The TARIFF DISCUSSION,

The prediction which appeared in these
columns sometime since to the effect that
the Dingley bill would encounter violent
opposition in the senate, is amply con-
tirmed by late reports from the seat of
government, from those who have an OPP
portunity Of being made AGO uainted with
the situation as it is. Judge Morrison
for example, who has been in Washington
since the day of Mr.. McKinley's Inaugural
ton, and who has eonversed with sew.
eral senators on this sub eet, feels con
vinced that the measure will come upon
hard days when it reaches the upper
house of congress.
Many people who heartily favor this
| bill take a dark view as to its treatment
in the senate. One of its staunchest
advocates said quite recently that in his
opinion it would leave this body amended
out of all semblance to its original form,
and looking so much like the Wilson bill
that it would require strong magnify.
ing glass to detect the difference. On the
other hand opinion from men high in the
councils of the party, declare that while
there is strong opposition, making a
warm contest certain, yet there can be no
douot of it's ultimate passage In such
form as will ensure to the country the re-
lief promised, and the reforms necessary
to conduct the business of the govern.
ment upon cash basis. The delay in
passing this bill is bonanza for the i'm
porters who are taking advantage of the
situation to fill the warehouses with
goods against the time when the pro-
posed tariff law shall go into effect. The
government will be thereby defrauded of
a very large sum, and how it happens
that a provision to defeat this scheme on
the part of the importers was not enact.
ed as proposed is what nobody under
| stands, outside of select few at head
| quarters. As the most important item
on the list, it was proposed to protect
wool and wooden goods by a special en-
actment, which should do duty until the
regular tariff bill could be put through
This would have defeated the ely game OF
the importers, on one important article
of importation at least, and why this pro.
gram was not carried out as made up in
committee is certainly strange.

OF BENEFIT TO THE PEOPLE.

A STATUTE passed by the Thirty-second
legislative assembly, providing that all
fees paid for the filing of incorporation
papers, except the sum of 81, which goes
to the secretary, shall be turned over to
the territorial treasurer for the benefit OF
the general fund of the territory, will
prove of benefit to the people. The fees
to be paid in fling incorporation papers
have been increased. 1t is believed that
the territorial treasury will derive quite
a revenue from this source. The law was
modelled after the Colorado statute. The
latter has worked we'll and brings into
the state treasury annually many thous.
ands of dollars. May the New Mexico
statute do likewise.

A WORD TO THE TAX COLLECTORS.

The county of Santa Fe, and in fact
every county in the territory, should re-
ceive nice bit of revenue under the pro-
visions of the new license law as enacted
by the Thirty.second legislative assembly
and published in the columns of this
journal in yesterdays issue. The rev.
enue will be Forthcoming if tax collectors
will do their duty as the law requires.
"No license paid, no business establish
ment open" should be the motto of the
several tax collectors throughout the ter
ritory. The provisions of the new license
law should be strictly enforced and that
from this very date. In this county
specially it is notorious fact that dur
ing the past few years the collection of
licenses has been very slack and that
political services were paid for by nom
collection of licenses. This thing should
cease. Let the collectors DO their duty
or get men who will do their dnty in the
office of tax collector.

A Very Fair Legislature.

The legislature which adjourned last
week, was, all things considered very
fair one. 1t was 80 evenly divided pc.
litically that no very bad legislation was
made. The division, however, prevented
the enactment of some good Legislation,
notable in the matter of county division
No county division bill was passed
although several very meritorious
ones were presented. When the legis.
lature met there was call for legislation
for the benefit of the taxpayer, and to
cut down the fees Of the county officers.
Two bills we're passed with these pur-
poses in view, one, known as the Bate
man bill, has been reviewed in the Lib
eral and it will, undoubtedly, be of great
help to the taxpayer. The other was to
cut the fees of the comfy officers. The
Liberal has not seen copy of it, and
does not know just how much it will
help ont In reducing taxes. As the cut
does not take effect until the next election
it will have no very Immediate effect, and
it gives the county officer the chance he
took two years ago, that of going into
the legislature, and buying new bill.
Efforts will probably be made to prevent
this. The appropriations made by this
legislature are about 100000 less than
those made by the last legislature. Lords

THE FORECLOSURE SALE or THE A. &P. R. R.

THE foreclosure sale of the Atlantic y
Pacific railroad will take place at Gallup
on May 3, 1897. What soft snap that
Atlantic & Pacific receiyership and fore
closure business has been for the Demo-
cratic lawyers in Albuquerque. Soft is
no name. Fat fees, passes and special
private cars galore for themselves, their
uncles and aunts, cousins and nieces, etc.
favors from the A. & P. officials till you
could not rest; attorneyships and the like
Just aoated aboat and we're caught up by
a few fortunate Albuquerque lawyers, and
every mothers son of them Democrat
But when the Santa Fe railroad gets pos
session, it is to be hoped and it doubtless
will take place, for Mr.. Ripley, the
president of that road, knows what
he is about, and knows that this sort
of business is of no good except
to favored few, will cease and cease
for good and the Atlantic 4 Pacific divis-
ion of the great Santa Fe system will be
conducted for the interests of the stock
holders and Landowners, for the good of
the people and to build up and develop
those parts of New Mexico and Arizona
through which it's lines rup. The New
Mexican feels sure, judging from Mr..
Ripley's record and character, that an era
for the better is dawning in the affairs of
the Atlantic & Pacific railroad, which will
be highly approved by the stockholders
and Landowners of the road and by the
people of this territory.

TRAFFIC ASSOCIATIONS.

Now comes Chairman Morrison of the
interstate commerce commission with q
decision that the recent opinion of the
Supreme court of the United States
against railroad pooling applies to pas.
senger as well as freight business. This
means that all of the big associations,
east and west, must disband. The West
ern I traffic association, Southwestern Traf-
fc association, Colorado Freight associa-
ton, Trancontinental Freight association,
Transmissouri route committee and the
Seaboard route committee have oil been
knocked into cooked hat during the past
four days by the withdrawal of the Santa
Fe, Burlington and other lines, upon
which these combinations depended for
existence.
Reorganization upon lines which will
evade the law as expounded by the Su-
preme court and the Interstate Commerce
commission is only q matter of time, for
after years of experiment, associations Of
the general character of those recently
disbanded have been found to be the only
means of keeping the various interests in
harmony in the matter of freights and
fares. In many cases these associations
have gone to pieces from internal dissen-
ton, and the result has invariably been
destructive, and ruinous rate wars that
emphasized the necessity of immediate
reorganization have taken place. This
will probably be the outcome of the
situatio n--reorganization upon lines that
do not conflict with the antitrust enact.
ments of recent years.
