THE TUBERCULOSIS BILL.

What communities pay the country's tuberculosis
bill?
The crowded cities of the east, where dingy tcne-
ments, bright lights smoke and dust-laden air and
unsanitary living and working conditions are found
Or the clean, far-flung West, where the sick can
find their last hope?
To these questions, Miss Jessamne S. Whitney,
research secretary of the National tuberculosis So
Getty who is now in Albuquerque, makes the follow
ing reply;
= "The condition is appalling Thousands of tu-
berculars come to the southwest without funds
and become objects of charity of the southwest
cities until they are either cured or die. The
cities which gave them birth which are their
real homes have no hand in the paying Of this
type of public charity. The whole burden falls
upon the town city which happens to be the
choice of the sick person.
"Denver is supporting 1885 tuberculars who
have drifted into the city. This charity costs
citizens of Denver average of so cents a year
per capita. Transient INDECENT tuberculars cost
.r citizens of Colorado Springs average of 81
I'd per citizen each year. Phoenix is probably the
most popular city for this class of tubercular and
the cost to the city averages 50 for each of its
citizens"
Miss whitney is travelling throughout the south
west to collect data the subject of migratory tu-
berculars which she expects to lay before the an
nual meeting of the national association in New
York next June BY means of these data it is hoped
that some system of equalization will be devised,
whereby the cities and communities from which the
poor tubercular come will help defray the ex-
penses.
This problem is that is of vital interest to
Albuquerque in common with the other communi-
ties of the southwest. Charity workers of this city
know the large percentage of indigens that is made
up Of tuberculars from other cities
Many of these indigents drift into Albuquerque
with vague ideas as to how to fight 1.-THE lone, long
game" and without any means of support visible or

A SOLUTION.

solution of the mine tax question is now in
sight. If the mining interests do not rally their
forces to defeat the proposed amendments to the bill
a chance will be given the ad vaorem method of
taxation to have actual test in the year 1872
The present bill provides that the state tax commits
sion shall choose whether to apply the present net
output method or the ad valorem method. The
amendments would give the year 1921 in which to
produce the expert appraisal of the mines An APP
preparation of 100000 is provided in the general
appropriation bill with which to make these APP
prasals The amendments provide that 1t shall be
mandatory upon the tax commission in the year 1922
to the ad yaorem basis of taxation. Thereafter
it shall whichever of the two methods will be
most advantageous to the state. An added amend
ment makes the factors to be used in determining
the ad valorem value subject to the Judgment of the
tax commission With these amendments E&-Goven-
Hagerman expresses himself as satisfied that the
bill shall pass.
The Journal feels that if these changes are made
in the text of the bill the republican party will have
reasonably redeemed its platform pledge; that the
ad valorem method of taxation will get reasonable
test and that we will be satisfied Without these
amendments the party will have totally tailed in
keeping faith with the people and will have shown
it's complete surrender to the mining interests. The
state democratic platform pledges the party to an
ad valorem assessment of mines. 1t is a far pre-
sumption therefore that the democratic members of
the legislature will aid in the passage of these
amendments. We are unadVised as to the attitude OF
Governor Mechem toward these changes. Mr., Bur
sum has sgnified his willingness to aid in every way
in his power to their enactment. Mr.. Bufsum
is slow in making promises but firm in keeping them
when made. The journal accepts his commitment
in this matter at par.
Just who is for the people and who is for the
mining companies against the people will be clearly
shown when the roll call comes these amend
ments
Aside from the mine tax provisions of this law it
is in large measure the revenue code prepared by
the revenue commission and is a long step forward
We regard entitled to the support of all pub
lie spirited citizens Let the bill pass with the amend
ments and the long protracted agitation over mine
legislation will be at end We regret that the
provisions for a professionalism assessment service
in the state and the provisions for flat income tax
have been cut of the code. Nevertheless it is
vast improvement upon present law. 1t is prob
ably the best which can be done under the crcGm-
stances.

REAL AMERICAN LITERATURE.

friend of ours directs our attention to article
by Edward Yeomans in the Atlantic Monthly for
March Mr.. Yeomans draws a contrast between the
old method of teaching literature in the public
schools and the newer and virile practice,
which most progressive teachers introducing.
Under the old regime the teacher would compel his
class to memorze such definitions THE subjunc-
tive mood is used in subordinate proposition when
both contingency and futurity are expressed when
the contrary fact is implied"
Here is scene to set against that. 1t is not a
class in reading, in anything to do with letters.
1t is just the sixth grade beginning its session with its
teacher on the morning of any day, The children
lected each day of their number to recte some

