ABSOLUTELY PURE
ABSOLUTELY PURE

The territorial legislature now
in session at Santa Fe seems to
be working along nicely and with
out any quarreling or petty quib-
bling, thus far. 1t is to be hoped
that they will have the interests
of the people and taxpayers at
heart and legislate for the benefit
of the entire territory.
We find the following in the
minutes of the doings of the
board of county commissioners
of Socorro county for January 40,
1897. Moved by w. w. Jones,
that the county printing be given
to H. H. Howard, of San MarciaI
Bee. They are to publish all pro-
ceedings for the board of county
commissioner and legal notices.
and to publish the delinquent tax
lists for one hundred dollars per
year, and to furnish bond in the
sum of three hundred dollars.
The district court adjourned
Tuesday last after one of the most
successful terms that has ever
been held in this county. The
last case was that of the Territory
against Riley on the charge of
murder. The jury brought in a
verdict of murder in the second
degree, and the judge on the rec
ommendation of the jury gave
him three years in the peniten-
tiary. We think Riley got off
very cheaply and can we'll thank
hi stars for the facts are that a
very large number of our people,
and among them some Of the
best people in Soeorro county
who heard all of the evidence,
think that the jury should have
brought in a verdict of murder in
the first degree and that Riley
should have been hanged. His
honor Judge Hamilton has cleaned
up the docket so that hereafter it
will be very little trouble to keep
up with the business in this
county.
The chieftain., 1897-01-29
Not False Economy, but Justice.

Economy should be the watch
word of the hour, but false econ
omy would be worse than ex-
travagance. This is a respectful,
but earnest, recommendation (as
they say in petitions to office) to
the 32d legislative assembly,
New Mexican.
There is no false economy in
wiping out the board of immigra-
tion and its attendant expenses.
In cutting down the district
clerks fees to fifteen hundred dol
lars.
In wiping out the road super
visors,and stopping that steal.
In repeating the salaries of the
county commissioners and paying
them FIVE dollars per day.
In consolidating the treasurers
Office with that of the collector
and wiping out the salary of the
treasurer.
In putting the duties of the
school superintendent into the
hands of the county judge paying
him FIVE dollars per day for thirty
days per year and wiping out the
salary of both school superintend4
ent and probate judge.
In curtailing the fees of the
sheriff's Office.
And In fact getting rid of lot
OF expensive, useless officials.
Nor is there any false economy
in wiPing out one half of the
different boards of officials that
control our various territorial in
stitutions.

Our Deputy Assessor.


On Tuesday last Mr.. William
Smith, deputy assessor of Socorro
county, came from the Mogollons
to assume the duties of his Office.
Mrs. Smith will follow in a month
or as soon as Mr.. Smith can
arrange a house. Mr.. Smith is no
stranger to the people in this part
OF Socorro county. He is a
brother-in-law of Joe Stoneking
of Kelly and for years made Kelly
his home, being employed by
Patterson Bros. in their store for
over six years. On leaving there
about four years ago he went to
the Mogollons and took position
with Max ShultE in his large mer-
camille establishment, and he
now comes back among his old
acquaintance to fill the respon-
sible position of deputy county
assessor under Assessor c. Baca.
Mr.. Smith Is perfect gentleman
honest and upright and counts
his friends in these parts by hun
dreds. Assessor Baca is to be
congratulated on the selection
he has made for an assistant.

The territory of New Mexico at
this time and considering the
state of it's finances can not under
take the cost of any new internal
improvements. The Legislative
assembly should make haste
slowly, very slowly in such mat

1t is more than likely, that Gov.

tion.-New Mexican.
