IMPROVE THE RAILWAY MAIL SERVICE.

The provision in the postoffice appro
priation bill, giving the postmaster gen
eral discretion over the expenditure of
the $3,200,000 proposed for the mainten-
ance of railroad postal service, occa-
stoned spirited discussion in the senate
the other day. Senator Vest and other
Democratic senators warmly chnmpioned
the provision, while, for reasons of a
manifestly partisan nature, it was gener-
ally opposed by Republicans.
Senator Vest went so far as to say that
the opposition to the provision was
merely another instance of the manner in
which the railroads sought to shape legis-
lation aimed to regulate their traffic in
the interest of the people. For his part
he favored government ownership of pos
tai cars Just the same as government
ownership of postofices.
The debate disclosed some interesting
and instructive facts. It was shown by
official figures prepared by the railway
postal bureau that the railroads were al
present operating 740 postal cars; that
the total cash investment in the same, al
$4,000 per car, was $2,590,000; that the
annual cost of maintaining them would
not exceed 1922, 1850; yet that the govern
ment was annually paying the railroads
enough for the use of these cars to buy
them outright and maintain them.
Without undertaking to enter into {
discussion of the merits of this question
it is certainly very apparent that, how
ever costly it may be, the railway posta
service of the country is not nearly az
efficient and satisfactory as it should be,
and any action by congress tending to
improve the same will be greeted will
sincere applause by the people. 1t ha
been manifest for several years that tn
somebody was receiving more than thei
just proportion of the money annually
appropriated for the maintenance of thil
service; that consequently too few posta
CLERKS were employed and their remunera
ton inadequate for the hard and exact
ing work required of them and, if giving
the postmaster-general discretion ovel
the expending of the appropriation Of
the outright purchase of the cars by the
government would correct the evil, the
New MEXICAN heartily says amen.

An effort is being made to get bill
passed increasing the commission of col
lectors on taxes to 5per cent. The bill
is simply one to legislate money into the
pockets of the collectors of the territory.
When these officers we're elected last fall
they knew very we'll what the law pro-
vided as their compensation for the col
lection of taxes. If they did not consider
the amount provided by law sufficient to
pay for the collection of taxes, they
might have refused nomination to the
office, or having been nominated, might
have refused to run. Instead of this they
used every effort to get elected and now
they are trying to get an increase il pay.
Perhaps it might be we'll to pension the
Office seekers for life or better still for
the property owners and taxpayers of
the territory to turn over their property
to the collectors in fee simple.
The last legislature cut down the fees
of officials so that there was some hope
that the counties would eventually be
able to pay up their indebtedness, but if
this legislature is to undo the good work
which was done by the last legislature, in
this respect, the property owners might
as we'll give up their property and move
out of New Mexico.
In county like this there is not
enough work in the collectors Office to
keep man busy more than half of the
time. Under the law now in effect the
income from this Office would be some
where from $1,000 to $1,S00a year which,
in these times, is ample remuneration for
the service performed.
| To increase this salary to about $1,000
a year is simply robbing the taxpayers
and bill to this effect ought not to be
entertained for moment by the legisla.
tors. Five dollars day ought to be a
sufficient remuneration for man whose
duties do not keep him employed half OF
the time.

of reform in the municipal management
of the Quaker City is even more glaring
and urgent than it ever was in New
York.
In 1887 the expenditures of the city
of Philadelphia aggregated $l7,63S,3oo,
and in 1S94-just seven years later--they
reached the colossal sum of $32, 100000!
Yet it does not appear that any unusual
or costly public Improvements we're
made that year, nor has anyone been
able to assign satisfactory reason or a
legitimate occasion for this incredible
expenditure of public money.
No question is entertained by thinking
people that it was due to the most rascally
and shameless system of extravaganza
and protligacy that has disgraced an
American city since the palmy days OF
the robber Tweed ring in New York
Recent disclosures of mismanagement
and corruption in the municipal affairs
of the latter city, however gross and un.
blushing, pale into comparative inslg,

Gratis earnestly supported the late reform
movement in New York and they fur

A GOOD START,

The legislative house yesterday after
noon passed the bill repeating chapter II
of the laws of 1891, and chapter 1913 of the
laws of 1889, except 80 far as the same
apply to the election of mayordomos.
The practical effect of this action is that
justices of the peace and constables shall
be in tho future elected at the general
county election in the fall instead of at a
special election in January. It'll a move
in the right direction. One of the exist
ing troubles in New Mexico Is that there
are too many election days and the cam-
paigns are usually 80 long drawn out that
the people are kept in perpetual turmoil

The eyes of many capitalists are
turned in the direction pf New Mexico,
and as a result many millions of dollars
will shortly be brought into the territory

day destined to take rank among the

Union.-San Juan Index.
