WE REFUSE TO IITE.

SO we are trying to be "boss?" 1t would be
a novel sensation. With the entrenched political
and financial powers attempting to drive us out of
the state and ruin all of these past months, we
are trying presto, to convert ourselves into boss
and occupy their place?

We had thought that all wanted was to be
let alone. We had convinced ourselves that re-

and live would be heaven enough. In our wildes.

state. Our alleged designs should at once arouse
the sympathy Of the community for these helpless
creatures who are to be suddenly unthroned and
trodden under the feet of the Journal octopus. 1t
is patheticaly sad The people appealed to
that such catastrophe may be averted. They are
told to leave the royal triumvrate on the throne
for fear beggar may usurp it.
These gentlemen make themselves ludicrous.

general welfare. than has been the case with the
present blue-blooded triumvirate.
The editor of the Journal declines to fall for
the trap set. They want to make us space
defending ourselves, instead OF talking about the
high water rate, the paving fasco and the general
selfish. commonplace and reactionary character Of
the trumvirate. We are not running for office and
decline to defend ourselves

BUILDING BOOM STARTS.

Department Of commerce experts conclude after
examining official reports from 81 states that house
building has been resumed in earnest They speak
of a boom in housing construction, predicting a
total Of 100000 dwelling places will be erected
this year. Measured by floor space the contracts
awarded during the last three months are well
above the 1921 average and very near the high
year Of 1912
The housing shortage has been variously esti-
mated but 1t seems that less than 5000 900
houses and apartments indispensable to restor-
ing the balance between demand and supply which
will mean enough habtatons to go around with q
scale Of rentals suitable to the varying means of
the people. But house building boom of the d.
mansions indicated will not necessarily mean the
scarcity will be swiftly eliminated. 1t will mean
an increase Of prosperity through the employment
of artisans and aborers long idle and more insist
ent demand for houses than has prevailed for some
time.
Right now there are scores Of thousands of
couples and families huddled In inadequate living
habitations In keeping with American standards
With a revival of industry all these people will be
competing for the available homes. so that the
shortage will remain acute for several years in all
probability
Now, then, is the time to build Notwlth-
standing the boom indicated we are long way from
plenty in the matter of housing. Besides that buid-
ing Will hasten the revival of general business, of
which the country stands greatly in need.

have been done long ago. But these bonds should
be voted.
Water extension and sewer extension are obyi-
ousy essential. 1t re1uires no brains to see the
need. The money for these purposes should be
voted.
The viaduct bonds OF less doubtful wisdom.
The Journal is disposed to favor them on the
grounds that Messrs. Walton, Well and Tlngley will
not issue them until convinced that 1t Is the duty
of the city to share the cost of the viaduct Such
improvements should be made. generally by the
railroad company.
The people on both sides of the tracks need this
viaduct. 1t would be well to vote the bonds as 1t
will be two years before mistake can be rectfied
So we advocate the adoption Of all the issues
The public is told that we favor these issues be-
cause of a sixth sense as to what the people are
thinking and of our desire to be on the popular
side. 1t is told, falsely, that this same sense made
us oppose the recall. AS matter of fact everyone
knows that the Journal is opposed on principle to
the unionizing Of municipal employees
II we possess such sixth sense 1t may account
for our present opposition to the Triumvirate. The
people are certainly going to swat them

There Is a little more buying OF

the market Is still quiet. From the
recent top prices values now are
down about to 10 per cent in this
market. The situation at the mills
is very much mixed and with the
strike outlook bad and the demand
for cloth very limited. there is lit
tie In the immediate prospect to
encourage business. The fnanufac-
turers still are doubtful about the
tariff outcome. also, which of

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
TEUToNIC BUSINESS ALERT.
(From Daily Financial America.)

