CRIME WAVES.

The United States is undergoing a periodic
''crime wave" This time it is of more severity than
previously.
The situation presents problem to the psychol-
ogst and political economist we'll as to the
officers of the law. The former must look to
causes the latter to prevention and punishment.
1t cannot be said that the duty of the latter is
not immediate and pressing. The police must find
a way to cope with the present outbreak. So help
less the trained officers of the cities that one
becomes almost fearful of the ability of civil
ization to cope with its claw and ORDER problem
Law and order is basic. When there is no longer
security to life and property, the fundamental rea-
son for the existence of government ceases. Con-
fidence in the integrity and efficiency of govern
ment is in direct proportion to security under it..
way must be found to prove that the claw" is
reasonably equal to its task That is problem Of
administration.
Back of that is the question of causes At the
moment we can do no better than to indulge in
speculations and opinions of the cause. By study
and technical tests the experts in psychology and
economics can arrive with some degree of certainty
at the underlying causes
Some "curb-stone" opinions attribute the stu-
alton to the unrest" created by the Others
feel that it is the ou-gro%th of the spirit of ex-
travagance and the loss of of honest earning
the spirit of getting something for nothing or
something for little of an equivalent possible.
There those who feel that training and
Experiences put daring into the hearts Of men whc
before had the criminal instinct without the cour-
age. Some attribute it to unemployment and the
pinch of tighter" times t
- All these and others mere guesses and are Of
no value in seeking solution. There are definite
areasons for it all. 1t is effect Of cause or
causes certainty all phenomena is an effect.
These causes should be and doubtless are being
studied.
This has hit New Mexico little if any, as
yet. But it is certain any other epidemic to
sweep across the country. Now is the time for our
officers to prepare for it and to deal with such
swiftness and severity with the first cases, that it
will prove Improbable. An ounce of prevention is
going to be worth pround of cure.
Police officers in New Mexico towns should be
especially alert against coming from different
directions and seeming to be strangers to each
other Any day now they may decide that it is
getting too hot for them further east and separate
to meet for ''big job" at some point in New
Mexico.

About year ago, business prophets were ssu-
ing warnings against extravaganza, waste and the
spirit of sloth. Cartoonists pictured the American
people dancing the brink of precpice
1t was predicted that if prudence and frugality did
not prevail, the country would up against a
smash.
Yet the working girls kept on buying $500 fur
coats and paying for them in instaments of So
per week, and the loaded up with SIS silk
shirts. If money spent on luxures, it could
not be devoted to renewing machinery to keep the
factories going, railroad equipment to keep
freight moving Now on account largely Of lack
of capital and high interest rates. the business
world must slow up.
This is serious but not fatal 1t is the of a

THE REPORT OF THE SPECIAL REVENUE
COMMISSION.

The report of the Special Revenue Commission is
published owing to the expense. No one should
ask for a copy who does not actually wish it for
purposes of study. Those who do so want it, can
procure copy, while they last, by writing Ex-
Governor H. J. Hagerman at Santa Fe.
In addition to the report, which was furnished
the Journal in manuscript form and from which we
made our reviews and comments the printed
pamphlet contains many appendices Of great inter-
est which throw much light upon some Of the
findings of the commission.
This commission creature of the mining
companies in its origin. They asked for it and
obtained it. They have made repeated protestations
of confidence in the commission and their friends
asked you, during the campaign, not to pay any at
tenton to the Journals utterances but to await
something intelligent and expert from the commits
sion.
On the other hand because this commission was
creature of the mining companies far as
origin was concerned the Journal somewhat
disposed to look with suspicion upon its work
We have the results before Upon
all subjects which have been pressing, we ac-
cept it's findings. Will those who procured the
legislation creating the commission do much?
ton IL they fail to do so. The work is the handi-
work of unprejudlcial experts and the people will
accept it such and rely upon its dependabiy
and wisdom.
The course which the legislature should take
is mapped out Will politics interpose obstacles to
its travelling that road?

Albuquerque Morning Journal, Sunday, January 1921.

