State Issues Seem To
Be of Greatest I'M
portance, Decl ares
Political Writer

SANTA Re. N. NJ. Sept. 1.-fF-
State issues appear to take prece-
dence over national questions In
New Mexico this year.
The state tax question is vieing
with that Of whether there will be
an equal division Of county and
state offices between Anglo and
Spanish Americans. while a contro-
versy is in progress owe whether
Sen. Bronson Cutting. wealthy Santa
Re publisher. is a democrat or a re-
publican.
The main signpost from the view
point Of the national campaign IS
seen IN the fact that New Mexico,
~nominally a republican state, has
a large Spanish-Amerian population,
mostly of the same religious faith
as Gov. Alfred r. Smith. who are
enthusiastically supporting the New
York executive. Neither the pro-
hibition question nor the farm re-
lief controversy seem 10 interest
the state electorate vitality.
Campaign lines usually apparent
through candidates for state Of
fees can rot be drawn yet as non
OF them has been selected. The
central committees Of both parties
have met and chosen Albuquerque
for their respective conventions but
neither has named the date Of ne
convention. Each. apparently, wish
Is the other to nominate its candi-
dates first.
This year. for the fir. time.
Anglo and Spanish-Americans have
been organized as units. The Span
ish-Americans have formed the C.ab
Politico Independence. which claims
10000 members. and committees Of
three republicans and three demo-
Gratis have been appointed to ap-
pear before the convention Of
each party and make a request for
equal representation in offices
The Cutting controversy revolves
around charges that the senator,
who was appointed TO succeed the
late Sen. A. A. Jones by Gov. r.. G..
Dillon. republican. announced in a
public address during the last cam
pai4n that he was a democrat.
James g. McNary. republican state
chairman. has demanded that Cut
ting be forced to state definitely
that he Is n republican" before the
republican party renominates him.
Cuttings newspaper. the New Mex
leo. says that Cutting always has
been independent, supporting TIE
man and not the party.
While the republican party seems
10 have unofficially a pretty good
idea az who its candidates are
likely to be in the coming election.
the democrats appear 10 have a
wealth Of material for nearly every

God from idols IL indeed 'turn-
ing the world upside down." ANY
one who doubts that the gospel
has really turned the world upside
down need only contrast any idol
wo~rshippfng nation with any Christ
ian nation the world over. To this
day the gospel has the same pow
er 10 turn worlds upside down Sc
1ially. lndustrially. r~acially. politi-
cally or internationally. We have
cared TO apply il to human slavery,
and Just now we are wondering Il
we dare apply IL TO the outiawry
of war. In this sense the world
still needs TO be turned upside
down.

long together: the first as the anti

but we must infer that Paul spent
many more weeks there. However.
the record does not leave US to in
fer the character Of his ministry,
for we read that he reasoned
with them from the scriptures,
opening and alleging that it. be-
hooved the Christ to suffer and %

claim unto you. Is the Christ"
There were many other things of

"before and after" are given Us in

which he tells them how. far and
wide. the churches were spreading
abroad the story Of their changed
lives. and "how ye turned u God

revolutionized the lives Of these
people and they got up from before
their dumb idols and turned their

GASOLINE RECEIPTS GROWING
Up to June | an Increase of About
$4,000 Over Last Year Shown

Receipts from the sale of gasoline
in Delaware up to June /, shows an
increase of about $4,000 over the
first five months Of last year. Up to
this time the total receipts from the
three cent tax on gasoline are $247,-
464.86 as compared with S167 ,232.51
for 1927. Last year the receipts for
May when the three cent tax was also
in force was $54, ,232.35 as compared
with '$58,84O.17. AS matter of fact
this does not indicate the real total
for May. One company failed to send
in their report for May in time to be
counted with the months receipts.
This tax was about $4,000 so that
Junes report will show larger in
crease than common because of this
fact. The real increase for May this
year over last would have been $16,-
600 instead Of about $4,000. The wo-

cupation is financially attractive, wo-
men may decide to enter this field
that formerly has ben filled almost
solely by men. The ned for two driv-

necessary every day, officials believe.
Trucks that used to haul merchandise
100 miles each way, now cover from

WILL NOT APPEALON DuPONT'S
RULE TO EXEMPT DIVIDENDS
STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION
WITHDRAWS OPPOSITION
Must Refund $780, 600 and it is Under
stood That the Next Legislature
Will be Asked to Change Law

The State Board Of Education has
decided to abandon its appeal to the
State Tax Board from the dividend
tax ruling made some months ago by
Pierre S. DUPONT, State School Tax
Commissioner. Mr.. dupont had ruled
that dividends paid by a corporation
out Of the current years earnings are
taxable and by inference stated that
dividends paid out Of surplus or earn
ings of a previous year are not tax
able for state purposes. Tax experts
in Mr.. DUPONT Office, it is learned, are
preparing an amendment to the state
corporation tax law which will make
all dividends whether paid out of cur
rent earnings or out Of surplus tax
able. Because of Mr.. duPont's ruling
the state tax Office has received re-
quests for refunds of taxes paid on
dividends in 1927 which were declared
out of surplus or earnings Of 1926, to-
falling about $314,000. It is unlikely,
however, that more than $3.50 will be
refunded. The State Board Of Educa-
tion, it is said, feels that it would be
useless to prosecute the appeal, legal
advice being that under the law as it
now reads the tax board could do
but sustain the State tax Of
flee. Loss of the $25O,O00 in revenues
which would normally 60 to the school
fund, will not bankrupt" that fund it
is said. It is predicted that at the
end of next month there will be sur
plus of $2,500,000 in the school fund.
Of this amount $1,OOO,OO0 has been
leaving a surplus Of ST.
100000. By the end of June, 1929,
there will be surplus in the school
fund of about $1,8OO,OO, it is also pre-
dicted. A large number of taxpayers
