DISCRIMINATION ALLEGED
Claimed That Democrats Were Sc

Second Squad of Veniremen in Court
Today-Wo of Selecting
Jury to Proceed.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
LEXINGTON. Ky. Novem1er IS
When the second week OF the Caleb
Powers trial opened at Georgetown this
morning the iefans,'s attorney filed
motion To have the venire % 2.S men sum
moned from Harrison county. from which
to select jury. dismissed. In support
Of its motion the defense introduced a
witness To show that discrimination was
made in favor of the selection of demo
cratic veniremen, and that the : OFT
county sheriff was accompanied by
Harrison county deputy. who posted
them as To the men To summon.
This Harrison county deputy is declared
to be a rank GOnbel de mocrat. and II IA
claimed that il can be proved that on
numerous occasions he has expressed him
self as being IN favor of hanging Powers.
The examination of these witnesses VIII
occupy most of the day States Attorney
Franklin vigorously opposed the motion
to throw out the Harrison county venre.
and will produce witnesses to rontrovert
every claim OF unfairness and illegal pro-
cedure made by the defense.
Judge Morris after administering tbs
customary oath TO Sheriff Warning Of
Scott county and his deputies before
starting to Harrison county last Wednes-
day admonished them as to the manner
of selecting tn" Npnlrf and warned the
officers that if il were shown hlat the
panel was unfairly selected or diScrimina-
ton as to political utilization shown he
would SET aside the order and direct that
a new Venrc be summoned
Powers Recovered From Illness.
Powers appeared in court early today
with his attorneys. He has about recov-
cred from his recent illness and laughed
and chattad with those about him. Sew
eral ladies in the court room and all
evince deep interest in the prisoner.
Under the law of Kentucky Caleb Pow
ers is practically denied trial by intel
ligent men. The laws provide that man
is disqualified for jury service II he has
ever formed expressed an opinion from
reading or otherwise, regarding the guilt
or innocence OF any accused man.
On account of the great attention the
Goebel-ra ylor- Powers case has attracted.
If the strict letter of the law be adhered to
Powers must be tried by jury composed
of men who are not Intelligent enough to
hearsay. The only way to avoid this Is
for a venreman to swear that his opinion
could be changed by evidence.
The second squad of one hundred men
from Harrison county appeared IN
court today. and when the motion to set
aside their summons is decided by Judge
Morris they will either be dismissed or cx-
amined for service.
Seven jurors are in the box. as stated in

IN the city Of Roswell than the abo-
lition of licensed gambling It was
freely predicted by advocates Of gam
bling That business would be ruined
by driving out the gamblers, that
merchants would lose trade, that
the town would be filed with empty
buildings, that immigration would
fall off, that money would be scarce,
and all kinds of financial calamities
occur. However, former Mayor Hin
kle, the city council and the Daily
Record kept up their fight until the
victory was Won and the policy of
making Roswell a cleaner n bet
ter town endorsed by the Democratic
party as an organization, as well as
by citizens generally. regardless of
party. Business men who at first
were timid about expressing opinions,
some of them perhaps fearing the
threats of boycott made by the friends
of gambling, are now thoroughly con-
WINGED that the reform has paid in
moral uplifting of the community.
In his forthcoming message, Gov
ernor Hagerman will ask the legisla-
ture to pass a law prohibiting gam
bling throughout the Territory, and
the city of Roswell will be pointed to
as an example proving the wisdom of
such legislation. The Governor has
carefully prepared facts and figures
furnished MIN by Roswell business
men and will present some of these
statistics as argument in his mes
that there is not now a vacant bust,
ness house and hardly a vacant resi-.
dence in Roswell will be mentioned
as proof that the abolition of licens-
ed gambling has not injured the best
town in the Territory.
The Record regrets that so far the
district attorney or the county com.
missioners, or whoever is RESPONSE.
BILE, have not been able to prevent
the maintenance of a gambling joint
just outside the city limits, but be-
lieves this, too, will be abolished
soon, even if it does not die a natural
death from lack of patronage.

A FEW FIGURES ON
TAXES AND VOTES.

