JOB HUNTERS MAKING

LEGISLATIVE MEMBERS

santa Re, Jan. 1S-The snarl over
the employees question which for
time threatened to disturb the har-
mony among the republicans of the
house. again occupied the attention
of the house caucus this fore
noon. While the dissatisfaction is
only at the surface and does not go
deep. yet it IL SO unpleasant that
there is an effort to devise ways and
means to prevent it in the future. 1t
seems that more than one legislator
heard for the first time yesterday that
the constitution places limit on the
number OF employees and The amount
that the legislature may appropriate
for their pay. 1t was news to them.
They had promised friends in good
faith to find a legislative job for them
and now they cannot deliver the
goods Naturally they are peeved.
1t is suggested that in the future en-
phasis be laid in conventions and dur
ing campaigns upon the constitution
al provision limiting legislative EN-
ployes and even to pledge legislative
candidates not to make any promises
of legislative jobs
1t is recalled that during the legis-
nature Of 1907. II. Q. Bursum paid
S773 out of his pocket after the leg
islators themselves had raised 1925
to send home the leftover applicants
who could secure no legislative posi-
tons. Unless some one equally as

legislative job will have to ride home

this is now out of the question.
Charity Bill Being Drawn.
one of the important measures,
which has been entrusted to Repre-
sentative \. b. Renehan to draft, is
that urged by the organized women of
the state, to provide for systematic
charity work under official county su-
pervision. 1t is planned TO create
board OF public welfare in each coun-
IT, to consist of three members to
serve without compensation. similar
to the county road boards. This board
is to dispense charity to the needy
TO act as a free employment bureau,
10 investigate the causes of restitution
and to gather statistics and data for
future legislation. one member Of
the board is to be a woman, and each
of the other two members is to belong
TO a different party. The members
are to be appointed by Che governor,
upon recommendation of the county
commissioners of each county.
1t is believed that three persons can
readily be found in each county VINO
will be willing to do the work quietly
honestly and theoretically, and that
without pay. AS at present there are
many persons engaged in charity
work in each community who are
doing the work under much more IN
favorable circumstances The tax
levy for charity, now optional under
al
commissioners, is to be made manda-
tory. the law prescribing minimum
and a maximum limit. Restrictions
will protect against abuse, ana "a de-

Representative From Santa Fe
County Selected for Most
important Post Outside Of
SpeakerShip,

Santa Fe Jan. 13.-Speaker Seeun-
dino Romero finds it more difficult
than he imagined to select the house
committees and to satisfy at the same
time his forty eight compadres who
would like 10 have anywhere from a
couple TO dozen chairmanships, and
he does Hot expect TO complete his
task until Friday morning.
1t Is Mr. Romero's intention 20 give
the democrats two places on each conf
mittee, which in itself appears to be
quite generous. but he may go even
further than that and allow them sew
eral chairmanships He is tonight
consulting the minority party mem
bers as to their preference on com
mittees.
A. b. RCnehan has been practically
assured the craftsmanship of the
finance committee. the most import
ant and powerful Of all the house
committees. the Craftsmanship Of
which in the senate is filled by John
S. Clark There is quite "a scramble
for the more important chairman
ships, especially those on education.
which- will probably be rendered to
Nestor Montoya, although it is not
yet known whether he will accept IT,
on public institutions, on printing, on
railroads, and on judiciary. The last
named viii go to Judge +. A. Mann
if he will take 1t.
The house committee on rules finds
its work more arduous than it had
anticipated, and after tonight's ses-
sion it seemed that it would take an
other day to formulate the rules in
such a way that no deadlock will occur
at this session, such as tied up the
house two years ago. II had been
expected that the committee would re-
port tomorrow morning, so that the
house could proceed with business but
this is now out Of the question.
