Not Favoritism, But Enterprise.

A Las Vegas paper complains that the
New Mexican publishes official news q
week before it does. Well, we'll, that is
certainly an outrage! 1t is like the los
ing nan in the ace yelling to the leader
to stop running until he comes up to
him. The official records at the capital
are open to every one who desires to see
them, and If a Las Vegas paper wants
to publish the official records as soon
as the New Mexican does it merely
needs to keep a correspondent in the
capital city who would telegraph APP
pointments, court and other official
news, to Las Vegas as soon as it occurs.
To demand that Governor Otero or any
other official should send al account OF
their daily doings every evening to
newspapers of the territory by special
delivery and then enjoin the New Mex
lean from printing the news until the
other papers all have printed it is a
great idea, to be sure, but somewhat
impracticab1e. Las Vegas people who
wish to keep informed on territorial do
ings should read the New Mexican.

Twenty Lodges With 922 Members
Furnishing Order,

ll0urlSuluS VIuoI'
The proceedings Of the twenty-second
annual communication Of the grand
lodge of Freemasons of New Mexico for
the year 1899 have been published by
Grand Secretary Keen. They show that
there are twenty Masonic lodges in the
territory. located as follows: Montezu-
ma, at Santa Fe; Chapman, East Las
Vegas; Aztec, Las Cruces; Union, Wat
rous; Temple, Albuquerque; Silver City.
Silver City; Socorro, Socorro; Mimbres,
Georgetown; Gate City, Ration; DEM

imas, Pennington; Kingston, Kingston;
Chama, Chama; Roswell, Roswell;
Cerrillos, Cerrillos; White Oaks, White
Oaks; Oddly, Carlsbad; Lebanon, Gal
lup; Clayton, Clayton. The number OF
Masons, members of these lodges, on
August 81, 1899, vas 922, a gain during
the year Of forty-one. The oldest lodge
in the territory is Montezuma lodge, at
Santa Fe, which vas chartered by the
grand lodge Of Missouri May s, 1851.
Chapman lodge, at Las Vegas, was
chartered by the same grand lodge June
20, 1862, and Aztec lodge, at Las Cruces,
June 4, 1866. 1t is estimated that there
are about 600 Freemasons in the terri
tory, who are members of lodges in
states and other territories or who arc
unaf1liated.- The order seems to be In a
very lourishing condition. Mr.. A. A,
Keen has been grand secretary for six
teen years, and has made such an ex-
cellent record i'm that position that he
was unanimously reelected at the last
communication Of the grand lodge for
the seventeenth time.

p1re 10 n1e departments felulree plSne
ard labor. During the past few years
the people of the territory have many
times asked their executives to go to the
national capital to work for measures
that were deemed of benefit to New
Mexico. Since Governor Otero has been
in office he has, at the request of promi-
hen citizens, made a half a dozen trips
to Washington for objects connected
with the welfare of the territory. The
governor Of a territory has much more
to do, is kept buster, and is compelled
to spend more money in the demands of
this position, than are the governors of
many of the great states of the Union.
Taking everything into consideration,
and in order to uphold the proper dig
nifty and Importance of the office, and
to give fair pay for services rendered,
the salary of the governor of New Mex
leo, as we'll as those of the governors of
Oklahoma and Arizona, should be fixed
at at least $4,000.
AS far as the salary of the judges of
the supreme court are concerned, these
also should be increased to the figure
given by the Enterprise and quoted
above. y

The Globe-Democrat of Saturday last
devotes over half a column to dispatches
from Iowa, Indian Territory, Oklahoma,
California, Colorado and other states,
telling of the ravages of smallpox in
those commemorative. In Iowa a rail-
road has suspended operations on ac-
count of the prevalence of smallpox,
and Washington Is experiencing a mild
panic on recount of the existence Of
this disease in the family of a congress-
a New Mexico at present seems the
only place in the United States exempt
from the scourge, which, if the people
of the territory were malicious, would
be a source of satisfaction to it on ac-
count of the ISLANDERS the territory was
exposed to last year because a few
smallpox cases had occurred within its
limits.

Dollars AGAINST Justice.

One Of the main arguments against
statehood for New Mexico by its oppo-
nents in the territory is that a state
government would cost the people more
than the present territorial form. 1t is
forgotten that the elevation of New
| Mexico to the dignity of statehood would
| confer compromising benefits that even
in a financial way would make up the
| difference between the amount New
Mexico now has to pay for it's govern
ment and the sum 1t would pay for a
state government. If the financial ar
gument were used in measuring the lib
critics and the rights of a free-born peo-
| pie it might be said that it would have
been cheaper for the thirteen colonies
to have remained under the rule of
Great Britain, and 1t would be cheaper
for New York and Pennsylvania to be
territories now, but should q law be
passed and enforced putting those
states back under a territorial form of
government for the sake of economy, 1t
would cause civil war. AS a matter of

ly than many of the states. Its debt Is
less, Its income is greater, and its val
uation of assessable property Is much
lower than that of many of the old
states. But after all, statehood for New
| Mexico Is not so much a matter Of dol
lars and cents, but the enforcement of
the principles of no taxation without
representation, of equal rights, of treaty
promises, a matter of Justice against
injustice, of truth against f%alsehood, of
right against wrong. Though justice,
truth and right are crushed for a time,
they will triumph in the end, and New
Mexico, which is we'll able to take care
of itself, will eventually be enrolled in
| the family of states.

Salaries for the Governor and the JUDGES.

