Resolutions
We, the atic-lndependent-R
publicans of Santa Fe County, New
Mexico, in convention assembled do
hereby resolve:
l. That we believe in the admin
stration OF county affairs, that the
welfare of all the people should be
considered before the aspirations of
any individual for political or personal
advancement; and we denounce the
selfish and short sighted policy wheil
has been pursued by the so-called Re-
publican aggregation, particularly as
evidenced by the ticket recently
placed before the voters of this coun-
ty by that ring ruled and boss con.
trolled convention.
2. We pledge that our candidates
II elected, will work for an economical
and efficient administration of county
affairs reducing the taxes wherever
possible, and above all, making an
especial effort to secure value re-
ceived for every dollar of the public
funds expended
B. We believe in. and demand, of
our county officials a fair and Just
assessment, not only with the object
of reducing the tax rate but particu-
larly for the purpose of securing an
equitable adjustment between the tax.
es to be paid by the rich man and the
poor man.
A. We believe in the public school
system as an educator and enlightener
of the people and urge upon our Off
cials and upon all of our citizens the
necessity of taking advantage of the
opportunities of a free education at
their hands as well as the expan-
sion and further perfection of our pub
lie school system now existing in our
Territory.
5. That it is the sense of this con-
vention that the next legislative as
sembly of the Territory of New Mex

providing for the holding of primary
elections, and that our members of
the next Legislative Council and
House of Representatives be and they
are hereby instructed to use all means
within their power to have such a
law passed by the next session of the
Legislative Assembly.
6. We believe that the question of
joint statehood is not political or
partisan in its character, and recon-
mend that each voter act upon that
question as his conscience and best
Judgment dictate.
Z. We believe that "public office |
is public trust and not "priyate
snap, and so submit for the consiJ- |
