The Tucumcari news. [volume] (Tucumcari, N.M.) 1905-1907, 1906-03-17

The Washington Post has an
editorial commenting rather Sc
verely upon the law of this terri.
tory which makes it impossible for
a man accused of a crime, and
convicted in lower court, to car
ry his case to a higher tribunal
unless he can raise money enough
to pay certain costs. The Santa
Fe New Mexican copies the Posts
article and adds:
The above is too strong in
some of its language, but, upon
the whole, the New Mexican be-
lieves the end of justice would be
better satisfied were the New
Mexico statutes in criminal appeals
from the district courts to the ter
rltorial supreme court to be chang
ed. A defendant in whose case it
is proven absolutely and beyond
cavil that he cannot raise the nee
essary funds to print the record
and the briefs should have such
printed at the cost of the county
in which the crime was committed
and in which he was indicted and
tried. The New Mexican hopes
that the next Legislature, be it state
or territorial, will take this hint.
1t is not the Conley case this paper
is considering. 1t simply believes
in general rule that would enable
men charged with crime and con-
victed in the lower courts and who
are too poor to pay the costs to
have their cases reviewed in the
highest courts to which they can
have resort. The Conley case is
closed and the New Mexican be-
lteves rightly and lawfully. Never
theless, in the interest of human
ity and in the cause of fair and
even-handed justice, the right of
appeal on account of poverty or
inability to pay for the record and
briefs, should not be denied any
person in this great country,
whether in Illinois or New Mexi-
CO, in New York or in California. ;"

SETTLERS ARE FLOCK.
ING TO TVCUMCARI
Commercial Club Has Attra cted
Their Attention to Available
Land and Every Train
Brings Them


Six months ago nu umber of the
leading citizens of Tucumcari met
and organized a commercial club
for the purpose of putting before
the people of this and other Sec
tions the advantages of Tucumcari,
and the results have been mar
velous.
This statement was made this
morning by Col. T. w. Heman,
one of the first men to locate per-
manently in that town, who is
spending the day in El Paso.
Our country, including all of
Quay County, is improving very
FAST" said he. In the county
there are 100000 acres of gov
ernment land that is controlled by
a few ranchers. All this is valu-
able agricultural land, and TO get
the eyes of the people turned this
way, the commercial club got into
communication with John Sebas-
tian, general passenger traffic
manager of the Rock Island, made
him report of the agricultural
resources of the country and of the
government land in the county,
very little of which, at this time,
had been taken up.
Since opening correspondence
with him, he has directed COM
munications to the commercial
club, and has made it possible for
that organization to point out to
homeseekers the government land
that may be had under the home
stead law.
The results have been phenom-
enal. Within the last three months
there have been made in Quay
County and around Tucumcari,
1900 homestead entries of 100
acres each, with total of 24o, 900
acres. So completely has all the
land about the town been taken in
this way that there is hardly de-
sirable location to be found within
seven miles of the town.
Every train brings in more
tourists, who are out for homes.
On Wednesday of this week one
train alone brought in I6o, and
you can imagine what a crowd
that was in a place the size of our
town. Tucumcari is less than
four years old, and has never had
a boom, but all the time the
growth has been steady, and there
are now a number of most sub
stantial buildings in the place.
Our court house cost SIS, 900, and
is one of the best in the territory.
Our school house was erected at a
cost of SO, 900 and will soon have
to be considerably enlarged to

In whatever direction a man may
turn In searching the King county
assessment rolls for 1906 he will
find that Il Is the rule and not the
exception that the less valuable the
property the more heavily It Is as
sessed as compared with It's actual
value. while the more valuable the
property tho more lightly Il has
been valued by the assessor and his
deputies.
A pertinent example OF this Is
found Ia the assessment made In
Sarah a. Bells addition and In
sarah a Bells Second addition
These additions lie ia the Westlake
boulevard district. both OF them eX-
tending across the new portion OF
the boulevard. the first one north
OF Pike q. and the second one Just
south of Denny way Owing 10 the
rapid Increase In values In the dis
trict due TO opening the street and
for other reasons the market for
property In the district has been
very active. aud a large number
Of sales have been recorded during
the current year. These sales and
the prices recorded as having been
paid for the property furnish a re-
liable index TO actual market val
ues with which TO compare the as.
sessed valuations fixed by the as
SCISSOR.
