That Santa Fe Roll Up an Inspiring
Majority for Senator w. II. !
Andrews.
Santa Fe, N. NJ, Nov. Z, 1864

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Nov. Z, 1904.
Editor New Mexican:
Tomorrow we will decide who will
be our delegate in Congress for the
next two years and it is earnestly hop
ed that the citizens of Santa Fe will
vote for their own best interests. For
some unknown reason this city was
left 18 miles from the main line of
the Santa Fe Railway, with the logical
result that while Las Vegas and Albu-
querque were rapidly increasing in
wealth and population we, with SUI
perior or at least equal resources and
advantages, are hardly able to hold
our own. Fortunately for u.s., without
asking lis to advance dollar or buy a
share of stock. Senator Andrews back
ed by Eastern capitalists, whom he
induced to assist him, to our great
surprise and qualification began the
construction of part of an extensive
system of railways. With men like
Andrews to resolve is to act, and in a
short time the first link of his system
was opened from this city to the great
Rock Island Railway, and we now look

up those totals. Let us investigate {
bit.
Under Thornton and the Democrats
the average total levy was 9.275 mills
each year. Of this total there were
used 7.125 mills to pay salaries, ETC..
leaving only 215 mills for all educa.
tional purposes, charities, sinking
funds and similar necessities. Under
Otero the average total levy has been
1892 mills per annum, of which total
only mills are required for all sal.
aries, interest, the penitentiary
and miscellaneous funds. The entire
balance, amounting to 1872 mills levied
under Otero, is used to pay for edu
cation, charities, public improvements
and deficit bonds left by the Demo
Gratis.
Let the taxpayer contrast these fig.
ures, and consider what sort of finan
cial management each represents
Think of a levy OF 125 mills by
Thornton accompanied by deficiencies
in the interest fund, as compared with
a levy of six mills under Otero with
which all expenses are met and re-
spo: able balances maintained for an
emergency. The increased levies un-
der the present administration have
all benefited the children and the tax
payers of New Mexico for they have
been applied, to the last cent, to edu-
cate the one ard pay off the bonded
debt of the other. The reduction
made by Otero in interest charges
alone amounts to more than $4,000
per annum.
The willy financial expert at Demo-
cratic headquarters maintains that the
taxpayers could we'll afford to have
Thornton leave a deficit, as he spent
less than Otero is doing. Four years
of Democratic Thoynton legislation
left gross deficit of $233,22174, upon
which the annual interest at 5 per cent
is 11,661.05, or $11G,6l0.50 in ten
years. Now, it may be easier to pay
$349,S32.54 in 1907 than To pay $685.
221.74 in 1897, but it was awfully poor
financial management. In fact. no po-
litical party has any right to ask for
the support of the people when its rec
ord shows that It has never ye. been
able to rect cur.elr expenses except
by leaving defic'.s to bc made goo
by successors in Office. That is the rec
ord of Democracy in this Territory as
we'll as in the Nation at large, and
there is not even an exception to prove
the rule.

