GOVERNOR CURRY
VISITS FL PAS0

Governor George Curry. the cowboy
and rough rider governor Of New
Mexico, was in Ell Paso this week.
after completing a tour OF the terri
tory for the purpose of visiting the
various public institutions. The gov
ernor was interviewed by the FL Pas,
Herald and spoke enthusiastically OF
the favorable outlook for statehood
and OF the prosperous conditions in
New Mexico:
Il do not Know il we viii be sue
cessful in getting single statehood
bill before congress at this winters
session." said Governor Curry. 1T is
possible that we VIII not be able TO
get Ii considered until after the next
election, but we are going to do
some hard work between now and
the time of the converting of the next
and during the approaching session
and we have hopes that our effort wiz
be crowned with success.
The growing sentiment for single
statehood in New Mexico is shown by
the organization Of a statehood league
in almost every town and county in
the territory. But these leagues are
not necessary for the purpose or
creating local public sentiment for
single statehood the governor added.
The idea of these statehood
leagues is to get all the people who
favor statehood TO pull together 70 the
common point of statehood; to pre-
pare and send out literature broad
cast over the country pleading for
statehood for New Mexico; TO create
acountrywide sentiment Tor state
hood and use the combined influence
of every citizen of the territory upon
the people of the country to demand
statehood for New Mexico.
That New Mexico is entitled to
statehood no one will doubt VINO has
given the matter one minutes
thought. The census of 1900 gave the
: territory slightly over 10000 popula-
ton. Today New Mexico has q pop
ulation of over 100000 and people are
coming into the territory By every
I, train, locating homes and building uH
/ the territory In wealth. BY the cen.
sus of 1910 New Mexico, firmly be-
lieve, will have population greatly
in excess of half a million and shs
/ cannot be denied statehood upon heI
/ claims
New Mexico was never in a more
prosperous condition. Never in her
history has her growth been so rapid
and pronounced as within the past
few months. The tide Of immigra-
ton is only just setting New Mexico
forward and before it ends New Next
co can boast of the most populous re-
gions and one of the most prosperous
/ farming and industrial regions of the
entire southwest or west"

WHAT sHoRr-rnRM NOTES ARE.

Short-term notes are usually issued
in coupon form, $1,000 each. In most
cases the notes may be registered as
to principal in the names of the own
ers, in the same manner as bonds.
Unlike bonds, however, short term
notes are not usually secured by a
mortgage upon property. On the other
hand, they are sometimes secured by a
pledge of collateral; that is, there is
deposited with a trustee casually a
lwell-known and responsible trust com
pany), bonds or stocks, or both, owned
by the company is using the notes.
These bonds and stocks are pledged bx
! the company as security for the hold
ers Of the notes until the entire issue
is redeemed or paid off. AS related to
| the desirable issues, the amount of
bonds and stocks pledged as collateral
should have a market value equal to
at least the par value of the entire Is
sue of notes, In some cases the amount
of collateral pledge as security Is from
| 10 to rs per cent. in excess of the par
value of the notes. From the view
point of the noteholders, the chief
value of the collateral is to be determ-
ined by the price it would command if
| it had to be sold for their protection.
Short-term note issues not secured by
pledge of collateral are often regarded
as just as safe and conservative in
vestments as secured notes. Whether
short-term notes are secured or unse-
cured, their safety and desirability as
investments are determined, almost ex-
clusively, by the finacial strength and
credit of the issuing companies The
financial strength of a company is de-
pendent upon its assets, and the mar
gin of surplus earnings beyond fixed
charges. Fixed charges are obligatory
payments, including taxes, rentals, in
terests on bonds, etc, Thus, If cor
poration canot pay it's fixed charges it
forfeits, in much the same manner as
family would forfeit the right to live
in house if the landlord did not re-
ceive his rent. Stock dividends are not
fixed charges; in other words, their
payment is discretionary with directors
and not compulsory.-Success Maya
