LEADING WOMAN EDUCATOR
OF JAPAN ATTENDING ARMA-
MENT CONFERENCE IN L. $

Undaunted by her SO years,
Madam Kali YAKIMA arrived in Wash
ington November 3 to attend the
conference for the Limitation of arma-
ments with a petition signed by TO-
900 japanese women for world peace
and better understanding between
nations.
This venerable leader who was
decorated by the japanese Emperor
for her educational work among girls
while in New York as the guest of
the National Board of the Y. NJ. c.
A., declared that at the age of 40,
she did not know that the world was
round. That Japanese girls may have
the educational advantages that she
lacked in her youth, Madam Yajima
founded the Joslin Gakium Guild
School at Tokyo. She is greatly be-
loved by thousands of graduates
throughout Japan. I'VE teach Eng
lish the Christian Religion and the
modern world" she declared.
Madam YAKIMA is the founder and
president of the w. c. T.tU. of ia
pan. The w. c T. L. for a score OF
years has had a department for the
promotion of peace and internation-
al arbitration. Madam YAKIMA is
closely in touch with the work of
the Young Women's Christian As
sociation in Japan. The Y. w. c.
A. maintains its headquarters in Tok-
yo with twenty foreign and fourteen
japanese representatives, and has a
Japanese membership of $500.

UNLAWFUI TO BRING BEER
INTO NEW MEXICO BORDERS
Is OPINION OF BOWMAN

Beer cannot legally be brought
into New Mexico for medicinal or
any other purpose it is held by At
torney General Bowman. This opin-
ion was written i'm response to an
inquiry made by the Silver City
Beer and Ice company. as to whether
or not it would be legal for the COM
pany to carry beer I'm stock for medi-
cinal purposes. The attorney gem
eral points out that the state laws
play an important part in the rigid
prohibition. His opinion, in part,
follows;
Under the prohibition amend
ment in the constitution Of this state
and the law supplemental thereto,
neither beer. whisky nor wine can
be imported into the state for any
beverage purpose whatever. and it
is my opinion that the regulations
of the Internal Revenue department
permitting the use of beer for medi-
cinal purposes cannot supersede the
fundamental law and statutes of this
state
Therefore. I would say that beer
can neither be imported nor sold
in New Mexico for medicinal or any
other purpose"

BATEMAN ACT IS
AGAIN INVOKED BY
SUPREME COURT
SECOND OPINION WITHIN
TEN DAYS WHICH MAKES
CONTRACTS WITH COUN-
TIES A PURE GAMBLE FOR
CREDITORS.

The supreme court has rendered
another opinion involving the Bate
man act The gist of the decision is
that county commissioners are not
authorized to contract debts on be-
half of the county, when funds are
not available to pay. and that there
can be valid court judgment award
ing pay to such creditors.
This second decision is in the case
of Leandro Sena, publisher Of
newspaper at Santa Rosa, against the
board of county commissioners of
Guadalupe. 1t involves the charge
for printing the delinquent tax list
of Guadalupe county. The opinion
follows the case of the Optic Pub
fishing company versus the board of
county commissioners of San Miguel
county decided the week before.
Board Allowed Claim
Sena presented to the board of
of county commissioners a claim for
s5,6O7.96 for the printing of the de-
linquent tax list The claim was al
lowed by the board, but not paid
because of no funds available. Suit
was then filed and the district
court awarded Sena a judgment for
the amount of the claim. The board
of commissioners appealed to the
supreme court, which reversed the
judgment of the district court.
The opinion is by Chief Justice
Reynolds, Justice Parker concurring,
Justice Davis did not participate. The
syllubus follows:
Opinion of Court
81. The Indebtedness incurred by
a county for the publication of the
delinquent tax list under the laws
of 1917, chapter so. sections / and
II, and laws of 1919, chapter 43,
section 3, is within the provisions and
limitations of the 'Bateman Act |.
e. sections 1927 to 1881, inclusive,
code 1915.
"2. No judgment can be rendered
against a county on a claim for cur
rent Indebtedness arising out OF the
publication OF the delinquent tax
list, where such claim has been pre-
sented, allowed and payment there
on refused or denied on account OF
insufficient funds with which to pay
it. Optic Publishing company YER

