RATE LAW INVALID
MINNEsoTAs STATUTE GOVERN
ING RAILROAD CHARGES
UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
UYFEDERAL SUpREMECOURT
Penalties Imposed for Ito Enforcement
Too severe--Attorney General
Young Must Pay HIs
Fine.

Washington, Mar. 24.-The supreme
court OF the United States Monday
denied the petition Of Attorney Cen
eral Edward T. Young Of Minnesota
for a writ Of habeas corpus in the
case In which he is held for contempt
of court by the United States circuit
court OF Minnesota because he refused
to abide by an injunction issued by
that court forbidding him taking any
action looking to the enforcement Of
the maximum railroad rate law. The
court at the same time pronounced
invalid the Minnesota law regulating
both freight and passenger rates. The
opinion was announced by Justice
Peckham, who held the Minnesota law
to be unconstitutional on its face be-
cause Of the enormous. penalties i'm
posed for dlsobedience to 1t.
Justice Harlan delivered a dissent
ing opinion, In which he expressed
the view that the decisions Of the court
In the Minnesota and North Carolina
cases marks a new era in the rela-
tionship between the states and the
federal government and between the
federal and state courts. He contend
ed that the suit Of the railroad COM
pany in the Minnesota case was in
reality a suit against the state and
he dwelt at length upon the enormity
Of permitting a subordinate United
States court to order the imprisonment
Of an official of sovereign state to
test a law Of that state. IF this can
be DONE" he said, why can't sim
liar injunction be put on grand jury
or district attorney in any criminal
proceeding?"

st. Paul, Mimi, Mar. 24-Attorney
General Young on learning Of the su-
preme courts decision, said that so
far as his case was concerned, he
would simply pay his fine Of 500. I'm
til he had read the reason Of the court
for declaring the law unconstitutional
he could give no intelligent opinion of
It's effect in this state. The action of
the United States district court of Min
nesota which resulted In Attorney
General Young being cited for con-
tempt, was the result Of the railroad
corporations In Minnesota bringing
Injunction suits against the Minnesota
Railroad commission and certain ship
pers to prevent them from putting in
to effect the commodity rate law
passed by the legislature.
Attorney General Young claimed
that the sovereign state could not be
enjoined and started proceedings in
the state courts to enforce the laws
passed by the legislature for which he
was constructively put in jail by Judge
Lochren on a charge of contempt but
In reality he was paroled in custody
Of the United States marshal until an
appeal was taken by means Of a writ
Of habeas corpus to the supreme court.
The North Carolina Case.
Washington, Mar. 24.-The case Of
Thomas f. Hunter, sheriff of Bun
combe county, North Carolina, VS..
James H. Wood, agent Of the Southern
railway at Asheville, N. G., involving
\ conflict over the North Carolina rail-
road rate law was decided Monday by
he supreme court of the United
States in favor Of Wood. The decision
was announced by Justice Peckham
md Its effect is to sustain the federal
courts and thus holds invalid the law.

Only to the stranger in New Mex
that James F. Hinkle, whose name
has been advanced as a nominee for
Delegate ITO Congress from New Mex
leo, is a man of affairs il the Terri
tory, both locally and territprially.
James F. Hinkle, better known
here as Jim" Hinkle, is one of the
very best men in Chaves county, and
there is not better man in New
Mexico. Outside of birth and educa-
tion he is pretty nearly a New Mexi-
caa. He was born in Franklin coun-
ty, Missouri, A years ago on a farm,
and received his first education at
the country school in his district. La
ter he attended the University of
years course in that institution.
When he left college he struck out
for west Texas, and worked as cow
puncher at $25 per month. He proved
himself competent. In the fall of 1884
aad summer of 1885 he came to New
Mexico, and he has resided in what
is now Chaves county for % years.
From the time he landed in New Mex
leo he ran cattle and was manager
of the Penasco Cattle Company, on
the Penasco river. This company sold
out in 1901, and in 1902 Mr.. Hi1kle
took charge of the fHagerman pasture
across the Pecos river, of which he
is, still manager.
He was married at Lincoln, N. NJ
to Miss Lille Roberts, December IA.
1902, and in his home at 402 North
Missouri avenue, there is happy fam
lily of four children, two boys and
two girls.
During his long residence in which
Roswell was transformed, as it were.
from COW camp into a city, Mr.. Hin
kle has taken the keenest interest in
the welfare of Roswell, and in all
that time he has been an enthusiastic
Democrat, and has held many offices
at the hands of the Democrats, but
these Offices have been honorary and
per diem ones, and this man is enti-
tied to recognition by the Democrats
of New Mexico in a more substantial
way.
He was county commissioner of
Lincoln county when this was a part
of the county in 1890, and there was
then a salary of only $500 a year ia
the Office.
He was elected treasurer OF Lin
coin county in 1904. but at that time
The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1908-06-09

