The morning news. (Estancia, N.M.) 1911-1912, 1911-11-04

When the Flood Resolution was
up in the senate the Plunderbund
press of New Mexico boasted
that the Blue Ballot was beaten,
but the Blue Ballot was not beat
en-; it was in no danger of being
beaten. Now the same news
papers are saying that the Blue
Ballot will be beaten. Their pre-
diction is just as accurate now as
it was last summer.

The morning news. (Estancia, N.M.) 1911-1912, 1911-11-04

The state election is but three
days away. A majority of the
voters of the state have decided
to vote for the Flood substitute
for the article on the amendment
of the constitution and far the
candidates on the Democratic
ticket. If the votes are counted
as they are cast, there is abso-
lutely no doubt as to the result
of the election. The people of
New Mexico are tired of the rule
of the Plunderbund. They are
going to wipe off the slate and
commence a new regime.

Speaking of deficits, we would
like to have the Republicans ex-
plain that deficit of more than
$1,000 that the penitentiary is
carrying. Is this a sample of the
splendid financial management of
the Republican administration of
4he territory?
The morning news. (Estancia, N.M.) 1911-1912, 1911-11-04


No, Mabel, the cause of the
present deficit of the territorial
penitentiary is not on account of
the territory having paid the
New Mexican $3.50 a copy for
the report of the Governor in
Spanishs handsomely bound in
paper covers, some years ago,
but it was on account Of such
bills as this that the tax rate was
raised from 7.75 to 1851 mills.
The New Mexican is dcsirous to
return to the good old days.
The morning news. (Estancia, N.M.) 1911-1912, 1911-11-04

The convicts in the peniten-
tiary are being worked in the
interest of the Republican ticket.
This is not the first time that
convicts in the penitentiary have
been worked in this manner. On
promises of pardons convicts
have written to their friends and
urged them to support the Re-
publican ticket, This is on a par
with many things that have been
done and that are being done by
the leaders of the Republican
organization.

We wonder why the Republican
press of New Mexico is so dis

between $4,000 and $25, 900 that
the penitentiary is carrying?

STATE ASSESSORS
PUT IN A BUSY
DAY OF WORK

The adjourned meeting of the
state board of assessors was re-
sumed at Il o'clock Wednesday.
The committee appointed Tuesday
to look into the assessments of
power lines, telephone lines and
telegraph lines, after consulting with
the members of the railroad COM
mission, made its report. This re-
port was to the effect that power
lines, telegraph lines and small
lines be left to the assessors of
the various counties but that the
Western Union line be assessed in
the value of $40 per mile. At this
point a recess was taken until 2
o'clock p. m.
At the afternoon session the first
item taken up was the assessment
of the Western Union Telegraph
company's holdings in Nevada. A
motion to make the assessment at
| $40 per mile for each strand of
wire, after discussion, was passed.
Mr.. Jones, representing the cor
poration, stated to the board that
he believed that the rate was toe
high, and while he was not pre-
pared with figures, he assured the
assessors that to his knowledge, the
rate was unreasonable. Upon &
vote taken upon the assessment
the body was unanimous and the
rate was fixed at $40.
/ The assessment of the Pullman
company came up for consideration
This was fixed at 1850 per mile

FLAT RATE" TO
BE ESTABLISHED
Circuit Clerks Office and Local At
torney Are Affected By Bill Pend
ing in The Legislature.

A flat rate" is to be inaugurated
and maintained in the office of Cir
cult Clerk G. E. Lyle as charge for
filing evil papers, if the bill intro
duced by Senator H. K Toney in the
Senate Tuesday and read twice and
made IA special order for yesterday,
Is passed by the Legislature. The
bill applies to civil papers filed in
both the circuit and chancery courts.
The measure was drawn by Attor-
neys Danaher and Danaher, of this
city. 1t provides that lawyers, when
they file civil suit in the circuit and
chancery court clerks office, shall
pay SO for the filing of the paper and
that this amount shall cover all flu
ture service rendered by the clerk or
his deputies in connection with the
one suit. Heretofore, in fact at the
present. time, the circui clerk makes a
charge from 10 Gems to 81 for various
services rendered attorneys in civil
cases. each case netting the clerk
about 81. The new law will lessen
the court costs about 81 in each
case.
The bill is backed up by a petition
signed by practically all of the law
yers Of this city and county. They
figure that it will prove helpful to
the circuit and chancery clerk rather
than work a hardship of cheaper his
services. With the tabolishment of the
many little charges that are usually
made in such cases, it is said, the
clerk can do away with one of his
deputies, whose duty it is to keep a
record Of the various charges made
for attorneys in various cases.
