WHO CARES?

Our friend Mr.. John Joerns of the Special Rev
enue Commission has filed minority report which
is now in the hands of the printer. We have not
seen it but have heard Mr.. Joerns state
ment regarding its contents.
He takes the majority to task for going beyond
the powers conferred upon it in the discussion of
state expenditures Mr.. Joerns conceives the func
tons of the commission to be confined to nyesti-
eating and reporting upon sources of revenues He
feels that state expenses of the com
missions business
In intelligent effort to solve any business
problem it is imperative to consider both income
and outgo. A state with $500O,O0O income and
$4,000 600 outgo is in good shape. One with the
same income and outlay of $500, 600 is headed
Tor the rocks.
What needs to be done about income must be
determined by the income needed The state treas
ury avoid bankruptcy by swelling income to
meet extravagant expenditures or by curtaing ex-
penditures to meet a reasonable income.
Mr. Joerns will find small sympathy with the
public in his contention The people do not
whether the revenue commission had the au-
thorty to criticize extravaganza and bad manage
ment not. Common sense tells everyone but Mr..
Joerns that no other course would be intelligent
What the state wants to get at is how little
money it needs to raise to maintain an efficient
government instead of how much it raise to
support needlessly extravagant one.

MIR. JOERNS AGAIN.

Among his criticisms of the report of the major
ity of the Special Revenue Commission Mr. John
Joerns, in his minority report, takes the commits
sion to task for crticisng the management of gov
ernmental departments without hearing at which
the departments have an opportunity for defense,
OF course he refers to the land office.
A grand jury, in making indictments, does not
hear the defense. If there is a substantial prma
facie it indicts and allows the defense to be
made at the trial before jury of the defendants
peers. Its action charges the defendant with hav-
ing committed the .offense but does not find him
guilty.
Precisely this is what the Revenue Commission
has done with the land office They charge it with
inefficiency and bad management but do not pre-
to find it guilty. 1t specifically says that the
question of guilt is matter for judicial inquiry.
If the legislature will ignore politics and be
guided by public interest the land office will get
all the chance to defend itself this winter that it
wants
II Mr. Joerns, being office holder himself, per-
haps has solicitude for office holders in which
the majority of the commission and the Journal
have share.

r7i~al o4rno into the full realization of how much
the tots meant to him. Here is how this great,
simple man tells the story:
Il never knew how dear to each other
these children and are until night before last
when they parted from me.
Entering their room my ship I found
some of their paythings, and began to collect
them; ! had to sit down, and, burying my face
in my hands, ] shook with the realization that
the destnies of these children and myself are
inseparably linked ! knew then mans love
for a child transcends all human laws"
The father instinct is practically unsung.
While most Of us keep intimate corner of our
heart for "Old Dad" whether he. is still with us
or not, the poets devote their odes chiefly to ma
ternal love, when they sing of parental affection
at all.
Though not al-consuming like mother-love, the
feeling of a normal father for his child neverthe-
less is deep and true and selfess While the gov
ernor" still among us, we took him and his
and his thoughtfulness for granted
is a little different We miss that
strong arm that was ever ready to ward off the
hardest knocks, if it could. We miss those
heart to-h heart, man toman talks that only our
fathers could give us. All have left is the
memory of him--of Dear Old Dad" for that is
how think of him aW
There are some greater souls who have
that daddy feeling' for children that not of
their own flesh and blood. Such man is Admiral
McCully. Seven Russian youngsters have Weakened
that instinct in him. and he cherishes them
most men would cherish their own.

DON'T KNOCK, BOOST.

p We need the new hotel in Albuquerque all
, right and will have it. But we need something
y else more. That something else is community
team work-a real town spirit The very best way
to develop this spirit is to get behind something
difficult to do and put it across with bang"
u The first thing might have been new hotel or
drainage a great sanatorium or any one of a
half dozen other things. Which one we tackled
first wouldn't make any difference just so the
job was big enough and attacked with enough
pep and accomplished with enthusiasm. t
j While we slept peacefully on, the Kwanis club
decided to tackle the hotel Very well; it serves
the purpose and the order in which do the
things which must be done doesn't matter. The
important thing is to get at them and do them.
So we all agree it is to be hotel first, We say
"all agree because we assume that the town
hasn't a knocker in it when it comes to town
building The man who says wrong time" wrong
idea" wrong leadership" wrong anything
else" is the enemy to progress. We need union of
effort undivided support toward making great
stride forward.
The test is on Is Albuquerque capable of
team work? If she is, all is WELL Can fall in
with the other fellows idea or will we refuse to
play unless captain the team?
Never mind your fears your objections. 1t
is too late for these. The is to be made
for funds for hotel. That canvass must and will
succeed For it to fail means psychological blow
to the town building spirit which would set us
back five years, For it to succeed means 1921 is
marked with red letters the year of rebirth for
Albuquerque. Success will give the spirit of
success. ITO him that hath shall be given" Have
faith and the substantial results of that faith will
give you faith in the future of the city.
Compel success and added success will be born
of it.
Don't knock, boost should be the motto Of
every man, and child.
The Kwans club is justifyng its existence.
1t deserves every support Those failing to get in
line, if there such, should be whipped into line
by public opinion. The adverse critic is the enemy
of progress If you think it not be done, do
your part anyhow and then the burden of failure
will be elsewhere, in the event of failure
which will not occur.
An organization to a 'gnats heel" is being per-
fected--the kind which fails.
We predict with certainty that this movement
will succeed. We predict that other and greater,
things will follow more easily in its wake.
If you do not want to be over, get in the
band wagon There is room for everybody.
Watch Albuquerque grow under its new
impetus.

him some acorns, which the ami

Orange Ice Mountains, sometimes

like catnip, of which Mrs. Kat

"Oh, no." quacked the duck

HOW TO BE HEALTHY
BY Charles j. Hatfield, NJ. d.

In the body tissues of most men
and women of adult life there lie
embedded little seed like struc-
lures called tubercles which con-
tain the germs of tuberculosis.
These tubercles are surrounded by
wall composed OF tissues some
what like an ordinary scar.
So long as the germ-invader re-
mains within his prison, Or to put
it in another way, so long Nas the
wall holds, the germs OF disease
are harmless. No need to be
alarmed merely because of the
fact that he carries the germs OF
infection of tuberculosis in his sys-
tenn. Nearly everybody does by
the time he becomes of age.
To prevent the wall from break
ing and to prevent the deadly
germs from setting up disease
process when the wall does break.
are, so far as we know, the only
safeguards. As,g
Almost anyone can acquire and
maintain good health. There are
no royal rules that will always APP
ply under all circumstances. For
the sake of building resistance, to
prevent tuberculosis, however,, the
following suggestions will be help
full to anyone, man. woman or
child:
keep the body healthy and
strong all the time by living,
working, sleeping and playing in
the open air as much as possible.
