with the territorial secretary. I thel
went to Washington and urged thu
necessity of such an appropriation
(The governor then shows by presen'
ing kilograms from the secretary o.
the Interior and the chairman Of tht
house committee on territories, Mr.
Hamilton; that his suggestions had
been complied with by an act which
will undoubtedly become a Law allow
ing the territory to appropriate not
exceeding $4,000 for additional en-
ployes and contingent expenses.) We
are therefore, now clearly in a posi-
ton so that not o than SIS, 900 can
be lawfully appropriated for the pay
meat of additional employees and con
tingent expenses; and / am ready to
approve h expenditure of such part
of that sum as may in the opinion OF
the legislature prove necessary. ]
cannot see my way clear, however, to
approve the appropriation of this mo-
ney in the form a house joint resolu-
ton No. 4, which is herewith returned
because tina resolution contains no
provision for accounting for the mo-
ney, and is in form almost identical
with the resolutions passed by other
legislatures under which large sums
were appropriated for similar purpos-
es for which no accounting whatever
was made, or if made, such account
ing cannot be found IN the territor-
ial archives. Whether rightfully or
wrongfully the method of expending
the money appropriated by these re-
solutions has given rise to severe criti
cism throughout M territory. 1
have no doubt. whatever but that the
sums provided for under this reso-

for: but what the people demand, and
in what in my opinion is imperative
is that any and all resolutions passed
by the legislature for the disposal
of this money should contain specific
provision for such accounting, naming
Inc employees and their employment,
and the salaries they are receiving
and specifying that the method of pay
,ng out the money should be the same
as tia of other territorial funds:
namely, through the auditor of the
territory, upon duly sworn vouchers,
the money to be paid in acn instance
through a warrant by the treasurer.
| most respectfully represent that we
are now in a position where there is
no reason whatever for adopting any
subterfuge Oh resorting to any tech
meal or actual laws in the %appropria-
ton of this money. In the expendi-
ture of the same there is every reason
why. in order to avO any possible
criticism that might arise, every pre-
caution should be taken to have the
expenditure of the funds made in
the same name as other territorial
funds. This is malifestly the right
way to look at the matter and my ac-
ton in returning to you this resolu-
ton is far from being based Upon any
intention, wen remote, to cast any
reflection upon III member of the leg

desire that there shall be no posi-
BILE excuse for criticism by anyone in

KING OPENS PARLIAMENT
BITTER FIGHT CONTINUES


London, Feb. 12.-After two preli-
minary sessions this year, parliament
was formally opened today with a full
state ceremonial in which King Ed
al and Queen Alexandra participat-
ed. 1t is anticipated that the fight
between the Commons and the Lords
over the education bill will be resum-
ed with increasing bitterness. The
separation of the church and state in
France mas given great impetus to
the movement in this country and ii
is likely that bills looking to the dis
establishment of the Church of Eng
land will be introduced during the
present session.
James Bryce, the new British am
basSador to America, today completed
final arrangements for leaving for his
new post and will sail for New York
tomorrow. He will probably arrive
in Washington about the middle of
next week.
King Edward will hold the first le-
wee OF the session the latter part of
the present week. 1t will take place
in the throne room of St. James Pal
ace. The first court will be held on
Friday of next week in the grand ball
room of Buckingham Palace. Only
the members of the diplomatic corps
will be invited. A second levee and
court will be held the following week,
when a number of Americans will
be presented to the king and queen.

The general supposition that the
stockmen of the Southwest, thai is,
the stockmen of New Mexico and Ar
izona, were a unit against the leas-
ing of the public domain, has proven
to be a mistake. While the sheep
growers are not in favor of it and
have tneir representatives in Wash
ington plugging against the meas
ure, the COW men are strongly in ia
vor of it, and they claim that the
horse men are with them on the
proposition.
Uncle Bob Johnston and B. H.
Marsh called at the Record office
this morning and, speaking for the
cattlemen of this section of the Ter
ritory, asked to be placed on record
publicly as in favor of the leasing
proposition. They said:
THE COY men in this country have
not made a cent, above all expenses,
in five years, but they are willing to
pay for the use of the public range,
and think the measure should be
oNCPlSu- II "ouIu SlCoIS a
for the government and for the differ
ent counties as well, for ten per cent
UNI of the fund goes to the county
where the la1d is located. h mix
ing of cattle and sheep has proven
successful and profitable in Southern
Texas, where it is now being one
under the state law.
''This talk about the leasing law
hindering settlement is all bosh. In
the first place, if the law passes, the
leasing will be allowed only in lease
DISTRICTS which are to be set aside
by the President. He will not set
aside any lease district in a locality
thai is being settled extensively. In
addition to that. the law will provide
that ten per centum of the and in a
leased district may be settled in a
year. 1t is safe TO say that more than
ten per centum of the public domain
is not settled in five years"
Sidney Pitt, who lives IS miles east
of Roswell, called this morning and
stated that all the COW men in his
part VI lie pIdlHS are III IdNOI vi d
good lease law. He argues that the
leasing of the public range would
be better for even the sheep men, in
the end, for it would enable all kinds
of stockme1 to protect the range to
a better advantage. He says that the
reason sheep men are not favorable
to the proposed law is because they
can easily move their sheep to good
grass, when rain comes in spots, and
the COW men can't move their stock.
Otto Hedgcoxe was another caller,
who wants a lease law. He said they
were going to get some kind of a
lease law, and all were hoping for a
good one. He said that with the
fences down, as an anti-lease law
would mean. it would result in cow
mems water free to sheep men.
The sheep men have on their side
of the question some of the largest
papers of the West. The following
from the Denver Republican gives
the Reclamation Service side of the
question as viewed by that paper:
