TO TAKE DEPOSITION
OF ". |. EDGAR IN
MARRON-WO0D CASE
WILL FIGURE IN DISARMAMENT
HEARING THURSDAY BY su-
PREME COURT IN ALBuouER-
QUE

Harry S. Bowman, assistant attor-
ney general, and Judge r. r. Wright,
who Is representing Marion & Wood,
of Albuquerque, in the disbarmept
proceedings brought against them by
the state board of bar examiners, have
gone to FL Paso to take the deposition
OF William l.. Edgar, a former Albu-
querque resident. Edgar was the de
PENDANT in a suit for divorce, brought
by Anna M. Edgar, and according to
the disbarment charges, he paid Owen
N. Marion, attorney for his wife, a fee
Of $500 under an agreement between
counsel. Later, IL is alleged, Marion
attempted to collect $500 additional
from Mrs. Edgar. In the answer to
the formal accusation of Attorney Cen
eral Clancy, it was stated by Attorney
Marion that Mrs. Edgar had agreed
that he should have a fee of $1,000 in
the event he was able to protect her
recovery rights, amounting to over
S25, 1000. Her rights, it was asserted,
were fully protected in the settlement
of the case.
Judge Colin Neblett, of Silver City,
who will sit for Chief Justice Roberts

Examination Papers
Held First Class Matter

Three huge parcels of teachers ex-
animation papers, weighing rs pounds,
which arrived here by parcel post
from a nearby town and a nearby
county, were the cause of some worry
to the officials of the department Of
education. The postmaster here was
unable to pass the packages as parcel
post matter and rated them as first
class, asking for 1913 postage due. In
vain did the officials of the depart
ment protest that these packages con-
tanned matter which could be classed
as authors manuscripts. Although
the postal officials were unable to
prove that the answers in the exam
papers we're not original and unlike
anything that ever had been written,
they stuck to their contention that
the papers were written matter and
had to travel as first class. Just why
the packages were not shipped by ex-
press remains to be SEEM. The de-
partment of education will likely
make the shippers pay the Excess
postage, which is probably the largest
amount the department has ever had
expend on mail received here.

JAMES TO CONSULT
SCHOOL AUTHORITIES
ON TAX ESTIMATES
DIRECTOR OF TAXPAYERS AsSo-
CATION LEAVES ON TRIP TO
SAN MIGUEL, MORA, cOLFAN
AND UNION COUNTIES

A. q. James, director Of the New
Mexico Taxpayers association, has
left for a visit to San Miguel,
Mora, Colfax and Union counties to
consult with district school directors,
p~erintendents upon the school esti-
mates which the county s%uperintend-
ents must soon recommend to the
boards Of county commissioners under
the new county unit school tax law.
Under the law, enacted by the last
legislature, each school district certi-
fies its necessities to the county
superintendent, who in turn certifies
the total requirements for school pur-
poses to the board of county commits
sioners, who levy the school tax upon
the entire county, to realize the
money required. It is new work, not
only for the district school directors
and town boards of education, but for
the county superintendents as well,
and all have welcomed the assistance
which the director of the Taxpayers
association is prepared to extend. In
the five counties where he has been
called into consultation on the school
estimates thus far, Bernalillo, Va
lencia, Torrance, Guadalupe and Quay,
Mr.. James has been able to suggest
ways and means whereby heavy re-
auctions have been made in the esti-
mates finally certified to the county
commissioners in every county, and
totalling a saving to the taxpayers Of
more than $4,000. The school authori-
ties in all cases thus far have shown
complete willingness to effect these
reductions when shown the way. Be-
fore the end of August, Mr.. James
will visit every county in the state
on the school estimates. Should the
ratio of savings hold throughout the
list, from $4,000 to $4,000 for a
county, the work of the Taxpayers
association managing officer will mean
a very important saving in the tax
rate of every county in the state. The
results of the school estimates sur
vey will be made public at the conclus-
ion of the work through the New Mex
leo Tax Review.

