Prof. Rock has just returned to
Washington. after an extensive ex-
ploration into the jungles for the De-
partment of Agriculture's branch Of
foreign seed and plant introduction.
He brought back with him several
specimens Of the "taraktogenos" tree.
the seeds of which have been sent to
various experiment stations Of the de-
partment in Florida, Maryland and
California for termination.
Results I'm Eight Years.
Within eight years. it is believed.
enough fruit will be borne from these
plants to initiate domestic source Of

With the possible exception of a
man named Kerr, an amateur botan-

white man to invade the region of
Siam where he obtained his Speci-

genos forest to obtain enough of the
oil to meet their domestic needs, but
they made these trips only every three
years, for fear of the beasts that in
habit the wild country.
while chaumoogra oil has been
used scientifically for only few
years. Prof. Rock says the natives of
that part of Asia which he visited
have been using the curative prop
critics of the taraktogenos tree for
hundreds of years. but in such a
| crude way as to be unable to derive
its complete benefits.
'In the Buddhist histories that date

SCHOOL NEEDS AND ECONOMIES

I Asst month the people of New Mexico voted overwhelmingly
against q constitutional proposal to place q limit upon tax leyies
= for school purposes. The other limitations upon levies pro-
posed in the amendment probably would have been approved but for
the inclusion Of the school levy limitation
In this vote the people have declared Enthusiastically for a for
ward looking public school policy and in favor Of every outlay of
public money necessary to carry out such a policy. At the same
time the people have placed added responsibility upon educational
ture Of school funds; 10 check sternly any trend toward. cxtruva-
gance; to make every school tax dollar do 100 cents worth OF service
in delivering efficient school room guidance for the children of the
state.
Adequate school maintenance in New Mexico is a serious fnan.
emi problem Meeting IL adequately will impose n heavy burden Of
taxation. The people of practically every county in the state have
voted in favor Of as much Of the added burden as may be necessary
10 do the work. IL $ a splendid vote of confidence in state and local
school administration as well as a splendid evidence of forwardlook-
ing public spirit. IL should inspire school management, both state,
county and district, with the utmost enthusiasm for conscientious
care in directing the most important OF all public service.
In another column of today Herald is an editorial reproduced
from the Detroit News dealing with the possible influence upon
public education of thoughtless economies; of choosing the easy way
toward holding down school expenditures. IL will be Of interest
q those considering the cost Of school maintenance in New Mexico.
The thing most strongly emphasized in this article; the overcrowd-
ing Of school rooms, and the overwhelming Of teachers; is one of the
most serious problems before New Mexico school management. We
have il in Albuquerque public schools. There is hardly a room in
the ward school buildings that is not over-crcwdedi hardly a teach.
err who is not charged with the teaching of more children than can be
handled 10 best advantage
We have voted overwhelmingly in favor of correcting this con-
dition, which exists generally throughout the state. We should be
prepared for the added burden lit will inevitably impose. We should
carry that burden cheerfuly rs an investment that cannot fail 20 re-
turn adequate dividends.
And this fine, progressive stand which the people have taken in
declaring for adequate schools, no matter what the cost may be.
should bring a response from school management in every county
and district in New Mexico, in the elimination Of every unnecessary
fril, every extravaganza, every thoughtess expenditure; and in
school budgets made and expended TO force from every dollar 100
cents worth Of practical service to the children of the state.

Of the primary system Of nominations are probably wrong. The

No one cares 70 contend that the character Of public servants and
standards OF service have been raised through the influence Of the
direct primary. Opinion is rapidly tending toward the unanimous
conclusion that the influence has been to lower these standards.
II has been demonstrated 90 many times as to be beyond dispute
that the cost Of a state wide primary campaign Is too great 10 be
borne by any save a rich candidate. or ore willing TO accept the
financial backing Of others with all the subsequent obligations thus
imposed.
The people are beginning to recognize these facts which have
been so clearly demonstrated by thorough trial Of the state wide
primary nominating system. They are beginning to see, as they
look back over the histories Of candidates and parties, that under
the system of convention nominations any citizen with ability, de-
termination and courage could and did win his way to the goal he
sougtt-and that no political boss or machine was ever able to
stop him.
In 1920 there was some agitation in behalf of the state. wide pi
mary system in New Mexico. It was not so strong as in former
years when the craze was at its height. but it was present. Yet
when the question came up in the legislature, there were not ten
members In both parties who were prepared 10 say definitely that
their constituents wanted the statewide primary nominating system
installed in this state. The result was that republicans and demo
Gratis united in defeating proposed state wide primary legislation.
There are indications now that some Of those who see hope for
personal political advancement in change, and in no other way, will
revive the agitation for the statewide primary nominating system
in this state. II is not likely to gain even the headway achieved in
1870. While other states are struggling 10 get rid Of a system that
has proven unsatisfactory, and in some instances disastrous TO good
government and clean politics. 1t would seem the acme Of political
footshness for New Mexico to take on such a load.
