How to devote much time TO am

problem confronting the admlnistra-
ton senators and they have confided
10 some Of their friends the conclusion
that they cannot sec how much gen
eral legislation can be accomplished.
This situation of course. had revived
talke of an extra session. Although
the dominant party leaders are OPP
posed to the extra session, it is as
serted that one may be demanded
should the shipping bin fail. In any
event, il is said. it would not be called
until after the celebration of the OPP
ening of the Panama canal and the
presidents trip to San Francisco.
One source of hope to the democrats
has been that business might be eX-
pedited in night sessions of the SEN
ate. The party caucus agreed 10 this
some time ago, but three efforts 30
hold night sessions since have been
fruitless. owing to failure to muster
a quorum.

Senator c. II. Alldredge is working
on a bureau of immigration bill which
is 10 amphfy the present statute. lie
would provide for the maintenance OF
New Mexico headquarters in Chicago
ana New 'filfdAE VI shhAAtiftAAf7f
daily illustrated lectures on New
Mexico would be given, where litera-
ture would be distributed and where
a New Mexico immigration commits
sloner would direct people and give
information. He believes that much
of the advertising material gathered
for the san Diego exposition should be
kept in use. especially the lantern
slides and the mineral exhibit Chi
eago. he declares,a is the gateway fo:
the northwest and New Orleans or
Memphis for the southwest. New
Mexico's greatest need is more peo-
Die and more capital in his opinion
and il doesn't matter much whether
the executive appoints the immigra-
lion commissioner or whether the
state land commissioner has charge Of
the work or whether some other
agency is created as long as the work
is done and done well.
Senator Alldredgc would authorize
boards Of county commissioners to ap-
propriate sums of money annually for
the maintenance of such eastern and
southern headquarters. 1t is pointed
out, for instance. that the Chamber
Of Commerce of Las Cruces has voted
$4,000 annually to cooperate with El
Paso to advertise the Mesilla valley.
Demng's Chamber of Commerce
spends $4,000 annually. 1t is Sena-
tor Alldredge's belief that this ad-
yertsing could be done more econom-
icaly and effectively under the su-
peryision of a state bureau of immi-
grafton.
