money, stocks and shares in COM
panies, in fact, on any and every possible
kind Of property.
This limitation is found in all the newer
constitutions and is approved by the best
ilnanciers and ablest statesmen of the
present day. In some states the lmita-
ton is greater, in some it is less, that is
the legislature can not tax as much as
per cent in some, and in others it can
levy higher tax.
Section 4 OF the same article is being
specially objected to by some Albuquer-
que liquor dealers and is being used with
merchants and others on the very spe-
cious and false plea that merchants,
liquor dealers and saloon keepers could be
taxed at a higher rate by specific taxes
than other citizens. The section says !:
The legislature shall have power to levy
taxes upon particular articles and upon
occupations which shall be uniform as to
the class of persons and property upon
which they operate
This is plain language and means that
the legislature can provide for licenses
and particular taxes, upon merchants,
upon saloon keepers, upon liquor dealers,
upon peddlers and any and all occupa-
tons, and is just the power that the legis-
lature of this territory and of every state in
the union has had and has to-day. Since
1850 the legislature of New Mexico has
levied these special taxes on certain trades
and professions and certain articles for
instance at the request of the cattle own
ers OF New Mexico, specific tax for spe-
citic purposes was laid on cattle few
years ago and is in force to-day. Licenses
have been in force ever since the crea-
ton of this territory; these are the spe-
cial taxes and specific taxes, that
are meant by the above section.
1t would not matter an iota, whether or
not this section appeared in the constitu-
ton; the legislature of the state would
have the power anyhow and it could not
be restrained by the constitution, except
in very general way.
The arguments of the anti-statehood
and reactionary element against these two
sections of the constitution are based upon
prevarication or ignorance and wiful mis-
understanding, and nothing else. This is
plain upon Its lace, and decent and good
citizens will not be bamboozled by such
open and barefaced frauds. as are the OBJ
jections made against the two sections
quoted

ANOTHER ONE NAILED,

| The address to the voters OF New Mex
leo, issued by Mr.. w. B. Childers, chair
man OF the Democratic executive commit
tee, says that al attempt was made in the
last legislature to fund the militia claims
We do moi like to use harsh language
about our friend, Mr.. Chlders, but really
and soberly he ought to post himself
somewhat better upon public affairs in
New Mexico. He knows, that in his
position ignorance is no excuse. 1t may
have been ignorance and it may have
been worse be that as it may, it is certain
that no such attempt, as he speaks OF,
was made.
There was bill introduced to provide
for the prosecution and collection of such
claims from the United States, and there
was another to provide for an investigation
as to the Legality of such alleged claims,
both of which failed. But there never
was hint at funding them, nor sug-
gestion of desire or intent on the part OF
any one to recognize such claim as valid
or in any way to improve their existing
status. No member of the legislature
ever contemplated any legislation which
would commit the territory to anything
on the subject. Indeed, with so much
distrust was the matter regarded, that the
two bills referred to, in themselves proper
enough, had no chance of passing.
Mr.. Childers makes the statement to
emphasize his unjust and unmanly at
tack OIL some members of the constitution.
al convention that they were busily
engaged in protecting their interests
when the constitution was formed.
He says There militia claims are
left open to recognition" What
would he have had? Will he pretend
that the convention should have investi-
gated and passed on the validity of these
or any other claims, and embodied the
result in the constitution? He knows
that such course would have been alb
surd, and he would have been among the
foremost to denounce it as such. All that
he wants is to find fault, something so
easy to do at all times that he forgets
himself and makes dreadful exhibition
of young man of natural ability, gone
completely DAFT on politics. In his frantic
efforts to gain some little fancied adj
vantage for his political party, he appears
willing to sacrifice everything, truth, fair
ness, the reputation of his fellow citizens
and the best interests of New Mexico.
For, after all, What is the trouble with
him and his political associates, who have
control of the machinery Of the Demo-
cratic party? Everybody who has given
the matter thought knows that their
real and only grievance is that the con-
stitution is not one OF their making, and
they are ready to dertroy everything than
admit that there is any good in anything
of which they have not been the authors.

