EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
AMERICAN VALUATION.
(From the Washington Herald.

(From the Washington Herald.)
The feature of the proposed tariff Dill whlch
gives Its trainers most pause is the valuation proVls-
lon 1t is easily understood that fixed tariff rate
could be equable between like or SUBSTITUTE I'M
ports from different European countries. The money
values on that side vary from nothing to around 70
per cent of normal or par value. Those people are
paid live and produce, relatively, to their monetary
values. Germany for example, produce mucn
more cheaply with the mark worth only " cents Oh
money, than when it was exchangabie az "a
cents.
In Poland and Russia the money stamped by the
government has practically value. The Italian lire
is worth u cents compared to 20 cents par; the
French franc par value 20 cents Is worth just over
TN CENTS the Austrian at par was 20 cents II
is now just above nothing, tenth of cent There
is not single European country except Switzerland
whose money is at par. Inevitably they produce at
cost based largely upon their present money values
1t Is not possible therefore, to fix tariff rate based
invoice prices which would be fair as between
those countries, to our own labor.
To overcome this condition and fix an equaple
standard of values some one conceived the scheme
of American valuation, which as theory Is fine.
What 1T will be in practice remains to be seen. the
plan is to have everything which is imported. valued
not by what 1t cost, not by what is paid for it. but
on what 1t would cost if produced in the United
States This would seem impossible to determine yet
certainly Is not possible to translate the price In
monetary par vaeus as that Is but factor of price.
Neither is it possible to arrange sliding scale Of In
crease to be BASED upon comparative cost OF pro-
duction. though such scale is supposed to deter
mine the tariff rates If this could be done. 1t would
be the fairer way
So there seems nothing left but the American
valuation plan, which may degenerate into anyones
best guess, which may be anothers worst guess. 1t
can be told how far it is worabe only by test. 1t is
both opposed and supported by experts 1t is accepted
by others choice of evils. 1t is to meet condi-
ton which no theory fits 1t is the one new thing in
the bill and IL no one propose better way, 1t
will have to be given trial.

PROPHECIES ARE RISKY.

Mrs Marguerite E. Harrison, Baltimore news
paperwoman recently released from Imprisonment
in Russia is exploiting her experiences as political
prophet What advantage her position as prisoner
of the soviet government gave her as an observer OF
events throughout the country is somewhat puzzling
None the less Mrs. Harrison is telling all about Rus
sian conditions knowledge of which must have come
to her as it comes to Americans at home-at second
hand
Her chief observation is that whether relief Is
extended to Russa's TO- OO0 900 starving or whether
food is withheld the soviet form Of government VIII
remain The effect. either way, in her opinion, VIII
he the same If the world with food to spare refuses
to rescue the pershng that she says will sodify the
Russian people, irrespective of political views And
If the hungry are fed the soviets will have their
hands strengthened in that way
Mrs Harrison may be right or she may be COM
pletely wrong Prophecies on Russia at present are
risky The soviet leaders have already made some
fundamental changes in policy and may be forced
by the hard logic of events to institute further re-
formations in original plans What might be worth
consideration is that the feeding Of 100000 starv-
ing people whose food has been destroyed by
drouth Of Unprecedented or severity and extent
might be allowed to proceed without the interjectlon
of political feudisms Drouths and famines have over
whelmed other countries. and may again in the

A BAD LAW.

The last legislature passed an act making 1t the
duty of the travelling auditor to check the accounts
of all public institutions state offices, counties cities
provided him with so little assistance that this cir
cult can not be completed once in three years.
The attorney general has construed this law TO
forbid the employment of private accountants who
are to be paid out of the public treasury. All sub
divisions must wait for the auditor If he is unable to
come the accounts must go unaudited.
The law is unwise to begin with. travelling au-
ditor, to be appointed by the governor, is a good
thing to aid an honest in keeping in touch
with affairs in various parts of the state. To make
the auditors work exclusive is to put the most cor
rupting kind of a weapon in the hands Of bad
governor.
Whether governor is good or bad. 1t is a serious
thing to take away from local authorities the power
to check the accounts of those who handle local
funds.
1t is all right for the state to have the power
also to maintain check local officers. But for
instance to put it beyond the power of city COM
mission to audit the city's finances is ludicrous.
The door is held wide open for corruption upder
this system inadequatey differed.
The city should employ private auditor for q
day or two and then have taxpayer institute suit
to test this law by restraining the city from paying
him.
otherwise the peoples money will be handled
without proper supervision.
The Journal thoroughly disapproves Of this law.
If the attorney generals opinion of its meaning Is
correct,

TWO GOOD DINNERS FROM
LEFT OVERS

1t is hardly necessary to tell my
readers that left-overs of food
should never be thrown away; 1
believe that during the recent
world war even the flightiest
housekeeper learned the lesson of
thrift. The following dinner menus
contain some good dishes made of
left-overs:
Lindy's fish cakes.
Boiled new potatoes.
Cheese-stuffed tomatoes.

ingredient: / tablespoon of butter,
tablespoons bread crumbs, a
pinch of salt, pepper to suit liking.
a pinch of nutmeg, the juice of 1
lemon, and Q well-beaten eggs.
Mix until well blended and smooth.
Then form this into round cakes

thing. And then the Crouch ap-
proaches, fresh risen from the
hay; no thought of glee he
breaches, no topic blithe and gay.
He doesn't sing or scamper, or
raise a joyful sound, and he's
dismal damper on everyone
around. He suffers from the will
lies, he huns no cheer-up tunes;
he overlooks the lilies to talk of
musty prunes His fantods are
contagious, our gladness dies
away; we think the world outra-
geous, and strike for higher pay.
And thus one grouchy duffer can
make our joy take wing, and
make us sigh and suffer, where we
should smile and sing.

