by the way in that the Legislators
worked Saturday night at all, Mai u
Llewellyn's simple and harmless bill
providing that in all public works and
employments preference must re
given to discharged soldiers, sailo IS
and marines of New Mexico created
another rather pronounced ripple on
the sea of Legislative harmony.
The reason was that Blanchard OF
Lincoln saw another chance to make
his late Republican colleagues of the
administration bunch" uncomfortS-
BILE and promptly offered an amen.l-
ment under which the preference
would extend specifically to the
mounted police. Blanchard made o
v~itriolic speech In which he denounced
the administration leaders, asserting
THAT they are on the whole pleasant
gentlemen for whom one might have
kindly feeling were 1t not for Their
sentiment OF pity not unmixed with
contempt
This little tribute Of love and nf-
Election from the chief of the insur-
gents moved Carter to take a shot
or two in which he said that he had
voted the Republican ticket longer
than most Of the members of the
house had lived and that "nobosy
can dictate to me as a member OF
this Legislature or question my hon
or and integrity in any vote which
il cast here
Bert Clancy then took his turn
s.rf II "a -. nth tho cnAoatfovoI don
laration that Il have always been q
Republican and always expect to be
but l am not going to be bossed By
"a lot Of would be leaders who hare
in other times led the party to dis
aster and who will do it again il
they keep on doing what they are
trying to do now"
Rejoinder to this open defiance
merely led Judge Barnes and Gurus
to announce they were moi afraid.
of the threats Of the insurgents and
to lead their newly but solidly ANAL
agamated Republican cohorts in a
solid vote to table the amendment.
The bill then passed with only one
dissenting vote.
There was quite a little discussion
of the bill to give a bonus of Sl03
to the capitol employees because of
the extra work which they have done
during the session. 1t finally passed
81 to 16. At this hour Judge Barnes
remarked that it was evident taat
the house did not want to get down
to work, two hours had been con
sumed, probably the judge knew a
lot of the younger boys wanted to
go to a dance and so he moved a
recess until Monday morning at t n
O'Clock.
Curns had previously introduced
the last bill of the session which es-
tablishes a system of inheritance
taxes in the state, number S9S of the
house.
By Clancy-Creating a new system
for taxing mines in the state;
BY Curns-An eight hour day bill.
by Misunderstanding a road in
San Miguel county to be a state high
way.
The house really was to be pardon
ed for its mood Saturday night. As
Hull of Curry had put it, they had
worked pretty faithfully all week.
That was especially true Of SatGr-
day.
A budget Of their performances
would run about like this:

to meet a like sum from the federal
government for the determination of
prairie dogs and other rodentaIy
field pests by a vote of 40 to Q;
Given the Prichard subscription

salaries in office Of the sta,e
travelling auditor 80 to IL;
And then had handed a blow +
Santa Fe in passing Dan Padilla s
bill restricting the issuance of certi-
of indebtedness by municipai-
tiles of the state. Santa Feans had
discovered that the bill would abs
lutely end all chance Of puttfag
the present desired method

hey worked diligently with the men,
to defeat the bill. During the
controversy over it, Dan Padilla.