We are pleased to learn that "a bill has
been introduced into both houses of
congress to increase the salaries of the
judges of our supreme court. The small
sun Of 5000 that they nov receive Is
entirely too small a compensation for
the work they have to do. A salary of
S., 500 for the chief justice and $4,000 for
the associate judges is non too much.
The salary Of the governor should al
80 be $1,000 at least. His salary, as it
exists now, Is entirely inadequate with
the large number of guests that his po-
sition calls upon him to entertain. If
$500 was only an adequate compensa-
ton for the governor in 1878, when the
salary was fixed, 1t certainly must be
inadequate to-day, with the population
more than doubled and the duties and
responsibilities of the office correspond
ly increased.-Silver City Enterprise.
The above is correct, and expresses
the opinion of the New Mexican with
the exception of one point. The salary
Of the governor of New Mexico ia but
81, 900 per annum, and 1t should certain
ly be $4,000 at least. The position Of
governor of New Mexico ia, from a mon
etary standpoint, not very desirable. Its
duties, official and social, compel a large
expenditure of money, II properly at
tended to. Much Is expected OF the gov
ernor; he is asked to contribute to many
objects which are considered of bene-
fit to the territory. He is constrained to
travel about a good deal, and that costs
money. The social demands made upon
him are many and costly. Many distin-
guished people visit the capital of the
territory and are entertained at the ex-
ecutive residence, and that takes mon
ey; last, but not least, the governor is
often asked to contribute handsomely
to the campaign expenses Of his party,
be that Republican or Democratic; he
does so, and by right he ought to do 30.
Here comes the fact that the duties
Of the governor of New Mexico are on
erous and multifarious. There are hun
dreds of letters received at the executive
office asking information upon a great
many topics, and these are courte ously
and promptly answered. The governor
In addition to his regular duties and
those pertaining to the executive office,
Is also by the law Of the territory made
ex-oficio member of a great many
boards, of most of whom he is presiding
officer or chairman. Attending the
meetings of these takes up much time
and involves much labor. The prepare.

IMPORTANT OPINIONS.
Solicitor General E. L. BARTLETT Oonstrues
Laws Concerning Cattle.

Santa Fe, N. M, January 20, 1901.
A. La Rue, Esq, Secretary of the Cat
tie Sanitary Board, East Las Vegas, N.
NJ: Dear Sir-Your favor Of the 18th
has been handed to me by Governor
Otero for reply, in which you ask: l.
Can your board, as a board, prosecute
for violations Of the law concerning
cattle? In reply would say that for any
violation of the statute law the prose-
cution should be in the name of the ter
ritory, your board acting az a prosecut-
ing witness, but in any prosecutions
under rules and regulations made and
promulgated by your board governing
inspection or quarantine under sections
1872 and 1876, 20s, Compiled Laws Of 1897,
the prosecution shall be in the name of
the board.
2. You ask: Can butchers who have
fled their bonds as such be prosecuted
for selling the meat OF cattle bought and
killed by them for which they have moi
taken an acknowledged bill Of sale, as
required by law? To this, I answer yes,
in the name of the territory, under
chapter A, Session Laws OF 1899.
8. You ask: Would the board be au.
thorized to institute suits and employ
an attorney and prosecute in cases
where parties not butchers sell meat
without exhibiting the hides of the and
mails from which the meat SO offered
and sold was taken, or for peddling
meats in plazas, settlements or mining
camps, without having either the hides
of the animals from which the meat was
produced or the license required by law,
and what would be the penalty for the
offense upon conviction? In reply,
would a that such suits must be
prosecuted in the name of the territory
against the defendant, and under the
official sanction of the district attorney
but the board Is authorized under Sec
ton 231, Compiled Laws of 1897, to EN-.
ploy an attorney to aid such district at.
torney in the enforcement of THE laws
Chapter A Of the laws of 1899, in addi-
ton to the other provisions OF law, COW
ers the case and authorizes the prose-
cution. AS to the penalty, this statute,
chapter "A, is silent, but sections 1864
and 1866 prescribe a penalty Of not less
than $50 or imprisonment for not less
than three months, or both, at the dis
erection Of the court, upon conviction.
Very truly yours,
EDWARD L. BARTLETT,
Solicitor General.

the White Oaks country to the front,
position to DO so, would do wonders for
New Mexico, and would eventually
prove a good business investment. The
latest love of the railway company is
to lay out a systematic border of truck
gardens around Alamogordo, and dis
posing Of them with water rights on
easy long payments. This will make
A1amogordo the truck garden center Of
the southwest, and bring big business
to the railroad company.

The Clayton Enterprise is the third
paper in New Mexico which this early
in the veal has put on a dress of
type. The Dona Ana County Republican
started the progressive movement, and
was followed by the Silver City Enter
prise. 1t Is also only a few months ago
that the Roswell Register and the San
Marcial Bee appeared in brand-new
buds. That is evidence sufficient that
prosperity is abroad in New Mexico, for
newspaper men are generally the last
to get their share of good times.

Irrigation is intensive farming.
Where the water supply is ample it is

and crops are enormous The expert

gineer with his hand on the lever. The
movements of his hand regulate the
amount of water supplied to his fields,

It is rather early in the year for rail-
road building, yet about a dozen new
lines through New Mexico have already
been projected, with several more to be
sprung on the public before long. There
is plenty of room in New Mexico for
more railroads, and all reasonable prof.
ects in the line of railroad building will
sooner or later become a reality, but If
one-tenth Of the projected lines are
built within the next ten years New
Mexico will be well satisfied.
