to pay for the feeding of the prisoners
that are detained in the jails awaiting
trial, and this condition must remain
until the taxes are collected and paid
into the treasury by the taxpayers. You
can, therefore, see how absolutely neces-
sary it ia, unless we desire that the courts
stand still for six months, that the county
officials should 90 without their pay and
the prisoners In our jails be turned loose
for want of means to feed them, that the
taxes be collected at once.
The effort of this act, which I herewith
return unapprovsd, would be to Delay for
six months the collection of this much
needed fund. During this time the COZ
dition of the county affairs must remain
as they are; our criminals remain untried,
and all the machinery of Justice at Il
stand still.
can not believe that it was the inten-
tion of your honorable body to bring
about this condition of affairs, thus doing
a great injury to the people you repre-
sent; but rather that the act was passed
by you without full knowledge Of Its
effect.
Again, under the law, it is the duty of
the collectors to advertise the delinq uent
taxes GU or before the 1st day of March
Of each year. By this proposed act, the
taxes would not become due until the
July following, and, therefore, there would
be no law in existence by which the col
lectors could force the collection of the
delinquent taxes until March in the fol-
lowing year.
call your attention to the very serious
defects in this bill hoping and believing
that after due consideration you will not
allow it to become law. Respectfully,
w. I. THORNTON,
Governor of New Mexico.