JUST TO BE TOGETHER
ENOUGH.

CHAPTER so.
A feeling OF thankfulness that
we were all saved crowded out all
regret for other loss. No one had
been hurt seriously, although dear
Mrs. Gray had sprained her ankle.
She knew of a boarding house
near, and Jim and Clara, the
Grays, with us, found rooms there
until we could decide what we
would do,
"All my hard work on that
house gone up in smoke" Dick
complained so comically we all
laughed.
Gust as we'll I didn't accept
your offer to plan one for me-"
Jim replied. They saw how nerv-
Gus and shaken we women were
and tried to help US by acting as
if they, too, weren't almost as up
set as we were.
"Of course, you were insured?"
It was Mrs. Gray who spoke to
Dick.
"No. 7 have talked of 1t, but
kept putting 1t Off" He did not
tell them that he had spoken to
me several times and that 1 had
objected to him using the money.
"You don't mean to say. Will

"Well, am surprised-and
sorry. I would have sworn you
would have. I know you carry
life insurance, why not fire."
"Proorastination," Dick eXclaim-
ed, again shielding me.
IT am very sorry" Mrs. Gray's
gentle voice broke in.
When Dick left to go to the Of
flee I followed him into the hall.
"You will have to make money
now Dick, lots of it. We can't
live in boarding house. you hate
it so, and it will cost a lot to buy
furniture"
Don't worry, Nan! I am so
thankful still have you and Ju-
Nor l can think Of nothing else.
Look around, it will keep you from

If Dicks father hadn't left us

an awful condition. But we had

WAS THE JOURNAL RIGHT?

Elsewhere in this issue will be found account
of a meeting held by the citizens of Las Cruces to
protest against the school book adoption for the
state. The facts and statements recounted in this
news items will interest all those who must buy
school books for their children.
The Journal voiced its suspicious last December
of text book adoption to be made in December
January An outgoing board was neeking to bind
fits successors for a period of six years
This adoption was put through under the guild
ance of Jonathan H. Wagner, state superintendent,
at time few weeks prior to his retirement from
that office. Our comments irriated Mr.. Wagner and
his friends But the most favorable view we could
take Of the matter was that it was unwse. To u.s.
the expense to which the public would be subjected
seemed to US a tragedy in the midst of hard times.
The adoption farce. Four basal readers
were adopted. We wondered then and stn wonder.
what "basal means, when specific thing is taken
basis. There were four bases. PAY your money
and take your choice"
The list Of adoptons as supplied by Mr.. Wagner
to the New Mexican the Herald and the Journal
changed in material respects in the official list given
out later by the state superintendents office. We
fix responsibility for the changes When the Jour-
iai sought to trace these alterations 1t found the
original detailed notes of the meetings were missing.
We are uniformed to whether they were ever
found.
The new board fumbled around taking action and
then resembling its action only to act again. until the
Journal lost all heart in the matter.
We are charging nobody with anything-not even
with using any judgment This remark is directed
at one. We could not, at the moment name a sin
gle member of either the old the new boards ex-
cept the ex-officio members -
What was done at Las Cruces on August Q, should
have been done February 8. We are now within
three four weeks of the opening Of the schools

rights.

night. 1t was small and we would
be cramped. But it had a nice
kitchen, and Dick could have the
things he liked. Clara and Jim
would remain in the boarding
house until they found an apart
ment. They would refurnish with
their insurance money, as would
the Grays.
Another reason / was glad to
get the furnished apartment was
that at the boarding house we
could have so little privacy, and
wanted to talk things over with
Dick. Clara was a bit curious and
even il Dick had said he might
put Jim wise to making a little
on the side, knew he did not
want them to know too much of
our affairs.
He brought home big roll OF
paper, and at once started to draw
plans for a home, improving on
the old ones-so he claimed.
"You see, Man." he said for the
hundredth time, 1--WE won't have
an architect to pay so we can put
that into the house." He forgot
that what he intended to save by
being his own architect had al
ready gone into every part of the
house from the cellar to the attic,
although now he proposed to put
1t into a bow window. Neither of
US had experience enough to know
that a good architect is the very
best asset a young, inexperienced
couple can have when they decide
to build a home. Especially Is
this so If they have but a limited
amount to spend.
"We'll insure to the limit" he
remarked after a while.

piled. "You would have been in

will you make lot because
of it?"
"That depends. But such things
make a fellow solid with the
house."
"I hope 1t will make them ad-
vance your salary. Well need all
we can get now"
Yet that night we were hap
pier, less taken up with talk and
thoughts of money, than in many
months. That we had been saved
seemed to make all else of no par
ticular significance. We petted
and loved Junior; then after he
had fallen asleep, we talked softly
lovingly, to each other, until we
too retired.
