| the range ana ulG; JnerG was mourning Dut
this action of the sanitary board to be
taken. AS to what the gentleman says
about his proylso, we all know that
such proviso would kill the appropria-
ton"
Mr. Read: "Do you know any fund in
the territory that has any money!"
Mr. Hinkle: Il would ask you do you
know any other industry that voluntarily
taxes themselves!'
Mr.. Read: mo, SIR"
Mr.. Lady: "This appropriation is rath-
er large but this is not the fault of the
cattlemen: and think every fair minded
man will favor this bill"
Speaker Branch: (Mr. Read in the
chair) Il will endeavor to show that this
measure should not have been presented.
1t has been compared to the rights grow
ing out of the destruction of the capitol.
The bonds of 100000 voted for the
building of the capitol was just debt.
If some villianous hand destroyed the
fruit of those bonds there is no reason
that they should not be paid"
Mr.. Barela called the gentleman from
Mora to order as he was misquoting his
remarks; and some irrelevant discussion
ensued between the two.
Mr.. Branch: 81 have no fault to find
with this board for raising $4,000 to pro-
tect their interests; had they raised $780,
900 they would only be doing their duty,
but when they ask us to go into our
pockets and repay this then this is
wrong. Now there is law compelling
us sheep men to dip our sheep in order
to prevent scab, but we have to pay for
it ourselves and there is no use in one
coming to the territory to pay it for us.
If they wish to pay this debt 1 will help
them to levy a special tax on their cattle.
I have no prejudice against the cattle
men because I am one in a small way
myself but | will never help n corpora
ton to tax tho people. This class of
special legislation 1 am opposed to.
Now tho cattlemen have an inspector un-
der the law, and the sheep men have no
objection, but they do object to pay
the expenses that belong not to their bust
ness"
Mr.. Barea: 81 spoke first on this sub
ject with my head clear, but since my
learned friond from Bernalillo with his
eye glasses perched on his classic brow
has cast furtive chances at me and said
that we, the cowboys, are asking HIM for
$4,000, and my friend from Mora has
given us speech of blood and thunder
on sheep dip, corporations and special
legislation, my head is not so clear. But
| say now we are not here as mendicants
humbly bending the knee for favor. We
only ask for Justice and that the territory
pay us the money it owes us. My friend
from Mora says he pays for his sheep dip
I 4 ll1 tln,, l,,, hn,,
an inspector furnished by law l say not
cent comes out of his pocket to help
the cattle inspector. They pay taxes
on their cattle for every purpose the
sheep men pay; and they also pay to keep
up this cattle indemnity fund. The gen
tleman from Santa Fe says he wants to
be entirely fair and therefore he offers
his amendment. If he is sincere in his
remarks about impartiality, why does he
wish to place us again in this same posi-
ton. Ii we pay this back the cattle in
demnity fund will be without cent next
year and the quarantine law will have to
be repealed or remain dead letter. If
you wish to repeal it do so. But remem-
Der that you throw this territory open to
Texas and every state that wishes to in
feet US with disease and contagion. /
now move that the amendment offered by
the gentleman from Santa Fe be re-
jectd."
On this Mr.. Mr.. Hinkle moved the
