DRY FORCES START
CAMPAIGN TO PUT !.
ON LID IN COUNTIES
CURRY TO HOLD ELECTION; ONE
ASKED IN TORRANCE; RoosE-
WELT, GUADALUPE, DE BAcA
AND LEA TO BE BATTLE
GROUNDS

Prohibition forces now are making
plans to put several of the counties of
the state in the dry" column under
the provisions of the district prohibit
tion law passed by the last legisla-
ture. In Curry county, where Texico
lis the only wet spot, an election has
been called for Monday, May 21, and
in this election the people of all the
precincts of the county, with the ex-
ception of residents of Clovis, will
participate. The tdrying up of Tex
leo is a foregone conclusion.
In Torrance county the county COM
missioners have been asked to call an
election, but have hesitated because
the "wets" are contending that the
law prohibiting a second local option
election within a period Of four years
is still in effect, and that as such an
election was held in Estancia last
year, another cannot be called. In an
opinion given the county commission
ers, Attorney General Patton holds
that the proposed election can be
held, but the commissioners are now
waiting for an opinion from the dis
trict attorney. The matter will come
up for action at next months meet
ing.
Under the district prohibition law
all precincts in a county, with the ex-
ception of incorporated places of 1000
or more inhabitants, can be included
in a, local option district, and all a
vote on the question Of prohibiting
the sale of liquor in any section of
the county. The prohibition forces
hope to make Curry, Roosevelt, Quad
Torrance, De Baca and Lea
counties dry, and to prohibit the sale
Of liquor in all sections of Chaves
with the exception of Ros-
well; of Union county, with the excep-
ton of Clayton, and of Eddy county,
with the exception of Carlsbad.

NEW LAW CONTROLS
STATE LAND SALES

In an opinion written today for
Scott Etter, OF Carlsbad, Attorney
General Harry L. Patton holds that all
future sales OF state lands must be in
accordance with the provisions of the
law passed by the last legislature.
Under. this law state lands can be pur-
chased on a 30-year deferred payment
plan, by the payment of 5 per cent of
the purchase price, but provision is
made for the assessment and tayation
Of the lands at their full value during
the 30-year period. 1t was suggested
that some purchasers might prefer the
old plan. The attorney general holds
that the law is made mandatory, and
governs all land sales. A purchaser
who buys on deferred payments has
the right to complete the purchase at
the end of any year, counting from
the date of his contract. Interest on
deferred payments is paid annually.
