The Kenna record. (Kenna, Roosevelt County, N.M.) 190?-1924, 1916-11-03

during the last legislative session for
the specific purpose of framing the
tax legislation to be placed on the
statute books of New Mexico; who
framed 1t, and who remained on guard
until 1t was safely through.
Can you guess in whose interest
they worked?
Was It in your interest, OF in the
interest Of the powerful corporations
of which they are high-salaried repre-
senatives?
Can you imagine Mr.. Springer and
Mr.. Hawkins spending weeks in Santa
Fe in connection with tax legislation
that would curtail the benefits and re-
duce the profits of the corporations
In which they are interested and
which they represent?
Can you imagine them, out of the
solicitude and sympathy for the small
taxpayer, striving to make his dream
of equal taxation come true?
CAN YOU?
Bursum Also a Circumstances.
But Springer and Hawkins were not
the only circumstances" connected
with the passage of tax legislation by
the, last Legislature. Another princi
pal circumstance" was Mr.. Bursum
himself, whose name the tax law
bears, and who stands sponsor for the
measure.
Springer and Hawkins framed the
tax legislation. Bursum put II
through.

Bill Poster Finishing Work Compliance With Imperial Command

The first picture shows Democratic campaign pos
ter shortly after it had been placed billboard in
SOcorro by j. r. Vigil the SocorTo billposer, poor
with family dependent upon him.
AS the Bursum authorities heard of the pos
ter they communicated with VIGIL informing him that
unless the Democratic advertising Immediately
cred his license would be revoked and he would
be allowed to post another bill in Socorro.
Vigil had entered into agreement to display the
poster and he wanted to live to it, But he reflected
that Bursum all powerful in SocOrro, and that
fly into poverty and distress So he set about to comply
with the imperial command.
The second picture shows Vigil at work covering
the Democratic advertising The third picture shows his
task almost completed.
1t will be noted that the Democratic poster contained
personal references.
Why were the 8ursum authorities afraid to have the
people Of Soeorro view II? Did the shoe fit?
The day that Bursum lieutenants forced the

Socorro bposter up the Democratic advertis
ing they also forced the crippled proprietor of Socorro
moving picture heater to discontinue the exhibition of
Democratic campaign Slides under pain of having his
license revoked.
The man in complete control in the town of socorro
is now the Republican candidate for Governor of New
Mexico
He is posing the friend of the Common People; as
the candidate of Fair Play and the Square Deal
The pictures above tell graphic story of Fair Play
and Square Deal
They graphically tell of the in which power
is used in his home town, where he is the municipal
head.
Are the voters of New~Mexico willing that this
shall be enlarged to take in the state?
Are they willing that honest Woodworking American
citizens shall be coerced inundated and terrorized?
Are they willing that Gag Rule shall prevail in New
Mexico?
Are they willing to place the executive machinery in
the hands of a who stands for such methods?
Are you living in Darkest Russia Free America?
The Kenna record. (Kenna, Roosevelt County, N.M.) 190?-1924, 1916-11-03

The report that H. o. Bursum, Re
publican candidate for governor, has
promised the office of state game war
den to former warden Thomas p. Ga
BILE, If Brsum is elected, is warning
to the voters of what kind of game
protection they will get in case the
Republicans carry the election. The
foregoing comparison between the rec.
ord of Gable and that of his Demo.
cratic successor, Trinidad G. de Baca
shows clearly that the state would
take a disastrous backward step in
case Bursum is enabled to carry out
his reported promise to Gable.
The. remarkable improvement in the
conduct of the office of game warden
since de Baca took charge is shown
beyond possibility of dispute by the
records of the office. These records
which are open to anyone who wishes
to see them, show that
While Gable ran the office for 49,.
600 year and was helped out by leg
islative appropriation, de Baca put it
on a self-supporting basis at $4,000 q
year.
At an increase of $4,000 a year de
Baca has effectively pollced the state
with a large force of deputies, placed
in the streams twice as many fish,
stocked the game ranges with over
twice as many quail, four times as
many elk and four times as many
pheasants.
De Baca has distributed an average
of approximately three times the
Nf oh fV~1u nd 10
than half the cost which Gable found
necessary.
De Baca has doubled the revenues
of the office
De Baca has secured better office
system, and a system of licenses
which forms an absolute check on the
deputies.
De Baca in five years has spent less
than any other game state does in one
year, with a larger area and more diff
ficult conditions than in any other
state.
The figures on de Baca's admins
tration, indicating that with the
means at his command he has prob
ably madeEe better showing than any
other game warden in the United
States, show up in a glazing and pitt
less light the record of his Republi
can predecessor, whom Mr.. Bursum il
reported to have promised to pu
back on the job if he is elected.
The fish item alone is astonishing
Trout fry are supposed to be fur
nished see by the government. Ye
Gable paid over $4,000 for the pur
chase of fish, outside the cost of dis
tribution by the warden and his dep
uties, while de Baca paid exactly
nothing for twice as many fish at nc
cost to the state outside the cost Of
distribution by the warden and his
deputies.
The question Immediately arises
Why did a Republican warden have
to pay $4,000 to get 100000 fish
while a Democratic warden got 1000,
900 fish for nothing?
The matter of nonresident licenses
is further cause for inquiry. Why did
Gable sell only one nonresident Ii
cense, while de Baca sold a thousand
The natural inference is that under
de Baca nonresident hunters were
made to pay the fee which they were
not forced to pay under Gable.

