SOME PECUuAR|T|ES
IN SALARIES BILLS
OPEN FOR EXPLANATION
WHY SHOULD OFFICIALS ELECTED BY the PEOPLE RECEIVE SUMS FOR
SERVICES they NEVER RENDER OUT OF ALL PROPORTION WITH WHAT
they COULD EARN AS PRIVATE CITIZENS?
COUNTY BILL IS A PIPPIN AND
ITS POSSIBILITIES AMAZING

possible loss. There is no exception
made in the present bill. However,
such matters have to do, only with
the Inconsistencies between the re-
spective counties and not with the
bill as a whole. The measure taken
by and large, is an injustice to the
taxpayer and starts the new state Off
on basis that is disastrous and a
poor precedent for the future.
1t is a matter of common knowl
edge that in one of the big coun-
ties, a treasurer who would receive
$4,000 a year under this bill, pays a
competent clerk $500 year to do
the work and it is doubtful if the
aforesaid treasurer could actually
perform the work of the office person.
ally. In other words, he expects to
pocket the difference merely for Civ
ing bond and holding the office.
1t is said that the income of some
sheriffs for feeding prisoners has ev-
en- reached the high water mark of
$4,000 year.
But these are not the worst fea.
lures of the bill in question.
Section two of the county salaries
bill provides that whenever during
any calendar year. the fees earned
and turned into the county treasury
by the county clerk, exclusive of
those derived from the district court,
as shown by the certificate of the coun-
ty treasurer, shall exceed. in coun-
ties of the first class, $4,000; In
counties of the second class, the sum
Of $4,000; in counties of the third
class the sum of $3.50; in counties
of the fourth class $4,000 and in
counties of the fifth class the sum OF
$4,000, the salary of such county clerk
for the succeeding calendar year
shall be increased rs per centum. In
other words, say the amount in coun-
ties of the first class ran over the
prescribed sum just one dollar, the
clerk would receive an increase OF 20
per ConJulN Oh HIS Sdldly VI Y1,ooV.
That increase would amount to the
tidy sum of $1,000 Those who have
studied the constitution assert that
such a provision is in direct conflict
with the constitution, yet such pro-
vision has been placed in the county
salaries bill by the two finance COM
mittees. - fsf E
But what is of equal importance, in
neither the county, bill nor the dis
trict attorney bill. has any duty or
procedure been prescribed for Off
cials to insure that when such sala-
ries are paid, the people will even re-
ceive pretense Of service therefor.
These are the salary bills that it is
by the present legislature. to
enact into law for the first act OF Off
cials in the new state Of New Mexi-
CO. 1t is not to be wondered at, that
the people are asking why?

TAKE SOME POSITIONS.
Mexico City, Mex, Feb. 1.-THE
contending rebels and federal forces
occupied the same positions this
morning as at the beginning of the
fighting yesterday.
An effort by the federals to isolate
the rebels from their water supply
was ineffective because there are
number of the artesian wells in the
portion of the city occupied by the
rebels.
According to reports from the fed
eral lines Felix Diaz utilized the night
hours in further fortifying the posi-
tions he had taken up and which
even yesterday had proved strong
enough to withstand the fire of the
government troops.
The federal force was strengthened
during the night by reinforcements
of both artillery and infantry The
new arrivals took up positions along
the streets leading to the scene of
battle.
The streets of the capital during
the hours of darkness had the appear
ance of great armed camp Senti-
nels challenged all passers-by al each
corner. Soldiers of all branches of
the service slept on the ground while
large numbers of horses were tether-
ed in the great Alameda Park, many
of the cavalrymen lying down beside
them.
In many parts of the city the elec-
trio wires were cut by bullets and
this resulted in long stretches of al.
most complete darkness.
Thousands of residents took ad.
vantage of this to escape from the
zone of danger. The exodus began in
the early hours of the night, as soon
as the people realized that firing had
temporarily ceased

N. M. Parker of the depot restaurant has arrived in Trinadad, Col, and has been interviewed by the press.
