The Fee system.

The Legislature is evidently giving at
tention to Gov. Princes recommends
tons in relation to the unreasonable and
excessive incomes of county officers,
especially the sheriffs. There is no de-
sire to do any one injustice in this re-
gard but the people and the tax payers
believe that it ought not to be possible
for any officer to acquire an independent
fortune in one or two terms. The aver
age business man spends life time in
amassing the money that sheriff can
acquire in the course of one or two terms
in representative county in New Mex
leo. This has led to gross corruption
and bribery of voters and lowered their
estimate of the Importance of that great
est American privilege-the elective
franchise. The Republican does not
believe that any change should be given
immediate effect, but in one or two years.
The change should be made, however,
and we trust that majority of its advo-
Gates in the legislature are thoroughly in
earnest in the matter; the people and tax
payers certainly are.-Rio Grande Repub-

COAL OIL LEGISLATION,

DURING the session of the Goth legisla-
tive assembly a bill providing for the APP
pointment of coal oil inspector and de-
lining the duties of such official was killed
by manipulations of monopolistic oil
company. A bill of similar import should
be prepared, introduced and passed and
the7people should be protected against
the encroachment of these gigantic mono
poles. The worst kind of truck Is at
times dumped into New Mexico and sold
as coal oil. The neighboring common
wealths have coal oil inspectors and any
oil that is condemned by them very
naturally finds its way into New Mexico
and is palmed off on our people. Pass
law to put stop to that business.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.

The amended bill which Senator Sher-
man has reported favorably in congress
and by which the U. S. government is
authorized to assume control of the
Nicaragua canal is entirely different from
the original measure on this subject in
PRODUCED in 1891. The new bill throws
around the governments relations with
the new canal such complete safeguards
that no patriotic citizen can object to it.
The people of the United States and not
the stockholders of the Canal company
are asking that the government secure
control of this enterprise. The company
has expended $6,0OO,00O already and is
able to complete the work, but there are
many good reasons why control OF the
great enterprise should not fall into
foreign hands. The new bill provides
that the president of the United States or
his proxy shall vote $sO,5O0,0OO of the
$1OO,OOO,OOO capital stock, and in return
for granting the government this privi-
lege the company asks that the United
States government guarantee per cent
interest per annum on the capital stock.
This would be $3,OOO,OO0, and as security
for this guarantee the government holds
and controls four-ffths of the capital
stock. That this canal, reducing as it
does the distance from New Orleans and
San Francisco, 1900 miles over the Pana-
ma route, will prove financial success,
no one questions.
The coast wise trade of the United
States can not be less than 100000 tons
passing annually through tho canal.
At 81 per ton, which is $3.50 per ton less
than is charged by the Suez canal, the
Nicaragua canal would earn 100000,
of which $3,OOO,OO0 is sufficient to meet
the interest of the bonds guaranteed by
the government. like amount for
operation and repair leaves 100000 for
a sinking fund to pay off the bonds.
