INTERESTED IN
WORKINGS or LAND
LAW IN This STATE

Arizona has observed what it con-
siders the success Of New Mexico's
public land leasing system, and has
asked State Land Commissioner
Nels Field to telegraph the reasons
for It's success, laying stress on the
causes for believing that allowing
~lessees to hold more than one sec
ton is a good policy. G.. b. Barker
replied for the land office to this
effect: Restriction Of acreage leas-
ed, to grazers was found during ter
ritorial days to tend to hurt the
livestock industry; II tended to split
up the herds and make the lessees
feel that they we're handicapped. It
also led to fraudulent applications by
dummies" Since statehood, when
the policy was changed, the herds
have increased from 20 to so per
cent, ands the range has been made
capable OF supporting more cattle.
Tho revenue from New Mexico's
leased lands is more than q million
dcliars a year, which is more than
four times that from Arizona's lands,
'. Itch are about the same acreage
and value. Captain Fred Mueller o.
he land office stated today that tho
II lerest on lands sold by tho state
= nearly one half million dollars
ar year, and that the total revenue
public lands last year was al
} Cst as great as that from taxa
ion. Arizona has q hill pending be-
ore the Legislature to allow the leaa.
ne OF more than IN section Of land

NO TREATY EVER DECLARED TO
BE IN CONFLICT WITH u. S.
CONSTITUTION, BOWMAN SAYS
Interesting Statement in Reply to Inquiry as to
Migratory Bird Law; Assistant Attorney Cen
eral Doesn't Attempt to Pass on Statute

In reply to an inquiry Of w. C. Bur.
net of Santa Rosa as to the status Of
the migratory bird law, Assistant At
torney General Harry S. Bowman
bring to light the fact that no inter-
national treaty of the United States
has ever been declared unconstitu-
tional. Mr.. Bowman makes this as.
sertion in discussing the migratory
bird treaty act" which was passed on
July g, 1919, and which attempts to
regulate the killing and taking of
birds within the several states. The
statute was enacted to supplement the
treaty entered into between the Unit
ed States and Great Britain for the
purpose Of protecting migratory birds,
and the president, by proclamation
dated July 81, 1918, defined the birds
that would come within the provisions
OF. the act and made regulations con.
corning the open seasons and the
hunting and taking of such birds.
This act has not been before any OF
the courts, and Mr.. Bowman says it
would be improper for him to pass
upon the question Of its validity, par
ticularly since it is a federal statute,
and state officials would have nothing
to do with the question Of determine
ing its constitutionality.
Mr.. Bowman's opinion continues:
THE reference in your letter to the
treaty raises a rather complicated
question. 1t is true that treaties
which might be in conflict with any
provision of the constitution of the
United States would be void, but no
treaty has ever been declared to be
in conflict with the constitution, up to
the present time, at least. There is
no question but that state eonstitu-
lions and legislation must yield to
treaties, as it is provided in the con-
stitution Of the United States that
treaties ratified by the senate should
be the supreme law of the land, any
thing in state constitutions or legisla.
ton to the contrary Notwithstanding.
The legislation enacted by congress in
pursuance Of the terms of the treaty
El Nuevo mexicano., 1919-01-30

portant recommendation, in the in
terest of the cattlemen of New Mex
leo, is to the effect that congress
be memorialized to pass a law au-
thorizing the railroads and the gov
eminent to exchange lands, at the
selection of the government SO that
the present checkerboard formation
would be in townships rather than in
sections. This would permit the
cattlemen to procure larger grazing
tracts, the present range on railway
lands being cut into sections at each
alternate mile by a section OF gov
eminent land. Over a million and a
quarter acres of land are affected.
Many mortage and load companies
loaning money on land and livestock
are said by the report to be escaping
taxation because there appears to be
no law expressly providing for such
assessment, and such a law is re-
commended to the legislature as ne
cessary.
The commission asks for sufficient
appropriation to keep an adequate
field force at work the year around,
for the purpose of assisting the
county assessors in getting all pro-
perty Oh the rolls and at its correct
value.
The tax commission is composed
of the following members: "A. w.
Pollard, president; j. e. Saint, vice
president; George L. Ulrick, J. r.

EFFECTIVE SYSTEM OF REPORT.
ING PUT IN EFFECT BY STATE
TAX COMMISSION.

Largely through the use or o sys-
tenn of reporting that goes into great
detail and that Is being used this
year for the first time, the state
tax commission expects to see the
valuation of output Of mines in New
Mexico increased in 1919 by at least
a million dollars. Reports from the
smaller mines already are coming
into the commissions office. Those
from larger mines are expected dali
ly. The commission will hold its
annual session to fix mine output
valuations in February. The taxa
BILE output of mines Is estimated by
s%ubtracting from the gross value the
cost Of production. The commission
now requires q most accurate and

quired to renbrt on "A items. Under

OLD PAY is SOUGHT
EYES OF RAIL CHIEFS ON THEIR
PREWAR SALARIES.
Many Officials Wonder Whether Re-
turn of Lines Means Former
High Compensation.

Washington, Dec. 13.-American
railway officials view the approach of
1920 and the return of the railroads to
private ownership with an acute cur
iosity as to whether their resumption
of full authority is to be attended by
the restoration of the salaries they
formerly drew. These salaries ran in
1917 beyond 100000 in at least two
instances, according to figures COM
piled by F. L. Paine for the Financial
World. The government welded the
pruning knife. thoroughly when it took
over the lines, Walker u. Hines, re-
ceives $4,000 annually from the gov
eminent, whereas his salary as chair
man of the board of directors of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe was
S77,210.
The highest paid railroad executive
in 1917 was Jacob M. Dickinson, form
err secretary of war, who was receiev-
err for the Chicago, Rock Island & Pa
cific. His pay was $12O, 1920. This
was special compensation. The basis
for it has not been announced. The
highest regularly salaried railroad Off
cial was Robert S. Lovett, chairman of
the executive committee of the Union
Pacific. His pay was S104,104.16.
Several other executives drew sal
aries exceeding the $4,000 paid the
president of the United States. 1t is
expected that these salaries will be
the subject of considerable discussion
in congress when the debate on rail-
road legislation gets under way.

PROFIT IN MINTlNG BUSINESS
Small Coin Demand Nets Uncle Sam
Good Margn-Silver
Dollars Melted.

Washington, Dec. 16.-The minting
business is a profitable one to be in,
according to the annual report of Ray
Baker, director of the United States
mint made public by the treasury de-
partment. During the 1919 fiscal year,
the report shows. the government
made $S,369,971 on its minting opera
lions. OF this amount $4,136.700 was
made through the manufacture of
nickel and bronze coins.
Never before in the history of the
country has the demand for small
coins been as large as it was during
the last fiscal year. Pennies minted
alone total 466,SS9, 600, or about $780,
900 pounds.
The melting of silver dollars into
bullion also was one of the largest op-
erat ons of the year. More than 49,
100000 silver dollars were converted
into bullion during the year. United
States minis also made coins for many
other countries.

alien draft slackers and strengthening
of the border patrol service against I'M
desirables, are among the recommends

Suggestions that immigration be sus-

the commissioner on the ground that it
would have an injurious effect upon
our efforts 10 further American COM
merce and enterprise in foreign coun-
tries" Continuance of wartime pass
port wise regulations and assignment
of immigration bureau representatives
at consular offices to aid in excluding
undesirables were urged instead.
Only two aliens were excluded from
the United States during the fiscal year
on anarchistic grounds, while 81
aliens in the same class were expelled
from the country and 90 are now
awaiting deportation. To reach Amer

made criminal offenSes.
