10. Combinations of capital havin,
as their object the control of the pro
duction of commodities, or the market
thereof, and the regulation of wages
are hurtful and injurious to the bes
interests of the people, and should b,
prevented by congress under a consti
t%utional amendment. New Mexico is af
fiicted with that greatest of all monop
olies, the oil trust. BY unjust combina,
ton and discrimination this great trus.
has virtually driven all competition
from our territory, and as a conse.
quence thereof our people are compelled
to pay for the oil they consume more
than double the price paid for better oil
by the people of Colorado, Texas, Cali.
fornia and other surrounding states and
territories. We therefore favor such
national legislation as shall establish
complete legal control over all trusts
and ~monopolies, and we emphatically
demand that the next legislature of this
the subject, pass a law which will pre-
vent unjust discrimination against our
people, and provide for the punishment
of those who seek to destroy honest
competition. We favor the repeal of the
so-called coal oil law of this territory.
16. We condemn the provisions of the
%so-called Stephens bill, now pending be-
fore the congress of the United States,
which bill, in terms, inhibits the people
of this territory from acquiring rights
in the waters of the Rio Grande and it's
tributaries, such as can be and are now
being acquired by the inhabitants Of
Colorado and Texas; which prohibits
the use, i%mpounding and detention for
legitimate commercial purposes of
waste waters arising and flowing
through New Mexico; and which re-
moves from the jurisdiction of our ter
ritorial courts litigation over the local
questions. We further favor the imme-
date construction of the Elephant
dam.
II. The reasons for keeping New

eminent have long ceased to exist. 1t Is
right to have this territory admit
ted as a state, and we insist hat it is
the duty of congress to admit it. The
Republican national con-
vention of last June, representing the
Whole Republican party of the United
States, declared as follows: 1--WE favor
rule for, and the early admission
% statehood of, the territories of New
Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma" We
call the attention of this pledge to the
president and the congress of the Unit
States, and confidently expect its
observance n the early admission of
territory as a state.
Is. We and the people of New Mexi-
20 are unalterably opposed to the main
and creation of all forest re-
serves in this territory, as being inju-
'ious to our people and their best inter-
,sts.
10. We are opposed to the leasing of
he public domain under any or
'orm whatever, believing it injurious
detrimental to the interests of the
people, and to the advantage of large
and trusts; and we re-
'pectfully and earnestly represent to
congress that all bills now pending be-
ore that body, having as their purpose |
he leasing or allotment of the public
of the United States to individ-
lals, companies or corporations, be not
20. We recommend the governor of
his territory to appoint seven of the
members Of the Democratic
'arty, and a like number Of the Repub-
lean party to act with him, to consti-
ute a committee of fifteen of our citi-
ems, of which he shall be chairman, t.
% to Washington during the coming
ession of congress and urge by all hon
rable means the passage of an en-
bling act for the admission of New
fexico as a state in the union.
q. We favor the extension and addi-
ional area of the present county Of Nc
linley, and that all delinquent taxes
and becoming due from that
of the territory embraced with
the limits Of the present county of
1ckinley should be turned into the
Of said county.
