ATTENTION, l. c. c.

Examiner Keane in his report to
the interstate commerce commits
sion adverse to desired reduced pas
sengor rates in the southwestern
states, alleged that agricultural re-
sources in Arizona, New Mexico and
Nevada were negligible, or words
to that broad general effect.
We call the attention of the inter-
state commerce commission to the
iact that New MeXico's wheat crop
this year will show an increase of
600000 bushels, and that the yield
has increased 100000 bushels in
ten years or an average of 10000
bushels year
This does not bear out Mr..
Keane's structures on New MeXicos
agricultural development or lheLon-
mage she develops. The increased
tonnage of winter wheat in New
Mexico, the bureau Of crop esti-
mates says, is phenominal The fig
urrs are sufficient demonstration
And this is only one angle of New
MeXicO's agricultural development.
Mr. Keanc. in Jumping New Mexico
with the great American desert in
Nevada, has entirely misrepresented
conditions and possibilities in this
state and has not a leg to stand on
in his endorsement of the discrimi-
nation in passenger fares in New
Mexico. The state corporation COM
mission should make immediate and
forcible use of the official winter
wheat forecast before the interstate
commerce commission.
The New Mexican is not prepared
to- say whether or not conditions in
Nevada have been exaggerated, Cerl
tainly neither New Mexico nor Ar
iona have been done Justice in the
examiners report, the chief fallacy
of which moreover is that he rSfers
to section of the country embrac-
ing a wide variety Of natural and
commercial conditions as if its char
acleristics were uniform. and it
were all sparsely inhabited desert
region.
New Mexico. if conditions hold
good, will raise enough or the great
American staple This year to feed
the state and ship 100000 bushels
besides
We submit that for a desert this
is a most astonishing showing.
We advise the examiner to come
back and do some real examining.
If the rate discrimination against
the southwestern states is Contin-
ucd, the L. C.. G.. will have to pro-
duCe some more convincing rea-
