Torreon, N. M, July 10, 1907
Dear Teacher::-I desire to call your
attention to the fact that the Normal
School will open at Estanca on the 22
Of July, 1907 at 10 a. m., and l greatly
urge your attendance and assistance.
1t is of the greatest Importance that
you attend this school, as it will enable
you to learn new methods and new sys-
TENS of training, and help to keep the
schools Of our county in the lead, in the
line of education. If you are interested
in teaching in this county, as | believe
that you are, then you are compelled
to attend this Normal, and take the ex-
animation, except you hold certificate
from previous year still in force and
effect. My rule will be that in order to
be "Qualifed Teacher" no matter
whether Negro, Indian, American or
Native, you must have attended the
Normal
No permits will be allowed unless for
very satisfactory reasons and in case of
extreme necessity. Teachers having
taught under permits here before, will
not be granted permits again, as this is
absolutely forbidden under the new law
Unless | can get qualified teachers,
| shall have to postpone the school
terms until another year.
| hope you will be in attendance at
the Normal, that you will pass a good
examination and that you will be one of
the Qualified Teachers of our county.
Yours sincerely,
Juan C. Jaramillo,
Supt. of Schools.

FROM KANSAS OR
Any OTHER STATE
New Mexico Laws Not for Them says Attorney
General

Attorney General Prichard during
last week, refused Arthur Trelford,
recently thrown out of office as super
intendent of the New Mexico peniten-
tiary by the gang, after so-called in
vestigation, permission to use the name
of the territory in bringing quo war;
ranto proceedings to try the right of
the new appointee to the Office This
would have brought the matter into
open court where the grave and impair
tial (O attorney general could not con-
troll the records and would have given
the dear people too much insight into
the truth of the state of affairs, so of
course it must be refused.
In refusing the request the attorney
general made use Of the following ex-
traordinary language: "You are ad-
vised that this office does not believe
that it is to the interest of the territory
or to it's people to permit citizen o.
Kansas, or any other state, to use
the name Of the territory against a
citizen of the territory to try the title
to an office created by the local legis-
lature and supported by the taxpay-
ers of the territory, and hence your re-
quest is denied"
Such an unheard of proceeding as
Mr.. Prichard has instigated would de-
prive almost every citizen of the whole
Estancia Valley of every vestige of
right in the courts, as most of our peo-
pie here have come from kansas or
some other state" since Mr. Trelford
came to New Mexico. How long will
the people stand for such procedure?

Registers a Kick.

In the course of human events, it be-
comes necessary for every bona fide
citizen of the territory of New Mexico
and county of Torrance to help and as
sist every effort that will better the
condition in all things, both private
and public. AS citizen of this coun-
ty, have observed the workings of GER
tain political rings that are detrimental
to the best interests of our county and
especially to the territory of New Mex
leo, and the one thing that is shame
and an outrage to this town of Estancia
and vicinity is the appointment of the
present incumbent of our postoffice,
through the influence of w. H. (BulD
Andrews, our delegate to Congress.
A man who has been in the town only
about 60 days, who is not acquainted
with the people and country, has been
appointed. Mail has been received
that has lain in the office for seven or
eight days by some of our businessmen,
who call daily for their mail 1t is of
frequent occurrence for the mail of one
firm to be placed in the boxes of others,
and it is high time for the people of
this town. the county seat of one of the
best countries of New Mexico, to have
at least an efficient postmaster

LaCerdt6s Fingers.

The ten-year-old son of E. L. Gar
vim, living northeast of Estancia, met
with an accident on Tuesday of this
week, which might have proven much
more serious than it did. Workmen
had used dynamite in dislodging casing
in a we'll, and had overlooked a few of
the caps, leaving these lying nearby.
The lad found one, and boy-like wanted
to see it explode. Holding it in one
hand, he applied match with the other
The ends of the first and second finger
and the thumb of the left hand were
blown off, powder being blown into his
body from head to toe. 1t is miracle
that he was not killed outright. Mr..
Garvin stated yesterday that the boy
was doing as nicely as could be expect
ed and unless some complication arose
would shortly be as good as new.

