To the Editor Of the Optic.
HOLMAN, Nm, January 18th, 1897.
LIN reply to your postal card. IS to
what laws in my opinion, should be
passed or repealed this winter. 10 the
first place. I will say that l earnestly
hope our solons At Santa Fe, will At
once proceed to business. and not make
q wild west show Of themselves, 10 was
done two years ago. II they cannot
do that, then the most proper thing for
them to do il 10 adjourn at once, and
thus save expenses aud further disgrace
to our Territory. But il they will do
their duty, and there Is no reason why
they should not. I would suggest that
among the many needed laws that
should be enacted, they should pass
one including the election of justice Of
the peace and constable, and that OF
school directors, IN our general cleo.
tion; and the school directors DO elect
ed for two years, instead Of ono, there.
by saving useless expense to our coun.
ties. j.
Another important law that should
again be passed, only little more
strict, is the orc repealed four years
ago requiring every citizen to pay his
poll-tax before he can vote or DO voted,
so that We may ut least have two or
three mouths Of school each year.
There are sevsrsl other districts 10 this
county, and l presume in several others.
that have not had . day OF public
school in three years. and not . single
dollar OF poll.tax collected.
They should also abolish the Office Of
county school superintendent, % II 10
of no use or benefit 10 anybody except
the school superintendent himself, and
aggregate the duties Of said Office to
the probate Judge.
We have too many public Offices and
not enough 10 support them with. 30,
in my opinion, several Of them should
be abolished or consolidated, thereby
saving q lot Of unnecessary expense.
There are many other equally import.
ant laws that should be passed, ~ we'll
as many that should be repealed, and
1t is hoped that our Legislators this
winter will prove themselves eqpai to
the emergency, and pass those laws
beneficial to the future prosperity and
welfare of the Territory and abolish
those that are unnecessary and useless.
Respectfully yours.
