MISS MEDILL VICTIM

Worked for Y. w. 6. A.

Newark was shocked today to
learn that Miss Agnes Medill was
suffering with scarlet fever. The

spirited work and was one of the most
active workers in the drive for
funds for the Y. w. c. A. Last night
Miss Medill suffered with a sore
throat and today the doctor pro.
nounced it scarlet fever. Her condi.
ton is as good as can be expected.

A splendid start in a cooperative
movement for the good of the schools
of Newark was made last Friday
evening with the organization at the
High School of Parent Teacher AS
sociation for the Newark School dis
trict. The meeting was called to order
by Miss Eta Wilson, President of
the Newark High School Alumni AS
ISOLATION, and the object of the Par
ent-Teacher Association as defined in
the State Constitution, stated: "to
serve as a channel for the distribution
of correct information regarding bet

portunities for the children of Della

ganizations working to secure these
things; to assist Boards Of School
Trustees in securing the widest pos

Local School Matters
Before State Board
No Immediate Prospects for
New High School-Schools
Overcrowded
Vocational Training Gets Slap

At the meeting of the State Board
Of Education, in the Faculty Club
rooms of the University of Delaware,
last Friday morning, DR.. Walt Steel
representing the Newark Board of
Education presented problems of the
local High School.
The people of Newark who have
interested themselves in the local
school situation are aware Of the fact
that the High School is overcrowded
and the prospect is that this condi-
tion will become worse instead Of
better. 1t has been a thorn in the
side Of the loacl Board Of Education
how this trouble is to be overcome.
DR.. Steel in speaking to the State
Board pointed out what the local
Board was up against at the present
time and it looked as though the
starting of next term would see con-
ditions even worse than they are at
the present time. The local Board
member said that more room was
needed in the High School to take the
proper care Of the students. He
pointed out that number Of High
School students had failed and should
go back to the Eighth Grade and that
some action must be taken to take
care Of these students.
That next year would see even
worse conditions due to the fact that
many more students would be coming
in than would be graduated, was the
opinion of DR.. Steel.
, President Brown of the State
Board asked DR.. Steel what the local
outlook was for building a new school.
DR.. Steel in answer stated that he
had been informed by DR.. Joseph H.
, Odell, Director of the Service Citi-
E zens and President Of the Delaware
, School Auxiliary, that from the looks
, of the money market the Delaware
=, School Auxiliary will not be able to
! help the local Board for sometime to
o come.
The president then asked DR.. Steel
if the town had sold bonds, referring
to the school bonds.
6 DR.. Steel replied that the referen-
dunn had been passed but that the
=, bonds had not been sold The doctor
q in continuing said, it was doubtful
if the referendum could again be
. passed unless the people Of Newark
are assured that the Delaware School
Auxiliary assures the town about
S250,O00 if the local people raise
S1500O0. If such proposition as
this can be put before the people, DR..
u Steel said, the referendum will be a
whole lot easier to pass.
e No further discussion Of this phase
: Of the local situation was given but
: DR.. Steel told the State Board that
s the local educators were having 4
: great deal of trouble due to the fact
that = number Of boys graduating
from the High School enter the Uni
versity Of Delaware on their diplomas
when they are not Of college calibre
He said that the boys enter the High
School and start to take the classical
|, course and then find themselves un-
} able to master Latin or some othe,
subject in the course, and then they
1T switch to the Agriculture Course

bridges at Fort Steele and Saratoga
had been under close surveillance and
a sharp lookout was being maintained
on all highways. The first clue to
Browns whereabouts came from Little
Medicine, "A p~ostoffice near the head
of the Little Medicine Bow river, where
the outlaw had purchased some sup
plies, the storekeeper suspicioning that
he was the fugitive and telephoning his
information to the officers.
1t is said the bandit was trying to
get into the mountains in the Box
Elder country, midway between Medi-
cine Bow and Douglas. He had worked
as a sheep hand in that country n num-
Der of years ago and was well ac-
quainted with the country, and had he
reached the mountainous country with
out mishap he might have escaped the
officers permanently.
Rewards a~ggregating So, 700 were Of
fered for Browns arrest and, travel
ing on a stretcher, he has been return
ed to Nebraska to answer to charges of
kidnapping, resisting officers, grand
larceny and some other high crimes.

TETON COUNTY CASE NOW IN
HIGH COURT FOR DECISION
Whether or Not Legislature May I'M
prove Upon the Constitution is
Main Question At Issue.

