SUCCESSOR TO BURNS
WILL BE ELECTED
ATTORNEY GENERAL is ASKED
TO ISSUE THE PROPER
PROCLAMATION

Santa Fe, Sept 10.-Governor Nc
Donald has asked the attorney gem
erals office to draw up an election
proclamation for the election of a
state senator in Rio Arriba county to
succeed Thomas D. Burns, resigned.
For time Governor Mcdonald was
undecided whether he should accept
the resignation, which had been ad-
dressed to him as we'll as to the lieu
tenant governor, who is presiding of
fieer of the state senate, and every
member of the state senate, but At
torney General Frank w. Clancy in
lengthy and most interesting opin-
ion advises the governor to accept
the resignation, not because there is
any law for it but because the con-
stitution says it is up to him to call
an election in case of vacancy and
under a decision of the supreme court
cited by Mechem on public officers
and public offices it is proper for him
to accept the resignation. Incident
ally the attorney general makes it
clear that resignation from public
office is not necessarily right on
which a public officer can insist but
that such resignation may be refused
and the public officer compelled to
continue in his office until his term
expires or be eliminates himself some
other way.
However, it has been tacitly under

MUCH INTEREST SHOWN
IN GOOD ROAD PLANS

Good Roads headquarters at the
Commercial club are becoming very
busy place. Visitors are becoming
numerous as the the number of volun-
teer workers increases. The interest
manifest is Increasing at perceptible
rate. A force is at work sending out
literature and personal letters to hun
dreds of workers.
Contributions are beginning to come
in freely and public spirited citizens
are arousing to the necessity of putting
up a fight for the bond issue in
Marion county. Silverton was the
first to respond with contribution
for the campaign expenses, sending the
amount asked for by the committee
and some oyer-$150.50.
One public spirited farmer in Brooks
precinct sent half the assessment asked
for-fifty dollars-saying it was
busy day with him on the farm and he
would gladly give the whole if it could
not be raised from others. Farmers
are coming in every hour saying they
are for the new system of building
permanent highways.
A canvass for campaign funds to
pay for meetings, literature and speak
ers will be made of the whole county
and voluntary subscriptions are solic-
tied by the general committee. A pub
licity department. has been established
and the cooperation of all the news
papers in the county has been asked
by the general committee.
A rousing mass meeting is to be held
at Salem Saturday, May 2, at which
speakers will be present from Wash
ington and from this state, to be pre-
sided over by the Governor, with
speaking in the afternoon and evening.
1t will be the opening of the speaking
campaign and then every precinct of
the county will be visited by speakers.
