STATE EDUCATORS PASS
RESOLUTIONS DENOUNCiNG
AMENDMENT NUMBER EIGHT

School interests of New Mexico are
united in their opposition to proposed
constitutional amendment No. 3, and
in support of numbers 3 and 10. No. 8
would fix a limit of 10 mills on the
tax levy for school purposes; the other
two would remove the two-term limit
now running against holding. the Of
fices of county superintendent OF
schools and state superintendent OF
public instruction. AT the conference
that has just been held in Santa Fe
there were present heads OF the high
er institutions of learning, county, city
and town superintendent and some
citizens who are serving as school dir
.ectors. The resolutions adopted fol-
low:
Whereas, the people of New Mex
leo will be called upon at the coming
September election to pass upon the
question of an amendment to the con-
stitution OF New Mexico, being am
endment No. 8, which proposes to linn
it the school levy to ten mills on the
dollar instead OF eighteen mills as the
law now provides; and
Whereas, the objection by the de-
partment of education OF the state
and of the educators in general to
amendment No. is not a question
OF teachers salaries, as some people
would have the public believe, but is
merely a question of upholding the
educational system and the most nee
essarv progress and advancement OF
our public school system; and
"Whereas, we, the educators pre-
sent, believing it for the best inter
ests OF the people OF the state OF New
Mexico and fully aware that the ad-
option Of No will absolutely cripple
our educational system in general;
"Now, therefore, be it resolved by
all the persons present, being city and
county superintendents and heads OF
educational institutions representing
nearly every city and county OF the
state, that it is the sense OF this body
that we fully support the state sup
erintendent OF public schools and that
we call upon all good citizens OF the
state of New Mexico to aid US in the
defeat of the said amendment.
BE it further resolved, that every
individual teacher ana educator II
New Mexico is hereby called upon tc
support the state superintendent and
the body OF city and county superin'
tendents and heads OF educational in
stitutions to use every legitimate means
to defeat said amendment NO be
yond hope of resurrection.
"We commend Superintendent J
Z L, = =
of the cause of education through the
public press.
"Be it further resolved, that we
bespeak the most earnest support
of the educators and people OF New
Mexico to the restoration in the con-
stitution OF the right of succession o.
state and county superintendent. we
therefore also approve and give oui
support to amendments numbers

ORGANIZATION OF EX-
SERVICE MEN URGE THE
ELECTION OF BURSUM

Disabled army officers in New Mex
leo have received strong letter frim
the National Headquarters OF The
Disabled Emergency Officers of the
World War, in Washington, D. C..
urging them to work for the cleo
ton of Senator H. o. Bursum at the
special state election to be held OH
Sept. 10th, so that he may be re-
urned to the United States Senate
and continue his good work there.
Senator Bursum's effort in behalf oi
the legislation which affects these
wounded veterans has been perhaps
the outstanding feature of his short
service in the Senate, following his
temporary appointment to the place
left vacant by the resignation of Sec
retary Fall.
The Senator is the sponsor OF a
senate bill to grant retirement pri-
vileges to disabled emergency army
officers, the enactment of which will
provide them with treatment equal
to that afforded all other disabled Of
ficers. This bill has received the
approval of the Senate Committee on
Military Affairs, of which Senator
Bursum is a member, and is now on
the Senate Calendar awaiting the con-
sideration of the Senate. Senator Bur-
sum is Of the opinion that the mea-
sure can be taken up very soon after
the end OF the proposed Congressional
recess, and there is little doubt as to
its ultimate passage by the Senate.
Senator Bursum's work to assist the
World War Veterans has not beer
confined to this particular measure
but has ranged over all Senate bills
affecting the ex-soldiers. The Sweet
Smoot Bill, recently enacted, which
consolidates and decentralizes the gov
ernment agencies dealing with the dis
abled soldiers and liberalizes the treat
ment afforded them, secured his hear
tv support. His vote against the re-
commitment of the adjusted compen'
sation measure marks him as one who
believes that relief for the economic
ally handicapped veterans is Just, anc
is necessary and possible at this time
and as one who follows his own con
victions instead OF blindly submitting
to party leadership on all questions
NJ. s. Stevenson, National Comman
der of the disabled officers organiza
ton. characterizes Senator Bursum a
"a man who has been, and who vii
continue to be an exceedingly abl'
and worthy representative OF you,
state in the United States Senate,
and says that New Mexico could onl,
with great difficulty find man morr'
worthy of being its representative il
the Senate than Is he whom the Dis
abled Emergency Officers want re
turned to the Senate on Septembe
Goth.

SEVEN MILLION IN
ROAD WORK INVOLVED IN
ROAD BOND ADOPTION

/ Ii Amendment No. II, which vail
dates the $2,OO0,0OO road bond act,
is adopted on September 20th it means
the expenditure of %OOOOOO in road
construction in this state during the
next four years.
The State Highway Commission and
State Highway Engineer have figur-
ed out the approximate amounts which
go to each county. The share OF each
county is in proportion to the assess
/ ed valuation for that county and is
the sum OF the two tables given be-
low, for example Grant county which
has the highest assessment will bene-
fit to the extent of $l78,036 state ap-
portionment, plus S445 1868 or toal
of $o23,399, and San Juan which has
the lowest assessment will receive
$4,000 from the state and $5l,5O0 from
the government, total of S72,lU
State Highway Engineer Gillett
stated at recent Good Roads meet
ing that the actual amount OF taxes
required to carry this bond issue will
be only about 40 cts, per 1000 of as
sessment This represents an actual
I
assessment, compared to 1920, because
the state road levy is reduced from
three to two mills which amounts to
reduction of Sl00 while the addi-
ton is only 10 cents The annual
tax is therefore less under the bond
issue, but OF course is spread over a
longer period OF years. Without the
bond issue the state road levy will
OF course have to go back to three
mills, or % cents more per $1,000 OF
assessment
Ii the bond issue carries it will pro-
vide sufficient funds together with
the Federal aid to complete one state
highway from north to south, one
from east to west, one from Albu-
querque to San Juan county, one from
Santa Fe to Carlsbad with a branch
to Alamogordo. and one from Santa
Fe through Rio Arriba and Taos
counties, while the counties not touch
ed by these main highways will have
their pro rata for local roads, or to
connect with these main highways.
If the bonds do not carry all the state
will have for the next ten years will
be a lot OF disconnected stretches OF
good roads from one to twenty miles
in length, separated by stretches OF
bad roads twice that length, which
will be hard to travel a part OF the
year, and impossible at times.
The 100000 per year received from
Automobile licenses and the S275,OOO
per year from the gasoline tax has
been appropriated by the State High
way Commission for maintenance OF
state highways and will be ample for
that purpose il the roads are con-
structed, because the up-keep then
is only about 20 per cent of what
it is on unconstructed roads, with the
additional advantage that the repairs
on constructed roads continue to make
them better, while the up-keep on
unconstructed roads is always tenn
porary and a complete loss as it must
be done over every one or two years
and is not effective or satisfactory
at that.
The table showing each county's
share from the bond issue, and each
county's share from the Federal aid
fund under the new bill which pro-
, vides $72 Federal aid for every SIS
of the state fund, follows:
