Would Secure Power in
Albuquerque

On last Saturday Manager But
ler of the Electric Light and
Power companys plant in Albu-
querque was in Estancia. In talk
ing with the Newsman, he said
he has been sent over to investi-
gate the irrigation projects in the
valley, by the management of
their eastern office. During the
past two months Mr.. Chapelle,
IF the Western Construction
Company has been in correspond
nee with the New York office,
rying to-secure a rate for them
to furnish power from the Albu-
querque plant with which to
pump water in the valley. Mr.,
Butler said the only proposition
he would recommend was a flat
rate for power at the company
switchboard in Albuquerque,
necessitating the building of
transmission lines across the
mountains by local people. He
also stated that a Mutual Com
pany could arrange on better
terms to secure power here in
valley.

New Mexico entitled to just as
good an initiative and referendum

or any other state3 Why?
] have attended the. constitu-
tional convention here at Santa
Fe and watch developments from
the beginning. A large number OF
delegates are squarely opposed
to any initiative or referendum
provision. Others are squarely
in favor of an honest one. A
third class say they favor the
initiative and referendum but
want it well guarded" with
proper restrictions. I" They are
against the Oregon PLAN al

ansas, the people are required
when they wish to vote on a law
to secure 5 per cent of the legal
voters of the state on a referen-
DUN petition and 8 per cent on
an initiative petition, These are
all the states in which the iaitia-
tive and referendum are in practi-
cal operation. Initiative and re
ferendum laws introduced in
many other states require the
same percentages.
But in New Mexico it is propos-
ed by these men to require any
where from 10 to Is per cent.
That is, it is to be made from
two to three times as difficult for
the people Of New Mexico as for
any other sta,e. In actual usage

ed population, high cost of travel,

Convention


sion Of a constitutional provision
for statewide prohibition is the
opinion expressed by Judge G.
A. Richardson of Roswell at a
public hearing before the COM
mittee on county and municipal
corporations this afternoon.
Judge Richardson favors the sub
mission of this issue at the same
time the constitution is acted up
on. It is a question. said he
which will not down but will rise
like Banquo's ghost to haunt the
people of New Mexico until it
is settled at the polls. Judge
Richardson declares that provis-
ion should be made now regard
less of the outcome of the vote
on prohibition. The matter he
says should not be again allow
ed to come before the people for
a term of years. Judge Richard
son was elected to the conven-
tion on a platform which pledged
the candidate to the separate
submission of the prohibition
question and believe that plat.
form pledges should be taken
seriously.
Quite anumber Of ladies, meme
bers of the w. C. T. U. in Santa
t'e and other New Mexico stowns
were present and addressed the
committee. Among them were:
Mrs. S. G. Nutter, state presi3
dent of the W. G. T. U. Dele
gates Brice, Garrison, Mabray
and Heflin. Mrs. w. E. Lindsey,
Mrs. G.. F. Easley, Mrs. Adella
Scott. Mrs. Katherine Patterson
and Rev. 7. z. Salazar.
While it has not been definite
ly decided as yet, the committee
will probably report in favor of
submitting the question of state
wide prohibition separately at
the time of the adoption of the
constitution.
The committee on education
has drafted its provisions which
provide for a on-sectarian pub
lie school system, with compul-
sorry education and a minimum
term of six months for each
school district. School funds are
to be invested only in state, coun-
ty and municipal bonds and the
failure to produce schools funds
when demanded shall be prima
facie evidence Of embezzlement
and to be regarded as a felony.
No separate schools are to be
maintained on account of race,
color language or religious be.
lief and an appointive state
board of education is provided
for. Text books are not to be
changed oftener than once in
four years.
The committee on executive
department has prctically decided
upon its report and at a meeting
tomorrow formal announ. .e-
ment will be made. 1t is probable
that the officers of the new state
will be as follows:
Governor, salary. $1,000 per
annum. Lieutenant governor,
double the perdiem of a member
of the state senate. This officer
will be president of the senate
and is to receive salary only
while the legislature is in sess-
ion, and when the governor is
absent from the state or inca
pacitated for duty for any other
reason, In the latter case the
lieutenant governor will receive
the salary of the governor while
acting as chief executive,
Attorney general. $1,000 per
annum. Secretary of state,
So, 600, State treasurer. $3.0O0..
State auditor, 50, 500. or
So, 600. This has not as yet been
definitely decided.
