some legislation along this line.
Something like this: to give the
voters o: the county, or in each

to vote for road tax Ito be col
lected with other taxesl say
one dollar or more per male from
2l TO 45 years of age, and a
small levy on personal and real
property, and exempt all from
road duty. We could then take
this tax money and hire the
roads worked by contract or 9th

on the original account that IL had
been approved by the board, and i'm
press II with the county seal. When
the bank had accumulated a bunch OF
these approved accounts it sued the
county, aud got judgement for the
amount. The commissioners promptly
levied a tax called the judgementlevy,
TO pay this account. Some Of the tax
payers paid the tax, aud some refused
TO pay II. The largest taxpayer who
refused to pay the judgement levy,
was the first one to refuse, was the
Santa Fe railroad company. Col Gray
son, since dead, explained to the com.
m~issloners, how righteous It was for a
county, as well as an individual, to
pay all honest debts, and suggested
that the county sue the Santa Fe road
for these delinquent taxes, and the
suit was commenced, and won 10 the
district court. The Santa Fe, prompt
ly and properly, appealed the case to
the supreme court OF the territory,
which held that the Bateman law was
good law and the debts were null and
void. BY this time Col. GraYson was
dead, but the bank still had a pull
with the commissioners, and showed
them that by spending a few dollars
the case could be appealed to the su-
preme court OF the United States, and
II the county won a large noun Of
money would be paid into the county
treasury, and IL 1t lost the expense

horse men say, a hundred to one shot.

missiOners had been recently elected,

payers won II the case was lost, and
that IL the Ease was Won the money
would not go into the county treasury,
but would go to the bank. The com
m~lssioners later owned they had been
worked, but the appeal was taken.
Last week the supreme court handed
down a decision 10 the case, unfolding
the supreme court Of the territory, and
now the Bateman law has been TO the
highest court in the country and there
decided to be good law. The taxpayers
of the territory owe a great deal to U.
S. Bateman, for securing the passage
OF the law which puts a limit to the
amount the county commissioners car
expend, and to the Santa Fe road FOL

For many years the officers of the
various counties OF New Mexico, espe.
cially OF Grant county, spent money
layishly. II the county treasurer did
not have the cash TO pay the bills the
warrants on him were easily negotiat-
cd, at a discount, and the county debt
would accumulate, much Of II 10 the
vaults OF the banks. When this would
get to respectable proportions a com.
PLEASANT legislature would pass an en-
abling act, and the debt would be
funded into interest bearing bonds,
and the overdrafts on the treasury
would continue. A number OF years
ago a nan was sem to the legislature
from the Pecos country named Bate
man, who had some original notions
regarding county finances. He con-
ceived the idea that there should be a
restriction put on the county commits
sioners, aud that they should be al
lowed 10 expend but a certain amount
OF money each year, aud that they
should be taught TO cut the garment
according TO the cloth. He introduced
and secured the passage OF the law
which has since been known as the
Bateman law. This law prohibited the
issuing OF a county warrant unless
there was the money 10 the treasury 10
meet 1t, and provided that each years
taxes should be used 10 pay the ex-
penses Of the same year, and not the
debts Incurred In previous years. II
enough money was not raised TO pay
the expenses Of the year 1t was TO be
divided among the county c~redltors.in
proportion 70 the AMOUNT owed them,
and the balance OF the debts were not

taxes for that year came in 10 pay
them. The new law did not make
much difference In this county. The
commissioners instead OF Issuing coun-
" warrants would have the clerk note

THE Eagle is the name Of a new

years Judge Loomis published the SEN
tlnel in Silver City, aud later the

lector of internal revenue he appoint
ed Judge LOOMS as a deputy, and he
continued TO hold the position during
the time that Judge Morrison held the
ofice. On the appointment of Collec.

and again took up the newspaper work.
In spite Of the fact that the judge
held Office under a republican admins

usual with him, he gets out an inter
esting paper, and with Col. Frost
watching him he probably will con-
