1t appears from John w. Gates tes-
timony before the interstate COM
merce commission on the Louisville
and Nashville episode that, if ne did
not throw the stock market into a
panic last spring by his raid on the
road, he certainly threw J.. p. Nor
gan into a panic, and caused the lat
ter to send SO cheap a messenger as
Charles NJ. Schwab to Gates bedroom
at 3 o'clock in the morning to find out
what the raider would do. What he
did do finally, according to his own
story, was to sell to ]. p. Morgan &
Co. for $28, 100000 STICK Of the Louis
vile and Nashville road which cost
him and his fellows in the game about
$22, ,OO0-thus netting them a pro-
fit Of abut $500, 900 as easily as one
would write down the figures. Some
people think that this sort of finance
makes for financial stability.

legislature had declared the place va.
cant and had given the commissioners
power to name his successors. Mr..
Sandoval got ready to fight. He en-.
gagad three able bodied deputies and
a brace of brainy attorneys. The lat
ter, Messrs. T. B. CatrOn and e. v.
Chaves, told the claimant to keep in
possession of his Office at all hazards.
The legislature adjourned, and a
week later, the expected happened.
The commissioners got together and
named Councilman G. F. Albright as
SCISSOR. Just how it happened lew
know and they won't tell; but, before
the day was over, Mr.. Albright was
in charge OF the Office and Sando-
walls three able-bodied deputies were
nowhere to speak of. Mr.. Sandoval
was taking things easy at his ranch
in Sandoval county. BY trusting the
important matter to his deputies, he
seems to have lost a big part OF his
chances Of remaining in Office. How
ever, acting under advice from his
attorneys, he opened an Office in the
new town, and declares himself the
assessor of the county. The case
will be decided in the courts very
Neither man IS the peoples
choice, but they will be satisfied very
well with equalization Of the taxes.
Having repented in sackcloth and
ashes for not resisting the Ubiquitous
action of the legislature in extending
the terms Of the city officials, the
people are now concerning measures
to force a city election this spring.
They have labored with the foul coun
cilmen whose terms should have ex
pired this year. and it is said all are
willing to resign. If they do the re-
mainder will lack power to name
successors, and an election must en-
sue.

WEDNESDAY EVENING APRIL !
AN ANNOUNCEMENT.

c. w Ward has arrived from Albu-
querquc and has taken up the active
work of the city editorship on The
Optic. Mr.. Ward has been connected
with the Albuquerque Journal-Demo
crat for the past six years and has
contributed not a little to that pa
per's success. and the management of
that paper parted with his services
only because he deemed it advisable
to give up the night work, unavoid-
able on a morning paper, and parted
with him not without making him
flattering inducements To remain on
it's staff.
The Optic management considers
itself fortunate in securing the SER
vices of Mr.. Ward and takes pleasure
in introducing him 20 the public as a
gentleman whom it will be a pleas
ure to meet and whose every endeav-
or will be to advance the interests of
Las Vegas along the lines of intel
lectual. moral and social progress,
and u%pbuilding.
He will be joined here later by his
wife and they intend to make this
city their home, and The Optic be
speaks for them a hearty welcome in