So It can be seen readily that output furnishes
no fair basis for arriving at actual value. In fact
the Journal believes that, had the present mine
tax law been attacked 1t would have been declared
unconstitutional by the courts.
property which has earned, in seven years,
about $50 00o 900 upon initial investment of 81
$50 900 and which admits of at least twenty five
years supply Of ore Of equal value and accessibility
in sight, can scarcely be heard to say that 1t has
no present value simply because of temporary
adverse marketing conditions.
The assessor will not permit you to return your
store building as of value because it happens
to be without tenant in January and therefore
producing you income at the moment. He will
not permit you to return your town lot of no
value because it has no Improvements upon it and
therefore earns you nothing
The Chino has actual going value. Experts
can closely approximate what that actual value is
Upon that basis it should pay taxes.

MINE OUTPUT AND ACTUAL VALUE.

The constitution requires the assessment of tam
gible property upon single basis
That basis for all real estate and personal prop
erty is its actual value
Therefore the mine output law can be right,
either morally legally, only in the figures
arrived at under that method of determination are
q fair criterion by which to measure actual values.
Can this be true? Today the cost to the Chino
Copper Company of producing pound of copper is
approximately 15A cents Therefore they pro-
ducng copper at loss under the present bad mar
keting conditions Were this to continue unchanged
during the year 1921 the Chino would show a loss
rather than profit.
N III output" Is a fair measure 1t follows that
the Chino properties are worth much less than
nothing, But every one knows this Is not true.

A NEW YEARS RESOLUTION
FOR THE HOUSEKEEPER.

1t is an astounding fact that
many, many housekeepers never
study their grocer's ordering slips
after the delivery of an order. They
either have a childish belief that
all the world is working for their
good, or else they are not ap-
praised of the fact that mistakes
are frequently made even by gro
GERS with the best intentions in the
world; or else they are plainly and
SIMPLY too lazy to bother to check
up the ordering slip-comparing
the prices on the slip with those
they know to be the standard price
of the articles received.
The thrifty housewife does her
| ordering In this manner. She takes
pad and pencil to a list which she
has hanging on her kitchen wall
an alphabetical list Of all the vari-
| Qds foods she is in the habit OF
ordering; opposite each article Of
food is written its present price
(this price must Of course be
erased and changed as the prices
fluctuate). She starts at "a" and
ends at ~" going over the entire
list, even though she wishes to
order only few things; in this
way she cannot possibly overlook
any food which she needs to order.
She then takes her pad to the
phone, calls up the grocer, asks
| the present price of such things as
eggs, butter and other edibles
which change frequently in price,
and gives her order.
When these things are delivered
she pays the boy. Then comes the
important step that so many over
look-studying the order sl.. She
sits down and goes over each item,
her eyes flying from the slip in her
hand to the list of foods and their
prices hung upon the wall. (If
new prices were quoted to her over
the telephone, she will, of course,
have written these upon the wall
list before forgetting them).
If she finds that breakfast
food which is listed at 23 cents has
"25 cents opposite it on the slip
in her hand, she should go to the
phone and call up her grocer and
ask him the present price of that
breakfast food, when she finds
that 23 cents is correct she should
tell him that it has been marked
25 cents on the order slip and ask
him to credit her with two cents
Now here is just where come
women make their mistake. They
are ashamed to make a fuss over
two cents. They would rather let
the matter go than call up the gro
Ger and stand up for their rights.
Such women spoil grocers They
lead the grocer to think that it
doesn't matter much IL the price
of commodity varies a cent or
two. 1t is often great tempta-
tion to the grocer.
But If the housekeeper will hagle
over two cents she will soon see
that her grocer takes pains not to
make such mistakes in the future,
He knows which Of his customers
add up his figures to see II his total
|is correct; which Of his customers
weigh his pdond of butter on their
home scales to see II his weight Is
short; which -pf hie customers

THE WAY OF OTHERS.

Others have shown to me the way
To bear the burdens of the day
This task of mine is nothing new.
Others have had this work to do;
Others have suffered here and wept
And faithful to their purpose kept.
This is my time to meet the test,
And I must face it as the rest.
Time was thought that I might miss
So terrible a task as this!
Might go through life and never know
The weight of care or hurt of woe.
And once ! fancied when felt -t
Across my back disasters welt,
That I was meeting there alone
Such stings as no one else had known.
/ cried aloud against my pain,
But found my whimperfng all in vain,
And then / heard voice declare:
Your lot is what all men must bear.
Others have wept the time you smiled,
Borne grief and have been reconciled;
AS they have done, SO must you do
When care and sorrow come to you"
But that was in the years ago,
And since that time I've come to know
That no one on this earth escapes v
