NEW MExico's SAFE AND SANE
CONSTITUTION.

The proposed constitution for the
new state Of New Mexico is completed.
1t appears that the convention, which
had peculiar racial and other difficul.
ties to wrestle with, succeeded in
avoiding extremes and in framing up
moderately progressive instrument
It did not follow the example of radi.
cal Oklahoma, and did follow In the
main, the advice OF President Taft.
In spite of all efforts at brevity, the
constitution is document OF 10000

lican control, the tendencies OF the
age are distinctly reflected In sever

Thus. it provides for popular leg.

yided for to regulate rates OF public
service companies and common car.
riers, to grant charters and supervise
operation. the supreme court alone
being empowered to review the decis-
ions of the commission, and delay be-
ing obviated by checks on obstructive
and technical appeals.
There Is a stringent anti-pass sec.
tion in the instrument, and also one
abolishing the fee system from top to
bottom. Women are given the ballot
for school elections and enabled to

citizens OF Spanish descent are prohib-
tied, and citizens who do not speak
English are excluded from only the

What he suggests is the cooperation

the establishment OF a fund for the
purchase OF tillable land, the erec

to settlers on easy terms. In other
