A STEADY aud substantial growth ia

Every day makes it clear that we have
passed our darkest period, and only clehr
sailing in the full light of prosperous
day is ours. Glance all along the line,
and this becomes apparent. The rail
roads, the irrigation enterprises, the
mines (save lead, perhaps the stock rails
ing industry, all are hourishing fairly not
booming, but doing well enough and
growing daily with thrift that makes it
certain that no vast crop OF mortgages
will be harvested. The fnanciers of the
east see this, as do also the newspapers,
and they are beginning to talk about it.
For instance, B. H. Warner, Washing
ton capitalist, has gone home after a
trip to the southwest, and he tells the
Post enough about the coming country to

remarks: "They do wonderful things by

down. Men with a common purpose to

FAIR PLAY, MR., JOSEPH

Our delegate in congress, near the close
Of his speech In favor OF the admission OF
New Mexico as a state, after making a
very excellent representation Of our
claims, proceeds to criticise the constitu-
ton framed 10y the convention last year,
upon the ground that it is partisan in
character. He admits the excellent char
acter of the constitution as whole, and
complains only of the legislative appor-
tionment which it provides. We will
quote briefly from his speech as follows:
If the territory should be admitted as a
state under this constitution, the wishes
of the popular majority would not be ex-
pressed by the legislature which should
he elected under this partisan apporti0n-
ment. My own county of Taos is by a
large proportion in excess of the ad jOining
county t Rio Arriba. The former has Il
| Democratic majority and the latter Re-
! publican. Under the system adopted by
| this constitutional convention the former
county, although greater in population,
has but Two representatives in the lower
! house OF the legislature, while the latter,
in consideration of the politics OF its Cltl-
zens, is given three.
If Mr.. Joseph knew anything of the
facts he must have known when he made
these statements that they were not true.
| Ii he did not know about them it was his
duty to inform himself before speaking
as he did. The only reliable and recent
! figures obtanable rs to the population OF
the various counties are the returns
made to the secretary OF the territory at
the last election of delegate. The total
number of voters registered in Taos
county was 200, and in Rio Arriba
county 3,433. The total vote cast in
Taos was 2,OO7 and in Rio Arriba county
ISL. When the convention of last
year acted on this question these
figures from the secretary's office were
considered, and the apportionment was
made, as nearly as practicable, by a
mathematical calculation on the basis OF
| 800 voters to a representative, as will be
seen by reference to the table printed
! below.
Number of voters registered in the coun-
ties OF New Mexico as SHOWN by the re-
turns on file in the office of the secretary
Of the territory, and number ofrepresent-
atives apportioned by the constitution OF

Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1890-04-15
Total

No Democrat in New Mexico, where
the matter IS well understood, has ever
raised his voice to find any fault with this
pportionment; but Mr.. Joseph, in Wash
ngton, may think that his inaccurate
statements can pass unchallenged.
Mr.. Joseph goes on further to say:
The trainers Of this constitution knew
so well that it could not receive the az
probation OF a majority of the voters OF
the territory that they made no provision
IN it nor has the legislature since made
any provision for its submission to the
| people.
When they reflect on the fact that there
has not been, and conld not have BEEN
any session OF the legislature since the
time of the convention, our readers will
agree that the latter clause Of this state
ment is as cheeky" as the first part OF it
is false. The trainers of the constitution
did provide in it that it should be sub
mitted to a vote OF the people at the next
general election in November, unless
congress should provide for an earlier
submission. This was done on account OF
the doubt which existed in the minds OF
many people as to whether congress would
do anything for us even if the constitution
were adopted by the people. So wide
spread has been that feeling that large
proportion OF our voters would take but
little interest in the matter, unless we
had some favorable expression of opinion
from congress. This, We are now conf
dent of obtaining, and the course pursued
by the convention appears all the more
wise and judicious. Congress has so per-
ignored New Mexico, not only as
to statehood, but as to almost everything
we have asked for, that it is not surprising
that our people have become discouraged
and skeptica as to our getting recognition |
from Washington. However, the pros |
poets are Frightening. In the mean time,
let US have fair play, Mr. Joseph.

DISPATCHES from WASHINGTON to various
newspapers contain a ridiculous state
ment thai congress may pass a bill to adj
nit New Mexico, which will include an
apportonment OF the legislative districts
OF The new state on partisan Republican
basis, and that Delegate Joseph's bill
provides that the delegates to the cons'i-
tutional convention shall be elected on
the basis Of the present territorial appor-
tionment. Both OF these statements mus t
be equally false. No bill was ever passed
by congress for the admission Of a state
which undertook to gerrymander the
legislative districts, and no congressman
would ever think OF doing such thing.
So far as known here no objection has
been raised to the apportionment pro-
vided by the recent constitutional con-
vention, nor is there likely TO be, for it is
fair and just to all parties, and has been
30 proclaimed time and again by all good
citizens.
