OF Ne v N EXICO
MCDONALD OF socoRRo PRO.
POSES TO HAVE SYSTEM ES-
TABLISHED BY FUNDAMENTAL
LAW

A resolution proposing an amend.
ment to the state constitution to pro.
vide for a state budget system was in.
PRODUCED in the senate Tuesday by
Senator Mcdonald, OF Socorro. The
object of the resolution is to make a
biennial budget a constitutional pro-
vision, which, once established, can
be amended or abolished only by a
vote of the people. A bill providing
for a state budget was introduced
some time ago, but such a bill, if en-
acted into law, could be repealed by
any future Legislature.
A committee substitute for the
Clark resolution providing for but one
corporation commission, to be named
by the governor, was reported to the
senate this morning by the senate COM
mittee on constitutional amendments,
with the recommendation that it be
passed.
A substitute for the Kaseman "blue.
sky" bill was reported by the senate
committee on judiciary this morning.
The original bill was patterned after
the Michigan "blue sky" law, and the
substitute is practically the law now
in force in Ohio, which is more liberal
than the Michigan statute.
The Calisch bill providing for the
reading Of the Declaration of indie.
pendence, and the displaying of the
American flag, ono each month in the
public schools of the state, was re-
ported favorably by the senate com
mittee on education.
The senate this morning passed H.
B. 179, making some changes in the
time of holding court terms in the
Fourth judicial district.
S. B. 1853, authorizing the state audi
tor to transfer funds from the insur-
ance and interest on deposit funds to
the salary fund, was returned to the

bearing the signatures of the house
officers. 1t now goes to the governor.

1t is a matter Of current report that H. o. Bursum, twice stingingly re-

Eminent Eaton who nominated Mr.,

is the eminent assistant district at

he drew up the indictments against
the New Mexican in that county
which counsel for this paper alleged
were drawn up with the intent of de-
liberately seeking to prejudice friends
Of Bursum who might appear on the
jury.
A demurrer entered in the case

ments quoted at great length from

against H. o. Bursum, whose name
sprinkled the indictments.
This charge was vehemently resented

From Mondays Daily

Ezequiel G. de Baca, Governor of New Mexico, is dead.
He passed away suddenly a few minutes before 4 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, in the room at st. Vincent's sanitarium
here which he had occupied continuously since his return. to
New Mexico from California on December 30. He was con-
scious up to a few moments before his death, and the end was
without suffering.
AT his bedside at the time were his wife, Archbishop j. B.
Pitaval; his private secretary, Miss Clara Olsen; his legal adj
wiser, Elmer Il. Veeder; his nurse and two Sisters of Charity.
Before the end came Governor De Baca conversed for
several minutes with his wife, and expressed to her his final
wishes. Archbishop Pitaval, prelate of the church Of which
the executive was a devout member, reached the room too late
to speak to the governor However, he had been called more
as an intimate friend than as, a minister of the church, the
sacrament of extreme JUNCTION having been administered to
the governor a week ago.
A change for the worse in Governor De Baca's condition
was noted early yesterday afternoon, but it was believed prob
able that it marked simply a reaction following treatment.
The executive, however, seemed to feel that his condition was
more serious than at any previous time, and about 2:30 he
asked that Miss Olsen be sent for so that he might talk with
her concerning a number of business matters. Miss Olsen ar
rived at the sanitarium about 3 O'Clock, and on entering the
room Immediately noticed that the governors respiration was
labored. A window was thrown open to admit more air, and
the executive appeared to experience great relief. Messages
were at once sent to Mrs. De Baca, to DR.. James "A. Massie, his
physicians, and to Archbishop Pitava, and in the meantime the
governor discussed with Miss Olsen the business affairs in
connection with which he had called her.
