90 Per Cent of War Work
Pledges Made Good in State
Nearly All Collected And Final Report is Expected
to Show 100 Percent Subscriptions Paid;
Report by Counties.

Albuquerque, N. M, March 10.-W.
r. Mcdowell, state director of collec-
lions, announced this morning that
New Mexico had collected 80 per cent
of the United Wark Work Campaign
pledges which were made November
III to 10. According to reports received
at state headquarters from the ma
tional office, no other state in the
union has made this good a record in
collecting their pledges. The state Of
flee confidently expects the counties
with a low per cent to collect prac-
tically all of their pledges by March
10. County collectors are in no way
letting up or collecting the pledges
and each n seems confident that his
county will collect 100 per cent before
they make their final report.
Mr.. Mcdowell, who served as asso-
ciate state director during the cam
paign and as state collector since then,
announced that from now on he would
devote his time to private business,
but would give whatever time required
to the war work activities until all
pledges throughout the state were
paid, Miss Dorothee Tunica, who has
been actively engaged in the campaign
since the beginning, will continue in
charge of the state office.
Judge M. e. Hickey, who was ap.
pointed by the national committee as
state treasurer will continue receiving
funds and making remittances to the
national treasury until all pledges are
paid. Mr.. Mcdowell and Judge Hickey
express their gratitude for the SPLEEN
did way in which the citizens of New
Mexico have cooperated with them
during the collecting campaign. They
both stated that it would be impos-
sible for people to cooperate more
thoroughly than have the people of
New Mexico.
Report BY Counties.
Following is a copy of the report
of counties and their per cent of
pledges paid:
Below | give you a list OF the coun-
ties, showing the percent Of their
pledges they have paid. In some in
stances, the county has collected more
than 100 per cent. This is occasioned
by the fact that during the campaign
the flu was very bad and the cam
paign was late. The date was set up
and we made our final report to the
national committee before all counties
had made theid final report. In some
instances, counties secured pledges
four weeks after the closing of the
campaign. The citizens of such coun-
ties are entitled to a great deal of
praise for the work they did. Not
only did they do great work in OBJ
pledges, but they have lived up
TO their reports by collecting all of
their pledges.

have a low per cent and they advise

DELIVERED
ON SCHOOL ELECTIONS

Assistant Attorney General N. d.
Meyer has sent State School Superin-
tendent j. H. Wagner an opinion as
to who are the proper authorities to
call a school election, in districts of
the same class to which the city of
Deming belongs. This subject Is Of
interest in view of the fact that school
elections are to be held the first Mon
day In April. The opinion follows:
I'm the Ease Of Board Of Education
VS.. Citizens National Bank, reported
in 1877 Pac. 715, the court, constituting
the statutes relative to voting bonds
by municipal school districts, held
that such an election should be called,
held and conducted in the same man
ner as school officials are elected,
insofar as such procedure is applic-
able, and said that the election should
be called by the city council, notice
thereof given by the mayor, and the
returns made to and canvassed by the
city clerk and mayor, all as provided
for the case Of election of the mu-
nicipal school district officers.
In the case Of Barry, ct al. VS..
Board Of Education Of the City of
Clovis, some Of the citizens prayed
for an injunction against the Board
OF Education enjoining them from sell
ing certain school bonds, alleging that
said bonds were Illegal because the
election at which said bonds were
voted for was not called, held, ETC.,
by the proper authorities. In this
case said election was called, held,
etc, by the Board Of Education Of the
ity of Clovis. 1t was held by the SUI
preme court In this case that the cleo
ton had not been called by the proper
authorities, the defendants practically
admitting that the same should have
been called by the city authorities.
Section 1859 of the codification Of
1915 prescribes that the election for
members Of the board of education
shall be held, canvassed and certifi-
Gates Of election issued in accordance
with the laws applicable to election of
officers Of Incorporated cities, except
that no registration shall be required.
Section 1891 OF the c~odification
prescribes that the city council is to
direct and hold elections.
Therefore, 1t is the opinion of this
office that in the particular instance
by you, the election should be
held, etc, by the city authori-
ties, as fully set forth in the last sec
lion cited"
