A LITTLE MORE HISTORY.'
Another bit of the history of the work of the last legislature is of inter
est Just at the present time, when the tax matter is attracting the general
attention of the press and public.
On the 25th day of February, last,
rl in t lie house with the following title:
1 act to provide for assistants, clerk and stenographer, in the office
raveling auditor and bank examiner, and to provide compensation and
,g expenses therefor."
course, the object of this bill was to increase the efficiency of the ser
vice of the office of the traveling auditor. The Increase in the efficiency here
would result in the gathering of data regarding this very question which we
are so greatly interested in at the present time and which we are brought
face to face with by the action of the board of equalization.
This bill introduced by the speaker did not get very far, but as far as
might have been expected under the circumstances.
It was referred lo the finance committee, James W. Chaves.-chairman,
and there it died.
We can look back on the record of the legislature and in each instance
where a bill was introduced providing for some system whereby more effec
tive methods could be adopted for the collection or the equalization of taxes,
tuich legislation was speedily and effectually killed.
It was not wanted by the bosses. They were satisfied with things as they
already were. They did not want the quiet and peaceable condition, wherein
all their affairs were satisfactorily guarded, disturbed. The other fellow
was carrying the burden and that was easy for the boss.
Now that these questions are being forced upon our attention by the
condition that was sure to come, we see the utter inefficiency of the last
legislature and realize the influences that controlled it and we are reaping
the harvest of selfishness and mercenary greed.
This is a lesson which the citizens of this state cannot afford to let pass
unheeded. They can profit by it. at the next election if they will, by selecting
men for their loyalty, ability and regard for the interests of the people ol
the state, rather than because they wear a certain political collar and are
the henchmen of a certain few bosses who have so long controlled the af
fairs of this state.

" There is a thing worthy of study and emulation in the matter which Is
brought out in the manner in which this sale is being noticed in all parts of
the country.
Not all sections of New Mexico would attract the attention that is
called to the Mimbres Valley. No part of the state is better known. It Is
because the men of that particular section have stood together, In season
and out of season, and boosted with all their might and iu unison and with
out bickering and jealousy, for the benefit of their own special corner ot
the state.
They realized that the success of the valley would bring a proportionate
measure to each individual and no one expected all there was of the pros
perity and the profit It was a partnership between aJl the residents of the
.Mimbres Valley. That is the only spirit that will bring success to any com-
"""iTnity of action in the effort to bring more people who will add to the
wealth ot the city and the county is the only winning play.
Here, in the county of Santa Fe, we could offer inducemtnts that would
draw hither a large population if we would take up the question of the irri
gation of some of these lands adjacent to us and put them in shape to be
profitably farmed. a
A few years ago the valley of the Mimbres did not look as it does today.
It looked as hopeless as does any country that is wholly undeveloped and
unoccupied. Today there is no place on the continent that is more attractive
or that promises greater things.
It was united, untiring, consistent, intelligent effort that made the change,
and the same can be done here in the county of Santa Fe.
It is all up to the citizens themselves.

A Beautiful Spot.
I am glad that Uncle Sam is at last
to recognize the work of Superintend
ent Van Xuyveuheim and will give to
the national cemetery the attention
that it so richly merits.
The lodge is to have telephone con
nection, is to be lighted with elec
tricity, the floors are to be replaced
with native pine and maple and a bath
room is to be installed. The con
gratulations of all the people of Santa
Fe are extended the superintendent
and his wife over this attention which
the government has at last consented
to bestow.
To look at the national cemetery
now and compare it with the one we
were forced to see before Captain Van
iVuyvenheim came here as superin
tendent one can scarcely believe it is
the same place. He has well earned
the additional comforts which Uncle
Sam has promised. The approach to
this beautiful and sacred spot is still
disgraceful and ought to be given at
tention, but the moment the vision
reaches the point which is government

Then one enters the cemetery.
The
gate is now a work of art. It is to
tally changed In appearance from
what it was in the days before the
present superintendent took charge.
But within the gate is seen the great
est improvements. The grounds are
clean and beautiful. The grass, once
uncut and uncared for, Is now green
and even as a carpet and all the walks
are carefully trimmed. I do not think
that there is a national cemetery in
the United States that is in better con
dition and presents a more beautiful
appearance at the present time, than
this one at Santa Fe. Of course, there
are larger ones, but for loveliness and
real beauty, none surpass this little
cemetery sacred to the soldier dead.
It is the intention of Captain Van
Nuyvenheim, if they can be secured,
to plant 75 trees about the place, which
will add greatly to the attractiveness.
I have also heard it intimated a move
ment will soon be inaugurated to en
large the grounds, taking in the un
improved land above the present ceme
tery, and that the whole will be sur
rounded by a stone wall.
Eggs Up.
Among the general shortages that
are complained of in the world of eats.
I notice eggs. The price of this al
most necessary article of diet and of
cooking is "coming up," and we do not
know where we are going to land if
the soaring keep on. Fresh eggs are
going to a luxury and It looks like
the cold storage proposition again.
The wholesalers are saying that
the hen Is not doing her duty. The
poor hen has to take the brunt of it
all and yet she has been a pretty
steady friend to humanity from the
time she was first known. It must be
acknowledged that she Is not over

There Isn't anything better than the
bake and the fry and the fricassee and
the broil that she makes, and the eggs
she lays are worth any man's coin,
even when they do get up into the al
titude, for there is nothing quite like
the new laid egg for eating purposes
or to stir into one of those joyous
concoctions which the Missus knows
so well how to put together.
I do not see why more people do
not go into the business of raising
chickens, anyway. The demand for
eggs Is eternal and never ceasing and
there is always a claim of a shortage.
Now. they say they are going to im

ac ustomed to wear corsets, it might
make the reduced waist a little easier
for him. You only have to eat seven
large boiled potatoes In a day and
keep It up for eight days. At the
noon lunch you eat five large spuds,
boiled with the skins on and then you
don't eat any more till 5 o'clock when
you eat two more. You can not have
any sugar, nor any coffee, and soup Is
off the menu, but you can get away
with all the fruit that the stomach will
hold, and It must be fruit that is au
natural.
If I were the one to undertake this
kind of lay out or have a big waist 1
would take the waist, but there are
different points of view and there are
many, I doubt not, who would eat ac
cording to the above schedule rather
than have redundancy at the waist

NIXOLA GREELEY SMITH DISCUSSES THE
EXTRAORDINARY NEW PLAY, "THE

produced at the Lyric theatre in New
York, with Tyrone Power and Emily
Stevens in the leading roles.
The play is a dramatic version of
Francois Coppee's novel, "The Guilty
Man," adapted to the special purposes
of a cniBade which the Sociological
Fund of The Medical Review of Re
views has undertaken to forward.
This crusade has two objects: the
first, the introduction of a bill in the
senate and assembly of the state of
New York which shall authorize an
unmarried mother of previous chaste
character" to fix by judicial action the
paternity of her child and by so doing
confer upon it all the rights and priv
ileges of legitimacy, Including the
name of the father and the right to
support by him; the second under

with it the legalization of prenatal In
fanticide, now classed as a "criminal
operation." In other words, it seeks
to constitute the members of the med
ical profession a privileged class, with
the power of life and death over the
nation.

which the Sociological Fund of The
Medical Review of Reviews has under
taken has no part In the novel of "The

! a thought in her mind of prenatal In
fanticide. She accepts the fact that
she is to become a mother without
protest, while In the play she is made
to plead with a physician to destroy
her child.
"The Guilty Man" tells the story of
