COST OF LIVING RECEDIN6.

From data gathered by the department of labor
it Is calculated that the cost OF living has declined
229 per cent from the peak of June 1920, but it
is still $50 per cent above the pre-war rate. At
the end Of March it cost AZ per cent less to live
than at the close OF last year. The biggest drop
was in food, 11.s per cent but fuel and clothing
also showed substantial declines while housing costs
had been reduced but slightly.
There is ground for despair. however. The
reduction in living costs moves less swiftly than
people would like but the decline Is practically
constant and there evidences that in the not dis
tant future it will be faster The mems clothing trade
announces that offerings in the fall will be priced
approximately IS per cent below current figures.
Fuel is expected to take drop, II for not other
reason than because freight rates will be lowered
And this factor will influence most other costs.
No one be certain what the course OF food
prices will be after the harvests, for no one knows
anything about the volume of crops the capacity
of Europe to absorb any surplus this country have
have. But with the main items OF everyday necessi-
ties at the level reached by March 81 and further
reductions promised in some OF the more impor-
tant ones, the people go forward confident that
better times are coming-bettcr that is as they are
recorded in living costs For the rest, there is sub
stantal reason for believing prosperity is forcing
itself the country.

OUR REPORT.

Several months ago the Journal announced thai
it was undertaking an independent audit OF the
State Department of Education during the four
years of the occupancy of j. H. Wagner. Since that
time we have been silent the subject We have
been twitted about the matter and have been asked
what has become of the audit, with the implication
that we had abandoned the task.
Had known what Job we were undertake
ing we would not have begun it. However, we
have persisted and the report is approaching COM
pleton. The public may reasonably expect an an
nouncement of the finding of our experts within
the next two weeks.
Pending this report we have refraned from
further comment concerning Mr.. Wagner's admin
isration of the financial affairs of his office dur
ing those four years We have also withheld fur
Their comment about the management and meth
DDS of the State Travelling Auditor
Whatever the findings may be we will give the
public full information We will commend If we
can and censure If must.

NOT TOO FAST.

large number of labor leaders have been ar
rested in Chicago suspicion OF having instigated
the shooting OF policemen and the bombing Of build
ings.
The public should watch its STEP The natural
tendency will be to feel irritation toward all union
labor and TO regard it radical and lawless NO
one should jump TO such conclusion.
In tho first place it is possible that the men
who have been rounded up guiltless. The prob
ability is that most Of them at any rate, know moth
ing of the lawlessness and thoroughly disapprove
of it, If any were parties it, they probably acted
az individuals. The unions should not be held
RESPONSIBLE for the personal acts of half baked
members.
The public should remember that this "round-
I'D" may be inspired for the sole purpose Of dis
crediting union labor. 1t is even within the pos
sbilities that contractors planned the lawlessness
in order to crystalline public opinion against labor
Only a thorough sitting can get at the facts
Union labor has lawess and cratic members who
may have been guilty of these einous offenses. So
have the contractors. Human nature Is much tho
same in all walks OF life and large body Of men
can be gathered without black sheep" among
them.
Even II 1t should be shown that organized
labor leadership in the building crafts in Chicago
instigated these crimes the reflection should not
extend elsewhere TO unions which have chosen con-
servative and aw-abding leadership.
Whoever is guilty should be punished vigorously
The matter should be slfted to the bottom with
out fear or favor letting the chips fan where thel
may. No good American will defend any such
crimes The stamp of public disapproval must be
emphatic in such cases. The unions should lead
public sentiment in such dsapproyal. For union
labor to countenance lawlessness will destroy the
unions.

VULNERABLE GIBRALTAR.

stable the Rock Of Gibraltar" is losing its
meaning i'll terms OF war. An authoritative British
review says that in military circles Gibraltar is dis
trusted.
From ancient times have trusted in hills
and rocks points of vantage for fighting. The
soldiers of Caesar fortified their nightly camps on
high ground whenever possible. Rushing down a
slope they hurled their heavy pixies upon an enemy
with deadly force, Missionary Ridge, Lookout
Mountain, Cemetery Ridge, Little Roundtop and
Stone Mountain scenes OF battle in civil
war. Attacking forces who had to run up hill were
at great disadvantage.
For than 200 years Great Britain has
trusted in the strength OF Gibraltar to keep open
the route to India and Australia. But modern
developments have changed all the plans. Gibral-
tar does not afford convenient landing places for
airplanes, and planes said to be the only ade-
quate defense against planes Gibrater drops to

THE GOOD OF THE STATE.

In conversation with a prominent and well-in-
formed office holder in the state, who has often
criticised the Journals policies, the editor Of this
paper made inquiry as to the basis Of such criu
cism. He was informed that mere difference of
opinion to the wisdom OF certain policies was
only mildly responsible for the criticism. Our
friends objection TO the fact that we were
personal at times.
As to differing opinions or policies, there is
little to be said. Men should never fall out because
they fail to think alike Every man has right TO
q decision which is right. The menace to New
Mexico has been the failure OF the masses OF the
people to think upon public questions at all What
ever agitates peoples minds and them 10
think, is desirable, whether the specific proposal
which stirred them to thought is wise or unwise.
The people easily determine the right cause
when they give thought to matter
The journal denies that 1t is personal.

THE GOAT.

A report from Santa Fe announces that Gov
ernor Mechem has appointed prominent Albu-
ouerque citizen State Treasurer to succeed G. U
Strong. The new appointment meets with criti-
cism from the journal. If the gentleman whose
name is proposed can see his way clear to inject
himself into the situation at Santa Fe. well and
good We trust that he may successfully avoid the
role Of "goat'-a part which the present treasurer
has been compelled to play in full.
The Journal feels sorry for Mr.. Strong. The
law fixes responsibility upon the state treasurer
for the safety of state funds in his hands and in
tn. absence OF the facts. we have been forced to
ertheless we feel confident that Mr. Strong is the
victim Of the political system at Santa Fe and tina!
he has not been the real beneficiary Of the ma
nipuation of state funds We are disposed to dis
believe the fair import to be drawn from the facts:
that is that he Improperly profited by the things
which he did.
However long Mr.. Strong is foolish enough
to keep silence and assume the full odium, there
is no other place to put the burden. His reputa-
ton will be permanently impaired IL the matter is
left as it now stands. Unless the public is told
who did benefit, they will conclude that 1t was Mr..
Strong
1t is difficult to understand how any man who
has regard for his good name. will feel bound to
be silent instead Of giving the public the facts and
distributing the responsibility as It belongs.
Helping just to correct evils by exposing
them, would go far to rehabilitate Mr.. Strong in
the good opinion of the people OF the state.
However, he will be told by the gang that this
is not the and every pressure will be used to
induce him TO carry the whole load. Will he yield
TO the sophistry of these arguments and stand as
the goat" Does he prefer being regarded as
crooked" instead of unwise?
