COMMUNICATED.

1t is reported that a mum Der of
SOcorro'S citizens and business
men have formed company
STYLED The New Mexico Cement
and Brick Company for the pur-
pose of exploiting, developing
and governing into a commercial
product the vast body of clays
which constitute and form the
greater part of the eastern slope
and foot hills Of the Socorro
mountain.
The company expects to begin
work early in the month of Sep
tember, which will consist of 1st,
the uncovering and testing of
these clays, and later the devel-
opment of water necessary to the
working of same.
If successful in their brick and
cement test, they have been as
sured, we are told, of contracts
from several sources, amounting
to thousands of dollars, which
would immediately place the en-
terprise among the successful
ones of the Territory and place
another star in the crown Of old
Socorro.
The property consists of a
strip of land taken up under the
placer laws of the United States:
Commencing near the city spring,
about SS5 feet wide and running
south 5000 feet along the west
boundary line of the Socorro
Grant, and directly adjoining the
City Grant on its west boundary
line. The land sometimes known
as the Byerts' pasture, and ex-
tending southwest corner of the
Graut.
The officers of the company,
who are interested in this enter
prise, we have been advised, are
as follows: President, John f..
Fullerton; Vice-president, w.

the frying pan could not be passed
among the trusts, which are the
bepe6ciaries OF the high protective
tariff. This is a presidential year
and the republicans expect some
heavy contributions from the preda-
tory interests which they have been
supporting. They are decidedly adj
verse to allowing the public to know
the size OF their campaign fund.
This must be the reason, as 1t Is
hard to comprehend why any political
party should refuse to take the public
In their confidence were this not the
reason. The people can not object to
contributions from the individual.
because he gives because 1t Is to the
interest Of the country that his party
should be successful at the polls. The
corporation gives for different
purpose. With corporation there Is
no such a thing as politics, because
they vote for the party which Is
thought can conserve their interests;
and when they make large donation
they expect the favOrs to be returned
In legislation which Is particularly In
the interests.
When Hartman and his friends
donated quarter OF million to
save New York for Roosevelt two
years ago IL was not from love OF
the president nor for love Of the re.
publican party, but In return they ex.
pected such laws to be enacted as
would not be inimical to their inter-
ests and In favor Of the people. When
the insurance company donated MIL
lions OF the savings Of the widows
and orphans In McKinley's last term
1t was not for the love of Mckinley,
but because they desired the reten-
ton OF the party In power which
would conserve their interests and
would not too closely Investigate
their manipulation Of the trust
funds.
Inc public1ty OF campaign 1un0S
has been adopted 10 state elections
and has been beneficial and why
should there be such a fear OF the
people being put next to the c0ntri.
buttons In a national election?
There is a necessity for political par
ties to have funds for the payment OF
leg Ultimate expenses, but when the
are coerced and threaten
ed to force them to donate literally
to that fraud and corruption is prac-
biced to maintain any party in power,
the time Is bound to come when the
party practicing this un-Amer-
lean practices will be held respons-
lble. This session of the congress has
placed the republican party in a bad
light before the country and 1t will
most assuredly be held responsible at
The polls.

The republican platform of Ohio,
which Is said to be Taft's article of
political faith offers tariff reduc-
tion that Is more radical than the
democrats have asked, during any of
the campaigns since the war. The
literal meaning of the long distance
promise would, at least, be good
modern democratic doctrine. The
plan outlined would bring this re-
form about by measures TO be enact
cd after the election. This promise
Is about like the promises made to
the nottingham after the long cam
paign OF destruction that has been
waged by the very ones who make
the after. election promise. Roose-
velt can shout democratic reforms to
the deaf ears OF fife law makers, and
these shouts are taken for republican
policies. The promises for the future
In the platforms are like Roosevelt's
shouts II any OF these reforms are
real republican policies why does con-
eress delay? and why should we wait
for any good thing till after election?
III Taft's promises are no more OF.
fecttve than Roosevelt's demands,
there Is no wonder attached to the
fact that the trusts still put up for
the republican campaign.
