Fine Tribute To 81 Pas0 By 4 New Mexico Lawyer
Former Delegate To Congress Is Very Complimentary


I HAVE been in FL Paso for Few
4 days. It was my first view Of the
place since 1907. The progress Of
that city is remarkable. Il must be
nearly two ard half times the size
o. Albuquerque. Yet for many years
the two towns ran neck and neck
for supremacy. They say the place
is dun now. but that fact IS not ap-
parent to the casual stranger. Being
so anxious about the progress OF Al
buQuerque and Of our state. 7 tried
70 ascertain how it was that FL Paso
went ahead so much faster than US.
I could not quite satisfy myself. but
concluded that IL was attributable TO
q number Of causes
The first vas the gcod laws of
IrNcs, and the fact that the people
rule. as they have modern petition
nomination and primary laws, and
are not run by lot of bipartisan
political buccaneers as New Mex
leo is.
The second cause OF their adj
vancement is that they enjoy reason
able railroad rates. and have enjoyed
rurh rates for a generation They
have more than half dozen trunk
lines OF railroad running into FL Paso
as against our one railroad.
The third cause Of their progress
IS their position as the gateway 20
Old Mexico from the north.
The fourth is the immense area Of
country they are headquarters for.
which embraces all Of southern New
Mexico and Arizona and western
Texas, and the fifth and most potent
