asserts that not the military. but the
c.nstabulary, were responsible for the
ceeds to explain that clamor from the
constabulary brought about climax,
when the divisional commissioner of
police at Limerick complained to Dub
lin Castle that the military had no
power to punish communities under
martial law. and threatened that if the
"Kilcommon murders" continued to go
Anpunished he would withdraw all the
small detachments of consrabulary and
leave the country to the rebels.
Thereupon. the statement adds, the

became official.

tension of martial law to Dublin City
and County.

"A LITTLE CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM"

New Mexico workers for the cause of European
relief are telling the following story of the young
est members of the movement to aid the starving
100000 children of central and eastern Europe:
Miss Rosemary McShane three months old
whose father is the mayor of New Orleans
Louisiana is the first person of her age in the
United States to display initiative in assisting the
European Relief Council of which Herbert Hoover
is chairman, to raise $50, 100000 with which to
save the lives Of starving children in war-strcken
countries.
Miss Mcshane has Just been appointed chairman
for Louisiana of the Baby's Brigade, an organiza-
ton to whose membership any baby not over one
year old is eligible. The initiation fee is 10 cents
and the membership is for life and non assessabe.
In confirming the appointment Of the potential
southern belle by telegraph yesterday, Mr.. Hoover
expressed his appreciation of her efforts in behalf
of the suffering children of Europe in this Ian
guage:
Il deeply appreciate your acceptance of the
Craftsmanship of the Louisiana babies in the cru
SADIE to aid the $4,000 destitute European chill
dren for whom the European Relief Council seeks
$33,OOO,OOO. There is nothing in the world more
precious than the life of a child and had rather
the American flag planted in childrens hearts
than the battlements of victory"
Almost Immediately after Miss McShane's initial
efforts at organization had been noticed, Mr.. Howell
Edwards, Jr, also three months old, who lives
with his parents in Admission, Alabama, took up
the movement with such telling effect that he has
been appointed chairman for the whole south and
will advise in the appointment of leaders in the
various of that section each of which is to
have chairman Of ages approXimating those of the
intrepid pair who have assumed leadership.
Both Miss eMcShane and Mr. Edwards deter
mined that the organization they have founded
will eventually include all persons of eligible age
in the south and leaving stone unturned to
advertise the conditions and purposes of member

who heard him cooling in his crib few days ago.

MUSIC CLUB A CIVIC POWER.

The concert tonight by Arthur Middleton, the
famous oratorio singer and sooist from the Metro
poltan Opera company, marks the close of sue
cessful concert series sponsored by the local Fort
nightly club. The series of concerts by the ablest
concertsts in America mad Europe who have been
brought here by this enterprising music club, have
educated the Duke City to appreciation of music
classics, and whetted the appetite for the best.
A few years ago to advertise world renowned
artists here invariably meant half-ifed or third
filled house. Never capacity house. But since the
Fortnightly club has acted educator by bringing
artists and through aggressive publicity and ticket
selling, have rounded up" TIE people to hear their
programs there is a reversal of the public re-
Spouse. To announce celebrated artist now is to
assure a good attendance of lovers of high class
music.
One of the many worthy causes the Fortnightly
club is lending its prestige and work to aid, is the
career of the Albuquerque young man. who is
studying voice culture in Chicago, and is making a
sensation like a Concert lion" in music circles
there and who is to come to Albuquerque to give a
song recital under the auspices of the Fortnghty
club soon after Easter. This concert is to mark
the opening of a concert career for Louis Mehan
who has made good and is already eXcelling and
causing his friends here to thrill with pride.
Another achievement of the Fortnightly club,
worthy of praise is the atruistic spirit that was
recently expressed in the benefit concert given in
Been for the purpose of buying piano and placing
music in the lives of the students enrolled in the
Frances E. Willard school. Yesterday there came an
appreciation of this concert from one of the most

que Fortnightly Music club for the Frances e.

Those who know. and have kept in touch with
the club since it's organization declare that every
thing the club sponsors is success.
And the final concert O fthe lyceum series to
be heard tonight when Arthur Mddleton's rich
bass-baritone will attract throngs to the high
school, promises to add laurel to the clubs
successes.

WHERE THE TRAIL WINDS
DOWN.
(By Pearl Hughcs.)