SAN JUAN COUNTY TO
SECURE A RAILROAD Is
BELIEF OF II. l.. HALL

The dream of residents Of San
Juan county of the building of a
railroad to afford an outlet for its
great resources. is in a fair way to
be realized, in the opinion of II. l..
Hall, state highway commissioner
and former state treasurer.
Mr.. Hall recently returned from
a visit to Los Angeles. where the
proposed plan to build the railroad
will be largely financed. Los Angeles
needs the products of San Juan coun-
ty. particularly the coal. for the de-
velopment of its own resources. And
then, another railroad would not
hurt any city that is growing as fast
as Los Angeles has been growing for
the last Is years. Mr.. Hall thinks
it is almost a certainty that the rail-
road will be built.

TAX COMMISSION
CALLS The ANNUAL
TAXATION MEETING
DECEMBER 10 TO 81 TIME
FIXED FOR CONFERENCE
OF ASSESSORS AND COUN-
TY COMMISSIONERS WITH
STATE TAX COMMISSION.

Call for the annual meeting of the
county tax assessors and county COM
missioners with the state tax COM
mission has been made by the lat
ter body. which says the conference
will begin at 2 o'clock in the after
noon of Monday, December 10, pro-
badly continuing until noon of We'd
nesday, December 81. Importance
of the matters to be discussed is
explained in the following call, which
is signed by J. Z. Saint, chief COM
missioner:
You are hereby notified that the
State Tax Commission has set Mon
day, December 18th as the date for
the next annual tax conference with
the assessors and county commission
ers. This session will probably last
from 2 o'clock in the Afternoon of the
18th to noon of "Wednesday the 21st.
Tax Laws Revised
Owing to the many changes affect
ing assessment laws and the assess
ors of the state, made by the last
legislature, the commission feels
that this meeting will be the most
important of any of the sessions here
tofore h cid, The repeal of chapter
115 regarding the assessment OF
grazing lands, placing the response
bility of assessing grazing lands on
the county assessor will be one OF
the main questions for discussion;
also the repeal of chapter "a, section
4 of the laws of 1915.
Chapter 81 Repealed
The last session of the legislature
repealed the entire chapter 81 and
made no provisions for the Tax Com
mission fixing the value for assess
ment purposes in the month of Nov
ember for sheep, cattle and other
/ livestock as provided in this chap
ter Fixing the value of livestock
will be one of the questions TO be
discussed at this conference, Under
/ the new law assessors are required
to make personal inspection of all
property assessed and the allowance
of $1,000 for additional deputy to
the amount Of $1,000, and $1,000 for
travelling expenses, will be matter
for discussion.
Use Several Deputies
II might be we'll in this connection
to say that the Tax Commission does
not believe that it is policy for the
assessor to employ a deputy for a
whole year at $1,000. The commits
sion members feel that greater econ
omy and efficiency can be created
by employing three of four deputies
during the first three or four months
of the year. These are matters that
will be discussed at the conference
and we want each and every one OF
you to be prepared to give the tax
commission your ideas of value on
land and livestock and your propos-
ed method of administering the new
law.
Expenses are Allowed
Under an opinion Of the attorney
general given for former conferen-
ces you will be allowed your travel
ing expenses and hotel expenses by
your county for the trip.

SEEDING CLOVER IN ORCHARD
Trees Given Longer Lease Of Life
Than Where Clean Cultivation
Is Practiced.

The Iowa experiment station in the
orchards which it manages makes it a
practice to seed clover between the
rows of trees. Trees which are han
died in this way live longer than trees
which are given clean cultivation. APP
parently clean cultivation causes the
trees to grow longer in the fall and
makes them more susceptible to win
ter damage. Trees which have clover
growing between the rows are decid-
edly more productive than the trees
which are in blue grass sod. The trees
in blue grass sod seem to stand the
winters fairly well, but grow very
slowly. The best method of tillage
seems to be to seed the space between
the trees to clover and then Whenever
blue grass crowds out the clover to
pillow up and seed TO clover again.
