FINE RECORD Of
ARTHUR SEL|GMAN
Chairman Member
Board of Comm
issioners.
GREAT GOOD ACCOMPLISHED
For Santa Fe County Dur
ting Six Years Honest
Faithful Service.

DO YOU favor good county roads?
Do you favor rigid economy in
county affairs?
Do you favor good county bridges?
Do you favor settlement and reduc.
ton of county debt?
Do you favor a clean and honest ad-
ministration?
Do you favor the equalization of
axes and just assessments?
DO you favor new up-to-date jail9
The foregoing questions were pro
pounded to the voters of Santa Fe
County six years ago by Arthur Seig-
man who was then candidate for
member of the Board of County Com
missioners. If they approved of
these things they were told to vote
for him.
Mr.. Seligman was elected sby safe
majority. Two years later he was a
candidate for the same position and
was reelected by an even larger ma
jority for the term of four years
Two years ago he was honored by
being chosen chairman of the board
by his colleagues. Although a great
many of his friends urged him to
make the race once more at the cleo
ton last fall he declined because OF
the demands made upon his time by
his personal business, and besides he
felt that he did not want to be monop-
olizing the office. That he would have
been reelected for the Third term
there is no doubt.
Six Years Continuous Service.
So Mr.. Seligman retired at the end
Of the year just closed after six years
of continuous service as county
commissioner and part of the time as
presiding officer of that body. That
he made an honest, faithful and pains
taking county servant is fact well
known to everybody familiar with the
| administration of Santa Fe County
during his incumbency in office, He
retires to private life with an enviable
record which his successors will dc
we'll to emulate. He has fulfilled all
of his campaign promises. The only
regret that he experiences upon his
retirement from the board is that he
was unable to secure a settlement OF
the bonded Indebtedness of the
county. He tried hard enough and
would doubtless have succeeded in Ell
fecting compromise but for the med
ding of outsiders.
i Arthur Seligman has been stauncf
friend of the taxpayers OF the county
during his career as a county com
missioner and incidentally the bant
! OF the tax dodgers. BY his aggressive
and businesslike administration he
mas set the pace for other members OF
4 the Board of Commissioners. During
the six years that he has been~in OF
| fice he has been largely Instruments
In the making of permanent improve
ments throughout the county, totalins
an expenditure of close to $50,00O
This was done too without saddlins
any unnecessary debt or burden OF
| the taxpayers In fact the taxes were
reduced rather tnan increased ant
upon his retirement he has the sci
: satisfaction Of knowing that the fin
ances of the county were never in bet
ter condition. A healthy balance is IL
. the treasury now where few year,
ago there was debit OF unpaid war
rants. BY judicious management and
"a watchful eye on the leaks this was
lpossible.

BURLINGTON BOOKS
POORLY KEPT.
Unable to Give
Statistics on
Damages.
CATTLE RATES FROM TEXAS
Investigated By Interstate
Commerce Commission
Santa Fe Involved.

Chicago, Jan. S.-The inquiry into
the Management and trade arrange
ments Of the Hartman lines was not
taken up at the first session of the
Interstate Commerce Commission to-
day. 1T was announced, however, by
Chairman Knapp that it would prob
ably be called up later in the day
Cattle rates and terminal charges at
Chicago on shipments of live stock
occupied the opening session.
Burlington Failed to Furnish sta
tstics.
Chester M. Dawes, of the Burling.
ton system asserted that it was moi
possible for him to furnish certain
statistics regarding shipments which
were required by Attorney Cowan,
representing the Cattle Growers AS
sociation OF Texas Attorney Cowan
declared that other roads had fur
nished these figures and that it should
be possible for the Burlington to do
the same. The matter was dropped
after some debate.
Traffic Affairs OF Hartman Lines.
The expected inquiry into the man
agement of the Hartman lines will
be in connection with the traffic ar
rangements and the financial side of
the question will not be taken up. Mr.
Dawes contended that the advance in
cattle rates was justified by the OK
cessive amounts of damage paid to
cattle shippers. Attorney Cowan
asked for the amount of damages paid
by the Burlington. Mr.. Dawes said
he did not have it and that the Bur.
lington road had not kept it's books in
such shape as to render the figures
available.
Rebuked BY Commissioner Prouty.
"You come here and justify the ad'
yanced rates." said Commissioner
Prouty, "by claiming damages and
decline to say what these damages
are. That is hardly fair. If you have
not kept your hooks as you should
that does not alter the facts in the
case"
How Matter Was Finally Adjusted.
Perhaps not" said Mr.. Dawes
but we have not so kept our books.
The matter was finally settled by a
statement from Mr.. Dawes that the
damages of the Burlington did not ex
coed those on the Santa Fe and he
would accept the authoritative fig
lres given by that line as represent
ing the same condition on the Bur
| lington.
kendrick Said Rates Were Low.
J. w. Kendrick, vice president OF
the Santa Fe system was the next wit
ness. He declared he considered the
present rates ON cattle from Texa:
to be unreasonably low

County Was in Bad Shape.


When Arthur Seligman first as
sumed his duties as county colnmis-
sioner in 1901 there was hardly cent
in any of the county funds and unpaid
warrants amounting to about $1,000
which were not cashed because there
was no money to pay them AT the
end of the first six months these
warrants were all paid although it
was necessary to pro rate them at
fifty cents on the dollar However,
since that time all warrants drawn on
the county have been paid promptly
and cashed on their face value, On
January ], 1905, the statement of the
county treasurer and ex-oiiicio collec-
tor showed that the cash on hand in
the treasury was $15,176.7O. On jan
nary /, 1906, the cash balance had
jumped to $21 ,994.35 and on July 1.
1906, the money in the county's strong
box was S25,376.2S. In the eighteen
months from January l. 1905, to Inly
1, 1906, there had been an actual ~.

BUTTE POLICE WAR
REACHES ACUTE STAGE.

Butte, Mont, May 2t,-rhe police
war reached an acute stage here to-
day, when Mayor Corby's appointecs to
the force brought quo warrantu pro-
ceedings in the district court against
the hold-over policemen from the last
municipal administration. The hold
overs refuse to resign until the council
confirms Mayor Corby's men and the
council refuses to confirm anybody
named by Mayor Corby Butte thus
has two police forces, neither recog-
nizine the other. and each demanding
salary. Meanwhile criminals arrested
by either may contest the legality of
the arrest, until the issue between the
policemen is settled. The miN-up has
attracted thugs OF every description to-
the city. The council Is Democratic
and Mayor Corby "a a Republican and
the dispute is purely partisan.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS
aIAYoNNAIsE DREssING.

The Kingsley restaurant Of Chicago
was for many years famous for its may
onnaise dressing, and this IS the re-
cipe: Put in a bowl two or more raw
yolks, little dry mustard. and stirring
in drop by drop olive oil; then some
salt. then lemon juice or vinegar; also
by drops alternately with the oil, con-
tinuing TO thicken it by adding oil and
thinning with vinegar and lemon juice
until a sufficient quantity has been
made. There must be twice as much oil
used as vinegar. Two points to OBJ
serve are 10 begin stirring the yolks
with only a few drops OF oil at the
start; and TO add the salt after one
third the oil is in. a teaspoonful pow
dered sugar and pinch of cayenne to
finish. Two yolks will take up a cup
full Of oil. The sauce should be thick
enough to spread over dome of salad
without running of. 1t becomes hrmer
by standing on ice a few hours.
