state is not only
doubtful but | am of the opinion
that this cannot be done. The fail
ure of this bill and the failure to
obtain anything at this time would
have resulted in confusion through
out the state. If the law fails to
what is desired the
course to be pursued will be so
plain that no one can be deceived"
Governor Mcdonald, as Judge
Mechem well knows, took the same
position regarding the mine tax law
and placed his finger on the joker.
He said:
after the net value in dollars of
the output of any mine is deter
mined by the commission such val
ne shall be assessed not only in lieu
Of the mineral in such mine but al
so in lieu Of mineral values in any
and all contiguous lands held or
owned in the same right by the per-
son or corporation so taxed for the
future extension of such mining op-
grafton.
"This makes it possible for a
mining concern to attempt to make
he valuation of the net output COW
r all its mineral holdings"
They've got us in fix where
We can take this or nothing" was
Governor McDonald's position in eff |
'ect, "and rather than have utter |
confusion in the state l advise that !
We take what they give u.s."
And that was the position of the
democrats who voted for the law.
Judge Mechem knows this and he
ellis the public that Governor Nc
Donald and the democratic members
# the legislature endorsed the Bur-
um tax legislation and are just as
much responsible for it as the re-
ublicans.
Being thus a deliberate and in
entional effort to deceive the vot-
rs of New Mexico.

EARTH ROADS IN CONDITION
Drainage Is Chief Essential in Putting
Earth Roads in Proper Shape
Drag Must Be Used.

1t can be truthfully said that drain
age is the chief essential in putting
earth roads into proper condition. An
old Scotchman, an expert road builder,
aptly said that the three requirements
of good earth roads are, drainage. more
drainage, and still more drainage. e..
w. Lehman of the University of Mis-
souri, college of agriculture indorses
this sentiment and adds: Roads must
not only have good surface drainage
but must also have good underdrain-
age. Surface drainage is secured by
proper grading, adequate side bitches,
and by keeping the crown of the road
properly dragged. Stretches of road
that do not dry out quickly must be
underdrained by tile.
The drag must be used after each
rain. If the best results are to be Sc
cured. Don't go on the road while too
muddy, let it dry out sill Chilly: IL should
be wet enough, however, so il will not
crumble but smear. When properly
used, the drag brings thin layer of
earth toward the center OF the road
which is rolled and packed between
wet periods. If too much crown Is Sc
cured by dragging, the angle of the
drag should be reversed.
Getting the earth -oais graded,
bitches open, well drained. and prop
erly crowned by dragging is about all
that GAIA be done until the people are
ready to surface the road with gravel.
broken stone or some other surfacing
material.

In most states the motor-vehicle
revenues are devoted to the mainte-
nance and repair of the state roads
or other improved highways. These
states thus seem to have solved fairly
well the knotty problem of how to
secure sufficient funds to maintain the
more important roads under the ever
increasing traffic requirements. AS
both the traffic and the revenues in
crease with the number Of cars, there
exists possibility of so adjusting the
registration rates as to keep pace with
the ever-growing maintenance charges.

struction has been quite noticeable.
This Is especially true in those states
which have comparatively large
number of cars and only a small mile
age of improved roads. Thus, Illinois,
last November approved bond issue
Of $6O,OOO,OOO for the construction Of
system of state roads. The interest
and principal of these bonds are to be
paid entirely from the motor-vehicle
revenues. There is no doubt that these
revenues will prove sufficient for this
purpose. The main question which re-
mains Is whether or not a satisfactory
source of maintenance revenues can
be secured so as to prevent these
roads, when constructed, from dete-
