FEES n

Ehho y oAAAhiLos
There is now very little reason
to doubt the passage of a bill at
the coming session Of the legisla-
ture which will generally revise
the laws now in effect in regard
TO the payment Of Territorial,
County and precinct officers. Most
of the laws now in force were
passed when warrants we're at a
large discount and officers and
others who received them we're
obliged to take much less than
their face value. Prior to the
time Of the passage of the refund
ing law of 1889 warrants Of this
County were as low rs GO cents on
the dollar. Then the sheriff Of
this county received rs cents a day
for each prisoner in the county
Jail, or an equivalent Of 40 cents
in cash, for board. Now warrants
are at par and the sheriff receives
IS cents in cash for the same SER
vice. All other officers of the
County and the precincts in the
county have benefited in the
same way since warrants have
been worth their face value.
II county officers found the
Offices remunerative when warrants
were at 40 per cent. discount the
same offices would be as remuner-
alive if the fees and salaries were
reduced 40 per cent. and the war
rants could be cashed at their face
value. This would be about a
fair reduction, taking the county
offices all together but some would
stand a larger reduction while
others could be reduced but little.
The reductions are coming and
the only question upon which
there will be any controversy in
the Legislature this winter, in ref.
erence to the fee system, will be
as to whether the new law should
go into effect Immediately or upor
the expiration of the terms of the
officers now elected and who viii
qualify next month. The soone.
the new law can be put into effec

Territory. The people of thii
County cannot afford to pay
sheriff twice the annual salarl
received by the governor of tn,

require a very brilliant mind t.

IT is evident that the poll tax
law caused quite falling off in
the vote Of this Territory this year.
This falling off may be attributed
partly to the fact that the law re-
quires the payment of poll tax at
least go days prior 10 the general
election, and at hat time, there
was very little interest being taken
in politics in this Territory. Many
who would have paid the poll tax
later in order to have qualified
themselves to vote neglected the
matter and were unable TO vote.
If the law had permitted the pay
ment Of poll tax as late as the
last day of registration there would
have been very few voters in the
Territory who would have neg
lected to pay their poll tax and
the candidates for Office on one
side or the other would have paid
up the delinquent taxes. The poll
tax is quite an item for the school
fund and the Law ought not to be
repealed. II should be amended
80 that the poll tax could be paid
at any time prior to ten days be-
fore any general election. Such a
law would disiranchise nobody
and would put more than $4,000
into the school fund Of the various
counties Of New Mexico.

THERE 1 a growing sentiment
in this Territory in favor of max
ing the treasurers of the various
counties, in the Territory the col
lectors of taxes. The sheriff of
each county is now ex-oficio col
lector and gets five per cent. of all
taxes collected by himself. This
commission amounts, in this Coun-
ty to about five thousand dollars a
year which in itself is a pretty
good salary for a county officer.
The treasurer might be made col
lector and be given a salary equal
to about 60 per cent. of the com
missions now allowed to the sher-
ifs Of the various counties fol-
collecting taxes. This would re.
suit in quite a saying to the coun-
ties and the treasurers would be
well paid for their services.

THERE are half a million dollars in
old militia w~arrants, or more, out
standing which the holders would
like to have funded. Some of
these warrants may be all right,
but there is no doubt but that
nine-tenths of them are fraudu-
lent They have been purchased
by the present holders for a few
cents on the dollar and they can
afford to pay a hundred thousand
dollars or 80 in order TO get a law
passed funding them. The at
tempt to get such a law passed
has been made more than once
but something has always hap
pened to defeat the passage of
the bill.

Fifty years ago Switzerland passed through

the United States are now enduring, Bank
issues of money at usurious rates of interest
had impoverished the people. They were
mortgaged heavily, and there was pros
pect that the usurers would soon take the
lands in settlement of the mortgages. The
patriotism of Stempfi suggested remedy.
A government bank was established. The
public credit was printed or these notes,
and these notes loaned to the farmers on

cent interest, the borrower to pay one.

Cranks.

Mr.. EDITOR The species of the genus
homo denominated cranks are seemingly
growing more numerous now than in times
past, when educational advantages were
confined to couple of months yearly, be-
tween the ages of seven and sixteen years,
with teacher often below mediocrity in
ability, either man from Erin's green isle,
who never spared the rod when be deemed
its use benefit to his pupils, or farmers
son who had been sent out into the world to
put in the winter season teaching and return
in time for the spring work. Among the
kind Of cranks to be found in most commu-
mites the religious and political cranks are
the most numerous. The former belong to
both sexes and imagine that they are
specially called to appear when religious
services are to be conducted, whether hidden
or not. Especially is this the case at fun
erals, taking up the time Of those called to
conduct the religious services, and belong
ing to the same religious sect with the
family of the deceased. A wise man has
said there is" time and a place for all
things, which il would be we'll for the re.
ligious crank to bear in mind when moi
invited to speak.
The political crank is one who thinks
his party is right and the country will go tc
ruin if the other party succeeds in electine
their man. Abraham Lincoln, it is said
was more troubled with political crank
than any other of our Presidents, who cam,
hundreds of miles to proffer their advice OF
tall kinds Of political measures TO put dowr
the rebellion. This kind Of crank used t.
be confined to the male sex, but, whel
female suffrage becomes universal, tn
female political crank will come to the from
no doubt. GEORGE.
I IA little learning is dangerous thing
the poet has said, and our correspondent
appears to attribute the "crank" nuisance +

The %, 394 business failures in the Unit
ed States last year-an increase of 100
over 1890 are not so much an indication of
exceptional stringency in the money market
as of the tendency toward concentration in

eating up The smaller ones, and, whether
the times are good or bad, it is becoming
increasingly difficult for the small trader or
manufacturer to exist. Production and dis
tribution are getting into fewer hands, and
