may swing many Progressive Republic
can votes in the senate in the tariff
fight has the hearty approval of Pres
ident Wilson. 1t became known to-
day that Mr. Wilson expects to have
conference with Senator Lafollette
of Wisconsin, within a few days and
that conferences with other Pro
gressives will follow.
The first conference with Senator
LaFollette will be over questions OF

discuss all Wisconsin appointments
with him. 1t will be the first visit of
Senator LaFollette TO the White

sent to the senate two more veto mes
sages whereby n. B. No 6S-Whlch
permits county commissioners to
transfer funds to the bridge building
fund; and Senate Bill No. 166-The
public library bill, were rejected by
the executive
The governor told his reasons for
vetoing these bills in plain. frank Ian
suage as was the case in his veto
messages on the salaries bill
He stated that he vetoed the bridge
bill, which several prominent mem
ters of the Old Guard have been care
fully nursing through this session. on
the ground that the tax payers had a
right to know when he was taxed for
a certain fund, that the money would
be so expended.
He vetoed the library bill because
ii sought to take away the right OF
his Office to appoint the librarian and
place it under the supreme court,
which is judicial and not an execu-
tive branch of the government.
The governors message concerning
the library bill is a remarkable one
in that it exposes the scheme Matched
up to retain certain person in the
Office of state librarian. The governor
does not name any person involved in
the deal, but he fearlessly and thor
oughly exposes the entire scheme. He
makes the statement that the bill was
drawn at the instigation of an in
dividual who was interested in keep
ing a member of the family in the
library. He also says that propo-
sition was made to him to divide the
patronage by creating the Office OF
deputy librarian, and he denounces
such legislation In the most emphatic
terms.
The veto message on the bridge
bills is as follows:
March 18th, 1913.
To the Honorable President and Mem
bers of the Senate, Santa Fe, n.
NJ.
Gentlemen:
I return herewith, without my ap-
proval, Senate Substitute for House
Bill No. 6S, entitled, IAN Act to EN-
power County Commissioners to Con-
tract for tha Construction of Bridges
under certain circumstances and to
provide the funds therefore"
The Objectionable feature of this
bill is, that it authorizes and empow.
ers boards OF county commissioners
10 borrow flom any fund, including,
apparently, interest fund, and trans
for for the benefit of fund for build
ing bridges. The only limit to the
amount that can be transferred in this
manner is that it shall not exceed
twenty-five per centum Of the total
aggregate funds on hand in the county
treasury And then, there is no
limit to the levy that can be made for
paying this back. This would enable
an enthusiastic road or bridge board
to deplete not only the court and
school funds, but even the interest
and sinking funds, which certainly
should remain intact and undisturbed
There has been a practice In some
counties of New Mexico, unauthorized
by law, similar to the provisions Of
this bill, legalizing such action. Such
action of boards of county commits.
sioners has met with condemnation !
from taxpayers, though no effort, as
far as l know, has ever been made
to compel them to desist from this
Objectionable practice. [
To legalize such reprehensive con-
duct, would, in my opinion, be the
height of folly. and not at all salts

have a right to presume that they

The great Treadwell mines on the island have long been famous for their low cost. In January last. the group produced and treated 12S.5S3 tons of ore. The average cost for the whole group of mines. including construc- ton account. was t1.27 per ton. This s the more notable from the fact that operating costs are highest in the winter. when the minimum of water power is available ard the snow and cold Introduce other complica tions. Actual operating costs in the sum- mer months have been brought below so cents per ton. and with additional oeveiopment of watcr-power and completion of m extensive construc- uon program, low costs the year around are to be expected.
