De Baca County.
DE Baca county has not yet reach
ed a vote in the senate. While the
boosters in the house were still re-
joicing in its passage there, protests
were received from people from out
side the lines Of the proposed new
commonwealth who would like to be
included in it. To what extent their
wishes may affect the bill, by amend
ment or otherwise cannot now be
safely conjectured, but it is presu-
med that the bill as it passed the
house will pass the senate. a feat
IRE of the bill which has not hither-
to come to light is the allegation
that on the part of the western
boundary the new county does not
come up to its neighbors, leaving
no-mans-land that may need fixing.
IF the bill has to be amended on this
account and then subjected to the
perls of a second vote in the house.
it may meet with a different re-
ception.
Unusual Senate Action.
The unusual action of the senate
in rcvoking two senate bills after
they had passed both the senate and
house, was the subject of much
comment this week. In one case the
bill was the salary transfer bill
which transferred funds from any
available source except school funds
and interest on the public debt for
the purpose of paying back state
salaries. 1t was given to the sem
ate judiciary committee, and an ef-
fort is now being made with the
assistance of the state auditors Of
flee, to locate some fund that can
supply the needed sum without em-
barrasing the department from
which it is taken. The amount in
question is in excess of 100000.
The other senate bill to be re.
committed is the bill which would

in the state. The course of the bill
is interesting. L,ewellyn and Con
zales, members from Dona Ana coun-
ty in the house, introduced the first
draft of it. 1t was lost in the house
by a fairly decisive vote. Shortly
after, an identical bill from the SEN
ate was reported passed, and the
house voted on it accordingly. The
vote this time, within half an hour
of the former one, was % to %. Mr..
Lleweilyn as Speaker, had the pri-
vilege of voting the measure in.
Then it went into the senate when
II went into further vcissitudes in
being re-referred to the Judiciary
committee. Now it is variously claim
ed that the committee will wish to
alter it by extending the period of
to 10 years, and also
that the time will be decreased to
2 wears. Another opinion is that
the bill will emerge, only for defeat.
An opinion of the attorney general
will, be asked on its constitutionality
in the interim.
