Mr.. Julian j. Trujillo, Kelly, n. NJ.
Santa Fe, y. NJ June II, 1S9S.-
Dear Sir. | beg to acknowledge
the receipt Of your favor Of recent
date lnquirinG of the meaning OF
of the provision Of the school law
eff 1891. That in school districts
where the majority of children are
of Spanish speaking parents teach
ers should know both English and
Spanish" In reply | lave to say
that the only construction that
can be placed on said provision is,
that in such cases the teacher
should have acknowledge of both
languages in order that he might
be able to use Spanish books a
dopted by the territorial board of
education. AS to whether Span
ish car be Taught in the public
schools i have-to say that while
there is no specific provision Of
law requiring that Spanish should
be taught, still section 1920, Of the
compiled laws of 1884, provides
THAT it shall be the duty of the
superintendent of public instruct
ion to recommend the most ap-
proved text books, in English and
in Spanish, for the common schools
Of the territory after tie same are
adopted by the territorial board OF
education, etc" in view of the fact
that the said territorial board OF
education adopted text books in
Spanish and English a list is en-,
closed herewith it becomes .the
duty of teachers to use said books
in the public schools and. there
foEa the teaching of the Spanish
language is compulsory in order
to carry out the plain provisions
of the law authorizing the adoption
of text books as above stated. Very
truly yours,
NJ. G, de Baca, Supt.

such measure Of protection as will
arise from proper tariff tax on
foreign wool. We assert our be-
lief thatforaign wool is proper sub
ject of tariff taxation, and we so
interpret the following language
of the Chicago plataform: "We
hold that tariff duties should be
levied for the purpose Of revenue,
such duties to be 50 adjusted as to
operate equally throughout the
country and net discriminate be
tween class or section and that tax
alton should be limited to the needs
Of the government, honestly and
economically administered" "
We declare that -the present tar
if law, known as the DINGHY law,
diacriininates unjustly against the
wool growers Of New Mexico in
that it provides 4 tariff tax of -
cents per pound upon foreign
woods which compete with woods
oIoWn,in the eastern states, ROta'D7
Iy the state of Ohio, while the tar
if tax upon foreign woods grown
in New Mexico is but 4 cents per
pound.
Third-We desire to unite in the
same organization all voters Of this
territory who favor legislation by
congress abolishing the doctrine
of nonliabllity of employers for in
! juries to employees occasioned by
negligence of fellow servant engag-
ed IN the same common employment

legislation from the territorial leg.

We assert that such legislation
is demanded by every onsidcra-
ton of humanity and justice.
Fourth We uesire also to unite
in the same organization all voters
of the territory of New Mexico
who oppose the repeal of the law
passed by the last legislature re-
ducing the compensation of coun-
ty officers, which, by its terms is
to take effect JanuAy j, 1899,
and we hope to pledge all lcgisla-
tive Candidates Of thc democratic
party against such repeal, and in
favor Of such revision of the said
law as will give Just compensation
| to the officers OF the small counties
without allowing excessive compen
sation to those of the larger coun-
ties of the territory.
Fifth-Wc desire also to unite
in the same organization all votes 5
of the territory who favor the i'm
