WILL PUBLIC DOMAIN
BE CEDED TO STATES?

Santa Fe, Feb THAT a bill to
grant to the western states the public
domain within their borders will be
passed by the next congress if rot by
this one, is the confident prediction
of Governor o. A. Larrazolo, who re-
turned Friday from Washington,
where, he presented the case Of the
public land states before joint hear
ings of the senate and house commit
tees on public lands.
In addresses before the committees
the governor, who is chairman Of the
executive committee Of the league
of public land states, pointed out that
the federal administration of the pub
lie domain had made it a national
liability instead of an asset, that state
administration of lands such as New
Mexico has was both economical and
beneficial, and that the states are
entitled to the public domain now re-
naming within their borders.
Eleven states were represented al
Washington, either by their govern,
ors or by specially appointed depu
ties.

NOTHING TO 1T HERE

New Mexico farmers are not
among those who threaten to strike
or produce less in order to have
more, judging by the report that Cur
ry County has $4,000 acres in whea,
although but nine per cent of the
land Of Curry is under ~ul,ivatiNn.
The farmers of that county made a
killing last year and learned that
work, though hard, brings all the
sane results that money can cause
automobiles, better homes, larger
farms better schools and roads, bet
ter living and greater contentment
than are achieved by men who slack
and rely on others to help secure
blessings for them instead of win
ming for themselves by means of
their own brain and brawn.--Albu-

WILL BRATTON THROW
HIS sOMBRERO INTO
CONGRESSIONAL RING?

Will the east side of the state
furnish the next democratic nominee
for congress again this year. In
1916 Judge Granville A. Richardson,
Of Roswell, was given the nomination
rs consolation prize after he had
been defeated for the senatorial nom-
ination. Now the name of Sam G.
Bratton Of Clovis, one Of the judges
in that judicial district, is being men
toned. Some Of the old timers point
to the fact that the representatives
in the past, Rodey, Andrews, Curry,
Ferguson, Walton and Hernandez
were all from the western part Of the
state and take the position that this
section Of New Mexico Is entitled to
name the democratic candidate this
year.
1t is said that Judge Bratton has
not been sounded out" on the sub
ect and il is not known whether he
would accept the nomination even
IL It were rendered him without a
contest. He is serving his first year
as Judge and might prefer to remain
OH the bench instead Of going to
Washington, assuming that he could
be elected, which Of course, is un'
certain. His friends, however, arr
firm in the belief he is the strongest
man the democrats could name.--Al
