nation"
The Bursum bill IS. 3s55-"To ascertain and
settle claims of persons not Indian within Pueblo
indian land, land grants and reservations in the
state of New Mexico") was passed by the senate
practically without debate and without a record
vote. Later. upon motion of Senator Borah, n res
olution was adopted Withdrawing the bill from the
consideration of the house. The bill was then
re-referred to the public lands and surveys com
mittee of the senate.
Secretary Fall wrote a letter of more than
5000 words to Senator Borah, complaining of the
"clamor" against the bill, explaining and upholdlng
the bill and offering to any congressional commit
tee all the information in the possession of the
Interior department.
Senator Borah read the letter into the Congress
sional Record and also his reply, which is short
and contains this matter;
"f you viii read the Congressional Record M
the time the bill passed, you viii find that I asked
certain questions in regard to the purpose and
effect of the bill. Senator Bursum replied to these
questions. and ! felt satisfied. upon an examlna.

because I had felt the effect OF propaganda brt
because / felt quite sure that the bill had nof been

out of the opposition to the Bursnm bin was
organized the New Mexico Association on Indian
Afnirs. This association. In conjunction with tbe
Indian welfare committee of the General Federo.

conclusions are. these:

THE BUILDING SITUATION.

| The money value of building and
construction in 1922 was the largest
recorded in the building industry
Of the country. The value of new
contracts awarded since January.
1928, was larger than January of
either of the two preceding years;
and predictions are freely made
that the volume of building in
1928 on a valuation basis will ex-
coed even the high record of 1922.
Whether or not these expectations
will be realized depends on building
costs. They are already high and
the prices of building materials and
wages are rising. Under these con-
ditions, there is always the posi-
bility that as a result of high costs,
those who r using their own funds
will prefer to delay building and
that construction dependent upon
borrowed money will be hampered
by the unwillingness of leaders to
accept current levels as a proper
basis for long-term loans with the
conequent restriction of such loans
to as low a percentage of construc-
ton costs as will make it difficult
for owners to finance their under
takings.
The building labor situation Is
similar to that of building materials.
There is a shortage of labor, both
skilled and unskliled. This is the
combined result of the competition
of industry and the restriction of
immigration. The resultant short
age of skilled labor, combined with
effective organization, has made
for monopoly wages. While wage
scales in the building trades have
been cut in most cities, wages paid
of supply and demand and they are
now probably as high as they were
at the peak of prices in 1920.
With stable prices and reasonable
wages, a true shortage of building
materials and of building labor
would be almost certain, but rising
prices and wages will operate to
prevent the development of this
condition. As building costs mount.
they will reach a point at which
builders of small means cannot
meet them.
Last year building construc-
ton took 10 per cent of the steel
produced in this country, being
second in its requirements only to
the railroads. The manufacture
of cement is the fourth industry in
the consumption of coal. During
1922 forest products made up z per
cent. of total freight ear loadings,
a larger proportion than grain, live
stock or ore. There are two and a
half million persons engaged direct
ly in the building industries, be.
sides large numbers occupied in
dustries directly dependent upor
them. It is probable that n tenth
of the total population of the coun.
try is dependent directly or indi,
rectly upon the building industrie:
for support.

THE SoUkREST CITY
STAND THE INCONVENIENCE

In order to keep within the ap-
preparations allowed it by congress,
the p~ostoffice department will find
it necessary to curtail mail deliv-
cries in some of the cities from now
until the end of the fiscal year,
June 80. This is due to the. fact
that the appropriations made for
city carriers for the current year
are proving insufficient in view of
the tremendous increase over pre-
vious years, in the volume of mail.
OF course this could not be fore
cen The estimates submitted and
the appropriations made were upon
the basis of past business.
To handle this increase with the
same expedition that has marked
the delivery of mail in the populous
centers when the volume was small
r the number of deliveries a day
must be maintained, the number of
carriers must be increased and con-
siderable overtime must be per-
mitted. If this were done to the
end of the fiscal year the p~ostoffice
department would exceed its legal
appropriations by many millions
and create a deficit for the next
congress to take care of. This
would be a violation Of the law.
1t would also be n violation Of the
spirit of the budget system. There
fore, from now until the %appropria-
tons for the fiscal year beginning
July /, next become available, the
department will handle the mail
deliveries in cities as promptly as
possible with the carrier force that
may be maintained upon the funds
available.
The determination of the depart
ment to obey the law and also to OBJ
serve strictly the principles of the
budget will serve as a test of the
sincerity of the demand of the pub
lie and particularly of the business
interests in the larger cities for
rigid economy in the management
of the government.
Inconsistent attitudes are being
manifested by some individuals and
interests in some of the cities which
will be affected by the decision of
the department. Individuals and
interests which were red hot for
reduction of federal taxes and clam
orous in their insistence that all
expenses of the federal government
be cut to the bone, now that the
program of sane economy results
in some slight Inconvenience to
them are %squealing like a pig un-
der a gate, denouncing the parsi-
mony and lack Of business methods
Of the department.
Running true to form, those in
0terests and individuals are exhibit
ing their utter ~selfishness. They
want the government run wholly to
tplease and serve them. They want
. their taxes reduced, but they don't
want any curtailment Of what the
government has been doing for
sthem. They want public economv-

WHAT ABOUT cooLrpoE7

Internationally the demand ap-
pears for Calvin Coolidge for a sec
ond term as vice president. It is
unlikely that the modest, unpreten-
tious man can bring much political
pressure, for though n persistent
party worker from Northampton
days when he frankly asked citizens
to vote for him for local offices.
national command does not go with
this type.
If he is given the second place
again it will be because "the old
ticket" will make an easily remem-
bered slogan and call for few ex-
plantations. Doubtless many voted
in 1920 for the hero of the police
strike as they would again in 1924
with the thought that if President
Harding should fail under the bur
den, MI. Coolidge would be a safe
and bring a quality of
which there is a dearth among can
didates-firmness. The vice presi-
dent has made an excellent presiding
officer of the senate, excelling in
the art of keeping himself in the
background, which is not n barn
storming quality but does favorably
impress the on-lookers, in this case
the whole American people. The
only other thing n vice presidnt a
do is to max speeches and this the
man does admirably for those who
prefer to sound and fury. The
elements that resent his famous ac-
ton in Boston will do what they can
do to sidctrack the vice president
but at present writing he appears to
be a party asset of high marketable
ity.
