bv imposing such unjust and Oppressive |
taxes?
Ifthese questions can he answered in
the aHirm8tiye-U there is any such dan
ger to he apprehended-th the argu-
ment resolves itself into an attack on the
fitness Of the people for self-goyernment.
No constitution can be found which will
prevent 81 worthless and degraded CON
stituency from eIectng corrupt and I'M
s,rupuous men to the legislature or
which can prevent such men from enact
ing vicious laws. The enemies of state
hood dare not follow their argument to
this logical conclusion, for our people and
our legislators are not to be so feared.
The people will not Cypress themselves.
Suppose the clause in question had
been omitted from the constiuton-th
power Of the legislature would have been
lust as great. There is hardly legisla-
ture, if any, IN the United States which
does not have as ample powers on this
subject. and vet where is there state in
which any attempt to levy such taxes as
are imagined by the nti-statehood men,
has ever been successfully made?
1t is at least matter of doubt what
ever the construction given to this
clause by its critics The legislature
is prohibited from levying higher rate
of taxation than l per centum on the
value of taxable property within the
state. While taxes upon particular articles
may be levied, vet they must not exceed

ANOTHER PARTICULAR LIE BY THE
STATEHOOD OPPONENTS.


We must again call attention to the
notorious address to the voters OF New
Mexico, issued by the chairman and sec
rotary OF the Democratic central commit
tee for another illustration of the deceit to
which the enemies OF New Mexico are
compelled to resort in their attempts to
cast discrelit on the constitution We
quote:
These are a few OF the many objec-
tons to this constitution which present
themselves. 1t contains prolific promises
OF an educational system, but these
provisions are not self operative, and the
legislature must act first. Many of the
members of this convention voted against
suCh system at the last session OF the
Legislature, and it is hard to place conf
dence in so sudden change OF heart on
the important subject OF free public
schools"
This particular lie as to the action Of
the last Legislature, has been frequently
repeated during the last year and a half
in the columns Of portion of the terri
torial press, and has been refuted again
and again.
1t is not decent or honorable to again
parade it as is being done by the men who
have grasped the control of the Demo-
cratic party, and whose course is not at
all representative of the general senti-
ment OF their party. Their idea, OF
course, is to create the impression that
our state legislature would do nothing in
the direction OF making effective the
school provisions in the constitution be-
cause the territorial legislature has done
nothing in favor OF public schools,
We have not space to reproduce the
school laws of New Mexico, enacted from
time to time by different legislatures,
which show the liberal spirit which has
always actuated our legislators on this
subject, but we will say that an ex-
animation of those statutes will convince
every fair minded person that ample ma
chinery and power has been provided for
the establishment and maintenance oil pub
lie schools. Legislation can do no more.
At the last legislature a school bill was
introduced, which failed to pass. 1t
failed because it was hastily and crudely
drawn, and in its operation would GER
tainly have disappointed its most ardent
supporters, who were without experience
in the making OF laws. No vote against
that bill can be fairly construed as a
vote against public schools. 1t was
merely a vote against that particular
measure. From the construction placed
upon the action OF the legislature by the
obstructionists and moss-backs-actlon
which they do not truly state-we appea

as shown in the statute books OF the

STATEHOOD SENTIMENTS.
An Honest and Patriotic Democrat.


Hon. l.. s. Trimble, of Albuquerque,
gave his views on the pending state con
stitution at Santa Fe one day last week.
Mr.. T. is a Democrat but is in favor OF
the adoption OF the constitution and for
New Mexico being made state. Among
other things he said The cup of my
ambition will be full when san see New
Mexico prosperous and happy under the
constitution" 1t is relief to know that
there is at least one in the Democratic
ranks who is not afraid to support the
constitution and statehood. Folsom Met
ropOltan.
The Anti Campaign of Lies
The anti-statehood Democrats are cir
Culating what purports to be the constitu-
ton OF New Mexico, in which the clause
relating to taxation for school purposes
reads, there shall be levied tax not
exceeding 2ls mills on the dollar" when
tue correct reading is not less than 2is
mills.-Springes Stockman.
A Wise Move.
The Republicans of Santa Fe county
have done right in postponing the making
OF county nominations until after the
election to be held in New Mexico upon
the adoption OF state constitution.
Their purpose in this is to make tho con-
test over the constitution as non partisan
as possible. They wish the issue OF state
hood to be presented to the people of the
territory as one which is greater than Or
binary party issues, and in this they are
right. 1t is the greatest and most i'm
portant issue that could be presented to
the people OF New Mexico at this stage CT
their history as distinct community.
But we fear that the constitution will be
defeated. If it shall be defeated the result
will be due chiefly to Democratic opposi-
ton. This opposition ought to 80 brand
the Democratic party with condemnation
that, after New Mexico becomes state,
| the Democracy would be excluded from
state government during the life of this
generation. Denver Republican.
Another Frog "Busted."
Hons. Neil B. Field and H. B. Fergu-
son yesterday addressed large concourse
Of Democrats at Springer, n. NJ Their

