Santa Fe, March 7.--Ten repub-
lican and IA democratic votes
passed the statewide primary bill
in the house this afternoon and
the measure will now go to the SEN
ate. The bill was introduced by
r. L. Baca of Santa Fe and eight
other republicans and is the same
bill introduced by Hartell, demo-
crat, of Eddy county, but held in
the committee. Though the final
vote was 81 to 10. the test in the
vote came on the republican effort
to tack an amendment on the bill
by Lee of Dona Ana county, that it
be not effective until referendum
vote was taken. This amendment
was tabled, "a to is. Grey of
Otero county then attempted to
have the tabling of the amendment
reconsidered, but the 10 republi-
cans and IA democrats defeated
the motion. On final roll call all
but 10 of the republicans changed
over to the winning side. Then
Baca applied legislative clincher
to the bill. moving to reconsider
and that the reconsideration be
tabled. This carried. RepaollcanS
supporting the bill were Baca OF
Santa Fe, Carter of Socorro. Dieck-
man of Taos, Hughes of Grant, Lutz
of Lincoln, Maestas of Rio Arriba,
Montoya of Sandoval, Nevares of
Dona Ana. Ortega of Taos and Tru-
jillo of Rio Arriba. Every demo-
crat present voted for the state
wide primary.

ing 5000 for 73 students. one to be
appointed by each legislator. a to-
tai of s14.600 year.
Facing a hopeless task as far, as
finishing its work, the house passed
nine bills and killed one at the
morning session today. Eight new
bills were brought to the houses
attention, giving them net gain OF
two bills for the half days work.
These included five house bills and
three bills sent over from the sen-
ate.
Task Facing Solons.
An idea of the task facing the
fifth legislature in the remaining
days of the session is gained from
the records Of both houses. the
house has 179 bills to act upon po-s
fore Saturday noon, The senate
records show that 140 bills have
not yet been acted upon. AS fast
as the house passes house bills and
the senate passes senate bills. tho
accumulation of unfinished busi-
ness is increased that much by the
bills passed in each house going 20
the other for action.
Records show that there are 81
bills on the house calendar; 81 bills
are still In committee and 81 senate
bills are awaiting house action. The
senate has 58 bills in committee, IA
on calendar and SIS house bills
awaiting it's consideration. of which
but IA are on calendar.
Some idea of the size of the job
facing the legislators is seen in the
fact that during the first so days
of the session the house has passed
only 116 house bills and 81 senate
bills, while the senate has so far
passed SIS senate bills and 55 house
bills. There remain 61 house bills
to be acted on by the senate and
81 senate bills to be acted upon by
the house.
Ninety.two Bills ON Calendar.
Ninety-two bills were on tha
house calendar which faced that
body at the opening OF the fiHal
week of the session this morning.

PROVED BIG success
Visitors From California, Arizo-

A big crowd and a fine, old-fash-
ioned, mining camp hospitality mark
ed the opening celebration Of the new
town of Tristate, near the southern
point OF Clark county. Visitors were
present in large numbers from King

Los Angeles and other sections OF

and enthusiastic delegation from Las

The new town is the center OF an
important mining district which is
giving every indication Of being
about to stage the next great mining
boom, for which the west has been
waiting for some years. Many men
prominent In the mining game were
present and took occasion to look
over the district and they are prac-
tically a unit in pronouncing 1t one
of great merit. The Nevada, Kath-

MORE FOR SERVICE

Representative Sidney Anderson,
Chairman of the Joint Congressional
Committee on Agriculture finds from
the evidence, that out Of every dollar
the consumer pays, 40 cents goes for
service, 81 cents for production and
IA cents for profits. Those OF rs
who are old enough to remember the
manner in which goods were bought
and sold a generation ago, will be IN
clined to agree. with the assertion that
service takes 40 cents of the dollar.
In the good old days" we bought su-
gar by the dollars worth and 1t was
scooped out OF barrel into a paper
bag. Now we get 1t in one or two
pound pasteboard packages. We used
to buy oatmeal in large quantities,
now we get it In small pasteboard
packages. We used to buy bacon BY
the chunk and now we get it In slices
rolled in oiled paper and put up In
pasteboard. The milkman used to pour
milk in a pail we left on the porch.
and the milk was about all we paid
for. Now we get it in bottles and
we not only pay for the bottling and
the broken and stolen bottles, but we
pay an inspector for examining the
dairy barn. we pay a veterinarian
for testing the cows for tuberculosis
we pay for the better barn the dat
ryman is required to maintain, We pay
for the extra help the dairyman mus'
employ to meet the requirements OF
the inspector, and we pay for the ex
ira capital the dairyman must inve9
in his business. We used to wash
the milk pail in our own sinks; now
we pay someone else for washing and
scalding the bottles. These are mere
ly a few illustrations that can be ex'
tended almost indefinitely by any per
son who dealt in food either as dealer
or consumer a few decades ago. We
are paying more and more for ser
vice and relatively less for the actual
food we consume. Undoubtedly the
extra service is worth it, or we would
not pay the extra cost.