ed mystery how he could spend 81,
1876, 5,205.79 in four years, but our Demo
cratic authority states that such is the
fact.
The Otero administration, on the
other hand, has nothing to conceal, mol
is it necessary to resort TO any jugg
ling with the figures. Here are some
important items for 1903:
Paid interest and principal on the
bonded debt, $119,261; asylum, peni-
tentiary, schools and charities, $685.
ATS; Worlds Fair, militia, courts and
miscellaneous, $75,751; public salaries
$5S,O69. This last item, by the way, is
the one which the Democratic pamph-
letter tries to make the public believe
is responsible for all the expenses in
Cured in running our Territorial gov
ernment today.
The facts are so clear and indisput-
able that the Democratic party will
find it impossible to mislead single
voter by circulating any such hysteri-
cal propaganda.
The Democratic campaign managers
seem to assume that they make great
hit in such statements as the follow
ing:
"In 1897, the last year of Thornton's s
administration, the extra legislative
employees were SO, at an expense to
the Territory of $S,4SO."
Why be so modest gentlemen, and
why tell only half of the story? 1t is
a good one.
In 1897 one branch of the legislature
was organized by the Republicans, who
determined that they would accom-
plish at least one reform, and refuse
to permit any such raid on the treas
ury as the Democratic legislature put
through in 1895. That fact, and that
alone, is responsible for the decrease
in legislative expenses in 1897.
But what about. the session of 1885,
which was controlled entirely by Dem
ocrats?
Well, for one thing, the extra en-
ployes cost the Territory $31, 100 and
of thaat enormous sum more than $780,
900 was paid by the illegal creation of
Special Deficit Fund" which was
left for Otero and the Republicans to
pay, because, of course, no Democratic
administration ever had any cash bal
ance in its treasury. A Republican
member of that legislature of 1895
brought an injunction suit to restrain
the Democratic auditor from drawing
warrants to pay such outrageous sal
aries to these extra employees. The
suit was sustained by the district
court, but the opposition succeeded
in calling together an extraordinary
session of the Democratic Supreme
Court, which found no difficulty In au-
thorizing the raid.
The most careful reading of sthis
Democratic campaign document dis
closes no mention of the facts just
cited. We wonder why?
When attempting to discuss the tax
levy under the two administrations,
the Democrats cite totals only, hop
ing, we assume, thaat the taxpayer will
not stop to inquire what goes to make

FALSE AND FRAUDU-
Lent CHARGES AGAIN
KNOCKED OUT
Accusations by DemoCrdtiC---Rodey
Campaign Bosses, Recently Pub
lished, Fully Demonstrated to be
Untrue and BdSeleSS.

The Democratic leaders of New Mex
leo appear to be"as thoroughly at home
in discussing financial matters as was
the proverbial "pig in the parlor." One
of these-that is a Democratic leader
- has assayed to refute some of the
facts and figures given to the taXpay-
ers by the Republican Central Com
mittee in a pamphlet entitled "The
Financial Record of the Otero Admin
istration." After floundering through
every conceivable combination of fig
ures, exclamation points and scare
heads in large type, this financial gen.
ius succeeds in providing two import
ant things. First, that the Otero ad-
ministration inherited large deficits
from Thornton, and, second, that the
taxpayer pays the taxes.
But what of the argument, if such
a tumble of the typefaces can be call
ed an argument? In referring to the
bonded debt there appears statement
citing the Democratic treasurer's re-
port for 1896, to the effect that the to-
tai debt was then $959,OO0. An inspec-
ton of that report quickly indicates
two important flaws in this statement,
one being the fact that the addition
was not correctly made, and another
that large portion of the total debt
was ingeniously tucked away in fine
print on the next page. After all OF
these errors are corrected and the
Thornton deficit added, it is found that
the debt confronting Otero and the Re-
publicans in 1899 amounted to S1,249,-
800 as stated by them. Since that
date the debt has been reduced at a
rate something greater than $4,000
each year, or total of $395,665 in five
years, leaving the net debt today only
$S54.735, a|faet which is easily suscep-
tible of proof by the official records.
The Democratic writer refers joy
fully to the small expenditures under
Thornton, but neglects to call atten-
tion to the fact that even then Thorn
ton spent on an average of 100000 per
year more than he collected. 1t ap-
pears to be one of the principal tenets
of the Democratic financial doctrine
that unpaid bills do not represent ex-
penditures, and that when the cash
is all gone it is all right to pile up de-
ficits for some one else to pay.
The author of the screed in ques-
tion appears to be especially delight
ed with the fact that in 1895 and 1896
Thornton spent total of only $685.
949.49. But since he is so fond of cit
ing Treasurer's reports why not refer
to that for 1898 on page of which ap-
pears the following foot note:
"The excess Of the interest pay.
ments In 1898 above the annual inter-
est charge represents the payment cf
arrearages for 1895 and 1896"
Despite that payment. the Repub-
lican legislature of 1899 had to meet
a deficit in the interest fund, handed
down by the Democrats. ani amount
ing to $55.243. AS Thorr ton paid less
than $4,000 per year to the education
al institutions, none of the principal
and little of the interest on the public
debt, it remains today an unsolv-
