in New Mexico l have been informed
that provisions of the laws of the United
States fully cover the object of that bill,
and that the secretary of the interior has
power to enforce that law, and that the
Smithsonian institute at Washington takes
special interest in bringing violations of
S,i1 .kol kn&o

unanimous consent to withdraw H. B. No.

desire to call your attention to the
fact that only a few days ago joint
resolution passed the legislative assem-
bly,, and promptly received executive ap-
proval, providing for the payment of the
salaries of the various employees of the
house and council, and that soon after
the passage thereof a writ of injunction
INCOMING the territorial treasurer and
auditor from paying said employees, which
said injunction was based OH provision
of the Organic act limiting the authority
of your honorable body, and declaring
that it had no power to pass any laws for
this purpose. This injunction has been
made final, and is now in full force, so
that there is a decision of coordinate
branch of the government, acting within
the line of its duty, holding that the leg

power to enact laws for this purpose. 1t

judged that it has no right to do. Recog-

upon the employees who have served the
territory being thus deprived of pay for
their services, which wrong I would, in
view of the past, gladly right if in my
power, also recognize the duty of Civ
ing full force and effect to the decisions
of each of the coordinate branches of
the government. The welfare of society,