The case to test the legality of the
organization of Teton county, filed in
the district court some months ago,
has been taken to the state supreme
court for final determination.
The suit involves a number of inter-
esting constitutional questions. The
state constitution provided that no new
county shall be organized unless it has
at least 1,500 bona fide inhabitants and
two million dollars assessment valua-
ton. The 1910 legislature passed a
law raising the requirements t o 5000
population and five million valuation.
The question Is thus presented as to
whether the legislature had the right
to increase the minimums prescribed
by the constitution. 1t it had, the right,
1t Is contended by the plaintiffs. the
new county annot be organized as it is
admitted in the pleadings hat it on
tauns only a little W. 1900 population
and n little over two million valuation.
There are a number of other consti-
tutional questions involved in the suit,
most of them, however, closely related
to the n mentioned. Briefs will be
filed by X. r. Rose, and =. w. Spauld-
ing, attorneys, respectively, for the
plaintiffs and defendants, and it is
likely that the case will be argued in
the supreme court within the text two
weeks and that a decision will be hand
ed down soon thereafter.
The act creating the u~norganized
county of Teton was passed by the last
legislature, the territory involved being
the Jackson's Hole country in the
northern end Of Lincoln county. If the
supreme court sustains the contentious
of the plaintiffs the section mentioned
will remain a part of Lincoln county.
Otherwise it will be organized into a
separate county and will begin its In
dependent existence the first of next
year.

Nash a which lie had stolen in Chey-
enne a few days previously, and when
called upon to surrender he showed
fight, grabbing a couple of guns and
making a break for some rocks, behind
which he planned to fortify himself.
He was fired upon by the officers and
one bullet struck him in the breast,
putting him out of the fight. He was
taken to the penitentiary hospital at

maintenance of great mileage of
country roads in addition will be
necessary. Three hundred to
100000 a year in addition to the
money required for federal aid
needs will be the minimum re-
ouired. As road costs absorb about
90 per cent of our total payments,
il seems quite impossible to bring
about any material reduction in
taxes until radical cut in the
road program is somehow arrang-
ed.
We are strongly of the opinion
that the road program, as we I'M
derstand it, is not conceived pri-
marily from the point Of view of
developing our natural resources
within the state, and that while
tourist travel should be encourag-
ed, that feature of the road pro-
gram should not be so strongly
emphasized.
Agriculture and Health.
A part of our increase in ex-
penditures is due to agricultural
extension and health and santa
ton. The 1922 budgets provide
100000 for agricultural extension
costs and s150,000 for health ac-
tivities. Under proper administra-
ton, these expenditures may per.
haps be justifiable. Here, too, the
results must show efficient SER
vice. 1t is probable that vital sta
tistics will show the value of health
and sanitation work as at present
conducted. However. we have
knowledge. OF considerable ineffi.
cheney due to appointments upor
the basis OF political considera
tons We believe. too, that in the
performance of this function. Their,
is a tendency to overman the de
! partments and to run the expendi
lures over reasonable requirements
There is room for doubt as to tn,
value of Agricultural extension
work in many communities. TIL,

For the past six and a half
years the Taxpayers Association
of New Mexico has been engaged
in the investigation and study of
state and local governmental
costs, and the effect of such cost
upon the burden of taxation
borne, collectively and individual
", by the people of the state.
THE results of these studies have
been given wide publicity, and
the taxpayers generally are be-
ginning to appreciate the neces-
sity for a greater interest in the
administration of public affairs
on their part. If we may state
the general attitude Of taxpayers,
ms we interpret it, it is that I'VE
desire the maximum of govern
mental service at minimum OF
cost, with due consideration OF
the taxpaying ability of the prop
erty owners of the state"
Briefly stated, the problem con
fronting the taxpayer Is that OF
providing the necessary revenues
for the constantly increasing gov
ernmental expenditures. In a six
year period, he has seen the to-
tai cost of state, county, munich
pal and institutional administra'
ton rise from $6,34S,S32.27 II
1915 to SIS, 96S.60 in 1921. He
has seen the total taxes levied or
general property increase from
~, 101E tn 81 z
S31.33 in 1921. He has seen the
spread between the lowest anc
the highest tax rate per $1Ot
grow from s930 per $1,000 tC
$685. in 1915, to a minimum o
S1S.73 and a maximum of SOL
in 1921. The increase in thu
bonded debt of the state and it
various subdivisions from Sc,
100000 in 1915 to $1S,O00,00O il
1921 is also cause for alarm
We have not yet begun to fee
the full effects of bond issues ii
our tax leyies. Interest to tn
amount of nearly $1,000,00 an
nually will be required after au
thorized issues shall have beel
sold. In the course of few
years an equal amount will b,
required annually for paymen
upon the principal.
Governmental Costs.
During the period 1915 to 1872
the assessed value of property il
the state increased from S272,
799,6S2 to S363, 423,96t. This /
an increase of only SO 1-3 pc
cent, while governmental cost
increased nearly $50 per cent an,
tax levies more than $50. Their
was very little increase in popu
lation or any other indication o
increase in wealth except in
few of the more important town
of the state. 1t is this absence
of increased ability to bear tn
ever heavier burden of taxation
which accounts for the presen
anxiety throughout the state.
That New Mexico is not |
wealthy state is fact most fore
IDLY impressed upon us by sta
tistics furnished by the Bureau o
Internal Revenue. In 1919, Ney
