MARTIN RELIEF LAW
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Judge John R. McFie So Decides the Famous Fifty
Thousand Dollar Appropriation for Flood Suf-
ferers in Thirteen of the Counties of New Mexico.
Socorro County Interested.

Judge John h. McFie of the
first judicial district has just
decided the Martin food sufferers
relief bill unconstitutional. This
bill was introduced by Hon. w. f.
Martin, councilman from this dis
trict in the thirty-sixth legislative
assembly, and provided for the
appropriation of $4,000 for the
relief of those who suffered from
the disastrous floods of last year.
The $4,000 appropriated was
apportioned among thirteen of
the twenty-five counties of New
Mexico, among four cities which
were in need of defense from
floods. Socorro was one of the
cities favored in the appropria-
tion, this city receiving $4,000
for the construction of dykes,
the others being Albuquerque
San Marcial, and Hillsboro.
Sums ranging from $4,000 to
to Sl.ooo were appropriated for
thirteencounties, including Socor-
70 county, the appropriations in
the several counties to be paid
pro rata to the flood sufferers in
those counties, in cash.
The following is the syllabu,
of the opinion as given by Judge
McFie, which outlines the several
grounds upon which his opinion
is based:
First. The act OF February
4th, 1905, known as the flooC

SANTA FE HAVING ITS
SHARE OF BAD FIRES.

Early Tuesday morning the
old government granary on the
Fort Marcy addition in Santa Fe
was totally destroyed by FIRE.
The granary was an immense
frame structure and was an old
land mark in the capital city. AT
the time of the fire it was being
used as a warehouse, and con-
tanned six car loads of fine hotel
furniture.
The building and furniture was
owned by Otto Retsch, and he
estimates his loss at $4,000,
partially covered by insurance.
1t is believed that the fire was of
incendiary origin, as the building
was on a large vacant lot, far
away from any other building
This is the third destructive fire
to occur in Santa Fe within the
last few months. Albuquerque

WARMING TO BOYS.
Santa Fe Officials Wish to Avoid
Accidents So Common at This
Time of the Year.

Santa Fe officials are doing
the best they can to avoid all
possibility of accidents in their
yards. At this season of the
year accidents are most common,
because of the fact that many
youngsters spend a great deal
of their vacation time in the
local yards jumping onto and off
of moving trains. 1t has been
found impossible for trainmen to
prevent this, and there have been
frequent accidents resulting in
the loss of life or limb. Such
accidents have occurred in Socor-
TO. The Santa Fe officials have
called the attention of the city
authorities to the matter and il
is hoped for the good of all
concerned that all boys found
trespassing upon railroad proper
ty will be promptly arrested.

LARGE ADDITlONTO GILA RESERVE.
Orders from Washington Add Almost
One Million Acres.

Supervisor Mcclure, of the
Gila forest reserve, received a
message from the department at
Washington last evening, stating
that nearly 1,ooo, 900 acres of
land lying to the east and south
of the present Gila reserve had
been added to that reserve, says
the Albuquerque Citizen. The
present area of the Gila reserve
aggregates nearly ,, $50, 600 acres,
and with this enormous addition
it will be one of the largest in
the United States. The area
which is added will include Fort
Bayard, Pinos Altos and consid-
cradle country lying in and
around Bear creek and the Black
Range, and will extend south to
Kingston, The present force of
rangers employed on the ella
reserve, which numbers twelve,
will be increased to twenty-five,
which number will be neces-
sary to look after this large tract
of land.

TELEPHONE CONNECTION.
socorro Will Soon Have Excellent
Service with ALI Neighbor-

Capt. II. ]. Matthews, manager
for the Socorro Telephone Com
pany, returned Thursday from
Engle where he had been engaged
for some time in directing the
erecting of a branch telephone
line connecting that place with the
plant of the Southwestern Lead
and Zinc Company fifteen miles
distant in the Cdballo mountains.
Captain Matthews expects to
go out Monday morning TO
supervise the beginning of the
work of putting up the Water
Canon branch. He thinks that
the line between Socorro and
Magdalena will be in operation
in fifteen days and that Socorro
will be in condition to hello" to
Denver not later than January /.
Surveyors have Just completed
the survey of the long distance
line between Socorro and Las
Vegas. This line will not be
completed until some time in
1906, when connection will be
made between Denver and FL
PaSo.

