The Value Depreciates

For many years the county has leased its convicts to owners of coal mines In 1904 the county made a contract with the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company, as a result of which Ia good financial return was received Under the terms of this contract the company paid the county SPA per month for each able bodied male convict above the age of 16; SIS per month for convicts of the second class, and s1O per month for females and boys.
 In 1908 when the Tennessee com panys contract expired no other prop osition in any respect as good was of fered by that company or any other company. Eventually the members Of the board requested the officials of the Pratt Consolidated Coal company to lease the convicts. After certain ne- gotiations the present contract was drawn up. Under its provisions for all able bodied male convicts above the age of 16 the company pays the coun- ty $1050 The company provides cloth ing and food for the women and boys. but pays nothing to the county for their services.

Thirty-Six Candidates Have Pledged Themselves to
 Change Conditions
IF THREE SUCCEED
 MATTER Is SETTLED
Indicated That After December 31 Conyicts Will Be Taken From Mines and Put to Work
 on the Roads
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

The indications are that the county convicts after January l 1913, will be put to work on the county roads. Thirty-six of the 60 candidates for the board of revenue have pledged themselves to work. in case of their election. to this end. It is fact, therefore, that if three from the above list of those who have pledged are nominated today during their term of office the county convicts will not be leased to the operators of coal mines.
 The sentiment in Jefferson county Is strongly solidifed against the present custom of leasing convicts to coal operators. and in favor of putting them to work on the roads of the county It seems to be the prevailing opinion that a convict deserves a treat ment more humane than his subjection to danger of life in the bowels of the earth. And the sentiment for good roads and more good roads in this nn 4e- x-at. atxt

JUST A STRAIGHT RusrNraa TALK

After election day next November.
View Mexico will have one representa-.
tive in congress. lie will be either II.
Is. FERGUSON, democrat, or Nathan Jaf.
ia, republican. The Roosevelt third.
torn movement has become a hilarious
Joke as far Ms New Mexico ia concerned
and need no longer be considered.
Now, personally, Mr.. FERGUSON aud
Nr. Jaffa are both clean men. Neither
has been besmirched with the mire Of
questionable politics. The question nj
issue, rs far ~ this state is concerned,
Is not one Of mere politics; It is one Of
cold, straight business.
New Mexico is one Of the leading
wool states Of the union. The wool
business reaches into every county in
the state. Tens Of thousands Of citi.
lcns are directly or indirectly engaged
in the industry. II is the foundation
Of the prosperity Of hundreds Of towns
md villages. For a vast number Of
our population It is the direct means of
livlihood. For thousands of men Il
means daily wages; comfortable homes;
n satisfactory living; a bank account;
in short, prosperity. For thousands
Of merchants II means good steady pa.
ronage. A blow at the sheep and wool
business, anything which will depress
the industry and make II Improbable,
is a blow at every line Of business In
the state. No intelligent business man
lcnies this.
II. b. FERGUSON, by party realty, is
pledged to vote in congress against the
protection Of the wool industry by the
tariff and against tho protection Of
New Mexico's wool market.
Nathan JaGa Il, pledged to vote and
work tor the tariff policy which means
the fostering and upbuilding Of the
New Mexico wool business. You can.
not escape the issue.
How he shall vote is a matter 70 be
decided not by the hereditary politi.
cal affiliations Of the New Mexico voter
but by his sane, everyday business com
mon sense. No sensible man interested
in his own bread and butter would vote
deliberately 20 discourage the farming
industry, or the mining industry or to
close up the dry goods stores or the
FIGURING mills. We do not believe he
will ID so in the matter of the wool in.
