COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
DISREGARD PRINTING LAW
County Treasurers Rights Ignored in Submitting Deln
quent List for Publication. Damn the Law
Commissioners Supreme.

The last session of the New
Mexico legislature pass I'd law,
providing that the County treas.
urer SHALL PREPARE AND
HAVE PUBLISHED the delin-
quent tax lists" The law re.
quiring that such lists be pub
lished in the official paper was
repealed.
Acting upon what he consider
ed his legal authority, County
treasurer, X. E. Brown prepared
the list and attempted to call for
bids and submit tn prin ting to
the lowest bidder, but was ad.
vised by the district attorney in
a letter ITO Consult the County
Commissioners and in Conjunc-
tion with them, publish the
lists.
Brown took the position that
if the County Commissioners
were going to have anything to
do with it, he was not. (which
was probably the right view to
take, and allowed the Commits.
sioners to award the printing of
the list to the Journal without
asking for bids. The News sub
mitted a bid Offering to do the
work for half the legal rate, but
this bid was uncerimoniously
consigned to chairman Dough-
tons inside pocket and no record
of the proceeding made on the
minutes.
following is a letter from
Attorney General. Frank w.
Clancy, regarding the matter
of printing tax lists which is
self explanatory.
Santa Fe, N. NJ, June IA, 1915.
Mr.. A. E. Curren,
Clovis. N. M.
Dear Sir:
l have just received your
letter of the 18th inst. relative
to publication of delinquent tax
lists. 1t has not been my view,
nor have | consciously said to
anyone that the publication of
the delinquent tax lists was in
the hands of the commissioners
and that the treasurer had moth.
ing to do with it. The statute
distinctly provides as you say,
that the collector shall prepare
and cause to be published the
delinquent tax lists. and am
unable to reconcile that language
with the idea that the county
commissioners are to publish the
delinquent tax list.
There must be some misunder-
standing on the part of Mr..
Scott or Mr.. Brown with regard
to this matter. / feel quite cer-
tain that have written to some
one not long since, that the pub
lication of the delinquent tax
list was to be made by or under
the direction of the county treas
urer.
The last statute on the subject
of the publication of delinquent
tax lists is Chapter SO of the
laws of 1915, which l hope will
soon be distributed to the differ
ent counties.
Very truly yours,
Frank w. Clancy,

CURRY COUNTY CROPS

Wheat Harvests 40 Bushels to Acre. Rains General,
Prospects Best in History for Prosperous Year.

One of the standard geogra-
phies has this to say of New
Mexico:
The excellent climate of New
Mexico is proverbial. The alti-
tude. latitude and peculiar ar
rangement of its relief forms
all combine to greatly modify
weather conditions. It's pure
invigorating atmosphere, the
continuous sunshine a d the
noticeable absence of extreme
heat and cold make it unsur-
passed for healthfulness and
comfort. It's durable qualities,
especially for tuberculosis is a
matter of national reputation,
and many diseases common to
east are practically unknown to
the natives. An outdoor life,
especially in the southern part
of the state, is possible for all
the year around. The average
humidity of Santa Fe is 46 per
cent. while that of Chicago is rs
per cent"

CURRY COUNTY

Reports are coming in from
all parts of the county showing
that the farmers are taking a
greater interest in the crops
than ever before. Eastern New
Mexico, and especially Curry
county has produced good crop
for the past three years and the
prospects at this writing are
better than they were at any
time at this season of the year.
for the past three. The wheat
harvest is now in progress and
many fields will average from
twenty five to forty bushels of
wheat to the acre. An abun-
dance of rain has fallen over the
greater part of the county and
the other crops are in the best
of condition. Live stock of all
kinds are sleek and fat and
many farmers still have unfed
forage stuff left over from last
wears crop.

OATS A COMING CROP

Local seed men say that they
have sold many times as much
oats for seeding purposes this
year than ever before and the
crop is in the pink of condition.
One farmer near Claud has a
fine crop of oats which he has
just harvested and its yield was
a pleasant surprise to even the
most optimistic. Another farm
er near Plain has out forty acres
and many others this year are
trying this crop.
BIG MONEY IN WHEAT
What would you say if some
one would tell you where you
could invest five dollars and
make forty, or for every five
invested the return would be
forty dollars. That is just what
some of the Curry County farm
ers have done this year by rails
ing wheat that harvested forty
bushels to the acre on land that
cost five dollars. Wheat is now
selling at $1.10. This statement
may seem unreasonable but it is
nevertheless a fact. Sam Pip
kin of near Claud, twelve miles
north of Clovis has just finished
harvesting this years crop of
wheat which yielded 40 bushels
to the acre by actual measure
ment and weighed 62 l-2 pounds
to the bushel. What Mr.. Pip
kin has done, many others have
also. We have lin our possession
affidavits substantiating t h e
above stated facts in words as
