Santa Fc, Feb 10 Neither house OF
the legislature is In session having
adjourned In respect to the memory of
Charles A. Spies and appointed com.
mlttces to attend the funeral in Las
Vegas this afternoon. Mr.. Spies has
hcen conspicuous figure In New Mex
lee for thirty years and has been ac-
tive In building the state like few.
Bills are still pouring IN from house
members, the total numbers now being
222, Many Of these bills are of local
Interest like creating roads. Others
aim to amend old laws and still others
aim to regulate some line Of human
conduct that has by chance been over
looked In the past SO fur few addit-
les have appeared The old standbys
like prohibiting the rafting Of logs
on the surface Of the waters Of the
streams Of New Mexico, equal rights
without regard to color, and others
are back. Some Of these used to bring
substantial reward In years long past.
But lntely times are hard.
Another class OF bills Is much in
evidence this year creating all kinds
of boards for the lettering of human
ity from child welfare 10 health The
intention Is praiseworthy and II Is to
be regretted that New Mexico Is not
financially able to meet all such de-
mands.
There Is also number Of bills, in
creasing powers Of existing boards and
also The expense. The country as Il
whole has run riot In creating COM
missions. administrations, boards, and
committees during the war period.
The fever apparently was not over
with the signing Of the armlstlce, even
In New Mexico.
This does not mean. however, that
the Legislature will pass many Of them
this session The membership Of both
houses is above the average and moth
ing will become law without very
careful study. From now on the more
important matters will hold the atten-
tion closely that they may he shaped