citizenship which will make this city

ent a step further, and ere the citi-
zens had a lint on the matter, and
while they were congratulating them
selves upon the prospect of victory
in the approaching election, the start
ling news reached them thai the pra-
ces Of he two county commissioners
made vacant by the division of the
county, had been filed by the legisla-
ture. Close friends of the ring had
been named, and these were clothed
with the power to name the assessor
and the probate judge. 1t seemed
Cypress the people had been given to
the gang. The only gratifying fea.
ture OF the matter lay In the fact
hat he hurried was an ac-
knowledgement from the bosses that
they we're unable longer to control
the county machinery and elect their
tools to the offices.
In Albuquerque there was instant
rebellion. The people assembled on
the streets in mass meeting and took
| steps to resist the pa fment of taxes
unless justice could be secured. A
committee headed by Hon. j. s. Ray
nolds visited the taxpayers-and obtain
| ed a vast number OF signatures to a pa
per binding the signers to work TO.
gether against the domination of the
bosses and unequal taxation. In the
meantime, the Journal-D Democrat had
announced it's independence of the
republican bosses, and pledged itself
to the cause Of the people. Its col
umns were thrown open to the public
and the expressions against gang rule
were convincing and vigorous. The
Citizen, which had at the outset, cham
pioned the cause Of the people, nota-
bly, in the county division question,
attempted to defend the course of the
legislature in forcing Objectionable
officials upon the county. So great
was the ire of the citizens, however,
and SO sweeping the condemnation of
the Citizens course thai, a few days
ago it gave way and began to advo-
cate tax reform. 1t also Joined with
the morning paper in a demand for
the auditing of all the books of the
county officials. Both papers sent
men to the Office Of the assessor to
make examination Of the rolls, with
the avowed intention of having the
lists made public. So startling were
the revelations that neither paper has
thus far had the courage to publish the
statements.
However, the determined spirit of
the people has a substantial vic
tory. All parties have practically
agreed that assessments shall be
equalized. The interesting situation
OF two assessors is presented in the
county, but both declare that the de-
mands Of the taxpayers league are
just, n the chances are well nigh
certain, that whoever continues to
occupy the comfortable chair of the
assessor, will have a wide open and
attentive a for the demands of the
| citizens.
Speaking of the assessors, thereby
hangs a ale of some interest. When
J. M. Sandoval, assessor Of the undi-
vided county Of Bernalillo, became
| practically certain that the division
bill was a go, he hastily gathered
his lares and p~enates. and mace all
| speed to establish a residence within
the borders of the county of Bernalillo
as its exists today. Meanwhile, the

Information from Albuquerque
where the people have been up in
arms for reform, especially in he Office
oil assessor. indicates that the citi-
zens have won big advantages al
ready. That they will secure equali-
cation of taxation. there is no longer
any doubt. The conditions down
there were unspeakable. The man
who had the %stand-in, who a paid
tribute, increased the slush fund, or
favored the gam in any way. might
carry a stock worth $4,000 and pay
taxes ON So. Goodnight own a home
worth $1,000 and pay taxes on $500.
But the man who had dared TO be
independent, who had, perhaps in an
unguarded moment. expressed his dis
pleasure at the rotten system and
methods that prevailed-who had con-
tributed nothing to the bosses or in
any way incurred their ~displeasure,
must pay ON the full value of his prop
erty-and prhaps more. Goo citi-
zens were driven out of the town.
and men became afraid to say their
souls were owned by themselves.
The rate of taxation was nominally,
above six per cent. While few, COM
paratively. returned their property at
anything like the full value, yet the
effect on outside capitalists vas al
ways disastrous. The work Of the
county commissioners, sitting as a
board of equalization, has been feaA
full and wonderful. This body, the
bosses have always controlled body
and soul, and taxes went up or down
at the nod of their heads.
Ii needed but a bold stand on the
part of the people to bring about q
different and better order of things.
The movement for the division of
BernaliiIo county was fought for with
the greatest energy by the. large ma
jority OF the business men of the city.
They believed that with the curtail-
ing of the county limits, the people
of the city would be able to CONTROL,
and establish a just and equitable
county government. There was gen.
eral rejoicing when the measure fin
ally passed, and citizens congratulated
each other hat the days of ring rule
were numbered. In their eagerness
for county division, the Albuquerque
ans paid little attention to the iniqus
tous actionof the assembly in legis-
lating city officials into Office for a
longer term than that for which the
people elected them. The apathy In
his matter proved disastrous. Had
the people prepared to test the n
stitutionaIity of the Objectionable leg
islation, instead OF passively condemn
ing it, the amendment OF the Sando-
val county bill. which aroused such
bitter opposition on the part of the
people, would probably, never have
been introduced But when the first
violation OF the principal OF the liber-
