favorable report on H. B. No. 112, relat-
ing to terms of court in the 4th judicial
district, proposing, however, certain
amendments.
Mr.. Severino Martinez filed minority
report adverse to the passage of ID. b.
No. 112, fixing the time of holding court
in the 4th Judicial district.
A majority of the committee on judi
ciary presented an elaborate report favor
able to the passage of H. B. No. 3b, pro-
viding for the consolidation of Dona Ana,
Grant and Sierra counties into one dis
trict for district attorney purposes.
Mr.. Pine, who headed the majority re
port, moved the immediate consideration
of the bill. This was ordered by vote
Of "a to 0.
Mr.. Armijo moved to postpone the bill
indefinitely. Upon this motion heated
discussion ensued.
Mr.. Christy, who, with Mr.. Carr, had
presented a minority report adverse to
the passage of the bill, made forcible
argument as to the effects of the bill. He
said that it's results would be to legislate
out of Office two gentlemen appointed as
district attorneys by the governor, one of
whom had been confirmed and the other
would doubtless be confirmed within a
few days. He knew that the passage of
the bill was not desired by the people
affected and thought that it was simply
an indirect slap at the executive,
method of warfare he could not
approve. Mr.. Christy created small
sensation by the statement that "the
gentlemen whom the bill would legislate
out of Office were good Democrats when
the gentleman who is urging this bill was
feasting on Republican pap"
Mr.. Carr followed in similar remarks
stating that the passage of this bill
would be in direct opposition to the will
of the people of the two districts and
that the motives and purposes back of
the bill should doom it to defeat.
Mr.. Pine replied to the speeches of the
gentlemen preceding him by statement
of the effect of the bill, which he thought
would be economy in the administration
of Justice. He thought that the bill was
we'll considered and we'll timed and should
pass.
Upon Mr.. Armijo's motion to post
pone the bill indefinitely, the vote stood:
Ayes: Armijo, R. A. Baca, V. @. dc
Baca, Carr, Christy, Clancy, Garcia, Hin
kle, Lucsro, Mora, Sanchez, Thompson
