INCORPORATION MATTERS.
Some Timely Suggestions as to the Bust
ness Policy the Capital City
Should Pursue.
Oongratulatory Messages From the
Press and People-Notss by
the WAY Side,

To the Editor of the New Mexican.
SANTA FE, June S.-Incorporation has
been with me from the beginning simply
business proposition. There is no place
in it for politics, or prejudice, or senti-
ment OF any kind. Whether it will be
benefit or an injury to Santa Fe depends
entirely upon how it is carried out. AS
bad or incompetent management would
ruin any business, so it will ruin this
public business. Incorporation Is a
power which can do evil as we'll as do
good. My idea is that we should be very
conservative and not attempt too much.
We should also do business on a strictly
cash basis. If we must loose money at
first, let it be by paying interest on money
and not discount on work. That the
ordinances should be as few as possible.
In short, that We should conduct the city
business as prudently and carefully as a
sensible man conducts his own business.
To carry out these ideas We must
have our very best men. How can we
obtain them? This has been harmo-
NOUS citizens movement from the begin
ming; why can not it continue so to the
end? We must be united in the support
of our new city government to strengthen
their hands. If We make a party issue
the outs will be fighting the ms. We
must try to avoid this. We are about to
undertake great public work that is
particularly important. What is more
certain than that politics has moth
ing to do with it? We must.have COM
petent board of directors. In the very
nature of things our best men for this
business are not all in one party. Let us
lay aside all anmosities and prejudces
and pull together like men to build up our
rising city. SAMUEL b. AxTELL.

SOUTH COUNTRY COMMENT.
Santa Fe has taken long stride in the
direction of progress and self-redemption.
The question of city incorporation, voted
on last Tuesday by the people of that
city, was carried by 700 majority. Thus
the oldest city in the United States has
decided to put on the garments of ad-
vanced Americanism and ''join the pro-
cesslon." Santa Fe has the most beauti-
full summer climate and looks out
out and up on the grsndest mountains
and plains on earth, and this last con-
clusion of her people was all that was
needed to place her abreast of the most
advanced cities OF the territory as an at
tractive point for immigration and invest
ment.-Deming Headlight.
INCORPORATION CRUMBS.
How would ]. w. Schofeld strike you
for city CLERK?
Martin Quintana wouldn't make bad
alderman.
s. D. LASER is already making an active
canvass for the office of city clerk.
If any man talks politics in connection
with city ticket spot him on the shoot
The first mayor of Santa Fe should be
one OF two men. Geo. w. Knaebel or G.
+. A. Fischer.-Cerrillos Rustler.
Even the handful OF deluded mortsls
who tried to block it now wear a smile
and say they are glad the movement car
ried.
While it is becoming for all of the pro-
gressive Santa Feans to rejoice over the
result of the vote for incorporation Of that
town, it is also becoming for the rest Of
New Mexico to rejoice with them. The
vote stood 700 for incorporation to l02
against. Folsom Metropolitan.