selves publicly and unalterably against

The Democrats grapevine must have
got twisted in some manner. Hon. N. B.
Field had meeting here Monday night.
His audience was not above forty in num-
Der. There was no "deafening applause
except when the chairman and secretary
were announced. Many Republicans did
not pronounce. 1t was fair representa-
ton of Democratic mossbacks, with q

ocrats who went to hear what objections

THE TAX LIMITATION IN THE CON
STITUTION,


1t is strongly insisted by the enemies
OF statehood that the provisions OF article
NJ of the constitution giving the legisla-
ture power to levy taxes upon particular
articles, are very dangerous and that the
legislature will hereunder impose I'M
reasonable and excessive taxes on "cattle,
horses, sheep, burros, buggies, wagons,
plows, etc" The absurdity of this will
be seen at once when We reflect that for
forty years we have had legislatures in
New Mexico without any limit whatever
on their power to impose taxes, and yet
we have never suffered from any such
iniuuity as we are now told is certainly
in store for us under the constitution.
Are we to so suddenly deteriorate that
We will, under state government, i'm
mediately elect legislature worse than
any we have ever had before? Or if not
worse, with more courage in eyil-doing
than any OF its predecessors Is it to be
believed that any political party will ever
dare to arouse the wrath of the people

DECENT and honest Democrats in this
county assert, that the nominations OF
their party are mostly bad, and the tax
payers and property owners can not al
ford to vote and put the gang ticket,
that is composed to great extent OF
men, who are either not tax payers, or
who are mere politicians or have been
tried in official positions and have been
found wanting, and that badly, back
into the power. They are correct. Such
course would simply be ruinous to the
property owners and tax payers. They
can not afford it.

Mr.. CH1LDkRs, as chairman OF the
Democratic central committee, in his adj
dress to the voters OF New Mexico, COM
plains with great bitterness that the con-
stitution limits the power OF the state to
incur debt to the amount OF 100000
The mere statement of the fact OF such a
complaint carries refutation with it,
Surely Mr.. Childers cherishes some deIu-
sive hope that he will control the state
government, and any limitation upon his
power to plunge into debt is abhorent to
him. What? Not run in debt? Have
no opportunity of divvies and jobs in the
sale of bonds? No chance to spend large
sums OF borrowed money in ways which
will advance our political ambition?
Perish the thought Never will we con-
sent to the establishment OF that sort OF a
state government.

FORESTRY GAINING GROUND.

A company of capitalists have pur-
chased 160,0 900 acres of Adirondack lands
and offer the tract for sale in shares of
81 900 each, these shares carrying the
perpetual right to fish and hunt ON this
tract and also emitting each holder to
two acres the border of some one of
its lakes for a cottagessite' TheC company
proposes to further care for the financial
success of the undertaking, by gradually
removing the mature timber and selling
it. This it will do under the direction of
experienced foresters as is done in the
great forests of Europe. On this subject
the company says:
Expert wOodsmen employed to exam
inc and report on the subject, have re-
ported that of spruce, pine, cherry, hem
lock, ash, beech and maple, not less than
2, 900 feet per acre of understandable tim
Der could be removed and sold each year,
to the joint profit of shareholders, with
out the least detriment to the forest,
game or water supply, or disturbance OF
the smaller growth of rapidly growing
trees. The yearly advancing price OF
lumber will, in short time, certainly
double the value of the membership GER
tificates.
This is the proper treatment of oul
forest lands and one that we are happy
to see is receiving due consideration in
many quarters.

Several Vermont editors-reinforce

engaged in diverting Vermont capital
into Southern city boom channels.
The last Legislature created commits
sion to repopulate deserted Vermont
farms, and Commissioner Valentine has
a good start toward doing it. Money is
flowing out of Vermont in streams to
build canvas cities in the South and
West, and by legislative enactment the
State creates a commission to remedy
the result of such folly. Dollars are
being sent out of the State where cents
are being brought in, and the present
outlook is not altogether encouraging.
Keep sending out the money and bring

ultimate result of this system?-HGrd-

pies interests would be in sympathetic

Vermont is not the poor barren state
that some distant papers have called it,
and is not filling up her farms with for
eigners to any alarming extent The
number of native born Vermonters in
the State was never so large as to-day
and the proportion of foreigners is not
increasing Watch the 1890 census re-
ports and see. The money that has
built many cities in the West and South
was made in Vermont, and no doubt
many more will be built with Vermont
money. We think, however, that more
Vermont money will be invested in the
State for the next five years than during
the past, which will certainly advance
the interests of the State. Good author
tiles say Vermont farming lands are
now valued 10 per cent. higher than one
wear AGO.