(From Daily Financial America.)
Austrian resources, like Germany's evidently are
not in such miserable conditions as some of those
seeking loans would have us believe. There is the
Union Bank of Vienna offering in exchange for
the Uruguayan wool monopoly to supply the Uru-
guayan government with all materials necessary
for the Identification Of the state tramways The
offer has been accepted "in principle" despatch
from Montevdeo says.
Germany and Austria before the war used their
vast electric manufacturing trusts to gain large
share of South Americas trade. The bid for Uru-
guayan wool shows effort to revive former
methods of control aided by monopolies and tariff
determinations. America buys about one-sixth of
all her imported wool from Uruguay. 1t cost us
80 million dollars last year. If America is COM
PEELED by this monopoly to buy Uruguays wool in
Vienna may be sure that there will be an ample
profit charged to the Austrian middleman. And
Austria is begging loans from while planning
this squeeze! Some Of these heart-rending pleas
should be diverted to those Vienna banks which
seem to be in funds just nowsa

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE

Chicago, March 31.-Wheat I'M
derwent material setback in price
today owing largely to bearish crop
estimates. The market closed heavy
1c to 27sc net lower. with May
$1.321s to $1.325s and July s1.17k
to $1.17Ss. Corn lost 1c to 1 sc
and oats 1Sc to &c. In provisions
the outcome was unchanged to 15c
lower.
According to reports given out
today by unofficial authorities, the
condition of the winter wheat crop
appeared to be around 70 per cent
as compared with rs in December
last. Estimates of the probable
yield varied from 550,000.000 to
5000, 900 bushels against Deem
Der estimates of 527,000.000 bush
els. With such figures current, and
with milling and export demand
slow, the market readily took
downward course, especially as
Liverpool quotations showed weak
weather in the domestic winter crop
belt.
Lack of support for wheat values
was particularly apparent near tne
end of the day. The Nay delivery,
which was much in demand yester-
day by shorts had no special prop
today and underwent relatively
greater setback in price than did
July or September. All the active
deliveries closed at the bottom
prices of the session.
Corn and oats went lower with
wheat. Notwithstanding that wet
weather was said to have decreased
the acreage of oats as much as S
per cent and to have del yed to a
serious extent farm work as a
whole. Provisions were pulled
down by weakness in the hog mar
ket and by slowness Of cash de-
mand.
Closing prices:
Wheat = May, s1.32h; July,
$1.171s.
Corn-May, 57&c; July, 61Bc.
Oats-May, $3.50; July, 39c.
Pork--May, s1S.75.
Lard-May. $10,47; July. $1o.72.

THE BOND ISSUES.

II the Triumvlrate will their camouflage
and talk frankly to the people about the need OF
the bond issues, those issues may have chance
to carry at the election. The assumption by these
gentlemen that the public is waiting with bated
breath for chance to vote these bonds is pre-
sumption instead of assumption
The public SPIRITED citizens Of albuquerque are
prepared to vote all necessary bonds in order that
the city may go forward. But they must know that
the need exists. The Triumvirae has not furnished
sufficient information the subject. 1t has been
too absorbed in being reelected to worry about the
bonds.
If these gentlemen will direct Mr.. Gladding or
some one else to give additional information or
arguments. the Journal will be glad to carry the
articles.
The absurd accusation that the Journal was
against the bonds until it that the sentiment
was so overwhelmingly for them that it about
to be run over by public sentiment. will make the
public laugh. Nothing is easier to defeat than n
bond issue. The taxpayer must believe beyond a
doubt, that the need exists before he is willing to
vote the burden himself. The Journal supports
the bond issues because of its conviction that they
are some Of essential steps to the development of
q city. 1t urges taxpayers to support these pro-
posals
The state health department tells the city
mission and the public that we are due for trouble
~ we do not arrange for disposal Of sewerage at

days.
Columbus became Il GenocSc sailor
when If years old-latcr he studied

that the shores of China looked GU.
upon vast body of water and that the
world was round.
After much thought Columbus con
ceivcd the idea of sailing westward to
China. He estimated the distance to
be $500 miles. He tried to interest
people in his plan and finally, 60 years
later, Queen Isabella agreed to finance
his expedition. The cost has been cs-
timated at $42,173, according to coin
values at that time.
