GREASY FOUND GUILTY OF
 SHOOTING MISS EDITH M. LAvoY

Mineola. N r., Oct. Civilian M. Greasy, Kentucky mechanic. was found guilty of murder in the first degree to- night for the shooting. of Miss Edith N. Layoy, Freeport, N. Y. school teacher.
 The jury returned it's verdict after less than three hours deliberatIon.
 When the foreman announced, guilty of murder in the first degree" counsel for Greasy requested a poll of the jury. The court ordered the poll. and each of the twelve men in turn rose and answered guilty"
 A motion for new trial was made at once. and when this was denied, coun- scl for Greasy said that the case would be appealed.
 The court room and corridors were crowded during the closing hours of the trial. Women were in the majority. Many of the mothers and housewives who have followed the trial closely, left the court room at five o'clock, but crowded back after the supper hour to await eargerly the return of the jury.
 There was no demonstration when the verdict was announced. Greasy appeared unmoved. He walked steadily to the clerks desk and answered the usual uestions. He was remanded for sentence next Saturday.
 Love letters said to have been ex- changed between the school teacher and the mechanic who, the testimony showed came to know each other through a ma trimonial agency, compromised the bulk of evidence. They were submitted by the state, seeking to prove that Greasy shot the young school teacher when she refused to entertain his suit longer; and i by the defense in support of it's con- tention that Miss Lavoy shot herself when Greasy suggested a postponement l of their marriage.

 Early in June Greasy came from hi home in Fort Thomas, Ky. The pur pose of this visit, his counsel attempte 1 to show, was to break off with Miss La

SIDE from voicing approval for public policies upon which senii-
N ment among those engaged in all forms of agriculture was form
IA ed and fairly well known II is not clear that the Agricultural
conference has accomplished much in the way of Immediate relief for
the food producers Of the nation. if immediate results were expected
the conference will be a disappointment. II its purpose was to en-

the producers themselves, then ultimately benefits win reul.

If the purpose of the conference was to bring home TO the pro-
ducers the fact many Of them have long suspected. that the sure way
out Of their troubles is through the exercise Of their own individual
brains behind their own sweating brows, then the results. while slow
in realization will eventually show up.
There are things of vast Importance and enduring benefit which
can be done for the farmers by legislation and through wise admin
strative effort at Washington. But legislation and conferences ran-
not alter or greatly ameliorate the effects Of the fact that prices of
wheat and corn went up first in the great initiation and were followed

y OF very long ago a thoughtful Albuquerque citizen produced
v a slogan. win we drain or will we DROWN The refer.
enoe need not be explained even to the newest newcomer
who has viewed our broad areas of frozen swamps, soon to
thaw into renewed productivity in mosquitoes and Odors
More recently we adorned our conversations and our newspa-
pers with the slogan, NO one can stop us but ourselves The ap
phcaton Of this slogan, likewise, needs no diagram.
The two slogans might well be Joined for future use. Because,
whether it is drain or drown, no one will stop us but ourselves,
We are in a fair way to accomplish either.
There is an attitude among some very loyal and intelligent cii-
zens to the effect that since we have stood the present conditions so
long. a few more years will not hurt.
That used to be the attitude of many consumers of alcoholic
sumulants, in the raoy old days when nearly every one was more or
less of a consumer. 1t was frequently suggested that another little
drink won't hurt "
But in those same old days, and even in the vostead era, we
have frequently encountered the case when another little drink
did hurt, and hurt in serious and far reaching ways.
The Middle Rio Grande valley is not unlike the once wellknown
steady drinker' who invariably held that one more little drink
won hurt =
Like the topper ski, this valley of ours has been soaking up
water for centuries. Its ancient system of irrigation and its meand-
ering river have distributed that water everywhere through the
valley The water table has been rising steadily year after year.
When water rises in a basin and is not checked, the basin eventually
will be filled and will then overflow. Our valley has reached the
stage of permanent overflow. We have had our one little drink too
many of flood water and underflow and seepage, and like the topper
of old who could not stand one more drink and retain any usefulness,
the lands in this valley for the most part, are through. Their use
fulness is done until they are reclaimed. We will drain these lands
in the immediate future, or the rising water table will drown our
enterprises and our hopes, in so far as this section of mother earth
Is concerned.
If the reclamation of these lands meant no more than rescue
from a watery grave, W e might be content to drown or move. But
their reclamation actually means the solution of most of the more
serious prblems of this section of New Mexico. The matter of the
The evening herald. [volume] (Albuquerque, New Mexico) 1914-1922, 1922-01-29

tax burden, now a very present one in our minds, can only be solved
through reclamation of the valley. The city government of Albu,
ouerque is not extravagant. Our school system is not unduly costly.
Our county government is not wasteful except in petty ways. We
can effect some economies, no doubt, but they will be negligible in
amount except they be such as will impair efficiency of public err.
vice. This community needs to spend more money on its schools and
municipal equipment, not less.
The only way to a solution of the tax problem, as II affects us
locally, and as our local government creates il, Is by distribution of
the load, and distribution of the load can come only with new prop
ery and enhanced values.
Unproductive, idle, waterlogged land, when drained and irri-
gated. is property created. Land that will produce four strong
cuttings of alfalfa is worth several times as much rs land that will
produce but one or two scraggly and blghted crops And the values
thus created are but the foundation upon which can be built a great
structure of other values which will build a city here, nourished by a
thriving agricultural territory into constant growth and enduring
prosperity
1t has been persntently reported that the land owners through.
out the valley are opposed to drainage; that they do not want to
cooperate in the united effort that must be made TO get it. But the
evidence does not indicate any such attitude. The delegation of land
owners from Valencia county who went TO see the drained areas
around Las Cruces recently does not indicate any such attitude. The
in,eres. shown by land owners nearer Albuquerque shows NO opposi
tion. The appeals Of the owners Of the bhghted lands along the river
in socorro county do not indicate that they want to be left submerg
ed, as they are at present. The occasional expressions of solitude for
the wild ducks and wild geese by some enthusiastic game protection
it do not mean opposition to a reclamation plan.
Aid from the federal government, for financing such large re-
clamation enterprises as this, will soon be available. II cannot be
made available without complete preparation here. Tha. prepare
ton. once made, will reveal a reclamation enterprise so practical and
so certainly profitable that it can be readily financed, whether fed
eral aid is available or not.
None Of the above alters in any way the fact that whether we
decide to drain or drown, no one can stop US but ourselves
1t is also true that as TO drainage, no one can start us but our
selves.
