MAY BE ILLEGAL

Santa Fe, n M, March l3.-This
morning the main question at issue
in the state capitol is whether or not
bill which passed the houses yester-
day and this morning, and which the
governor may wish to approve, are
legal or illegal. The majority man
ayers claim that they are. The op-
position asserts that they are not
Should these measures be enacted in
to law there seems little doubt that
some of them at least will be tested
in the courts.
That the bills passed over the veto
Immediately after the noon hour yes
terday probably are legally passed
seems to be conceded, since there had
been no break in the session and since
many times the courts have sustain
ed the pushing back of the legislative
clock. But the matter of exceeding
what appears to be the constitutional
time limit by whole day is going
of the majority whose anxiety over
the procedure was shown when they
insisted that the general appropria-
ton bill must get through by the
noon hour yerterday. u feat accom-
plished only with great effort and a
considerable personal sacrifice on the
paIt Of number of prominent re-
publicans.
The work yesterday afternoon and
last night was Of languid desultory
character, although many of the bills
passed are Of Importance. There was
evident general spirit of relaxing
and the evident idea that nothing
passed really mattered so very much
Further evidence Of the extreme
doubt on the part of the majority of
the validity Of its acts passed after
II o'clock noon of Friday was plainly
evident in the appropriation bill
wherein proviso is added to the ap-
preparation for the travelling audi
tors salary and expense account pro-
viding that no portion of such salary
or expense account should become
available or be made unless the pro-
visions of House Bill No. 249, the
travelling auditor bill, are enacted in
to law. II has been pointed out that
the governor may veto this provision
in the appropriation bill, so that II
the vetoed bill as passed should be
proven invalid, as some contend 1t
may be, the Office will still be in work
ing order.

QUARANTINE PLAYING HAVOC
Farmers Will Suffer Unless Quaran-
tine is Raised in Texas and Other
adjoining States

The local commission firms have
called a halt in the buying of maize
heads on account Of the quarantine.
which forbids the shipment of this
product TO the state of Texas. The
ban is also put on straw, hay and 9th
er products. The Whitmore Agency
has several dollars tied up in these
commodities and will lose consider
able unless the quarantine is raised
shortly.
This is caused by the foot and
mouth disease which is prevalent in
several states in the union.
II was thought best to put on n
rigid quarantine in those state af-
fected and thus stamp the disease out
more rapidly and then inspectors will
be put on to keep diseased cattle from
entering this country. Some think il
iirst started from bringing cattle TO
this country from South America, but
nothing definite has been learned
New Mexico is free from this dread
disease and the cattlemen are hopeful
OF keeping IL that way. In the mean
time every precaution is being taken
to stamp out the contagion and the
farmers will be unable to sell their
products outside of the state until
the quarantine is lifted.
Express companies even refuse TO
ship eggs II they are packed in straw
unless the straw has been known To
have been thoroughly dsinfected In
packing dishes or anything else you
should find out before you use straw
or hay to pack same or you may
have the shipment to repack.
The Whitmorc Agency cannot buy
any more maize heads until the quar-
antine Is lifted and do not know what
they will do with the large amount
already on hand hut we hope the
disease will soon be stamped out and
business will resume its usual magni-
tude, and the farmers will be able
TO turn their product into cash.
There is no foot and mouth dis
ease in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico
or California" said secretary Brad
ner. There is no reason why these
southwestern states should be abso-
lutely quarantined against each other
The plan of this board is to permit
shipments, but in each case with the
consent of the veterinarian of the
state to which the shipment is dcs-
tined. Cars should also be thorough
ly fumigated and cars from infected
districts should be rigidly excluded"
About 80 members of the Arizona
Cattle Growers association are To 90
to San Francisco in special Pullman
for the conference Of sanitary boards
and the annual convention of the
American National Livestock associa-
tion. The car is to leave Phoenix
Sunday evening.
Alfalfa growers in Chaves, Eddy
and Dona Ana counties of this state
estimate the alfalfa hay whose ship
ment to Texas markets was held UP
by the Texas quarantine against cat
tie forage from this state, is worth
over s75O.0OO.
Protest has been lodged with Gov
ernor Mcdonald and the state corpor-
alton commission. II is pointed out
that there is no foot and mouth infec-
ton in this state.

it known that the state was not sat

ticle in yesterdays Albuquerque Morn
ing Journal we notice that Mr.. Earl
George, cashier Of the First National
Bank of this city, is considered the

for the place and we hope those in
authority will see fit TO appoint Mr..
George to that office.

TO the plains are built and put in con-
dition for the farmers TO market their

money will be divided up so that ev-
cry community will derive It's share
Of benefits from the bond issue. Il

ture time when IL will be just as hard
to build roads without money as it is
today.

NEW SOURCE OF INCOME

The city has contracted with the
railroad company to furnish water
for all the passenger coaches passing
through this city. This was done on
account of the supply furnished by
the railroad wells not being rs clear
and good for drinking purposes as
the city's supply.
This will be good advertisement
for Tucumcari as our water Is the
best in the country and passengers
who drink this water will ask where
the water was taken on and when
told "Tucumcari" II will have its ef-
feet in boosting this city.
The new source of income will add
materially to the receipts in the wa
ter works fund and be of benefit in
more ways than one.

HAILJAS. HALL
THE WIND


Some men we know,
When the wind doth blow,
DO curse, and rave and howl:
THE sands a sight!
"The winds "a fright,
Just listen at 'er how'll"
They can't look out,
Nor go about
In search of any yen,
It's or their nerves;
IL always serves
Them so, these growing men.
The housewives scold,
They wish the old
Wind would soon stop its blow
ing.
The dust on floor,
It's all things DER,
It's deep and deeper growing;
In vain she sweeps;
The dust in creeps;
Through ev'ry crack it's leaking
She's filled with gloom
Because the room
With sand and dust is reeking.
Now then, this kind
or folks would find,
II wind should cease its blowing
The cattle biz"
Would be "fiz,"
No windmills would he going
These folks must learn
That mills won't turn
The water to supply,
When winds are still
So are windmills,
And drinking tubs are dry.
They'd like the clouds
To come in crowds,
And cover up the Heaven"
So they could get
Right "wringin' wet"
But by no winds they're driven.
When these winds cease,
And they have peace,
The heat will be intense
A foretaste here
OF future drear--
Then they viii "learn some -
sense"

WASHINGTON COMPLAINS
Of RICHMOND RATE
Action Of Roads In Raising Rates Re
ferred to BY Washington Attor-
now AS Subterfuge.

Especial to The Richmond Virginian)
Washington. ID, c., May 15.-The
action of the railroad companies in
ralsIg the freight rates from northern
points to Richmond to equal the
Washington rates was referred to as a
subterfuge through which the COM
panAes avoided the orders of the in
terstate Commerce Commission by
Chaplin Brown, r Washington attor-
ney, In the arguments before the COM
mission yesterday on the complaint of
the Washington Chamber of Com
merce, the Retail Merchants Associa-
ton and $50 individuals against the
railroad companies. An effort Is be-
inc made to compel the railroads TO
put into effect lower commodity rates
TO Washington.
f. P. Bates. assistant freight traffic
manager OF the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, testified this afternoon that the
Richmond rates were influenced by
the water rates to Norfolk. 1t was
said that the railroads had not is
.sred commodity rates because the
water lines DO not make such rates
and the railroads do not have to meet
them on a competitive basis. Mr..
Bates declared that II Washington
were to get lower rates the roads
would be subjected to the charge OF
discrimination from SOU ces In the
same territory in which Washington
is located.
The hearing was before Examiner
Puel.
