SHALL THE STATE HELPf
A Leaf From North Carolina History,
accompanied By a Suggest5o to the LegiS-
aturc That Loans be Nude By
the State on Land.

HENDERSON, N. c.. Dec. %, $780,
Now that the Republican Senatorial
caucus has decided upon their bill for
financial relief, it is apparent the
scheme is devised chiefly to help the
national banks in the financial centres
of the country, and on those who
have I'm ted States bonds or gold or
silver bullion can avail themselves of
the privilege, contained in the bill.
Until there is cleo ed a Democratic
Congress and President, we cannot
hope for any financial legislation that
will help the agricultural portions of
the country. The present Congress
will not pass Senator Stanford's bill
to issue greenbacks to be loaned to
the farmers, o will it make the
coinage of silver free.
The inquiry here arises a the
several States afford the necessary
relief by their individual action. For
instance, would it be constitutional
for the incoming Legislature of North
Carolina to pass an act to issue, say,
five or ten million of 4 per cent. bonds,
the proceeds of which, to be loaned to
the people of the several counties on
unlncumbered real. estate at Al per
cent. interest, for a period of ff Teen
years. Not more than ST., 900 to be
loaned to any one person. Conceding
the Legislature has more power, would
it be a good thing to do2 We may
form some idea as to this from a
study of the results of just such legis-
lation upon the people of this State
when a colony of Great Britain. 1t
may surprise some to be told that in
1927, the General Assembly of North
Carolina, as q relief to the pc Sple
suffering from a scarcity of money
passed an act providing for the issue
of $500, 10000 in bills which were to
be legal tender for debt, and were to
be loaned to the farmers OF The several
countries prec ncts) Tor a period of Is
years, at 81 per cent. interest. This
interest and one, fifteenth of the prin
cipal was payable each year. The
county trea surer was authorized to
lend on unincumbered farms to one
half their value. If the interest was
not promptly paid, he had the right
TO dlstrain upon any personal property
of the debtor he could find. If the
interest was not paid for three con
secutive years, the county treasurer
was then to re enter and take posses
sion and sell the land on thirty days
notice.
1t will still more surprise some to
be told, that the above scheme, open
to so many objections, and presenting
So many difficulties; in other words,
apparently 81 visionary, met with
complete success. 1t was so beneficial
to the people of North Carolina, that
it was substantially adopted in Penn
sylvania, Massachusetts,, Rhode Island
and South Carolina; and the plan was
recommended to the Governor OF
Massachusetts,, to the mother country
Tor introduction in all the colonies.
Ii would Q out simple justice, that,
as the National Banking law denies tc

HE DEMoCRACY,s GREAI fINANCIERs.

True it is, that the butchery methods
of the majority in house of the
the Goth legislative assembly is
solely responsible for the legis-
lation which will result in deficiency of
at least $3.50, 900 in the appropriations for
the current year. Those having claims
against the territorial treasury and will
have to wait couple Of years for at least
one-half of the money due them, will find
some food for reflection in this matter.
There were ample funds in the treasury
to pay off the original deficiency of $685.
900 and it would have been good business
policy to utilize the same for this purpose,
but the great tinanciers that represented
the Democratic party in the lower house
would not listen to such a suggestion,
and they created so-called deficiency
fund" which has proven veritable Quag-
mire as far as making political history for
themselves is concerned. Now their
friends and supporters are called upon to
swallow the pill that these great tinanciers
Of the Democratic party has prepared for
them. It isn't sugar coated pill, either,
as the majority Of the ex-members of that
house will find out before another
campaign closes in New Mexico.

CALIFORNIA; ENERGY.

California is truly a wonderful state,
peopled by a wonderful set of men. They
have enterprise and faith and hence Cali
fornia is leader in which all the west may
take just pride. What would the fruit
industry in the west be to-day but for
California? Again, what has she not &C.
complished in the line of irrigation enter
prises? As Califarnia has led the way in
these things so are her people now in the
van with the cultivation Of the sugar
beet. 1t doesn't take California long to
adapt herself to new methods as the sue
cess attending the cultivation of the sugar
beet clearly shows. Only a couple of
years ago this project was undertaken
there, yet this year the sugar manufactured
from some 1000 acres of beets will yield
a revenue of about quarter OF million
dollars. We, in New Mexico, can we'll
afford to take courage from CALIFORNIA;
success; can safely follow in her foot
steps,

Col. Dreyforth, Of the agricultural de-

making machine. He brings forty bal
oons and will manufacture his explosive
material on the ground and set it off by
means Of tiny electric wire attached to
the ascending balloon. The first expert
ments are to be made in Haskell county,
Kansas, and an Emporla paper ventures
the remark that it is probably dry enough
in Haskell to enable the experimenters to
do their work without danger of lynching.

THE census bureau has startled the
whole state of Pennsylvania by the an
nounCement that it has been succeeded as
the leader in the production of iron ore.
For the past few years the south has
been making rapid strides in the iron
business, and last year the output Of the
state of Alabama exceeded that OF the
state of Pennsylvania by a handsome
margin. Ten years ago Alabama stood
seventh in the list of iron-producing
states, and the output Of the state Of
Pennsylvania was twelve times as large
as that of its southern competitor.

e. PAsO,s PROPOSED CONVENTION.

If Ell Paso is wise that proposed railway
convention will be again postponed until
the early fall. AS matters now stand
there is no particular occasion for rushing
this work, besides the hot weather pre-.
valent there in July and August will deter
many from attendance. The idea of post
poning the meeting comes from Denver,
and it is good one. In the fall, say
September 20, the VESTS great crops will
have been harvested, all things will be in
better shape, no doubt as respects tinan-
cial matters, and there is likely to prevail
a spirit of enthusiasm that will be sadly
lacking should an attempt be made to
hurry along the project under the present
condition of things. Then let Ell Paso
adopt the other suggestion that comes
from Denver, and that is, not to confine
It's aims exclusively to the White Oaks
Las Vegas and Trinidad scheme, but in
vite Albuquerque and Santa Fe and Ger
rillos also to cooperate with them t. the
end that the convention shall seek also to
secure the extension of the D. & r. G..
system south from Santa Fe to Cerrillos,
Albuquerque and Ell Paso. There is good
sense in this suggestion in fact, it is
known that the D. & r. G. intends even
tuaIly to occupy the field between Santa
Fe, Albuquerque and Ell Paso, and even
now is considering projects looking to
such a move. If postponed till date
when Denver, Trinidad, Las Vegas, Al
buquerque, Cerrillos and Santa Fe delega-
tons may find it convenient and comfor-
table to visit Ell Paso We believe the con-
ventlon proposed would have great weight
in stimulating not only this but other i'm
portant railway enterprises.