ManzanO Dau.

The Manzano Day picnic promises to
be as we'll attended this year as usual,
if not more so. A number of Santa Fe
people have intimated their intention
to be present and participate in the
festivities. This has grown to be no
common affair, and interest in the old
trees is being awakened which will re-
suit in their being cared for, and not
neglected as in years past. Agoodpro

clple OF the present tariff law
could not with wisdom be changed.
But in a country of such phenom-
enal growth as ours 1t is probably
we'll that every dozen years or so
the tariff laws should be carefully
scruttnlzed so as TO see that no ex-
:cesstve or improper benefits r
conferred thereby. that proper rev.
enue Is provided. and that our for
elgn trade Is encouraged. There
must always be as a minimum u
tariff which will not only allow for
the collection OF an ample
but which will at least make good
the difference in cost OF production
here and abroad: that Is, the Diff
ference In the labor cost here and
abroad. for h we'll being Of the
wage-worker must ever be a card
inal point Of American policy. The
question should be approached pure
~ from a business standpoint:
both the time and the of
the change being such as to arouse
turbance in the business world. and
to give the least play for selfish
and fractional motives. The sole
consideration should be to see that
the sum total Of changes repre-
sents the public good. This a
that the subject can not with wis.,
dom be dealt with in the year pre-
ceding a presidential election. be-
as a matter OF fact expert
ence has conclusively shown that
at such q time 1t is impossible to
get men to treat 1t from the stand
point OF the public good. In my
judgment the wise time to deal
with the matter Is Immediately af-
ter such election.

Wasn't It Strange?
From ~Lippincott'S,

A New FORK publisher tells of an
Indiana man who came to the big city
for h purpose of placing a move Of
tic over the prospects e.ne.
cfally as 90 many OF his friends at home
had succeeded in finding a market in
New York for their stories.
Then began the wearisome round of
the publishers offices, with the novice's
usual luck: One day. just before his
departure for the Hoosier state he met
an acquaintance who knew of his ambt-
tion. and who asked what luck he had
encountered.
THE worst possible" exclaimed the
Indfana' man. Tn the only Hoosier IN
New York Thu can't get a poor story

Income Tax and Inheritance Tax.

Income TAX and Inheritance Tax.
When our tax laws are revised the
question Of an income tax and an In
heritance tax should receive the careful
attention of our legislators. In my
judgment both Of these taxes should be
part of our system of federal taxa
ton. I speak dif1dently about the in
come tax because one scheme for an
income tax was declared unconstitu-
tional by the supreme court: while In
addition 1t is a difficult tax to adminis-
ter In its practical working. and great
care would ave to be exercised to see
that 1t was not evaded by the very men
whom 1t v-ns most desirable to have
taxed. for If SO evaded 1t would. OF
course. be worse thar no tax at all;
as the least desirable OF all taxes is the
AK which bears heavily upon the hon
est as compared with the dishonest
a Nevertheless, a graduated in
come tax of the proper type would be q
desirable feature OF federal taxation.
and it is to be hoped that one may be
devised which the supreme court will
declare constitutional. The Inheritance
tax. however, is both a far better
method &C taxation. and far more i'm
portant for the purpose OF having the
fortunes of the county bear in proper
ton to their increase in size u corre-
spending increase and burden OF tax
alton.

Should Be Elastic System.


Provision should be made for an
emergency currency. The emer-
gency issue should, Of course, be
made with effective guaranty. and
upon conditions carefully prescribed
by the government. Such emer-
gency issue must be based on ade-
Quate securities approved by the
government, and must be issued UNI
der IL heavy TAI. This would permit
currency being issued when the de-
mand for it was urgent, While Sc
curing its retirement as the demand
fell off,. 1t is worth investigating
to determine whether officers and
directors OF national banks should
ever be allowed to loan to them
selves. Trust companies should
be subject to the same supervision
as banks; legislation to this effect
should be enacted for the District
OF Columbia and the territories.
