cent in the transaction and that in
stead of having $l,460,00O of the per
manent school funds loaned to the
farmers Of the state as the law con
templates, and the interest distribut-
ed annually for the maintenance Of
our common schools, We are labor
ing under the burden of an additional
state, and in addition thereto we are
year by year paying tax to defray
interest on money that ought to be
paying interest to us. Add to all this
the fact that We arc each year taxed
to provide that years share of a
sinking fund to meet the bonds at ma
turity, and you have the true signl.
ficance to the people of that parti-
cular ITEM in the financial system
of the Democratic administration.
Follow this TO It's conrhsion and
we have this from the record:

it is conceded that the result of this
campaign ought TO be determined on
the merits of the Democratic rinan-
cial system. If so, then the victory
is already ours.
Building Lands.
The area of the public building
lands granted to the state was 274,22S
acres.
1t was believed that with the certain
growth of population and consequent
development Of the wealth Of the
state these lands would furnish
revenue which would relieve the peo-
pie of all burdens Of taxation for the
erection of such public buildings as
the Increasing business of the state
might from time to time demand.
The covetous Democratic eye fell

lays the foundation OF his defense in
this wise:
at the time Of statehood there
were outstanding approximately
s1,i6000 Of per cent warrants Is
sued by the Territorial government,
and, Of course, assumed by the new
state. The first legislature after
statehood provided for the funding
Of these warrants by authorizing a
funding bond issue to take up these
outstanding warrants. These bonds
draw per cent interest and sold ct
premium. thereby saving a differ
pnce on the interest to the tax payers
on $1.46O,0O0 the sum Of $4,000 an
nually."
It is well worth the while of the
tax payers Of this state to make n
careful examination of the foregoing
statement. in as much as it involves
matters which were made not only
the foundation. but the very corner
stone itself of the financial policy Of
the Democratic party.
On the 9Th day Of March, 1908, the
Governor approved an Act authoril-
ing the issuance of the S1,460,0O0 If
per cent. bonds referred TO by Mr..
Meyer. (Session Laws 1907-s, p.
1850 1t is provided in section Of
that Act that said bonds when issued
shall be deposited with the Commits
sioners Of the Land Office, who arc
value thereof from the permanent
school fund"
Under the law our school funds are
loaned at per cent. The bonds
bear per cent and sold for their par
value--not at premium. The state
gained / per cent in the transaction,
but the permanent school fund lost
IT, This act was passed ostenslbly
for the purpose Of funding Territorial
warrants, but its real purpose is re-
vealed in section Of the Act, which
contains an appropriation of 100000

contingent expenses supreme court
and the balance was swallowed up in
the general appropriations Of that
year In addition to all this, Mr..
Meyer conceals from the people the
fact that the state received from the
Territory a large sum in cash and did
not inherit any debt of any kind
from the Territory in excess of the
cash received from it. This statement
oontradicts the often asserted ana
generally accepted claim of Il rerri.
torial debt, and its proof will natural
ly he demanded.
| refer YOU to the first act passed
by the state Legislature (Session laws
of 1907S,) whereby the sum ol
IS, 900 was appropriated to enable the
governor to check up the accounts of
the Territorial Treasurer. The APP
preparation was expended, but so far
as can be ascertained, no report WAS
ever made public. for the obvious
reason that nothing was found not 10
the advantage of the Republican
authorized to advance to the state
the par administration Of the Ter
ritorys affairs.
The first state treasurer, Mr.. j. a.
Menefee, submitted to the Legislature
his report, now a most difficult docu-
met to obtain. He showed by his re-
port the exact condition of every
fund, in detail, covering fifty-seven
pages and setting forth the amount
of cash in each fund which he re-
ceived from the Territorial Treasurer
The showing of this Democratic re-
port to Democratic Legislature Is
most remarkable in this. that there
was not a single fund in the Territory
in which there was not a cash bal
ance.
In the recapitulation Of cash bal
ances made by the State Treasurer
on page "a of his report IS this
Balance from Territorial Treasurer
$L171,3G4.35."
on page so of same report is this
statement;

The difference between the cash
turned over and the outstanding
warrants shows that over and above
all Territorial Indebtedness the state
treasurer received in cash the sum Of
S2S0,496.29 with which to start the
business of new state. We thus
have Democratic record evidence
proving conclusively that the state
did not inherit a debt from the Ter
ritory In excess OF the cash received
from 1t; that the s1,460,000 Of bonds
were not for the purpose of paying
a Territorial debt; that the bonds
did not sell for premium, and that

Some of our Arizona contempor.
aries have been indulging in the be,
lief that the Democrats in the Ari.
zona legislature were brainer men
than the Republicans in the New
Mexico legislature. What a vain
boast.
That Republican bunch in the New
Mexico legislature can give the Ari.
zona Democratic legislators four acrs
and the joker and beat them every
time.
They thought out scheme and
manufactured brand new kind of
whitewash, applied it, pronounced
it good and made it stick in few
weeks, that our Democrats could
not have done in a hundred years.
About the first act of four mem
bers of the New Mexico legislature
was to accept bribes for their votes
for u. S. Senator'S. The bribe
money was $500 each. They were
caught by the officers in the act of
accepting the money. They were
and placed in Jail. The
proof was positive and plain, and
for awhile it looked like they would
