There We're so many different
speakers last night that it would be
impossible to condense their remarks
into such limited space but the boost
/ ing sentiment was the same state
wide in all respect, and not limited
! to Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Ration, Las
| Cruces, Las Vegas, Deming, Roswell
nor any other locality. Ii was a big
/ get together meeting for the new
state and it is the first step in the
! dawning of new era for New Mex
/ leo.
And the knocker-- what of him?
| That was a question disposed of by
several speakers. There was just
one opinion upon the subject and that
was-the knocker is going to go. He
is going to go whether he be the
knocker of the individual, the knock.
el Of business, the knocker of pros
perity or just plain, ordinary, com
devotes his entire time to knocking.
The methods to be used to this end
will be firm and to the point for either
there will be united action within
the new state now or there will be
sweeping and complete expose of the
reasons contrary thereto.
The fight inangurated by the Santa
Fe New Mexican for an equitable and
just tax rate, distributed fairly and
honestly between the people, was
also the text of several speeches and
ii was the concensus of opinion that
there could be little accomplished nm
til a new tax system was secured. This
session Of the legislature will be ask
ed to deal with this question without
gloves, and it it does so, it will receive
the solid support of the people of the |
new state as represented by the meet |.