Down in Southern Arizona, far from northern
rain and snow,
Is a peaceful little valley that you perhaps may
know;
With a river flowing thru it and the mountains
all around,
Stands lonely little cabin. where the trail winds
down.
The giant cactus on the hill that stand so
very high,
Look like sturdy sentinels outlined against the
sky,
And when twilight shadows lengthen and turn
from gold to brown,
They guard this little cabin where the trail
winds down.
Just above it is the canyon with its walls of
red and blue
And filled with granite boulders, where the
stream comes rushing thru.
The valley it is always green, the hills are
scared and brown
That surround this little cabin where the trail
winds down.
I climb up to the mesa" and l. sit me down
and dream,
As gaze into the valley and watch the flowing
stream.
In the distance are the mountains, and they
almost seem to frown
Upon this little cabin where the trail winds
down.
We have spent some pleasant hours in this quiet,
81 little place,
Where the sun is always shining, and never
hides its face;
But the time is fast approaching when must
go back to town, f..u. t-a- tHF
But I could live forever where the trail winds
down.

ON TAXATION.
Folsom, N. M. Jan. 29, 1921

Folsom, N. NJ. Jan. 20, 1921.
To My Fellow Taxpayers of New
Mexico:
Gentlemen:-We now have our
state legislature in session.
The state tax commission has re-
ported in substance that means
will have to be found to raise more
revenue.
The legislature, of course, will
take this report into consideration
in revising the tax levy. Now What
the taxpayers need is to devise
some means to reduce taxation and
cut out unnecessary state and
county expenses,
In my own county COZ lTnion)
take as example of tax on cattle
industry. Two ranches, old es-
adjustments, the Crossell ranch
which is a straight COW ranch ono
steers), their only source of reve-
nue. is the value of the yearly calf
crop. They raised 80 per cent
cent calf crop last year. Their
state and county taxes for 1920
is over 50 per head on each calf
raised.
O. w. McCustion ranch, where
sole revenue is from calves raised.
The per cent on the McCustion
ranch of calves was 95. The tax
for 1920 which he paid was $3.50
on each calf raised.
We doubt there are many other
cattle ranches which figure out
similarly. / do not quote my own
business because it is practically u
steer ranch. and it shows a shrink
age of value of so per cent on the
steers.
/ judge other business is in much
the same condition as to taxes as
the cattle business.
Now our legislature has plenty
of advice and figures from the Of
flee holders and politicians point
Of view. What they need and ought
to have is the taxpayers side of
the case.
| suggest to the taxpayers of
each county to send one or more
delegates from each voting pre-
cinct in the county to meet at the
county seat, there to consult and
advise some method of cutting
down both county and state eX-
penses; having decided on some
plan to agree on a delegation to go
to Santa Fe and meet similar dele
cations from the other counties.
At Santa Fe, these county dele
cations could decide what law the
taxpayers need for their protection,
and recommend it's passage by the
legislature. The idea is to reduce
costs of running state and county
The minimum salary of school
teachers at present time and under
existing conditions should not be
raised, because their present pay
has increased in purchasing power
80 per cent, and will be so in the
near future, as compared with the
purchasing power of a dollar two
years ago, while the ability of tax
payers to pay taxes has decreased
in like proportion.
Anything done under these sug-
gestions must be done quickly in
order to have the legislature act
on the recommendations of the
taxpayers before adjournment.
Respectfully,
(Signed) JOE DOHERTY.

I gave him the address, my
eyes on the carriage, then thank
ing him for his courtesy we left.
"Of course you'll have to pay
the eXpressman for bringing it
up" Helen remarked, after she
had agreed with me about its be-
ing the very prettiest one we saw.
"IIoW much will that be, do
you suppose?" l asked.
ooh, | don't know! It's a good
way, perhaps a dollar. That will
make it cost you about twenty
six dollars. / expect it would have
been thirty-five at retail"
| said nothing but l had begun
to be bit frightened at my eN-
travagance. But when as soon as
reached home Helen gave me the
twenty-five dollars, and said L
need be in no hurry to return it,
| thought only of how lovely the
carriage was, and how daintily l
should fix it up.
Tom Is TOld--In Part.
When Tome came home l told
him l had been down in the
wholesale district with Helen,
looking at baby carriages.
You still think he must have
carriage, that a go-cart isn't
good enough for his royal high
ness?" he asked. as he took Tom
Jr., from me so that 1 could as
sist the girl, whom l had not yet
sent away, with the dinner.
Yes, Toni he will look so cute
in the carriage. l don't mind if it
is a little heavy to push" an
swered his unspoken objection,
and Tom, see the rug Helen gave
him today" and proudly l showed
the lovely gift.
81 see where dad will have to
hustle to keep the young mans
wants satisfied as he grows older
Tom whimsically declared.
80 you don't mind if l get the
carriage" ! asked.
why no, if you don't spend
any more than the go-cart l priced
would cost; but we can't afford
anything more expensive"
l Immediately dropped the sub
iect, and commenced to talk of
something else. He hadn't asked
me how much l would have to
pay; had simply taken it for
granted that l could get the car
riage as cheaply because / had
purchased it wholesale. Tom knew
as little about the prices of such
things as did l.