AS the People View 1t

I city they will substantiate the fact
| that the Boston Herald of May 20
1903, published a column long edi-
torial about my resignation that it
printed the day previous. The edi-
torial begins with the statement
that "the letter of David Goldstein
rendering his resignation of mem
bership in the state committee OF
the socialist party of Massachu-
sets and Withdrawing from the So
cialist organization, is q significant
sign of the tendency towards dis
ruption that is taking place among
the socialists of this state.'
The Boston journal, the Boston
Traveller and the Boston Record
and the Boston Post about the
same time published my letter of
resignation and commented upon
it. The Post said: David Gold
stein, one OF the real leaders, once
a candidate for mayor and known
throughout the state for his ar
dent devotion to the cause, has
withdrawn, and signalizes the step
with an attack that will probably
attract wide attention.
If this is not sufficient, / shall
be pleased to furnish evidence from
socialist papers, aye, from the So
cialist party headquarters itself, to
prove that there is no honest foun-
dation whatsoever for the asser-
ton Of the Albuquerque defender
of the American Lenine-Trotzky
party.
Bolshevism and not David Gold
stein is the issue and it is not to
be evaded by indulging in per-
sonalities 1t is true as Mr.. Stamm
says, every reform has been OPP
posed and many of them rightly
so, for instance, free silver. But
the bolshevism of Mr. Stamms
party is not a reform, it is Revolu-
ton with a big r, as the REDS"
delight to call it., 1t is a revolu-
ton that would do away with pri-
vate property of a substantial
character; that would militarize la
Dor by making men and women
work for a state industrial autoc-
racy for wages and hours set by
a dictatorship, and make it a Grim
inal offense to ask for more than
the official standard. 1t is rev.
olution that would deprive parents
of their natural right to the con-
troll of their children by forcing
them into the bolshevist atheist
schools and colonies as is done in
In a word it is a revolu-
ton that would tear down our
Star Spangled Banner and all that
it stands for and raise aloft the
red flag of disruption.
It's too bad that q man like Mr..
Stamm does not go and spend six
in Russia. l have an idea
that he would be as anxious to get
back into Uncle SANS home with
all it's faults, as Emma Goldman is
reported to be.

Cities fer the grand parade,
Towns fer folks who love the sun,
Streams fer fisher folk, an fields
Where the clover blooms are sweet
Orchards with their autumn yields
Sort o. make our land complete.

Man can find most anything
That he really wants round here,
Be he commoner or king.
What's your choice-the city strife.
Pavements an the granite wall,
Or the cleaner outdoor life?
Name it, coz we got it all!
Rich our country is, an blest,
Rich in all that men desire;
Each can have what suits him best
Prairie nights beside fire,
Solitude an spaces wide,
Mountains high an runnin' brooks
Or gray walls to sit inside,
Readin' life from printed books.
Time fer dreams or city haste,
Nights beneath a roof or sky,
Books to read or brooks to fish,
Cities grand or mountains tall,
Here whatever we may WISH

tub much more easily, and soon
had it out on the steps for Nurse
Jane. Uncle Wiggily put some
cracked ice in the tub and in this
Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy set the snow
pudding she had made.
"Who's coming for a CALF" ask

will sit and talk and eat snow

you get back from the movies"
Thank you" responded Uncle
Wiggily, and away he hoped on
his tall, silk hat.
The movie show was a very fun
ny one and Uncle Wiggily laughed
so hard that he almost lost his
tall, black nose. After the show
was out, Uncle Wiggily was think
ing so much about the picture he
had seen, trying to remember to tell
Nurse Jane about it, that he reach
ed his bungalow back stoop almost
before he knew it. And he saw
something moving there!
"Oh no! Some one is trying to
take Nurse James snow pudding
from the tub of ice!" thought the
bunny. IL mustn't let that hap
pen!'
The bunny hoped softly to the
back stoOp, and there, bending over
the wash tub, he saw the bad old
black, bushy Bear.
"Please go away and leave
Nurse James snow pudding alone"
said Uncle Wiggily politely.
"Ha! So it's snow pudding; is it?"
asked the bear. "Well, 1 never did
care for that! And since you are
here, I'll nibble your earsv'
ooh, dear mel thought Uncle
Wiggily. This is too bad! But wait

would you like to nibble a new kind

'"Those are ears-those things

Nurse Jane says they're ears and
she ought to know"
II guess she had had?" growled
the Bear. "WellI'll nibble the tubs
ears and then I'll nibble yours!"
With that the Bear made a saw
age, hard bite for the handle ears
of the washtub. Oh, how hard he
bit, but soon he gave howl of
pain.
Wooden ears! Wooden ears!" he
cried. "You fooled me! You know
can't nibble wooden ears and I've
broken tooth! oh! OH"
"Ha! Then you can't bite my
ears" laughed Uncle Wiggily, as he
into the bungalow, and fast
ened the door so the Bear couldn't
follow. And the bad Bear ran off
bowling through the dark woods
because he had bitten the wash
tubs wooden ears, and had broken
a tooth. But the bunny was all right.

Nurse Jane lighted a candle and
went down cellar.
No wonder!" she cried you

"The ears" gasped Uncle Wig
gily in such surprise that the tub,
which he had been holding by the
rim, nearly slipped out of his paws.
Il never heard of wash tub hav-

"Oh, but it has!" answered Nurse
June. Those two standing up