H. o. Bursum, Republican candi-
date for governor. has been going
about the state for weeks announcing
TO the people that the so-called Bur
sum tax law, passed by the 1915 Leg
islature, was the best possible "un-
der the circumstances"
For once Mr.. Bursum has been
right. Here are two of the principal
"circumstances"-i other words, the
men who framed the law:

MORE COMPENSATION:
Declare Injured Workingmen
Are Underpaid by New Act.
Have Good Reason.

NEWARK, Dec. 30.-The state
federation of labor is urging extensive
changes in the New Jersey compensa-
ton law, and the Union Labor Bulletin
says:
with wages as low as in New Jersey
anything less than 66 2-3 per cent of
wages is inadequate. Employers will
probably fight our efforts to obtain an
adequate scale of compensation. They
fought it in California, Massachusetts,
New York, Ohio and Wisconsin; but the
workers won.
Some employers will become solicitous
for our welfare and oppose such legis-
lation on the ground that it destroys
our independence 'discourages thrift,
and gives us AN incentive to feign sick
ness.' Let US ask them if life on two
thirds of $40 a week would be suffi-
GENTLY attractive to induce them to
feign sickness? Let us point out that
in Massachusetts, no increase in mailing
ering accompanied the increase from 80
per cent to &c 2-3 per cent.
"Justice permits us to demand, also
the removal of arbitrary time limita-
tons. Suppose employers limited each
engine to 800 tons of coal. Absurd:
Well, they give us compensation for just
300 weeks. What happens to us then:
Perhaps they expect us to save enough
from the SIS weekly compensation to re.
tire in comfort at the end of 800 weeks
Since but 90 per cent of all accidents
result fatally and but OIL per cent result
in total permanent disability, is it moi
somewhat petty to plead economy a
the cause for limiting benefits to 30t
weeks? We maitain that it is our right
if injured, to have adequate compensa.
ton during disability and that com.
pensation should be given to dependent
widows until death or remarriage and tt
children until they become of lega
working age"

LONDON, Dec: 30. (by mail)-Im-
agine John D. Rockefeller introducing
Bill Haywood to an audience re-
cruited about equally from the realms
Of the limousine and the push cart.
That's about like the spectacle at
which London was amazed the other
afternoon when the Duke of Rutland
led Ben. Tillet to the stage of His
Majesty's Theater before a thorough
ly mixed crowd of upper" and Glow
err class Britishers and launched
Ben's lecture on the war.
Rutland, tall, monocled, frockcoat-
ed, spatted, with Cambridge accent
and Mayfair manner; Tillet, short,
stumpy, sack-coated, baggy-trousered
with an East End jaw and a Cockney
accent. -
The Duke. Tory of Tories, his fam
lily tree rooted In the Middle Ages, q
top-notcher Of the British landed
gentry, and what certain Americans
doubtless would term "malefactor OF
great wealth."
The Decker, man Of the people, day
laborer. England's most belligerent
strike leader and, in his own words
an international social revolution
tst'-before the war.
Duke and Decker were on the same
mission-to impress the British pub.
lic with its responsibility toward the
men at the front.
The artistic Rutland praised the
patriotism of the hundreds of thou.
sands OF Ben Tillett's type who an.
swered the Kings call, and Tillet,
handed it right back to the aristoc.

In pit and gallery, Tillett told how he
had seen 'toffs' and truckmen or

playing, eating, sleeping, dying, side
by side. whether they came from
Elton or Oxford. or from Bethna1
Green" he said, 'whe~l they faced the
