GENERAL
REID INTERVIEWED

Attorney General w. C.. Reid was
seen this morning by a reporter of
the Record just prior to his departure
for Santa re by way of the automo-
bile, and asked for statement as to
the charges that have been fled
against Governor Hagerman. Mr.
Reid stated that he believed that it
was largely newspaper talk, and that
that had been started since ne left
Santa Fe, but that "it was in the
air. when he left there. He stated
that Governor Hagerman was not at
all worried over the matter, and that
his trip to Washington had been
planned long before any talk of
charges mad been heard.
Asked further as to what matters
are likely to come before the legis-
lature, he stated; that he believed
that among the most important
things would be the question of en-
tire new election laws; the placing
of the county officers on@salary; the
revision of the Territorial laws and
the enactment of a law providing for
the public printing. Under the pres
ent law the Territory pays about
double the price for printing that in
dividuals need pay. For instance, said
Mr.. Reid, when l assumed the Of
fee of Attorney General l had sew
eral briefs to be printed for the firm
of Reid & Hervey, at Roswell, and
several for the Territory. | gave
them all to the New Mexican with
out asking for prices. The Individual
briefs were returned with a bill of
zoe per page, which is the price we
pay at Roswell; the Territorial briefs
were returned with a bill for $1.25 a
page, and upon looking up the law
T 1@I1 Il ~, Ill
it. 1t would seem to me that some
Territorial officer, perhaps the aud
itor Or insurance commissioner, might
be made ex-officio public printer and
also manage the furnishing of sta
tionery and supplies for Territorial
officers with the proviso that the
printing should be done at the best
terms and prices, the same as any
large business firm would do in hav-
ing it's eprinting done.
Another thing that the legislature
will be confronted with is the crowd
of applicants for employment during
the legislative session. The United
States statutes expressly provide
that the legislature shall 1ot en-
ploy any additional officers or en-
ployees other than a translator and
interpreter for each house, than
those provided and paid for by the
United States; yet, Notwithstanding
this express provision in the con-
gressional act, former legislatures
have spent between fifteen and twen-
y-fve thousand dollars at each as
sembly of the legislature for addi-
tional employees. This is done by
means of passing law or resolution
providing lump sums of money for
contingent expense" and then get
ting some member of the legislature
with an elastic conscience to nan
die the money aid pay it out to ex-
ira employees. This is largely due
to the fact that the allowance for
employees by congress is not suff1-
cient, and wnen the legislature
breaks over the barrier for what
seems absolutely necessary, it goes
to the extreme of employing about
four men for each legis1S tor.
THESE ARE THINGS THAT
THE PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW,
FOR THERE IS NOTHING SO FA-
tai TO GRAFT AS PUBLICITY

ALBUQUERQUE FEELS
BEHIND IN PAVING.

General Crusade for Better Streets
Seems to Have Taken Hold of
Arizona and New Mexico.
From Albuquerque Journal.
A crusade for better streets ap-
pears to Ne sweeping over New Mex.
leo and Arizona. In practically every
large town in the Territory agitation
is under full headway for street i'm
provement in most cases taking the
form of request for paving of busi-
ness streets. Roswell is seriously con-
sidering the paving of its main busi-
ness street, and from the tone Of
the press comments something is to
be done in the very near future.
Albuquerque business men are al
most unanimously in favor of street
paving in the business center The
subject has been much discussed re-
Gently and the solving of the drain
age question and a definite report
by the council on what should be
done are being awaited with much
interest. The opi1ion seems to be
generally held that Albuquerque must
not be behind the rest of the south
western cities in this forward move
ment. Discussing street Improvement
and paving in the territories, the Ell
Paso Herald has the following:
Throughout New Mexico and Ari-
zona there is scarcely a town that
is not talking street paving in some
form
The least that any village deigas
to discuss is paved crossings-which
is more than Ell Paso mas, to her
deep disgrace be it said. Many of
the towns are talking of macadam
pavements, while several cities are
seriously considering laying a pave
ment of brick or btulithic ii the bu-
siness center.
There is not an intelligent citizen
of all these places who does not real
ize, as the newspapers evidently do.

Favors Alfalfa and Apples.

The following letter was written
from Roswell to 'The Earth a Chi
cago publication issued by the in1mi
grafton department of the Santa Fe
Railroad Company:
Editor of The Earth:-I believe
alfalfa and apples are the best paying
crops in the Pecos Valley, even for
the small farmer. l have forty acres
a mile and half from Roswell and l
believe that l will make more from
these two products than the men who
raise diversified crops on tract of
similar size.
l came here four years ago last
March from Bluefield, West Virginia.
and taking land with a good covering
of salt grass, have converted it into
nice home. | have 1S acres of alfal-
ia, II acres of apples and eight acres
in lawn, corral. reservoir site and
barn lot. My alfalfa has given me
four cuttings per year since the first
year and the apples are just begin
ming to bear. | expect good returns
from the orchard next year. The al
falfa has already paid me well. 1t is
as sure as summer comes that four
cuttings can be i'secured from alfalfa
and that a good crop of apples can
be harvested. The prices are always
good and the market sharp.
1 raise about hundred chickens
a year, but use mPst of them for my
own family. They are a fine paying
proposition if a man wants to look
after them. Two cows supply us with
butter and milk and help consider
ably on the grocery bill.

the tremendous ! losses that come
with bad weather and impossible
streets Unpaved streets and cross
ings in a city, like unimproved coun-
try roads, are the costl1est OF all
sniftlessness of which Americans are
guilty.
"It is good to see the territorial
press with such delightful unanimity,
take up the cause of improved streets.
1t means cleaner, better, buster, rich
er towns, and cleaner, better buster
richer citizens.

mar grades will not be barred from
the high schools, is the statement
made by President Altman of the
Board of Education yesterday. Accord
i1gly, if any Japanese see fit to Sc
cure a higher education in so far
as the public schools of the city can
make the pathway open for nim there
will be no bar after he passes thru
the Oriental school. 1t is only in the
grammar and primary grades that
any objection is made to the pres
ence of Japanese, and the chief OBJ
lection in these grades is to the ad-
mission of grown men.
Germany Much Interested.
Berlin, Dec. 15.-Tne relations be-
tween the United States and Japan
excite extraordinary interest both
il government and diplomatic circles
here. Emperor William discussed the
question with several persons rec
emily, and is thoroughly informed re-
garding President Roosevelt's perso-
nal views on the subject. 1t is be-
lieved that Russia's more resolute at
titude against Japan's request for
trade and colonization rights on the
Amur river and in Sibeyia and for
fishery privileges on adjacent Rus
sian coasts is partly due to the dis
cussion of the California school ques-
ton between the United States and
Japan.
