COURT RULES THAT
CATTLE MAY TRAVEL
over PRIVATE LAND
THE LAND LESSEES MAY

SECTIONS II THEY DO
: MINIMUM DAMAGES TO
RESERVES

People who lease public land for
grazing purposes have no right to
obstruct the passage of other herds
over the land, provided that unnec-
essary damage is not done by the
herds in transit. This is the gist of
an opinion given by the state supre-
me court this week in refusing to
grant a re-hearing of suit brought
by H. A. Jastro and A. B. McMillin
against Elias Francis and Narciso
Francis. The court holds that land
owners cannot fence by injunction

ing authority OF the circuit court of
appeals and of the supreme court
of the United States as to the right

necessary to cross lands held in pri-
vate ownership" The holding of the
federal courts is based upon the
act of February Is, 1885.
Justice Roberts adds the sugges-
tion that when practicable, in areas
where the lessee controls alternately
numbered sections and other parties

MAJOR LLEWELLYN TELLS
THAT PROHIBITION IS A
FACTOR IN NEW MEXICO

Major w. H. H. Llcwellyn, formerly
Indian agent at the Mescalcro In
dian reservation and more recently
speaker of the house Of represen
tatives, is in the city on legal busi-
ness. incidentally the major has had
little to say about politics.
Prohibition, says the major, is a
factor to be reckoned with in state
politics, as there are great many
voters here who favor prohibition
This astuteness is verified, by the
way, to some extent by the vote in
the dry campaign of last fall, when
the state voted three to one in favor
of cutting out the booze.
Mr.. Llewellyn is convinced that
candidates in the next race who are
known to have prohibition record
will be able to give their opponents
a big handicap and then win. This
seems like reasonable reasoning, and
might be passed on as a tip to par
ties that are thinking about making
up state tickets for next fail. In
other words the water wagon is the
bandwagon, and it is question of
dry facts as we'll as party harmony.
Welcome, major, into the fold!

the battle line. on earth and sea and
in the sky, runs the governors pro-
clamation, May we, each of us on
that day bear the flag of the Unit
ed States both in our hearts and
over them"
War savings day, is set apart par
ticularly for what the name implies.
"Thc people of this state are e~
pected to save and invest in War
Savings Stamps to a maturity value
of 100000" says the governor. This
state has always responded fully t.
the calls made upon it and feel
sure the present will be no excep-
ton.
In Santa Fe, at least, a flag
day parade will be held, in this in
stance originated by the Elks lodge,
who have invited all other organ
izations to participate. Speeches in
the plaza, and a general display of
the flag and National colors, and a
decorated automobile parade are
planned.

COMMISSIONERS TO
SEE IF FARES CAN
Be Lowered HERE
LETTER ADDRESSED BY
CHAIRMAN WILLIAMS TO
MCADO0 ASKS WHY WE
CAN NOT HAVE THREE
CENT FARE IN n. n.

The state corporation commission
through the chairman, Hugh H. Viii
liams has addressed to Director Gen.
eral McAdoo a request that railway
fares in New Mexico be decreased
SO as not to exceed 81 cents per
mile.
A recent order OF the railway ad-
ninistration while raising lower fares
to 3 cents, says "no existing fare
equal to or in excess of three cents
per mile shall be reduced. This
would mean that New Mexico would
gain nothing by the new order as
the Santa Fe charges four cents a
mile, and the D. & R. G. and New
Mexico Central, five cents.
Pullman and sleeping car rates
have been raised by.l government
order. One sixth of the amount of
passenger ticket must be paid for
he use of . Pullman besidEs the
regular Pullman tariff. One-twelfth
of the regular passenger fare is ad.
ded if you take a tourist berth. plus
the. regular tourist charge. Uncle
Sam does not want people to travel
now unless it is necessary, and Is
also striving to make the railways
pay for their own operation.

About the most sensational affair

Miss Edgar Elder, who accused him
of making slanderous remarks about
them.
The women after succeeding in
getting him into the auto drove out
a few miles from the town and in
formed him that they were going
to kill him, ordered him to get out
and fired several shots, leaving him
on the ground supposedly dead. He
resurrected, walked back and had the
two women arrested and lodged in
jail. At = preliminary hearing they
were placed under q bond Of $500

MAY CALL LEGISLATURE
so SOLDIERS CAN VOTE

Governor Lindsey is considering
the advisability of calling the state
legislature together in September
or October to pass a law enabling
New Mexico soldiers in France to
vote in the fall election. There are
5000 soldiers abroad and over 1000
in this country from the state.
If congress passes general law
covering soldiers votes abroad, no
session will need to be held. There
is also doubt as to the power of a
state legislature to make law of
this kind. as American soldiers have
never voted abroad before.
The Arizona legislature is now in
session.
