A CRISIS.

The situation confronting the state of New
Mexico is very serious. A deep cut has been made
in the assessed valuations of cattle horses and
sheep. This was, doubtless, necessary and just
The postponement of the payment of rentals on
state land has been authorized by the Legislature
The assessable equity in purchased state lands has
been reduced from forty per cent to five per cent.
There has been a general recession in the taxable
values of stocks and real estate
In addition to all this there will be almost
no income to the state in 1922 from the mines
unless new legislation is enacted. County and state
incomes in 1922 will be very far below those OF
1920 and 1921 unless something constructive is
done.
Yet the legislature fiddles while New Mexico
burns
Against all this it is proposed to save $4,000 by
the adjustment of Nthe mounted police; as much
more, perhaps, from putting the county road SUI
pervisors in the discard. But all this is a mere
drop in the bucket.
If school appropriations are cut the state lags.
We are already far behind other states in educa-
ton. Our road program cannot be entirely aban-
doned without giving the state a black eye. Our
problem can never be solved by retrenchment alone.
There must be very definite constructive legislation
or the state not go The situation is critical
beyond words
The time has arrived when the legislature must
cease to listen to the tale of of special inter-
ests who complain of hard times. In this period of
reedjustment we all feel the pinch and would all
like to have burdens lighened. That goes with
out saying
To permit organized special interests to shift
the burden to the shoulders of the unorgahized
majority will never do The legislature should be-
ware the fury Of patient people.
Just now we need statesmen instead of polite
ians; men who Will remember their responsibility
to all the people. A step forward, step backward
a hesitation and a side-step may make beauti-
full dance but it is undignified legislative pro-
gram for a man who has taken oath of office
We need a constructive effort to equitably dis
tribute the burden of taxation without discrimin-
alton or favoritism In view of the fact that we can
not all evade the burden, let each carry his share
of the load.
Is there enough initiative and'courage in our Of
ficials to solve this problem with justice? Three
weeks will answer that question.

A MASTER SHUTS DOWN HIS PIANO.

Paderewski will play no more
The famous Polish pianist Sunday confirmed
earlier rumors that he had given up his career as
a performer although he may "do some COM
posing"
AS matter of fact this unusual man has done
very little playing for the past five years, during
which time most of his efforts have been toward
establishing his native country going con-
Germ" among nations,
Shortly before he left for Poland, Paderewsk
passed through Des Moines, Iowa, where the pres
ent writer happened to be plying his profession as
newsgatherer.
The scrbes efforts to interview the virtuoso
were courteousy but fir6ny blocked We interview,

Madame Paderewska lin Poland. the wife takes the
"a" ending to her husbands name Madame at that
time was busy selling dolls FOR the starving chill
dren of Poland, so she was perfectly willing to
talk.
The reason given for not admitting the news
paper man into the august presence of the artist
was naive. Let us try to reproduce Madame's Ian
guage as nearly as we can recall it after five busy
years:
"There is gh-rippe in your city now. We are
af-rhad that you bh-ring re gh-rippe ger-fms to
re maestro. He is not rh-obust, and we fear that
if he to contrrhact the gh-rippe, he would be

''For us it is no matter Our lives not SO
pr-rhecous. But re maestro-ah, non! he must not
be ex-pausedr
And the name of the maestro's was Com
monwealth!"
The scribe forthwith returned to the office and
wrote what had happened and what had been said
1t was better than interview.
But perhaps Paderewski is not so exclusive now
Perhaps his experience during the war and his
observations of what his compatriots have passed
through have caused him to realize that "a man is
a man for a. that" Unless reaches that real
ization some time in life, there is something lack
ing In Ms greatness however ndisputabe it may
be in other respects.
However that may be. the world loses its great

"THosE FOssILIZED SCIENTISTS

For a long time it has been the fashion to de-
ride scientists as being well-meaning fossils or
moss backs"
But an unprejudiced examination of what these
alleged moss backs do for humanity Will con-
vince airy one that their work is very much alive
For instance, physicists at Harvard announced
Sunday the discovery of process by which A-rays
can be used to relieve cancer. Only a few months
ago. scientists at the experimental station at Homo
lulu gave out the statement that refined chaul-
moogra oil had cured at least one case Of leprosy
Was there anything fossilized about these
achievements?
But to leave the fields of physics and medicine
let us inquire into the work of the most fossillzed
OF all sciences-namely, archaeology and anthropol-
ogy The one strives to reconstruct the history Oh
man so that we may peer beyond the curtain OF
recorded history and gather some notion OF Wha'
occurred before s. 900 B. c. which is generally fixed
as the dawn of history. The other seeks to obey the
mandate to humanity-"Know thysef!"
Isl there anything dry as dust" about such
revelations dealing as they do with man and his
doings?
Thus science ever seeks to push back the wal
between the Known and the Unknown While II
does this it can justly be called fossilized-