AFFIRMATION IN
COLFAX COUNTY CASE

The state supreme court has handed
down an opinion affirming the decis-
ion of the lower court in Case No.
1927, John Stafford and George ].
Stafford, plaintiffs in error, VS..
Josephine "a. Clouthier, defendant in
error. From Colfax county. L. s.
Wilson, attorney for plaintiffs in err
ror; w. r. Holly, attorney for de-
PENDANT in error.
This was an action in replevin in
stituted in the district court of Col
fax county by Josephine H. Clouthier
against the plaintiffs in error in this
court, seeking to recover certain per-
sonal property or the market value
thereof, alleged to be the property of
the plaintiff and at the time of the in
situation of the suit in the possession
of the defendants.
In his opinion, Mr.. Justice Hanna,
states that the plaintiffs in error have
assigned numerous grounds Of error
all, however, having to do with the
action of the district court in denying
to vacate the judgment.
"The facts of this case are not quite
analogous to the numerous cases to be
found in the books dealing with the
setting aside of default judgments or
refusal to vacate such judgments"
says the justice, because in this case
the defense had filed an answer and
had been advised of the setting of the
case for trial, and had through mad
vertence or neglect defaulted in APP
,pearance at such trial"
Then follows the syllabus:
"A motion to vacate or set aside. a
judgment is addressed to the sound
legal discretion of the trial court on
the particular facts of the case and
the determination of the trial court
will not be disturbed on appeal unless
it is plain that there has been an
abuse of such discretion"
Chief Justice Roberts and Mr.. JUS
.tice Frank w. Parker concur in the
opinion.

Of Quay county was reversed by the

SOCIALISTS OPPOSE FLAT
SECOND.CLASS INCREA

Clayton. N. NJ, July 19.-The Clay
ton local Of the Socialist party has
nassed resolutions endorsing the
penny postage plan, but objecting
strongly to a fiat increase in the sec
ond class rate. The following memo
rial to the president was drawn up:
70 the President,
Washington, d. G.
Dear Sir:
Clayton local, of the Socialist party
# New Mexico, at its meeting Of July
Is, 1916, adopted the following as a
resolution:
We understand that an effort is
icing made before the congress to Sc
cure o%ne-cent letter postage, and that
in connection with such effort a fiat
rate in second class postal rates is
being urged. We commend the one
'ent letter postage idea, but most
earnestly oppose a fiat increase in the
second class postage rate, because:
1. The government ownership and
nperation of our postal system. and
especially the low rate on second
class matter, make possible the wide
dissemination of educational litera-
tnre, We u~ngrudgingly pay large
sums for maintenance of schools to
educate our children. Can we not
with equally good reason spend monev
FOR the education Of our grown-up
citizenship? We do not regard u
schools as failures because they do
rot pay their own way. Have we anv
better reason for regarding u pos
al system as a failure in the event
# its failure to pay its own way in
every department?
2. We believe that an increase in
the rate on that part OF magazines
md newspaper which contains adver-
Using matter would be better than p
fat increase, and that it would be
practically as easy to keep account Of
nd collect as is the present fat rate
Such an increase would be so distri
huted among the advertisers, the pub
fisher and the consumer of the adj
vertised goods as to be but little felt
by any. AS to making possible one
cent letter postage without financial
loss, it would have the same merit as
the fiat increase.
3. Socialist publications, as a rule,
depend much mure largely for finan-
cial support on subscriptions, and
much less on advertising than do
other publications. Furthermore, the
subscription rates Of such papers are
usually very low. Any considerable
fat increase in second class postage
rates would speedily put these publ
cations out of business. We do not
know that the agitation for one-cent
letter postage is coupled with the de-
mand for a fiat increase on second
class matter with the object in view
of putting socialist publications out of
business; but, if such were the pur-
pose, it would be difficult to conceive
Of a better method of carrying it out.
We believe this question is of very
great Importance to every self-gov-
erning people, and we therefore ask
your serious consideration of it. We
recommend that you expressly recog-
nize the value for educational pur-
poses of a low postal rate on all
printed matter not intended for adver-
Using, and we ask that you recon-
mend such express recognition to the
congress.
