Results Count

Vn6 man VINO makes 8OOO ID tue
man entitled to the reward. This
applies in . more special sense to
public servants, who have been faith-
full to their trust and who have
shown ability and integritity in the
conduct Of their offices.
Past state administrations have
been VIGOROUSLY lax in enforcing the
collection OF taxes and the filling Of
Annual Reports by corporations. This
indifference or neglect caused the
loss Of tens Of thousands of dollars to
the State, and 1t was not until J. b.
Pearce assumed the office of Sec
rotary of State that the corporations
were compelled to pay their fiat taxes
and to file the necessary Statements
Of the condition of their business
during the preceding year. This
meant splendid increase In the
revenues of the state, while it en-
phasized the fact that the present
secretary Of State not only knew his
business but was not afraid to make
corporations live up,to the law.
An analysis Of the comparative fig
ures showing what Pearce has done
during his incumbency and what his
predecessors did not do In the matter
Of revenue-raising Is the best illus
tration Of his efficiency. For instance,
comparing the receipts Of the first
eighteen months Of the administra-
tion of James Cowie. Republican
Secretary Of State, in 1905 and 1908,
we find the total receipts were $277,-
1888. 81, while for the same period In
1911 and 1912. under Pearce, they
were 1900, 299.8S, an increase Of
$23, O6l.2i.
Pearce's immediate predecessor was
T. w. O'Conner. The records show
an increase OF $7S,55l.62, In the rela-
tive periods of 1907 and 1903, and Of
40, 1922, in the periods of 1909 and
1910. In other words, Pearce COL
lected tl18,84s.s4 more In 1909 and
1910, than O'Connor did in 1907 and
1908, or . grand total Of slse, DO 6,
kAiuoA AZ tuo AOkty.tWV nOutI0
Pearce has been In of{ice.
Divide this total of tl36, 9lO.O6, by
forty-two and the average increase
per month 10 q, 260.76, over the Re-
publican brethren who were Secret
aries of State from 1905 to 1909. Why,
one months saving effected by Pearce
would almost pay his years salary,
20 his retention in his office for an-
other term would seem more like an
Investment by the people than any
thing else.
Besides 1t must be remembered
that this splendid result was achiev-
ed during period of financial de-
preston. J. h. Pearce is the "man
who made good" This work, along
the line here indicated, 10 unfinished.

Then. if the state went DemOcratlc

INTEREST AROUSED
IN GOOD ROADS
Meeting ut New Mexico Fair Has Done
Much - Put Sentiment in Favor
of the Bond Issue.

albuquerque. \. NJ, Oct 1.-THE re-
cent good roads meeting held in Albu-
querque during the fair week has done
much to arouse public interest in the
subject and to manufacture sentiment
in favor OF voting the 100000 bond
issue authorized by the last legislature
to be apportiOned to the various cOun-
ties of the state in proportion to the
amount paid by each county into the
state road fund under the present one
mill state road tax levy. This levy
provides the sinking and interest funds
to care for the proposed bonds; there
fore the bond issue calls for no increase
in the tax rate. The bond Issue is to
be voted upon at the general election
held November 5.
There has been some effort on the
part of politicians intent upon dis
crediting the legislature and the gov
ernor to bring about the defeat at the
polls Of the measure bnt # is generally
believed now they will not succeed
and that the bonds will be voted. The
bonds viii bear interest at the rate OF
Z per cent and it is believed viii sell
at par,
