 how about we Arizonaps, with. all to q lose and nothing Co gain by such a uniouf Tho political daddy longlcgs of Now Mexico are hilarious already over the thought of getting new and respectable name, after so badly tarn.
 ishing the one they have, and the Santa Fc New Mexican properly counts that all gain and no loss, know ing. as it does. that any and all
 schemes. for such they all thus far
 have been. emanating from New Mex.
 leo. whether bonds, Territorial or
 county, or SO called business proposi.
 tions. of whatsoever name or nature, are blackIistcd and blue pcnciled in
 all the prominent banking houses of
 all the great money centcrs and wby'
 Look at theml Ask these banking
 houses how about the New Mexico county railroad bonds which they pur'
 chased. the payment of which was af'
 tcrwards rcpudiated.
 Ask the Holland bondholders who
 pure chased the old Maxwell Land Grant company's bonds Ask the New York
 and Switzerland bondholdcrs who pur'
 chased the Pecos Valley Land and Ir.
 ripation company's bonds. These lat fer investors in New Mcxico's gilt
 edged securities have recently been de.
 lighted to accept n charitable gift from the United States government of *l5o,'
