The Santa Fe Legislature.

There is a situation in the New
Mexico legislature which some of the
republican papers denounce as scan
dial and which others, especially the
Santa Fe New Mexican, defend as
quite proper.
1t concerns the appointment of
ninety-four employees of the legisla-
ture whose payroll for the session the
New Mexican roughly and conserva-
lively estimates at S17 700 or 10000
more than the new federal appro-
priation of $4,000. The New Next
can assures its readers that these en-
ployes were selected with great care
and with especial reference to their
competency.
The Albuquerque Journal goes more
into detail. 1t publishes list of the
sixty house employees with the per
diem of each. There are thirty-nine
persons of Mexican names, eight
with English names and five pages,
five messengers and ''six. employees
allowed to Mr.. Bursum," whose
names are not published. At any
rate the daily payroll of the house is
1923 or Sl3, $3.50 for the session. These
sixty employees are exclusive of the
employees allowed by the federal
government.
The council has twenty-six en-
ployes in addition to the federal en-
ployes and the average daily payroll
is 1874 or $11,640 for the session.
Thus the total cost for attaches is
$25, O2O, which sum is 5000 in excess
of the amount paid employees two
years ago.-Liberai.

A Bill Affecting Railroads.

Among the many bills introduced
at the present session of the Arizona
legislature is an act providing for
the appointment of a railroad COM
mission for Arizona. The bill is al
most an exact copy of the existing
law in Texas. The bill provides TOR
commission of three to be APP
pointed by the governor to be known
as the Arizona Railroad commission
and shall have power to fix all neces-
sary charges and regulations to gov
ern and regulate railroad rates and
passenger traffic, also to correct all
abuses and prevent unjust discrimi-
nation or extortion in the rates of
freight and passenger tariffs. 1t is
also given the power to fix rates for
express companies different from the
rates fixed for railroads.
The copper era., 1907-02-14

A PETITION has been signed by the
business men of Yuma asking that
the territorial prison be removed
from that place. The people there
have arrived at the conclusion that
the penitentiary there is detriment
to the town. Heretofore the people
of Yuma have fought the proposition
of removing the prison, and were
successful in their effects. That the
prison should be removed there is no
room for argument, and now that all
opposition has been withdrawn the
legislature should lose no time in
providing for new institution at
some central point in the territory.
The legislature should also provide
ways and means for making the in
stitution self-supporting. The tax
payers have grown weary of support
ing criminals in idleness.
The copper era., 1907-02-14

ABOUT the only thing so far &C
complished by the New Mexico legis-
lature has been the opportunity of
about three clerks for each member.
There is a big row on between the
young republican governor, who
seems determined to run the party
and the territory with d big stick
and the republican leaders who do
not acknowledge him as boss. This
fight has clogged the wheels of legis-
lation. The members of the legisla-
ture are attempting to strip the. gov
crnor of the powers heretofore ex-
ercised by him of appointing district
attorney, county officials, when
vacancies occur, etc, but His Excel
lency will not attach his signature to
the bills. The democratic members,
who always enjoy republican row,
are with the governor, hence meas
ures Objectionable to him cannot be
passed over his veto by the necessary
two-thirds majority. Nobody seems
to know what the row is about,
neither do they appear to care, but
the friction is increasing all the
time, and the probability is that no
legislation of any Importance will
be passed. The legislature would do
a graceful thing to adjourn and go
home, but the attaches, who are
drawing their per diem will not per-
NIT this, and the fun must therefore
go on to the end.
