NEW MEXICO LEASE

Roswell, N. M. Dec. 26.-The case OF
Dallas Brothers versus Bruce Con
nor, in the district court, has been
appealed by the attorney for Conner,
Capt. Charles A. Reynolds, to the
supreme court. II will be fecallsd
that the court held in this case that
the lease to certain state lands, made
BY COMMISSIONER Ervien TO Bruce Con.
nor was invalid because he charged
only Ave cents an acre for the use Of
the land a year for the benefit Of the
state, whereas, since the land was ap-
praised at five dollars an acre. and
the rent therefor could not Bio less
than two per cent OF the appraised
valuation; the charge should have been
tell cents an acre. This viii be a test
case. The decision OF the supreme
court win be final and will affect every
lease for stats land in New Mexico.
II the Bruce Conner lease Is invalid
on ne grounds stated then every
other lease is also null and void.
Willie the state is not a party OF rec.
ord to the suit, nevertheless 1t has
vital interests at stake, and no doubt,
viii concern itself in the pressnta-
ton Of the contention Of the same to

" general, Patton, will be in office
when the case will come up for hear
ing and It ID not known what his view
Of the question involved is, or whether
lie viii appear for New Mexico in
the matter since the state Is not a
party. However. the outcome will be
awaited with considerable anxiety
BY Commissioner Hrvien and his stan,
no doubt, and the public will have
no little curiosity in theN disposition
OF the issue raised by the appeal. An
EFFORT will be made to have the case
advanced on the calendar so as to
insure an opinion being handed

master William @. Keene. moved bag
and baggage, including his office
building, last week and is now located
north Of the depot. The office Is all
ready in running order with steno-
grapher, Miss Bray, in charge.
Owing to the improvements under
way and contemplated on this part Of
the big system. Carlsbad is a more
convenient location for the road
master. Heavier steel Is being laid on
the line from Clovis south, For many
months the steel gang has been busy
on the north end. But because help
has been difficult to obtain. the work
has not progressed as rapidly as plan
red It was the intention to have
completed the laying Of heavy steel
from Clovis to Roswell this year.
The round house being built here
will be ready In another 80 days. The
Building is completed, the cinder pits
are being built and the tracks remain

auitRble Legislation ready for intro
ducti0n III the legislature of your
state hs soon as this bill becomes law.
Should tile bill be much delayed in
the lower house or In the conference
committee to which it Will be referred,
1t might be well for legislative mea-
epFeg to be introduced in the several
states and referred to the proper com
mittees 50 there may ne9no fnneces-
sary delay when the federal bill does
become law.
You Will observe that Section S pro-
vides that the legislature OF any state
may create q vocational education
board Oh It may designate for the pur-
poses Of this act the state board Of
education or other board having
charge 0f the administration Of pub
Tic education In the state, or any
state board having charge OF any
kind of Vocational education In the
state; Unless the state already has a
separate vocational education board
which is working satisfactorily, I am
definitely Of the opinion that In the
interest Of economy and efficiency
and to the end that the unity Of the
states system OF public education
may be preserved, the state board of
education should be designated as
the vocational education board. The
public school system Of any state win,
! believe, function better as a single,
unified, democratic, flexible and
adaptable system, than it can II d.
vided into two or more parts with dit
ferent and, possibly. unsympathetic or
even ~antagonistic administrative
iAads, States in which there IS no Ell
fective board Of education might well
take advantage Of this opportunity to
create such a board with definite
powers and functions among which
should be those necessary for the pur-
poses Of this act.

Dear Sir:
1t now seems quite certain that the

preparations made Yin the bill for voca-
tional education, any state shall,

thereof, accept the provision Of the

iii regard to President Wilson's note

that the reply does not give specific
terms but refers generally to the OBJ
1ects of the allies. Those participant
ing IN the discussion speak Of the diff
ficuIty OF expressing the general pur-
poses in concrete form so that the
reply may be definitely responsive
and at the same time convey to neu-
trail countries an adequate idea Of the
aims and purposes for which the en-
tente allies are contending. The rea-
son for not stating the specific terms
is said to be chat the terms Of the all
lies largely depend upon the extent Of
the military victory which they conf
IDENTIFY expect and that any statement
of terms now would Be upon the exist
ing military and territorial situation
which the German imperial chancellor
claimed was based on a German vic
tory. Therefore it is held that Ger

CAME definite when military successes
