PRIMARY
ELECTION
LAW NEXT.
Legislation Assuring Secret Bal
lot will be Demanded by
Voters

ThefBalance Wheel OF last Sat
urday has an article on Primary
. Election Law Needed" which
! should be read and pondered by
every member ele.t Of the First
State Legislature. In plain lam
guage the necessity of such a
law in New Mexico is shown and
the necessity Of such a law
NOW. Surely the convention
atlas Vegas is'a' Haunting ex-
ample Of uhqhestionablc proof Of
such need. Where a handful of
men out Of the more than
three hundred delegates to the
convention took the matter in
hand and not only declared who
should be the nominees OF the
convention, but actually forced
these nominees on the conyen-
/, tion, there is need that some
thing be done at once. /.
i The need Of some form of the
AustralianpsiBallot in the election
is no less urgent at this time.
With an open ballot as is the cus7
tom in New Mexico, the will and
wish Of the ordinary voter is no,
more sacred than is his voice in.
the nominating convention. The
powers that be in New Mexico,
have used as their argument that
the people, the native voters,
were too ignorant to vote the
Australian Ballot. Is it not more
credible to say that the bosses
could not SO easily control the
elections under the Australian
Ballot System and, for this rea-
son they are opposed The vote
on the Blue Ballot showed that
the voters can understand and
vote intelligently a modified form
Of the Australian Ballot. The
marking of the Blue Ballot was
nothing more than the Austria
Ian Ballot in its simplest form.
And if the voters could vote this,
land no one denies but that the
will of the people was expressed
in this) why not extend the same
principle to the marking Of every
name on the ballot? Then add
the making Of the ballot in secret
and a great Improvement has
been made over the present sys-
tenn. Of course, under such a
system, it would be impossible
for the bosses to have the ballots
to deal out to their henchmen,
and tell them how to vote. And
likewise It would be impossible
for the bosses to see that the
henchmen did vote as they were
told. But this reform is coming,
and coming fast and sure. The
people are aroused as never be-
fore. And once the American
people becomes aroused, some
thing is going to happen. :

liberal compensation for postal employees,
believing that the high standard Of Ell
fciency attained by a proper application OF
this policy is sure TO Justify the resulting

that the generous action taken In this re-
gard last year was largely responsible Tor
the effective cooperation received from the
officers and men throughout the country In
cutting out wasteful expenditures and
making the postal service generally more
efficient.
Many new employees were placed on the
rolls during the year and liberal increases
made in the compensation OF those already

10 the extent Of about $4,000 These in
