IS THERE WASTE?
Too often criticism of public,
expenditures is in general terms
and concrete instances are not
forthcoming when such critic
ism is challenged, says the Tax
payers' Association bulletin. The
creat amount of waste alises
from the failure to

The Southwest is to come to

HAVE YOUR COWS TESTED
It is their belief that circum
stances are such, at present, that
all that is needed to bring a
great wave of colonists to this
part of the country is competent
and thorough advertising. The
country is just coming out of a
period of business depression,
which indicates a time for immi
gration to the less settled and
cheaper lands. Experience has
proven this. There was a great
tide of settlers to the land of the
Northwest following the panic of
1908.
It seems only obvious that the
currence. Kansas cannot ai
ford to raise forty cent com- on
four hundred dollar land, or at
personal or political friends, the time is ripe for another such oc-
state thereby losing the advan
tage of the short rates,.
The county officers salary
law should be amended so as to
promote efficiency in the collec
tion of revenue. The suggestion
ta wnA a fVi q "Ka oqIq mf o Vinillo

be adjusted every year instead
of every four years, according to
the assessed valuation of the
pminv fnr tVio rrprwrlin(r vpar.
The salary so adjusted, however, its,p"??osf ? the Iner"
would be paid only according to national .Wheat and Farm Pro-
t.hp Tivfiiifitirao'e of taxes collected. Apusiuun
It is seldom that the people
of a county or t state get a
chance to get something done
for nothing. However the peor
pie of this county and the whole
state for that matter are offered
this very thing by the 'Govern
ment Bureau of Animal Industry
and the State Cattle Sanitary
Board. T,hese good organiza
tions are offering to test all of
the dairy herds and all of the
perpetual purebred breeding her
ds in the state for tuberculosis
free of charge to the owners.
A number of people, who have
registered herds have asked that
that this work be done in this
county. And if all of the people
least, do not prefer to. The na- of Harding County do not avail
tural thing for them to do is to themselves of this opportunity,
seek cheaper, but equally pro
ductive farm property.
The Omaha Land Show, held
in 1908, was very instrumental
in bringing the people to the
Northwest States. In fact that
71 is would induce efforts to get
property upon the tax rolls, but
only to the extent that taxes
could legally be collected thereon.
More than sixty thousand dol
lars was spent during the la&t
year for expenses and salaries
in assessors' offices, thé large
part of which brought no re
turns to the state. In Torance
County, however, with an e x
penditure of $2,000, the assessor
increased the valuation by ten
per cent, and the number of tax
schedules from 4,200 to 5,800.
If one county can spend money
for administration and get re
sults, why not all ? All that we
need is will. There is certainly
intelligence enough to find the
way.
WILL TRADE
Irrigated farms for good sized
tracts of grazing land. What ha
ve you?
R. E. Alldredge, ,
Roy, N. Mex.
has been con
ceived with the same idea to
bring farmers to its tributary
territory.
There will be exhibits of the
characteristic crops of this sec
tion of the country. And the
distinctive methods of agricul
ture that are needed to raise
these crops successfully will be
exhibited. The most convinc
ing exhibit possible will show
every phase ot Southwestern
Agriculture, w hat it is and what
it shall be.
Mr. W. H. McCarger and C.
Floyd Morris left last Tuesday
with, a fine exhibit which they
have arranged to put on at this
Exposition to advertise this sec
tion of New Mexicó. They
have secured as fine line of
farm products as can be found
anywhere, and expect to canture
several prizes at the big Expo
Rumor has-it that the Repub
lican County Convention will be
held within the next two weeks.
it shows that they are very lax
and behind the times.
. How many, are supplying their
babies and families milk from tu
bercular cows, or else are ship
ping the milk or cream of such
cows to be fed to other peoples
children. Some people will say
that they do not want any veter
inarian testing their cows' and
maybe condeming some of their
best cows. Do you think that
these people look at the matter
in the right light? Isn't it a
fact that people of this kind
should not only have their cows
taken away from them; but
should be chasen from the coun
t y as undersirable citizens,
Think of a person that wants to
feed milk from tubercular cows
to little children
Some of the other counties of
the state are in the tubercular
free district or area as it is call
ed. Why not make this county
free or if not. the whole county
lets sjart by cleaning up half of
it. It costs nothing to get the
work done and if the cow is con
demed she is appraised and paid
for at good beef rates. So what
have you to loose? And look
what might be your gain.

Making 20 Years of Racing
verve tar Owners Joday
IN the early days of automobile
contests, Barney , Oldfield out
to win every race studied tires.
His consistent success led other
drivers to ask for tires constructed
to his specifications.
Twenty years of road and track
victories with a steady and increas
ing demand for tires as he built them
convinced Barney Oldfield that
these speed tests pointed the way to
a better tire for everyday use.
The enthusiastic reception of Old
field Cords by the public proved he
was right. Scores of the most
prominent dealers in the country
and many thousands of car owners,
experienced in the use of tires bear
witness by their decided preference
that Oldfield is doing a bigger and
better job of tire making.
This volume, handled in an effec
tive way in every phase of manufac
ture and distribution, has resulted
in price quotations far below what
you'd expect on tires known to be
better built and more enduring.
Practically every important race
event for three years has been won
on Oldfields. The Wichita Test Run
in which an entire set of Oldfield
Cords covered 34,525 miles on rough
roads proves the mettle of the Most
Trustworthy Tires Built in every
day driving.
The Master Driver and Tire
Builder has given the public a hew
standard of tire wear and tire cost
a true economy that every car owner
should know about.
Your Oldfield dealer has these
facts talk to him.

PRESIDENT WILL VETO
BONUS AND CONGRESS
GETTING READY TO RE
PASS BILL FOR SOLDIERS
President Harding has defin
itely decided to veto the soldier's
bonus bill and will send his mes
sage, to the house Tuesday, ac
cording to some of his close ad
vises who have recently talked
with him.
The soldiers' bonus bill was
signed by speaker Gillett at 2
30 o'clock Saturday.
Friends Make Canvass.
Some of the president's friends
were understood to be making
an informal canvass in the sen
ate in the hope of counting enou
gh votes to prevent the overrid
ing of the veto there. The re
sult now was regarded as doubt
ful with some friends and foes
alike declaring there could not
be a definite estimate in advance
of the actual roll call. ,.
The number of senators
absent when' the vote comes
may decide the issue, altho
it was said that every effort
would be made to obtain .
pais for all absentees, includ
ing those senators in Europe
who were not Pared in the
vote August 31, when the
senate passed the bilL 47 to
22.
House managers of the bonus
are understood to be prepared to
move promptly after receipts of
a veto message to repass the bill
and were confident that no more
than the required two-third ma
jority could be obtained.
