A BILL has been introduced in con
gress making an extra appropriation
OF $4,000 for the expense of the New
Mexico legislature. The ~approprla-
lions made by congress are not large
enough to pay the legitimate expenses
OF the legislature, and the law pro-
hibits the legislature paying for any
extra help. To get around this law
the legislature has been In the habit
OF passing an appropriation for con-
tingent expenses, which appropriation
has been placed in the hands of the
chairmen of the finance committees
OF the council and house, and they
have hired the extra help. The appro-
priations have always been very lib
eral, and there never has been any
check on the chairmen, and much
scandal has resulted. 1t is to be hoped
that the appropriation will pass con-
gress, and the extra employees will be
left on the sheep ranches, OF I'm the
saloons at home this winter.

DURING the recent campaign for
city officers in Tucson the republican
platform called for a higher license
for saloons. The republicans carried
the city. The old officers were demo
Gratis. The first thing the democrats
did after election was to hoist the
saloon licenses to a thousand dollars.
They claimed that the people of
Tucson had declared i'm favor of high
license, and concluded that it would
not be wise to wait for the seating of
the new council, and 40 passed the
ordinance Immediately. On the side
the democrats claimed that the saloon
interest was working for the republic
can ticket, and that the newly elected
council had nc intention of raising
the license, and that the old demo-
cratic council made the raise to get
even.

A MERRY CHRISTMAS to all the
LIBERAL readers.

A JOINT resolution was introduced
in congress Saturday, and 1t will prob
ably carry, repeating the law passed
by the New Mexico legislature four
years ago providing that, in cases of
damage caused by a railroad company,
the injured person must within thirty
days make a claim for the damages,
and tell the company who his wit
hesses are, and give up all his testi-
mony regarding the accident. The
law also provides that all such suits
must be tried in the territory.

MONDAY Delegate Andrews intro
duced a bill in the house to revise the
federal statutes respecting office hold
ing in territories. The text of this
measure follows: "That no member
of the legislative assembly Of any ter
Titory now or hereafter organized shall
hold or be appointed to any office
whatever by the governor of such ter
ritory Dr. the legislature thereof dur
ing the term for which he was elected,
but this restriction shall not be appli.
cable to members Of the first legisla.
tive assembly in any territory here.
after organized" The bill further
provides: "That no person holding a
commission or appointment under the
United States, except postmasters,
shall be a member of the legislative
assembly or hold any office under the
government of any territory" The
bill was referred to the committee on
territories.
Western liberal. (Lordsburg, N.M.) 1887-1919, 1906-12-21

that the proper evidence was secured,
and none lost. The district attorney
was asked to come over, but he de-
clined to make the trip, and the peos
pie interested in the prosecution had
to hire an outside lawyer to look after
the case. Only by the work Of this OUT
side lawyer was q conviction secured.
If. district attorneys were elected,
instead Of appointed, they would be
looking after the interests Of the
voters, and trying to commend them
selves to them. II there vas an I'M
portant criminal case at the far end
Of the county the district attorney, If
he was elected, would attend the hear
ing before the justice, and explain to
the people that he was looking out'for
their interest, although at a large
expense IN time and money, and that
was the kind of a mar they should
re-elect. AS 1t is now, II the atten-
ton of the governor is called to the
lazy district attorney, the lawyer, II
he was enough OF a lawyer to secure
an appointment, would certainly be
enough Of q lawyer to put up a good
excuse, and 1t would be easier to con-
vince one man that he had adopted
the proper course than 1t would be to
convince a thousand voters that he
was not too lazy for his job.

UNDER the present arrangement the
district attorneys, as a rule, are COM
petent and honorable men, carefully
selected by the governor as men whom
he has good cas- to believe win ably
and honestly discharge the duties Of
the Office to which they are appointed
without fear or favor, and without
personal or party bias. And when a
man appointed to this office fails to
size up to this standard the governor,
rs a rule, promptly removes him, and
puts a better man In his place. But
how would It be II they were chosen
at the polls, In the hurly-burly of a
county Observation-Disclosures Jour
nal. There Is another view to take Of
the question, that Is seen By people
living at a distance from the county
seat. Experience has shown that the
district attorneys who have been APP
pointed in this section Of the world
are, normally, lazy, and they do not
get far from the county seat, their
place Of residence. Since the LIBERAL
has been printed iR Lordsburg there
have been several murders In this sec
tion Of country, as well as other Inn
pOrtant criminal cases. During all
that time no district attorney has
ever been here to look after a case.
Only last year there was a man here
accused Of attempting to poison a
man. IL was a case entirely Of cir
cumstantial evidence, and an expert
snced lawyer was required here 10 see

sion Of their profound sorrow for his loss

sagaoious. faithful political guide in their
official relations.
"A faithful friend. jealous and wise
party leader, eonsiderate and conciliatory
and careful of the interests of all. he
greatly endeared himself to his party
associates by whom his memory will ever
be most fondly cherished"
Senator Bacon also presented the fol-
lowing. which was adopted without dis
sent:
The democratic senator's in selecting

marked capacity. his great requirements
and large experience in congressional
work, and especially by his power as an
orator and a debator, to render to his
party associates the most signal and
valuable service as their chosen official
leader in the great forum of the senate
Of the United States"
Senator Blackburn thanked his col
leagues for the honor conferred on him.
The caucus Instructed the steering conf
mittee to meet next week and fill the
committee places made vacant by the
death of Senator German. The commit
tee was instructed to place Senator Gull

committee, Senator Clay on appropria-
tions, Senator Culberson canals and SEN
