Mind Your P's and Q's.

Some meg need the rough jolt of
occasional aLversity to remind them
of the value of their job, II is moi
smart to disparage ones employ
ment. If you cannot give to it your
loyalty, which is more than per-
functory fultillment of routine, yon
ought to make room for a good ana
faithful servant. The mere time
server draws down a wage that he
has scarcely earned and reyles, il
he does not actually bite, the hand
from which he takes it.
There is a pride in their calling,
among the genuine and self respect
full craftsman They do not care
to let the finish product leave the
toiling hand until it is as good as
they can make it. How different IL
their spirit from the time earning
way of those who do not care what
they turn out if only the skimped
dishonest workmanship will elude
the inspector and deceive a pur-
chaser.
Any industrial establishment is as
strong as the loyalty OF those who
work for it ana as weak as their
derelicton
II the output of those employed Is
inferior, it is the whole establish
ment that stands discredited. The
mistake or the Willful, malEeasasanca
of one stands not againsA his name,
which is hidden, but against the
place Of his employment, which Is
publicly known. If at store, or al
a government office, or in troliy
car, or at a railway station one EN-
ployee meets the public brusquely,
the public resentment extends be
yond the individual agent to the i'm
personal institution behind him.

SHERIFF ORTIZ is RIGHT.

The state law provides speed limit law and
light-dimmer laws on such roads. 1t Is beside the
question entirely for the commission to attempt to
pass on the wisdom OF these laws. They are on the
statute books and the county commissioners are

There will be those of who, looking back up

OF today are much the same those Of genera

do more openly many of the things which some Of
the lads and lassies of another day did behind the

conclusion that human nature today differs but
slightly in its good and evil desires, in its hopes ant

the new standards setting up.

THE ANNUAL MEETING.

The State Taxpayers Association holds its an
nual meeting in Albuquerque on December b, All
taxpayers who are interested in seeing tax
money honestly and prudently spent than they are
in escaping the payment OF their just proportion
of the taxes should attend.
The association has come under suspicion a.
times because It Is known that large proportion
Of It's financial support comes from the corporations
who are the big taxpayers of the state. However
the little taxpayers and the big taxpayer are equally
interested seeing that the money raised by taxa
ton is not wasted. At this point there is no conflict
and there should be suspicious.
The Journal has never lacked confidence In the
integrity of xGovernor Herbert ]. Hagerman, pres
ident of the association He belongs to the very
highest type of the intelligent and justice-lovinS
citizen We have not always agreed with him. bu5
we have never found him under the domination OF
any improper influences His judgment and honor
are not for barter.
Governor Hagerman showed type of ndepend-
ence last fall and winter which Is rarely SEEN AL
though president of this association, to which the
copper mines were heavy contributors, he wrote the
report of the Special Revenue Commission agains,
those same supporters, thereby alternating Them at
least temporarily, from the taxpayers association.
The people never have appreciated the immense
labor put in by Governor Hagerman, without one
dime Of compensation in an effort to equaze taxa
ton in this state New Mexico has no ADLER or more
public spirited citizen than he. His intelligence, IN
tegrity and interest In the general welfare are be-
yond all question.
Our sole difference of opinion with the Tax
payers Association has grown out Of what has
seemed to us to be too practical view concerning
the administration of public monies. 1t was for
Iisaiting the levy for school purposes and in man!
cases has fought leves for what may be termed
humane purposes. In It's zeal to keep taxes down
It has seemed times willing to sacrifice progress
There is a legitimate background for the view
point of the association. Taxes too high. They
must be curtailed in every possible way. More at
tention however should be paid, the Journal be
neves in going after those who waste pu oc money
Then there will be less occasion to wish to cut dowr
necessary levies
Rupert F. Asplund managing director, is very
efficient piece of machinery. He has made somt
blunders but he grows in wisdom and constantly
becomes more valuable to the taxpayers. With
good strong board of directors, devoted to the pub
lie welfare he would be valuable STILL
There is no better way for taxpayers to savi
money than by spending little In Joining the asso
citation. 1t is worthy of your support
We hope that people from all over the state vii
be here to attend the annual meeting. The state
can not afford to be without this institution

UNCLE WIGGHY AND SUSIES

BY Howard B. CARTS

When Uncle Wiggily, one day,
hoped into the underground bur-
row house where Sammie and Su-
sic Littletail. the rabbit children,
lived, he saw a sad look on Susie's
face. Susie had just come home
from the hollow stump school and
instead of seeming happy there
was a shadow of discomfort on her
face.
whats the matter, Susie ?"
asked the bunny uncle, twinkling
his pink nose in a jolly way. Did
you miss your gnawing lesson to-
day in the hollow stump school,
or couldn't you recite when the
lady mouse teacher asked how
many carrots you could buy, II
lollypops cost a penny each?"
"Oh, it isn't that, Uncle Wig
gily," answered Susie, and she sort
of shuffled her paws over the
floor. This slowed that she was
not happy. even If her face had
not told the same story. 1T ISM.

Uncle Wiggily looked serious.
He well knew that Susie's father,
Mr.. Littletail. the rabbit gentle
man, could not afford to buy q

with work so scarce and milk so
dear. But still Uncle Wiggily
wanted Susie to be happy.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE

Chicago, Nov 30-Record break
ing low estimates of the condition
of the domestic crop of winter
wheat had much to do with sharp
upturn today in wheat values. The
close was firm, &c to 2Rc net
higher, with December $1.13% to
$1.13k and May s1.17A to SLY q :.
Corn gained &c to 1Ac, oats fin
ished Il off to like advance. and
provisions varied from 10c decline
to rise of 30c.
According to a recognized au-
thority, the condition of the United
States winter wheat crop taken as
a whole is II as against a ten-year
average of 1874. Such an estimate,
together with normal winter loss of
acreage. suggested a yield Of 49,
100000 bushels. compared with
544, 100000 bushels harvested this
year. Less favorable crop reports
counted as bullish factor. and so
did famine advices from China and
assertions that grain exports from
Manchuria might be stopped. I'm
der such circumstances wheat
prices here closed at nearly the
days top. despite the fact that dur
ing the early part of the session the
bears were in control. owing large
ly to setbacks in foreign quota
tions and to the possibility Of lib
eral deliveries here tomorrow on
December contracts. The only off
set early was drought news from
Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas.
Corn and oats hardened with
wheat. Export demand for corn
was good. and country offerings
light.
Provisions had no decided trend
Business lacked volume and the
| market was easily influenced.
Closing prices:

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
SONS OF HUMOR.

A. breakfast time, when slumber lies
Not so remote from human eyes,
The Sons of Humor can evoke
A twisted word that makes JOKE
II serves to speed US on our way
And rather brightens up the day;
II curves the lips that for Willle
Have just forgotten how to smile
And I have seen a growing wrath
Diverted from It's crimson pain,
And laid aside, all cold and dead
Nv some fool-thing that has been SAID
There's plenty sad when day Is DONE
But Sons of Humor find the run,
To keep the laughter in our lives!
