A BUDGET SYSTEM.

1t is a very sensible policy for family TO sill
down quietly and to earnestly make out family
budget of expenses for the year,
Let them decide how much must go for rent, OF
payments the home, for taxes how much
must go for groceries; how much for light and fuel
etc. Let father estimate his personal requirements
brother
Now that is all very fine and very wholesome.
And that is about the way the departments
and commissions and institutions do in making up
state budget of expenses in New Mexico
But suppose when father and the rest of the
family have added their expenses together they find
them to be $500 and then go on happily forgetting
that the family income is only SO 600 for the year
Anyone can financial disaster ahead and anyone
sheer folly because they failed to take income
into account.
Coed sense would have required pairing down
of all possible items until the total came within

financial storm cloud gathering the horizon,
Just so with the state. When all requirements
have been estimated, the prospective must

WILL CUT PRICES LAST?

Many authorities think that the wave of price,
cutting that has proceeded all the country is
only temporary furry They believe that nothing
has been done to reduce costs of production and
while these remain they are. prices must remain
the same level they have held for months.
- Also in industries, wages have been raised
and production has been curtailed by strikes as a
result of which prices must go higher.
Yet, the other hand manufacturers and
Wholesalers have had sharp lesson. considerable
share of the high prices was due to the conviction
OF producers and jobbers that the public will

July 10, 1920.

Albuquerque Morning Journal:
On June %, in a convention of
educators from all parts Of the
United States, which met in New
York. the following resolution was
unanimously adopted at the closing
session: Since. by the constitution
of the United States, no authority
to control or regulate education
within the states has been dele
gated to congress, we protest
against the enactment of the
-Towner bill or of any meas
use which tends to centralize at
Washington powers reserved under
the constitution to the respective
states or to the people"
At that convention, the arch
bishop of New York declared: ITO
centralize, in the hands of a few
men, an educational dictatorship
for the orty-eight sovereign states
of the union smacks of an usurpa-
ton of power and of empire that
makes the thoughtful wonder and
ponder much the drift of our
times.
