A NEW MEXICO GRAFT.

Colfax County Stockman.
The Territory of New Mexico has
a Goa oil inspection law and a Terri
torial coal oil inspector who receives
one cent per gallon on every gallon
of oil shipped into the Territory. The
law is an Infamous and unjust one,
and the -inspectorship a position of
veritable graft. Most of the oil han
died in New Mexico ome from the
Continental Oil Company at Trinidad,
and the parties in charge of the agen-
cy there do not know the New Mexi-
CO inspector, never have seen him,
although he has been in Office almost
one year. But at Trinidad the oil COM
pany has the stencil of the inspector,
'Inspected-Approved, E. Romero, Coal
Oil Inspector, Ter. of N. Mex" which
they slap onto every package them,
selves, and the inspector never sees
it. Thus the oil company ~inspects
its own product n the consumer
pays one cent a gallon for the privi-
lege OF having a coal oil inspector,
who, it is said, never sees a gallon
of the oil.
Thus it appears hat the only du-
ty incumbent on the inspector is to
collect his one cen per gallon on all
coal oil and gasoline coming to the
Territory.
Then of course it is the duty of the
oil companies to add that one cent
to the price If oil to the consumes

The Republican newspapers object
to a non-partisan statehood conven-

Gratis will endeavor to take care of
the interests of the people against
the we'll known grafters of the pres

fair all the way through in this state

port the administration scheme to de-
prive the West of its proper represen-

opposition to jointure. 1t appears that
the Republicans will take advantage
Of the good natured lot of Democrats,

the support of the interests of all the
people, and let the results be what
they may.-Albuquerque Advertiser.
