Santa Fe, N. NJ. Feb. THE dis
| trict attorney bill still sleeps soundly
in the Council Committee on Judicia-
ry. The provision whereby the dis
trict attorneys are to be selected by
| the Council for the interim between
this and the time of the next gener-
| al election does not appear to be very
| popular, and it is now reasonably GER
tain that the bill in its present form.
cannot pass. 1t is believed that a
substitute bill will be offered which
/ will simply provide for the election
and leave the appointing power as
it is until that time. No objection
could be urged against this plan on
the ground that it would afford pro-
| lection to some of the members of
the old gang and it is reasonably GER
tain that this plan would have the
solid support of the members of the
Council who are now opposing the
present bill on the ground that some
of the district attorneys might be
inclined to wink at certain alleged
violations of the law by prominent
politicians.
4 is not DSll0fou That there ~Oulu
be any more serious opposition to a
district attorney bill providing for
their election at the next general
election than there was to the bill
providing that the boards of county
commissioners of the various counties
of the Territory shall fill vacancies
in county Offices, and this bill pass
ed the council without opposition save
as to an amendment which provides
that the act shall go into effect thir-
ty days after its passage. The origin
4 al bill provided that the act should
go into effect Immediately.
If the legislature contemplates that
the expenses for additional employees
shall be kept within the $4,000 that
a recent act of congress permitted to
be appropriated out of the funds OF
the territory, it will be gecessary to
reduce the number of employees for a
portion of the session or reduce their
pay At the rate which expenses have
been incurred for the first three weeks
the expenses of the session will run
several thousands of dollars over the
amount authorized by congress, but
II is pretty certain that the governor
win veto any appropriation bill which
contemplates an expenditure greater
than the act of congress allows.

ON Thursday morning by Gallegos to