JEROME HAS A BURRO
THAT DRINKS BEER.

Jerome, Arizona, boasts of a
burro who is quite a lush" for
he is very fond of his beer and
will come to the St. Elmo
regularly for his drink. He
drinks about two wash basins full
if he can get it and after his
drink he feels very Jolly. He
will run in every direction with
his head in the air and occasional
~ he takes a notion to chase
some one. The boys enjoy this
very much and when he is on his
spree it is nothing unusual TO see
a dozen or two boys chasing him,
who have all sorts of fun. -Albu-

sufferers relief law, passed by
the last Legislature and which
increases the territorial debt to
the extent of fifty thousand dol
lars, is void because it is in viola
tion of the third section of the
act of congress known as the
Springer Act"
Second. Taxation, authorized
by the act of February 4th, 1905,
upon all taxable property in the
territory to purchase seed grain
and supplies for farmers
temporarily embarrassed in thir-
teen counties only, isunalthorized
and void, the same being for a
private and not for public
purpose.
Third. The act of February
4th, 1905, is special and local
legislation, because of the
arbitrary limitation of its opera
tion to a single year and to only
thirteen out of the twenty-five
counties of the territory, and is
therefore prohibited by the first
section of the Springer Act"
The decision by Judge McFie
is upon an action brought by Hon.
Il. B. Catron of Santa Fe, to
enioin the territorial treasurer
and territorial auditor from issu-
ing certificates of Indebtedness to
provide funds to meet the APP
preparations carried by the bill.

equip large portion of the Textile
Building, so have manufacturers OF
agricultural machinery offered to do
nate machines for the hall of ma
chinery. This will enable the students
to become familiar with the different
kinds of agricultural machinery, and
during Fair Week farmers visiting
the Fair can learn of the most des1r-
able patents for the especial use, or
the remedies for impediments which
they have found for those they have.
This was one reason for placing the
building convenient to access from
the Fair grounds.
When the Legislature of 1908 re
fused to make appropriation for the
Agricultural Building, and put the
burden upon the fertilizer tax, it also
compelled the Board to appropriate
$4,000 per annum to the current ex-
penses of the college, i. G., to pay for
the education of the artisans, cleo
tricians. and engineers, etc, who
compose nearly threefourths of the
students. This, of course. interfered
with the proper work of the Board by
reducing the amount available for its
purposes. Governor Aycock, seeing
the injustice of this, recommended to
the present Legislature the repeal of
the act. This was done, the repeal,
ing bill passing the House without
opposition, though fought in the Sen
ate with considerable vigor.
I desire to call especial attention
to acts of this nature, i. e., to divert
any portion of this tax-the fertilizer
tax paid only by farmers-to pur-
poses other than as related to the
farmer; or that after the farmer has
paid his taxes to the general or spe-
cial purposes of the State. he shall be
required to furnish by a special tax a
special contribution for purposes in
which he has no interest beyond that
of the average citizen. [ hope the
farmers will see that those whom they
elect as representative in the Legis-
lature shall be men who will not thus
impose unfair and unjust burdens un-
on them.
have thus endeavored to show the
work of the Board of Agriculture
Farmers, | regret to say, are ever
ready to hear and heed criticism ad-
verse to their brethren, and, as a
class. they have thus been induced to
aid in bringing injustice upon them
selves and to hinder the efforts of
their brethren along lines for their
betterment. These things ought not so
to be. | earnestly urge that each read
er individually give the work of the
Board. whether on legitimate work in
their line or special work in connec-
tion with the A. e M. College, care
full attention and support and en-
courage all measures you may az
prove. And when you may differ,
give them the benefit of your advice,
remembering that perhaps you, and
not they, are mistaken.
North Carolina has now a Board
of Agriculture the equal i'll aggres-
siveness and efficiency to that of any
State. If you will acquaint your
selves with its work. give it the bene-
fit of suggestions that occur to you
in regard to it, and an unwaverine
support in all measures which merit
it, it's labors will inded be a blessing
to the farmers. and thus to the entire
State. W. A. GRAHAM.
