EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
PERSONALITY AND THE TIMES.
(From the Chicago Tribune.)
NTnrrr Xnt.lr M nnln hN.n 1. tAe. :,


The New York Times, celebrating its twenty-fifth
anniversary under the direction of Adolph S. Ochs,
merits comment not only for it's journalistic
it's reflection of the intellectual development
and capacity of the public which it serves.
AS the celebration is that of Mr. Ochs' assump-
tion of the Times management rather than of the
birth of the newspaper, it is fitting to consider It
from personal viewpoint rather than the impprson-
reading public looks upon them dull or interesting
reliable or unreliable, comprehensive cursory.
subservient or independent selfish atruisc, prac
teal visionary, If these qualities innate,
sprung full formed from the presses typewriters and
desks which make UP its physical being.
One seldom hears the editor of a newspaper
praised or condemned individual. Praise or
condemnation is directed against the paper a
whole If it the product of a single mind and
a single pair of hands.
The modern metropolitan newspaper, such as
the Times, is the product of some 1000 minds and
as many pairs of hands. This being the case. 1t IS
the more remarkable that such a product can and
does take on the character Of individual and re-
veal that character consistently as to develop
personality recognized by its readers, strong in its
good qualities, consistent even in its Inconsistencies
in short, human.
That Adolph Ochs has thus been able to impress
himself upon the daily output of 1000 minds is
one OF the best indications of his genius and power
When such ability is combined with clear thinking,
good judgment, appreciation of news values, and
the requirements of his clientele the result logical
ly such success as that achieved by the Times. 1t
ant questions and happenings and not only gives its
readers material upon which to base their thoughts
but inspires them to think 1t is of value to the
community and its success is we'll merited
If, as sometimes alleged 1t is a class organ O
highbrow" newspaper, its success is all the more
interesting in that it reflects high degree of in
telgence and thoughtful interest in the public. Not
only Mr. Ochs for his vision and ability but the pub
lie for Its intellectual capacity Is to be
upon the building up of such journal. Their prog
ress goes hand in hand.

with the granting of official permission investi-
gators to begin excavations on the site of the
Biblical city BethShan in Palestine. The work is to
be carried on under the curator of the Egyptian
section of the museum Of the University of Pennsyl-
vania.
Beth-Shan is one of the most important of his
cities 1t is in the Valley Of the Jezree just
west of the Jordan and not far south of the Sea of
Galilee. At various times 1t has been the Of
battles it the strategic point of vantage
to any military leader in olden times who might as
pire to world domination Most of the builders OF an
cent empires sought at one time or another to con-
quer Beth-Shan. Among foreign invaders Greeks,
Romans and Arabs in turn have held it.
Aside from its significance as the scene of many
battles Beth Shan offers inducements to the invest
gator afforded nowhere else in such abundance. 1t is
fairly certain that here lodged the relics Of
seven and perhaps nine distinct civilizations
Beth-Shan, it seems, comes in layers, each succeed
ing city in turn built on the ruins of the old When
successive waves of invasion swept over it there
came to be reared in time a new Beth-Shan on the
ruins of the old.
The relics which will be brought to light through
this excavation will tell unique story Of progress
OF early days covering period Of hundred GEN.

as considerable portion Of the
heifer calves cannot be sold but
must be retained to replace cows
which die or become too old TO use
longer for breeding. In the above
figures the comparison is decided
ly in favor of the grazing land as
it is only in exceptional years that
a 10 per cent calf crop can be had.
In some drought years it Is not 55
per cent. And it Is well known
that in very favorable years alfalfa
crops Of from four or five tons per
acre are not uncommon from per-
fectly drained, well watered land.
It is not by any means argued
from the above that the alfalfa
lands are not assessed high enough
but the grazing lands are assessed
altogether too high. Further, 1t
should be stated that only land
with an ample water supply can
produce three and a half tons or
more Of alfalfa per year. There
is in all of the irrigated counties
of the state much room for inn
provement in the assessment of ir-
rigable farm lands. which, under
the present system are assessed too
much by office rules and without
due consideration of actual condi-
tions of water supply, drainage,
etc, on individual tracts.
Enough has been said. 1 think,
to show conclusively that If the
cattleman is to have a chance to
live, If the owners of grazing lands
are not to have their property con-
fiscated, If the cattle business In
New Mexico is not to be destroyed,
then grazing lands should not be
assessed generally at over half the
prevailing rates.
l am sure you will appreciate,
too. that personally and as presi-
dent Of the Taxpayers association
/ am in the closest possible SYM
pathy with the tax commission and
desirous of doing everything in
my own or the associations power
to aid the commission in any pos
sible way in its onerous duties. To
this end have enjoined the direc-
tor Of the association to cooperate
with you in every possible way and
this he Is more than willing to do.
Economic conditions in this state
have reached so sharp a crisis that
only through heroic measures can
we be saved from serious calamity
and all agencies, official, semi-of-
ficial and otherwise, must work to-
gether in order that an effective
solution be found. Fundamentally
the true solution Is largely in re-
ducing costs to income. This is
true in private enterprise, it is no
less true in public enterprise. 1t
Is this fundamental fact that must
be driven home. one way or an
other, sooner or later. The people
and their representatives are
slowly beginning to realize it and
the tax commission can. l am sure,
be a most effective instrument in
them more fully realize it,
while there is yet time to save the
without serious calam-
ity. Very respectfully yours,
(Signed) II. J. HAGERMAN,
President Taxpayers Associa-
tion of New Mexico.

HAVE NARROW ESCAPE
WHEN CAR GOES OVER

A party driving home from Delta
Saturday night at about IL O'Clock
had a miraculous escape from death
when the car plunged. over the Cory
grade at narrow place in the road
near the top of the hill, rolling over
several times a distance of about two
hundred feet.
Passengers We're w. F. kehmeier,
and son John and wife, Mrs. Keh-
meiers brother, Harold Miller. and
two others. Harry Andrews and Jack
Payram.
w. +. kehmeier sustained three
broken ribs and had his shoulder
somewhat injured; John Kehmeier's
nose was broken, his wife escaped
with some bruises and a shaking up,
while Jack Payram was rendered un-
conscious for several hours. His back
was somewhat injured. 1t is believed
he will recover He and Mr.. Andrews
are employed on the Kehmeier ranch
at Eckert.
The parties to the accident state
that when they started up the grade
one light had gone out and they were
driving with one light. When part
way up the hill this light left and it
was so dark it was impossible to dis
tinguish the road.
