a member of the House Post
office committee a few DAYS

would move to discharge the
committee and have the mat

member of the committee
asked him which of the score
OF bills he favored and men

raj. The inquirer admitted
that he knew nothing of the
provisions Of any of them; of
the long hauls of the United

hauls of Europe; that it had
been estimated that such sys-

s. NIRST of all, let me
Ut say this: It's largely

the local dealers ow;
fault if any trade goes from hin
to the mail order house. How
do | reason to arrive at such g
conclusion Is this wise.
Either he is wrong in The mat.
ter of his prices, making them
too high, or if he is fair in that
respect then he is dereliCt in
not being thorough enough in
his measures to convince the
public OF that fact.
And right here let me say
that 1t takes more than gene
ralities ia carry conviction to
the public in this. The mail
order houses dent depend on
the broad claim that they are
selling cheaper. Whether they
are actually cheaper or not
they give dehrite prices on par
ticular articles. 1t is this, most
ly, that has impressed the
= public.
$50 my advice to the aver
age retailer might be summed
. up as follows:
MAKE it cardinal principle
of your business to c,on6ne
yourself at all times to fair
profits. No matter how tempt
ing circumstances may be,
hold to this point. Maybe it's
an altruism, but in business
as in everything else, only
that which is right will survive.
Any method, such as exorbi-
tant profits, that does not take
the interests of the public into
due consideration will inevitab-
ly react OH the party employ
ing it in the long run.
"But, it is one thing to be
fair in the matter of profits
and another to convince your
public of that fact. This is a
case where a man has an ina
lienable right to blow his own
horn, as the expression runs.
Certainly he owes it to his
own business and himself to
do SO. He can not very we'll
overdo this feature as long as
he uses a proper degree of dig
nifty about it.

JOKER SHOWS Up
SUNpRY CIVIL
BILL
PRESIDENT HAD ENDORSED ECONOMY
Commission BUT HOUSE SLIPPED
IN SOME INNOCENT PARAGRAPHS

Washington, D. c., Aug. 27.-Presi-
dent Tafts economy commission, it
was discovered today was ruthlessly
Trimmed by the democratic house and
BY the senate in the sundry civil ap-
preparation and the legislative appro-
priation bills.
In addition to limiting the powers
of the commission to matters of trans
acting the public business of the gov
ernment only in the several execu-
tive departments the sundry civil bill
reduces the salaries of its members.
The chairman now gets $4,000 year,
while the five other members receive
$4,000 each. The new law provides
that not more than three persons
rnay be paid more than $4,000 per an
mum and cuts to $4,000 the amount
designated with which to prosecute
the work.
In the legislative bill a paragraph,
slipped in at the last moment, pro-
vides that the regular annual esti-
mates of appropriations and expenses
of the government shall be prepared
and submitted to congress by those
charged with the duty of such prepa.

form as at the time are required by

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
S0CORRO COUNTY BORROWED
Se,4O6.04 AND EXPEND MONEY
ACCORDING TO BOOKS OF TREASURER NOT CENT OF THIS sum EVER
Was DEPOSITED WITH him. NOR WAS He INFORMED AS TO HOW OR
WHEN IT WAS DSBuUSED NOR WHO DHBURSED IT
MONEY Transferred FROM ONE FUND
TO ANOTHER Whenever CONVENIENT
CHAPTER TWO.

At the regular quarterly meeting Of
the county commissioners of Socorro
county, according to the report of Au-
ditor Guilfoil 10 the governor, the
county commissioners of Socorro
county authorized their chairman and
clerk to borrow from the bank at
Magdalena the sum of $G,406.S4 at the
best terms that could be secured.
The proceeds of this sum were to be
used for court house repairs and un-
der date of July st, 1907, resolution
Of the commissioners shows that the
sum was borrowed at the rate Of ten
per cent 900.
The commissioners executed a note
tC the bank at that rate of interest,
the report recites. On the same date,
the auditor reports that the commits.
sioners disbursed the entire amount
for court house and Jail repairs.
This, the auditor states, is the only
evidence in possession of SocOrro
county to show that such loan had
been made and disbursed.
The proceeds of the loan, so the re-
port declares, never were placed in
the county treasury and never ap-
peaTed on the books of the county
treasurer The money, the auditor
says, was deposited to the credit of
SOcOrro county by David Farr. chair
man and subsequently disbursed pre-
sumably upon the check Of the said
David Farr thereby establishing some
thing entirely new and unique in the
method of handling county monies.
The resolution whereby this loan
was negotiated, the auditor says, pro-
yides that the loan should be repaid
out Of the court house and Jail repair
fund. But this resolution Mr.. Guilfoil
says, was not complied with and he
furnishes list Of county warrants to
show how this money was repaid. This
is the list:
Warrant &c court house and
Jail fund -. -. -. ..$ 50, 900 90
Warrant No. 429 road fund. 100000
Warrant No. 40 court house
and Jail fund -. -. .... 1000. 90
Warrant No. AL, road fund. 100000
Warrant No. 473 road fund. 100000
Warrant No. 4S4 ......... 1864
The auditor reports that the coun-
t. commissioners had absolutely no
power whatever, to borrow this sum
OF money nor TO disburse it nor repay
i III this manner under existing laws.
Commenting upon the subject, the re-.
port says:
While the fuRGs may have been
expended for the full benefit of the
county, he practice is questioned
in its regularity and is at direct
variance with the statutes The
whole proposition is one NOT IN
LINE WITH SOUND BUSINESS
Policies"

