Enerjetic Directors Push the Project
at Ton Speed

The roof of the Viroqua Crystal Ice
Company building is being put or 10

terprise has been pushed along so rap
idly, and Chairman Smith and the
other directors are to be congratulated
over the degree of energy they have
shown in the matter.

HANDICAPPED

Technically, the railroads were re-
turned to Their private owners on the
first OF Marcn, 1920. As a matter
of fact, the return was coupled up
with the retention of certain ma
tional Agreements which had been
made by the director of railroads and
which were burdensome to the priv
ate operators. Some of these agree
ments had been made in 1918, but
many more were made Just on the
eve OF the return of the roads to
their owners, and with full knowledge
that they would pc a handicap TO the
managers. The private managers are
not, therefore, fully responsible for
conditions that have existed since
they took over the operation of the
roads on March !, 1920. There has
been no opportunity to get the OPP
of the roads back to nor

Those who read the leading news
papers will readily observe the rom
inent position Senator H. o. Bursum,
OF New Mexico, has reached in the
United States Senate and the many
useful measures he has introduced
in the Senate and many of them have
already become laws. 1t has not vet
been three months since he became
a member of that body and in that
short time he has accomplished more
Tor his state and people than most
senators do in a full term of six years.
Senator Bursum is a mar of the peo-
pie, his sympathies are with them.
and for them he is devoting his at
tention and giving them the benefit
OF his labors and his ability. He is
a Republican. but he is not a senator
OF the Republican party solely; he
represents Democrats as well as Re-
publicans- a Senator representing all
the people in New Mexico. This is
shown by what he has done
and is doing for the people of the
state. The fact that he is a Republi-
can and under a Republican admin
istration he has a prestige that he
could not have under a Democratic
administration. which reinforces his
influence and usefulness. Ii would
not only be bad policy but unjust to
Senator Bursum by sending
untried man to the Senate in his
stead. There could be nothing gain
ed BY such a course and the people
would be deprived of a Senator whose
seem indispensable.

THE 10th AMENDMENT

II may be that the twentieth am
c0dmeut 20 the constitution will be
one authorizing the president to veto
parts OF appropriation bills that do
not appeal TO him as sound, while APP
proving and making law Of the re
naming provisions. Such a PROPOSE
ton has been presented in the SEN
ate by Senator William $. Kenyon OF
Iowa, and i'm the house by Congress
mar Martin +. Madden of Illinois.
II is too carly to forecast what VIII
bc the attitude OF senators and mem
beers toward the resolutions, but there
i, good reason to believe that the
amendment will receive the endorse
mcut OF two-thirds OF them and be
submitted to the states for ratiiica-
tiou IN the not distant future,
AT present the constitution requires
the president T. act on bills in their
entirety as they are sent to him by
congress. II frequently happens that
items OF expenditures are Included in
appropriation bills OF which he thor
oughly di,approyes, but, rather than
deny needed funds to the executive
departments, he attaches his name to
'hc measure, and the good and the
bad provisions together become laws.
Iu the senate and house, too, Ger
tain members do not scruplc to take
advantage OF a situation and insist
that unless a pet PROJECT OF their own

tiou measure they will hold mp the
whole bill and prevent It's passage.

LEAN YIELDS

After holding out SO days. the strike
of the British coal miners has been
settled. Thus ends one of the bitter
est labor struggles that the indus
trial world has seen. The only gain
OF the strikers was the establishment
of the principle of profit sharing. They
lost their fight for a national wages
pool, a national wage board. and will
accept reduced paw. The end of the
strike marks the downfall OF the So
called triple alliance union of the
ran employees, transport workers. and
miners-comprising a membership Of
about 2,000.Oo0 When the miners cal
led upon the other two organizations
to strike in sympathy with them they
failed TO respond. and the miners
kept up the struggle alone until they
ca~pitulated.
While little was gained by the strik-
ers. untold damage was done to pro-
perty and industry. Many Of the coal
mines were flooded. and some of them

recovery OF the others will necessarily

PAYING DEMOCRATIC BILLS

Senator Hitchcock. OF Nebraska, one
OF the Democratic leaders OF the Up
per House, complains OF the high
taxes, overlooking the fact that it
was his party that created the situ-
alton that makes the eNhorbitant tax
es necessary. We do not mean by
this to charge all the cost of the war
to the Democratic party. Far from
it. But the war cost nearly twice
as much as there was any need of
its costing. Every policy OF the VIII
son administration tended t o increase
costs and decrease efficiency. Money
was wasted like water. Materials,
time and labor were wasted, thus
diminishing supply and increasing de-
mand, with resultant high prices. Ev-
en- after the armistice, the Democratic
administration persiStently refused to
disband the army, reduce the war
time force of employees and hasten
the process OF getting back to nor
nal. Only the insistent demand OF
Congress forced Hitchcock's party to
stop its needless waste.

THE OTHER FELLOW SAYS
THE ~SENATORSHIP

Dona Ana county, to our south, has
perfected an organization which is
putting forth every effort to procure
the republican senatorial nomination
for former state senator H. B. Holt,
and they will use every honorable en-
deayor to see that he receives the
nomination at the convention.
Dona Ana county also has an av-
owed candidate for this nomination at
the hands OF the democrats of the
state, in the person of X. l.. Young,
a leading lawyer OF Las Cruces. Both
The republicans and democrats are
hasinC their hopes OF success for their
candidates on the ground that the
scnatorship should 90 to some one
in the southern part OF the state.
Their aspirations for their favorite
sons is commendablc, but at this time
il Is not WI taken or feasible. Either
mar would make a good L. s. SEN
ator. but they would not make as
good a senator, or secure as much
Tor the state as will Holm O. Bur
sum.
While Bursum is a product OF So
zorro county. the demand for his re-
%tcntion in the high office of L. S.
Senator is state wide. Bursum is a
man of the people, and the people
demand his return to the office he is
filling, so acceptably today. He
knows the wants and needs of New
Mexico as does no other man in the
state. He has already accomplished
wonders for our people and will ac-
complish much more, and the people
who are the arbiters of politicians
as well as in all other matters of
public interest, will see that Bursum
is returned to the senate. Bursum's
nomination is a foregone conclusion.

delighted ard highly honored should
the respective delegations from all
OF the counties OF the state favor my
.romirdt.on, but | am anxious thai
whatever the desires OF the several
delegations from the several coun-
les OF the state may be with refer
ence to the nominee for senator up
on the Republican ticket shall be the
Tree expression OF a free and open
convention as may represent the
undoubted will OF the electorate. To
this end | do not favor instructed
delegations.
On account of the very pressing
needs vital TO the state OF New Mex
leo and the many complex problems
confronting the Congress. | feel il
incumbent upon me to remain at my
post of duty, and will. therefore. be
unable TO take any part in the pre-
convention campaign. shall. how
ever, be present at the Republican
