Every Community in New Mexico Should Have a Man at This Meeting

Western States Reclamation association in Salt Lake City on No
vember 20 and 30. This whole matter Of the work the west must do
that meeting, with the specific purpose Of getting behind the pend
ing reclamation bills now before congress, which appropriate rela-
lively small sums for continuing and expanding present projects,
including the reclamation Of our own portion Of the Rio orande
valley.
New Mexico, If IL is awake to is own interests, viii contribute
men and money to this cause. Its progress means our progress. It's
success means our prosperity. Its failure means our disaster.
Governor Mechem is to appoint a set of delegates to attend this
meeting. The governor should do more than that. He should head
the New Mexico delegation in person. He should take with him
the state irrigation engineer and the state board Of water commits.
sioners. He should employ the influence of his office to see to it that
the men he appoints as delegates to this convention are men who
win attend II.
The local Rotary club has been asked TO name a delegate and
has done so. The Chamber of Commerce should see that IL has q
representative and so should every other chamber Of commerce and
every other county and community in the state. New Mexico is
looked upon as a weak sister in cooperative work Of this kind. It's
q bad reputation to have. 1t will hurt this state when federal rec.
lamation is finally achieved on a bigger and broader plan; as it Ger.
into the front ranks Of this movement 1t will work wonders for the
state when the time comes TO determine on the reclamation program
and what states and projects are to be included.
New Mexico has dropped some $50 0oo.ooo Of taxable valuation
this year. There is one sure way to get that valuation back many
times. That way, of course, is by reclamation Of the land we know
can be reclaimed. 1t is the one absolutely certain way to create
property values that cannot be deprecated as we have seen mining
and livestock and grazing land values depreciate during the past
ten months.
New Mexico alone can do nothing. Our representatives in con-
grsss, no matter how bard they work, can do nothing alone. They
must work in cooperation with other western members Of congress.
But even they viii not succeed in getting for New Mexico what New
Mexico must have to grow, unless New Mexico people cooperate
with the other western states in the preliminary work and founda-
ton building that must be done.
This convention at Salt Lake City offers New Mexico its chance
TO start on its way TO industrial progress. There are one or more
men in every community in this state who are equipped by knowl-
edge of the need and personal equipment to take positions of lead.
ership in this new reclamation campaign. Governor Mechem should
assemble those men around him and lead them to Salt Lake City.

When folks howl about government by small minorties, Just fg.

Much OF the trouble with government in this land Of the free and

and who's running il.

NEFEAT of the sales tax in the senate has in no way discouraged
TX the advocates Of that form Of federal taxation, as contrasted with
~ the present system, which seems likely TO be continued for the
present. Indeed. il is beginning to appear that Senator Smoot was
not far wrong when he said that a majority in congress had failed to
correctly appraise the sentiment Of the country. While it may not
be true that th~reefourths Of the people are now for the sales tax, it
is fairly evident that il is gaining favor and active support with every
day and that the time is not far distant when it will be called for as
an experiment, at least, which can produce no worse results than the
present system.
The country is coming TO understand the meaning of statements
like that issued last week by james b. Forgan of Chicago, when he
urged that congress lessen the burdens placed on capital rather than
drive Il into increased investments in securities wholly or partially

MORPHINE OVERDOSE
FATAL TO POLLITT

Funeral services for Harry Pollitt
43, an attendant at Easthaven who
died from the effects of an overdose
OF morphine Tuesday evening were
held in the Klute and Smith funeral
parlors at IL O'Clock Friday morning
Burial was at Earlham.
Pollitt had accepted a position at
Easthaven only short time before
his death. He suffered from insomnia
and officials believe he took two
tablets of medicine stuck together, in
the belief that they were one.
Letters written TO his wife indicate
that he had definite plans in view,
and for this reason his friends are of
the opinion he did not contemplate
suicide. He had come to this country
about seven months ago, from Eng
land. His wife and child arrived lat
er. He was a member of the medical
corps of the British army during the
war.
Pollitt's wife and child are left des-
titute.

PROTECTIVE TARIFF
MEASURE is PASSED
BY HOUSE 2S9 TO 127

WASHINGTON, July 22.-The Re-
publican protective tariff BILL esu-
mated by Chairman Fordney to raise
around $500, 100000 IN revenue annual
ly, was passed last night by the
house. by a vote of 2S9 to 127-precise-
ly the vote by which a Democratic
motion for elimination of its American
valuation provision was defeated.
Seven Republicans voted against the
measure. while the same number of
Democrats supported it.
Oil, hides, cotton and asphalt stood
up against a determined fight to tax
them and remained on the free list.
The Longworth dye embargo, first of
the five contested schedules to go be-
fore the house proper for a separate
vote, and backed by most of the Re-
publican members of the ways and
means committee, was thrown out, 2O9
10 1913.
Amendments Killed.
Forming and holding a flying wedge,
and aided by Republicans not satisfied
with all the bills provisions, the
Democratic minority made the most of
it's chances and won on each. The
ways and means committee lost out on
three of the five amendments laid be-
fore the House.
There was not much chance of i'm
posing a duty on hides and cotton after
the House. in committee of the whole,
had defeated amendments carrying
compensatory rates on their manufac-
tured products. When the oil amend
ment was reached there was such a
shout of noes that roll call was not
demanded. A moment later Chairman
Fordney, trying to make himself heard
above the din which prevailed during
the three hours of voting, announced
that sentiment in the committee of the
whole against taxing asphalt had been
so overwhelming that it was not worth
while to go through the form of calling
the roll.
Amendments in Block.
More than 200 committee amend.
ments, rushed through during the last
few days, were put up to be voted on
in a block. Some merely corrected
spelling in the bill, some shuffled com
mas, and some changed the rates, but
the Democrats, still holding their
forces in line, compelled a record
vote
Just before the time came to pass
the bill, Representative Garner of
Texas. ranking Democrat on the ways
and means committee, stepped to the
front with the expected motion to send
the bill back to its trainers with in
structions to strike out the American
valuation and reciprocal provisions.
This was where the Republicans and
Democrats divided squarely on the
whole tariff issue, although they had
split widely on some of the earlier
votes
1t probably was the first time since
wartime days that the house found
itself with such a quorum on the eve
of vote. Closing the long wrangle
over the bill, Chairman Fordney
brought Republican members to their
feet by declaring it would bring great.
er prosperity to the country than it
now enjoyed. The veteran tariff
maker, thrilled by the demonstration,
smiled and bowed and then wheeled
about TO wave to the galleries.