JUGGLING OF FUNDS
A COMMON THING.

Copies of resolutions are submitted
BY the auditor showing that the coun-
ty commissioners transferred $5,734.-
s. from the sinking fund to the coun-
tY general fund. Resolutions also
We're turned in showing an advance
Oh $1,000 to A. B. Baca, the assessor
payable from the road fund with pro-
visions that same be deducted from
the commissions accruing to the said
assessor and that when the same had
accrued, the $1,000 was returned NOT
to the road fund but to THE WILD
ANIMAL BOUNTY FUND.
Commenting thereon the report
says:
The sinking fund is created for
the payment of interest and princi-
pal on county debt and cannot,
therefore, legally be used for any
other purpose. The transfer from
the sinking fund to the general
county fund was, without question,
made for definite purpose and this,
purpose was undoubtedly to enable
officials interested, to secure def
cient salaries due them on previous
fiscal years which according to the
statutes could not be paid from
funds current in the present fiscal
year.
No regard was given by the Off
cials to the statutes covering the
transfer of funds nor was any re-
gard given to the statutes that gov
ern payment of current expenses.
SANTA FE RAILWAY
STILL OWES TAXES.
The auditor reports that the Santa
Fe Railway company owes the county
OF Socorro the imposing sum of S14,.
9e6.S7 to all of which the railway
, company objects for various reasons
as shown in a list of correspondence
which is now in the possession OF
Governor Mcdonald. The auditor re.
ports that the attorney general holds
that some Of the Santa Fe railway
company's objections are not well
founded and that in view of the situa-
! tlon, 1t is up to the district attorney
to bring action TO determine the legal.
ity of the claims.
in discussing taxation the auditor
says:
In the levy of 1911 for bridge
purposes, no petition, as required
TO the statutes, was filed. In lew
ing for school purposes, certificates
OF leVies in excess of 5 mills must

Likewise CALLED

Oyster Bay, n. Y, Aug. 27.-Colo-
mel Roosevelt desired to bring the
names of Alton B. Parker, democratic
nominee for the presidency in 1904,
and James Sherman, vice-president of
the United States, into the inquiry
into campaign contributions author
lied Yesterday by the senate by the
adoption of the Penrose resolution.
He said today that he would place
their names before the senate COM
mittee in his letter to Senator Clapp.
Il shall include in my letter to
Senator Clapp," the colonel said, "the
letter | wrote to Judge Parker in
1904, and my letter to Jim Sherman
on the Hartman contribution. |
think they are pertinent to the in
quiry and | want to get them on the
record"
The letter to Judge Parker was in
reply to Judge Parker's charge that
Roosevelt's 1904 campaign fund had
been enriched 100000 by Standard
Oil company contribution. The letter
to Mr.. Sherman gave the Roosevelt
version of the Harriman-Roosevelt
controversy over a contribution by
the late E. H. Hartman of S260,000
to the 1904 campaign fund.
Nor will Colonel Roosevelt allow
to go unchallenged the report that
Philander c. Knox, now secretary Of
state, saw him in 1904, as he was die
tating letter to George B. Cortel-
you about the alleged Standard Oil
contribution and told him that the
money had been spent and could not
be returned; and that Colonel Roose-
welt remarked that the letter was
/ being written for the record "Mr.
Knox may have heard ne say these
letters will put the record straight
or this will establish a record of my
attitude, but it is certainly not to be
inferred from this remark q don't