the treasurer was not the collector,
being merely the custodian of the
funds and receiving only $400 a year.
Mr.. Hinkle was a member of tine
House in the 3Oth and 31st and mem
Der of the Senate in the 34th Legis-
Iatiye Assembly of New Mexico, as
a Democrat, and he promoted and
accomplished valuable work for the
party, acquitting himself with honor.
He was formerly a member of the
Cattle Sanitary Board, and has been
a member of the Territorial Board
of Equalization for twelve years.
These boards are non-partisan and
have had Democratic representation
ON the minority side, according to
law, and if the Democrats were in
power the Republicans would be en-
titled to minority representation on
every board in New Mexico as the
Democrats are today.
When Roswell received her charter
elected the first mayor He died be-
fore the expiration of his term and
Mr.. Hinkle was elected and served
out his full term of two years. He
reduced taxes during his administra-
tion one-fourth of one per cent on the
general tax levy and increased the
city revenue $4,000 year, which is
still in effect.
Under the Hinkle administration
Roswell had the honor of being the
first city in New Mexico to reduces
the tax levy. and so far has been the
only one.
1t was during Mr.. Hinkle's term
of Office that gambling was abolished
here by ordinance, nearly two years
before it was abolished in New Mexi-
co by Territorial enactment, and his
administration placed the retail city
liquor license at $4,000 a year in ad-
vance.
Mr.. Hink1e is the President and
principal stockholder of the Pecos
Valley Lumber Co., of Roswell,
president of the Independent Hard
ware Sou upduy, tsucCeSSOrS 10 Llc
w. p. Lewis Hardware Co.. director
in the First National Bank, having
extensive interests, and has many i'm
portant cattle and stock holdings, as
well as being one OF the heaviest
property owners of Roswell.
He is competent. well educated. of
good appearance, true Democrat
and If nominated will be elected.
The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1908-06-09

and elder brother, and there are hun
dreds today who feel a personal obli-
CATION to him for his kindness and
advice. No one appealed to him in
vain for help.
The New Mexico Military Institute
in this city owes it's inception to him
and this growing educational 1nsti-
tuition will stand as an eternal mon
ument to his memory.
His donations of land were 1umer-
square where the court house now
stands, the site for the Christian
Church and many other donations. He
presented the Masonic Lodge with a
lot on Main street that they sold and
with the proceeds bought the lot
where the Post-office is located and the
twenty-five feet on the north side of
the building. This property is today
worth $4,000.
When Roswell was Incorporated as
city in the fall of 1908, Captain Lea
was named as the first mayor and he
blushingly received the honor, the
first political honor he would ever
accept.
AS has been said Ia regard to Cap
tain Lea, He fought a good fight, he
finished the course and surely there
was meted out to him on the farther
shore that reward that is due to them
that do the right as God gave 1t them
to see the right"
The thoughts of the people of Ros-
well now turn to the life and the
work of the man whose body has put
on Immortality and the suggestion
presents itself, what will Roswell do
to erect a suitable and substantial,
life size standing monument to him
who was the pioneer OF the Valley,
the man who blazed the way her
foremost citizen and Roswelrs first
mayor?"
His memory will ever be kept green
in the hearts of all who were fortunate
enough TO know him, and this love
which the people of Roswell bore him
will prompt the building Of monu-
ment to hs memory as a fitting trir-
butte to his life and work.
