Taos, n. NJ. Aug. .s.-Tho Indians
OF Taos Pueblo, about 500 in number.
form ono American community which
has been relatively little affected by
fluctuations in the cost of living.
These Indians are the communal
owners of a rich tract of valley farm
ing land. upon which their pueblo
stands and of many square miles of
tho mountains adjoining 1t. Their an
ccstors were living here when the
Spaniards came. Tho Spanish. Mexi-
can and United States Governments
have successfully confirmed them in
the title to these lands.
The Indians meet the cost -of-livinS
problem in "A way which may be
adopted BY other farmers in this
country II something is not done to
make farming more profitable as a
commercial venture. While the cot
ton planter in Texas raises nothing but
cotton. sells It for less than 1t cost to
produce. and faces bankruptcy and
want, the Pueblo Indian raises almost
everything he needs, sells little and
buys little. His lands produce wheat.
corn. beans, potatoes, all sorts of
melons. and fresh vegetables and a
little fruit. on his mountain range
he raises enough to keep him in beef.
In the fine trout stream that flows
down the Pueblo Canyon he can catch
all the fish he wants all summer. He
grinds his own meal. dries fruits and
vegetables. and jerks meat for winter
consumption. II shoes are high he
makes his own moccasins. and the rest
Of his clothing is not elaborate. He
makes his own pottery. He builds
hs own house and keeps It in repair.
There is little he must buy except
sugar, coffee. lard. and a few things
in the way of clothing and utensils.
Examinations of consCripts showed
that large percentage of the Mexi-
cans in New Mexico are under
nourished II showed the same thing
with regard to poor people all over
the United States Tho Indian is
generally a poor man. in that ne has
little money and few possessions. but
he IL almost never undernourished.
He looks well-fed. and he has the
physical stamina and prowess of
which civilization is robbinE the rest
of US. In the foot races Which take
place at his fiestas he shows great
wind and speed. He can do as hard
a days work as am man ON earth.
