TIL PHTENTED
Attorney General Holds Patent
Should Issue Before Land
is Assessed

Attorney General Frank w
Clancy has handed down the
following important opinion:
Mr.. Charles w. Cook, Asses
sor of Luna County, Dening
N. M.
Dear Sir-Your letter of the
31st Of May, addressed to Mr..
Hervey has been, by him, sent
to me at Santa Fe, from which
place, in turn, it has been for
warded to me here. After a
man has made final proof on a
homestead entry, it is questiona-
BILE whether the land can be as
sessed for purposes of taxation
until he has received his patent.
There is a possibility that some
thing might happen to prevent
the issuance Of the patent, al
though the courts have held that
after he has done everything
incumbent upon him he has such
title to the property that he can
sell and convey it. There is
enough doubt as to the land be-
ing taxable, to make it advisa- /
BILE that it be not assessed until
the patent is actually issued.
Ordinarily, I would feel dis
Inclined to give official advice to
county officers, because, by stat
1te, the district attorney is made
heir legal adviser and it might
,e considered discourteous for
he attorney general to intrude
Upon the business of the district
attorney.
Yours truly,
FRANK w. CLANCY,
Attorney General.

Santa Fe Il, EstanCid II

A large crowd of valley people
accompanied the Estancia boys
to the Ancient City on last Sun.
day, where they assisted the
home team in giving the Santa
Fe boys the scare of the season,
if not in defeating them. For a
number Of innings the score was
in favor of our boys, but a cou-
pie of errors in running bases,
gave the game to the other side,
by majority of one.
Everyone who went had a
good time, except the herding
into the box cars like so many
cattle. A number have declared
that they will not patronize
another excursion unless decent
railroad equipment is at hand to
make the trip at least bearable.
Almost four hundred people
were crowded into two box cars,
two cabooses and two coaches.

lhieving near Mountdindir

AS in all newly settled locali-
ties, there are a few persons in
the Estancia Valley who think
the world owes them a living
and proceed to get it by the
light of the moon when honest
people are supposed to be asleep.
A number of petty thefts are
reported from the rural districts
including farm implements,
household goods, sheep, and
everything in fact movable and
stealable. One man reports
that he heard of milldam car
ried off, but the water wouldn t
follow in his direction and the
mllldam was abandoned. 1t is
said that over on the river some
where there is a store where
stolen goods are secreted and
sold at reduced prices. This
may or may not be literally true,
but this stealing business must
stop. If our citizens continue to
be robbed, and there is no other
means of protection, somebody's
darling will decorate the
wrong end of a rope one Of
these beautiful nights and other
thieves will then leave for
greener fields. Mountainair

ROCK ISL,HND
OFFI0IHLS HERE
Locke Over Local Railroad Prop
erty and Coal Fields
at Hagan

General Manager H. U. Nudge
Of the Rock Island, accompanied
by other brass collars" spent
some time in Estancia Monday,
his private car having been
brought up from Torrance early
in the morning. After thorough
ly investigating the railroad pro-
perties here, the special was run
north. At Moriarty, the party
was driven over to Hagan, to in
spect the coal fields.
The significance Of this trip at
this time, is mere rumor, but
there appears to be foundation
for the rumor that the Rock Is
land is seriously considering tax
ing over the New Mexico Cen
tral. Such a move could not
come too soon for the people of
the valley, who are anxious to
secure some Accommodations, when
they are compelled to dig up five
cents per mile.

To be Presented to Board of
County Commissioners
EXPENSE Of Village
Government Small
Taxation Limited by Law to one
half of One Per Cent

Sheriff Meyer has prepared 8
petition to present to the board
of county commissioners asking
that Estancia be Incorporated as
a village. Under the amended
statute there must be not less
than two hundred people resid-
ing within the limits of the ter
ritory proposed to be incorporat-
ed. A petition signed by not
less than a majority of the
qualified voters residing within
the said territory, must be pre-
sented to the board of county
commissioners, at a regular
meeting. This petition shall be
filed with the county board until
their next regular meeting, and
after due consideration, if the
commissioners are satisfied with
the validity and good faith of
the petition and the signatures
thereto, and upon the deposit of
one hundred dollars for ineiden-
tai expenses, the board shall
cause the boundaries of the
proposed town or village to be
plainly and substantially marked,
and issue an order declaring
said town or village to be an in
corporated town or village for
the purposes provided by law.
The board shall call an election
to be held not less than thirty
and not more than sixty days
thereafter for the purpose OF
choosing town marshal and a |
board of five trustees.
The expense of the village
government need not be great, |
as the salary of the clerk is limit
ed by statute to not to exceed
twenty-five dollars per month.
The marshal, according to sec
ton 2474 of the Compiled Laws
of 1897, shall receive the same
fees for his services that con-
stables are allowed in similar
cases. Section 2489 of the
same laws provides that a tax
levy may be made, but shall not
exceed one-half of one per
centum in any one year.
The benefits to be derived as
an incorporated village would be
numerous. The cleaning up
and keeping clean of the streets
and alleys, police regulation III
general, providing water supply,
restricting the running at large
of animals, are a few of the
benefits we would derive. The
petition ought be generally
signed by our citizens when pre-
sented to them.

