though the Democrats announced at
the beginning of the extra session the
work that would be undertaken. and 1t
was decided that nothing not on the
program at the start should be con-
sidered, New Mexico will probably get
a very meritorious bill through, that
was not on the list outlined when the
session opened. The bill referred to
is house bill No. 1901, and has for its
purpose the exempting of irrigation
districts in New Mexico from the oper-
alton of a territorial law passed in
1886 limiting the Indebtedness of po-
litical subdivisions of the territory TO
4 percent of the valuation. This law
worked all right on county debts and
things of that sort, bat when some
promoters attempted to form an irri-
cation district they ran up against
this law in a most unexpected way
1t was held that the law apDiiel 10

of this. 1T effectually stopped level

constructor was amply enough sup
piled with means to build the irriga-
ton system without issuing bonds
The unfairness of the law was first
made manifest to the promoters of two
projects in San Juan county. n. NJ
where the Bloomfield district, under
which it was intended to water about
5000 acres from the San Juan river
and the Orchard district of about
IL, 900 acres to be irrigated from the
Animas river, reached a stage that
meant bankruptcy unless the law
could be changed.

small project on the upper Gallinas
were also found to be feasible but the
promoters refused to take one single
step in the matter until this law was
repealed with respect to irrigation
districts.
So the bill was introduced and H
T Henderson, an engineer of Denver
who had been retained on the two
above mentioned projects was sent to
Washington to explain the situation
and try to get relief, He was here all
during the statehood discussion in the
house committee on territories, and
so busily engaged on the statehood res
olution that he could not get hearing
on what was apparently a minor mat
ter. With the statehood resolution
disposed of however he asked for a
hearing and after listening to Mr.
Hendersons statement and doing a
little investigating on the side, the
committee decided to bring in a unan-
imous report in favor OF the bill, and
chairman Flood announced that he
would use his influence with the house
leaders to get the bill passed as an
emergency measure. Senate leaders
also state that they realize the gray
ity of the situation, and will give the
bill immediate attention when 1t

THE PRICE OF ICE.

Editor FL PasO Herald:
How about this new ruling of the
ice company? Do the people of Fl
Paso have to submit to it? Suppose
the butcher and the baker insist that
we cannot have a loaf OF bread or a
scrap of meat unless we buy a book
OF purchase tickets. $3.50. in advance?
We need ice more than we need bread
in this weather. The working mans
family. which above and beyond all
others in the community is entitled to
the necessaries OF life. cannot get ice
under this new ruling. We haven't
got the money TO lay down. Do we
have to stand 1t? Do not public rights
come first. If they are interfered with
by companies or individuals, do not
such become by their action enemies
of the community? The ice company
is a thief of the peoples rights. and
the individuals who comprise it should
be marched out Of this town with a
good send-off of rotten eggs and
handy cobbles. Please print this vio-
lent letter. Others may tackle the
subject in a polite way, but this rep
resents the people who suffer under