The Santa Fe Eagle, edited by A.
J. Loomis, one of the ablest newspa-
per men il the Territory, last week
published the following article in re-
gard to 'tax-dodging" and other mat
tiers:
"The comptometer in the New
Mexican office, which mas made so
many serious AID perplexing errors,
has refused to work. Undisputed evil
dence of this was given this week.
Last Monday the news editor of
the New Mexican printed, on the
first page of the paper, a classified
ton of counties in the territory, show
ing the amounts RENTED from each
to the territorial treasurer on ac-
count If territorial taxes.
On the second page the amateur
who temporarily, wiefds the editp-
rial pencil, believing it incumbent on
him to say something about tax dodg-
ers, printed the following:
"The great cattle kings in
southeastern New Mexico, especi-
ally those of the Texas demo-
cratic stripe, are 10 tax dodgers,
not they. They return about
80 to 35 per cent of their actual
holding of cattle for taxable pur-
poses. They are not tax dodgers,
not they. They claim to be the
best citizenship of the territory
n i've out of six vote any
kind of a democratic ticket. Tax
dodgers they are not, not they.
IF the comptometer had een in
working condition, even an amateur
would 1ever have made such a ser
ious blunder as to accuse the demo
Gratis of southeastern New Mexico of
being tax dodgers after publishing the
amounts paid by the various counties
for territorial taxes.
I'VE regret exceedingly the neces-
sity of calling il question the state
ments made in the above clipping.
Most of the Texas democrats in New
Mexico live in the counties of Roose-
welt, Chaves a1d Eddy. and, as these
counties are in the southeastern part
of New Mexico. we presume that
these are the counties meant.
According to the figures printed
il the New Mexican these counties
paid for territorial purposesl taxes

"Tnis shows an average payment
of less than $40 each by the voters
of these three Republican counties,
or only one-half as much per capita
as the Democratic voters pay il south
eastern New Mexico.
further. Chaves county paid $43,-
933.88 in Territorial taxes, the larg-
est amount paid by any county in
the Territory, though some of the
Republican counties cast more than
twice as many votes. It's vote at the
last election was 1905, of which
number 1,137 were Democratic. This
represents $27.35 paid in Territorial
taxes for each vote cast in that coun-
ty at the last election.
"Sa1doval county paid in Terrific
rial taxes $5,543.O6 n cast 1920
votes, of which number 829, or more
than 81 per cent, were republican.
This averages $5.43 paid per voter,
or less than one fifth the amount
paid by the voters of Chaves County.
How the amateur ever Tell i1to such
fell into such a mess as this is al
most beyond comprehension.
"Tnere are yet other republican
counties which suffer by the compari-
son with any of the democratic coun-
ties il southeastern New Mexico, as
well as with democratic counties in
other parts of the territory. Santa
Fe county, which elected every repub-
lican on its county ticket. pays con
siderably less han nalf as much ter
ritorial tax per voter as Grant coun-
ty, which elected every Democrat on
its county ticket.
"San Juan county, a Democratic
county pays more than forty per
cent more taxes than Taos county a
republican county, and there were
more than twice as many votes cast
in Taos as there were in San Juan.
Really, the New Mexicaa's compto-
meter should be fixed Immediately.
ct is little short of cruel to COM
pare the per capita payments in Taos
and Cnaves counties. The payments
in Taos were 1857 per voter as
against $27.35 in Caaves. The demo
cratic tax dodgers in Chaves county
each paying nearly eight times as
much as the taxpayers in the repub-
lical county of Taos. 1t is believed
that the residents of the neighboring
counties of Sandoval and Taos nave
been taking lessons il tax lodging
from the New Mexican.
Sierra county cast less than 800

per voter, while Torrance east 1874
votes. of which number 6O3 were re-
publican. n paid $~3,485.66. Sierra
paid about five times as much per
voter as Torrance. The amateur
should call in help before he makes
another grievous blunder.
Finally Luna county, with 525
votes, IS per cent of which are demo
cratic. paid nearly $4,000 more in ter
ritorial taxes than Santa Fe county
with over $500 votes. The voters in
Luna county paid 1857 in taxes per
capita to the territory as against Taos
$3.57 less than one-tenth as much, but
further pursuit Of this subject would
be painful to the amateur editor of
the New Mexican and. out of consid-
GRAFTON for his feeling we desist."