GIVE HIM A CHANCE.

We know that he doesn't deserve
it-we've all been there ourselves.
That's why we know just how low
down mean a thing it is that he's
done. But. strange to say. the expert
ence doesn't seem to give us very
much sympathy for the other fellow
True, the meannesS in ourselves may
not have shown itself in precisely the
same way that it cropped out in the
other chap: but it's the same brand
of meanness. having its origin in the
same streak of cussedness which
seems TO run through the human race.
Just how often and how much we
should forgive is question which has
puzzled many a philosopher. and a
good many more self-appointed judges.
There are plenty of men who would
enjoy serving in the capacity of the

the sinner so much, But the Lord

At a conspiracy trial held in Eng
land. the presenting counsel gave the
following definition of a scab: "A
scab is to his trade what a traitor is
to his country. and. although both
may be useful in troublesome times,
they are detested by all when peace
returns: so when help is needed the
scab is the last to contribute assist
ance and the first to grasp the benefit
he never labored to secure. He cares
only for himself: he sees not beyond
the extent of day and for none
tary appreciation he would betray
friends, family and country; in short.
he first sells the journeyman. and is
himself afterward sold in turn by his
employer. until. at last, he is despised
by both and deserted by all"

TO get what's coming to us'-we're
getting it right along. in good big
doses. Perhaps the devil thinks that
he'll miss out on getting some OF us
in the end, so he's giving us here and
now some of the punishment that we
deserve. According to the rules of
the game, most of us deserve all that
we are getting and a whole lot more,
and its altogether likely that in the
great tribunal well find that no guilty
man will escape excepting as the
Judge deals with us in mercy.
But we won't discuss the embarrass-

but seventy times seven" meaning,
of course, that there should be no
limit to the number of times that for

Now. here's the point-if Christ,
who is sinless, is ready to forgive sin.
how much more should we who are
full of sin be ready to pardon our
fellow-sinners?
Next time that you are tempted to
pitch into some other man for a
peculiar sin or shortcoming, ask your
self if it isn't true that you are down

NO APOLOGIES TO MAKE.

The editor of The Wageworker is in
receipt of several protests-verbal and
written-against its publication of
Rev. Mr.. Stelzle's letters dealing with
various phases of the liquor question.
The Wageworker has no apologies
to make for the appearance of Rev.
Mr.. Stelzle's letters. Those letters
are written by q union man. They deal
with a question of much more than
passing concern. We have not always
agreed with Rev. Mr.. Stelzle. For the
matter of that We have at one time
or another disagreed with about every
body we ever came into contact with.
Often times We have disagreed with
thought. But Rev. Mr.. Stelzle has
faculty for getting at the heart of
every subject he tackles. He writes
from the standpoint of a man who has
played the union game fairly and
squarely He discusses question that
affects the American workingman as
perhaps no other question affects him,
and he discusses it without rancor,
without malice, without fanaticism-
If there happens to be among those
who have protested against Rev. Mr..
Stelzie's letters one who desires to
undertake the task of defending the
American saloon. he is welcome TO as
much space in The Wageworker as our
reverend friend uses. There are but
two or three limitations upon this Of
fer The writer must be a union
man. He must be courteous in his
language, and he must be brief and
fair
The editor of The Wageworker is
not a prohibitionisl in the sense that
he would make the matter a political

then it is not religious question. Ii
in politics. A legislative enactment
and a sheriff's writ are not needed to
bolster up the cause of the Carpenter
of Nazareth. As long as the American
ton along ..reformed-drunkard-l
lines the movement made no perman-
emit advance. When We began treating
it as an economic question We began
moving forward. The Wageworker
here and now wants TO make its po-
sition known. 1t never has. does not
now, nor never will, try to defend the
saloon as a business institution. 1t
has no defense. 1t has no patience
with the personal liberty plea that
many people SO loudly put forth Per-
sonal liberty ends right where So
ciety's rights begin The Wagework-
er wants to help along towards the
end when this republic will SEE the
total elimination of the liquor traffic.
But it does not believe the end can
be attained merely by the enactment
of law. Education, experience, and
the leaven of the gospel of the Naz-
arene will furnish the ultimate solu-
ton. In this work of education The
Wageworker wants to have a Fart.
That is why it gladly publishes Rev.
Charles Stelzle's letters and that
is why it will just as gladly publish
the letters of any union man who de
sires to take issue with our clerical
friend.
