The general appropriation bill went
before the senate committee on finance

There are. only seven days OF the
present session left.
Some Personal Tits.
Newspapers came in for q good deal
of the attention of the New Mexico SEN
ate yesterday and incidentally the
members said uncomplimentary things
about each other in one or two cases.
Senator Isaac Barth saw cause in an
article in the Albuquerque Evening
Herald to erUpt. In passing. he an
nOunced that ne paid no attention to
articles appearing in the Albuquerque
Journal unfavOrable to himself which
ne minated was unfavOrable to him,
because they were written by "a tramp
printer named Fox, who was already
under Indictment for alleged criminal
libel" Senator Mabry paid his comDi-
mentS to the press generally IN 4
statement that the members OF the
minority who had supported the gov
ernOr's veto Of the salary bill had been
called peanut politicians. which he
said they resented and denied. On the
floor Of the senate. senator Hinkle told
Mr. Ma brE who is the former publisher
of a weekly paper at Clovis. that what
the newspaper men said was true. and
that he. at least, was q peanut politi-
Object to Article.
Senator Barth took exceptions to the
following paragraph in the AlOuquer-
que Herald
Democratic senators are active on
the floor of the house at every session
and the story is current that two SEN
ators, said to have been Barth and
Aiabry. recently threatened representa-
tive Manzanares, Of Fort Sumner. with
the veto of the Sumner county bill If
Mr. ManZanares persisted in voting for
the county salary bill 1t is not claimed
that the senators were authorized by
governor Mcdonald to make this state

He declared the article absolutely
false.
No sooner had he subsidized than sen
ator Nabry was on his feet. He, too,
wanted TO speak to a question Of per
sonaI privilege" He declared that as
he had been included in the article to
which exception was taken, he wished
10 deny the story
He declared that the directors sought
TO justify their statements by saying
that the so-called governors county
salary bill was higher than the COM

asserted that he had compared them
and had found the governors Dill

The statement was unfortunate, for
a moment later Mr.. Hinkle was on the
floor. I wish the senator from Curry
county would figure this question with
the same sharp pencil that he uses TO
figure printing bills in his own county
That brought the gavel quick and
hard. and he had to omit personalities
for awhile
provisions of the governors bill placed
no limit upon the number Of deputies
that might be appointed and declared
that this was a source Of great evil
He intimated that II could also be made
a source for graft He declared that
the committee bill set a limit

been a Democrat all that time and l
think can show this gentleman some
thing The gavel blurred what else
he had to say. but 1t was somethinS
about questioning his democracy He
concluded: AS for this gentleman IN
dicating Mabry. the newspapers are
right. He is a peanut politician
