THE COST OF RUNNING
The LEGISLATURE.

There are not many legislatures In
the United States with as few mem
bers as hat of New Mexico. The Fed
eral law limits the number in tae up
per houSe TO twelve and in the lower
house TO t~wenty-four. 1t also strictly
limits the biennial sessions of this
body to sixty days duration. We do
not remember that any of our legisla-
lures ever adjourned in less than six
ty days. They may have, but il is
not likely. In spite of the fact that
a large cutting down was brought
about we years ago and necessarily
adhered to this yea the expense of
our legislative sessions is still enough.
The last session cost just about $3.50
per day for the sixty days. A con-
siderable portion of this. about &c.,
000.. was paid by the Federal Govern
ment. the rest. about 100000 by the
Territory. Prior to 1907 it had been
the custom for the legislators in San
ia Fe to vote large sums for conttn
gent expenses and extra employees, i'll
spite of the fact that to do so was
contrary TO the Federal law. They
went just as far as they dared to in
such appropriations. and a favorite
campaign method was to promise EN-
ployment at the Legislature TO useful
political workers. When the Legis-
lature met, a whole army of prospec-
tive employees" appeared AT Santa re
&c get the payment for thei work
Many of them were given jobs and
most of them were completely inefic-
lent and simply drew their pay with
out doing any work at all. Ii was a
most shameless business, and one of
the worst scandals connected with
gang rule.
In 1907 the indiscriminate appro-
priation Of money for this purpose
was curtailed. 1t was recognized hat
the government G not furnish suf-
icient funds to run the Legislature
properly. 1t a v the members a per

In 1907 our energetic and
ful delegate. Mr.. Bull Andrews, did
his best not only to secure the pas
a of the clause in the appropriation
act referred to. by which permission
was given the Territory to spend SIS
o OF its money for legislative ex
tras. but he also tried TO lbefuddle

place hunters and their sponsors were
unable, in spite of efforts.
to get through more han $4,000 di-
rect appropriations for extra EN-
ployes.
The inquiry which naturally arises
to the mind of the average taxpayer
is this: What would our legislatures
cost us If we became a state anu the
state government remained in the
hands of the people who now seem
to control the Territorial government?
Is IL likely that with an entirely free
hand-the humble of legislators would
be kept down to sc or that their pay
would be kept al 81 per day, OF that
the sessions would be limited to sixty
days. or. above all. that there would
be any restrictions on the amounts
appropriated for contingent expenses
and extra employees? Ii is probable
that the rose would smell as sweet
under any other name. We do not
know that the state government would
remain in their hands but, in thinking
over the arguments for and against
will not fail TO think of the probable
ost of the change. Ii is only people
who don't pay taxes who ignore this
feature of the statehood question.