In looking to the future and what it has

In looking to the future and what it has
in store for the laboring classes, one can
scarcely take a hopeful view of the
situation because honest labor Is too busy
getting rich, going beyond the grade Of
laborer and deserving the ranks, while
the agitator, the trickster and the dema-
gogue is left to push himself to the front
- "a labor leader" OF all the so-Caled
leaders Of the laboring classes this country
has produced, Arthur, of the locomotive
engineers, stands out as the safest, most
earnest and therefore the most successful,
but as rule organized labor has been
most unfortunate in its selection of
leaders,

THE first principal objection the anti
statehood Democratic executive commit
tee claims to have against the adoption
OF the constitution is the section, that
provides that the governor and other
state officers shall be suspended, if i'm
peached and until after trial. As only
Just tblrty-one states out of forty-four in
the Union contain the salf-same provis-
ion, it is plain that the statesmen of the
country by large majority believe the
provision to be good and wholesome
one. But of course, as the few bosses
who now control the Democratic machine
and are using this power against the best
interests and advancement of the people
Of New Mexico, disapprove OF that provis-
ion for no other earthly reason, than to
arouse prejudice, and because they be-
lieve that the people of New Mexico are
unfit for state government, forsooth, the
constitutions of the thirty-one states
named are bad and defective and should
never have beeen adopted. 1t strikes
average observers, that nevertheless. it
was a mighty good thing for the thirty-one
states in question, that they did not have
gang of self-constituted and corrupt
politicians like the men now controlling
the Democratic committee and opposing
statehood making their constitutions.

ADvIcEs from Magdalena, Kingston,
Hillsboro, Cooks Peak, Pinos Altos, So
zorro, the Organs and Cerrillos, in fact
from every camp in New Mexico, where
silver-lead ores are produced, state that
never before has there been such activity
in the mining industry in those camps.
The outlook is simply splendid. What
had the Democratic party to do with
thus raising the New Mexico miner up out
Of the slough of despond and placing him
once more upon his feet? Possibly some
of the anti-state soreheads will undertake
to explain this matter while visiting the
miners of those camps and pleading with
them 10 oppose the constitution and vote
for supremacy of few selfish politicians.

THE ANTl-STATERO0D COMMITTEE
THROUGH ITS CREATURES, VIC
LATES The LAW,

We call attention to the following com
munication, sent US irresponsible parties
from Mora county:
at has just come to light that the board
OF county commissioners Of Mora county
advised thereto by a member OF the
Democratic executive committee), have
openly and defantly violated the law in
using the ballot boxes just sent out by
them to the several precincts by filling
these sell same ballot boxes with printed
circulars, directed against the constitution
and sending only ballots printed against
the constitution" in The self same
boxes, to be used in the com.
ing election. Addresses and circulars
abusing prominent and good citizens and
containing most fearful lies and ISLANDERS
have been sent out with and in these
ballot boxes. How is this for fair play :
The law expressly prohibits the use of
ballot boxes for any such purpose.
1t behooves all good citizens, Republi-
cans as well as Democrats, to take the
matter up and have these faithless off e.
Gals prosecuted
We have complete and full testimony
to prove what We say in the above.
Please give this the fullest publicity
That's the sort Of business the Demo-
cratic executive committe, that hates
the people OF New Mexico and
therefore fights the state
hood movement, is engaged in, and by
such mean, detestable and lawless actions
does it propose to win now if the honest
and good citizens in New Mexico regard
less Of politics, can uphold and support
such practices, well and good let it be
known at the coming election; they
will hurt themselves as much as any one
else by approving the falsehood, ISLANDERS,
dirty and corrupt tricks and lawless ac-
tons used by the Democratic anti-state-
hood committee in its fight against the
constitution, against statehood and the
good name, fair fame and progress and
of New Mexico for none but
the low est personal and political reasons.

more afford to turn fruit tree dealer

trail and executive committee, Mr.. Chill
ders, of Albuquerque. The governor,
who is one of the most brilliant, best in

country, so to speak, wiped the floor with
tho aforesaid chairman, and the latter
found out that there was good deal Of
difference between a joint discussion and
writing editorials for the Albuquerque

the people and against statehood. Mr.
Childers went away "a sadder and wiser
man" we hope, for his own sake.

THIS MATTER OF TAXATION IN THE CON
STITUTI0N,

The anti-statehood soreheads are max
ing great ado about the following pro-
visions of the constitution:
Article 8, sec. 3. ''The legislature shall
not levy in any one year higher rate of
taxation than per cent on the value of
THE TAXABLE PROPERTY WITHIN THE STATE,
except to repel invasion or suppress in
surrection."
This is a limitation upon the power of
the legislature to levy taxes, more than l
per cent, except when the state is in dan
ger, from armed enemies, within or with
out, on all kinds of property, lands, cattle,
sheep, Improvements, houses, railroad,
implements, merchandise, machinery,
