MIR. SPRINGER VS.. MIR. sULLY.

day or two ago listened to an interesting
discussion between two very prominent citizens ON
the subject of the history of mine taxation in New
Mexico.
These men were completely familiar with their
subject. One in sympathy with Mr.. Springer
and his associates in their determination not to allow
the Chino Copper company and their associates to
get the best Of it, The others sympathies were the
other way about.
What occurred to us was the righteousness OF
allowing these conflicting interests to be squabblng
before a legislature as to what kind of tax law
should be in force
From whence came the commission of any of
these gentlemen to write their own tax laws? Such
q situation is preposterous. who would say that be-
two cattle thieves cannot agree upon how the
law should read or what the penalty shall be, the
Judge should refrain from sentencing them. Or at
any rate should make the sentence very digit?
OF course these taxed interests should be heard
But they should be permitted to decide,
Yet for years and years they have quarreled
over laws and then have written their compromise
upon the statute books.
At this moment the mine tax is being paid under
a compromise between these gentlemen arrived at
at an all-nght session, in which Mr.. Bursum acted
as umpire and made the final decision as to what
should be done. Some fine little system for SOW
ereign state, would opine. And public sentiment
has tolerated it.
1t Is high time that the people take hand and
that dsinteresed public officials begin making tax
laws 1t is high time that these gentlemen be made
to go away back and sit down, ceasng to function
as the legislature of this state.
Everybody wants to be fair to them. They need
not fear public sentiment if they will surrender their
usurped powers aw-makers. But the public is in
mood to punish them il they persist in their at
tempt to dictate candidates and policies, to write
tax laws.

GOVERNOR HAGERMAN's LETTER.

In another column will be found very important
communication from Ex-Governor H. j. Hagerman
which all should read
This article discusses with intelligence and vision
some of our fundamental tax troubles in New Mexico
with regard to the personal phase of our intlma'
tion that we were Disseminated against at the hear
ing we decline to withdraw the intimaton. We
were.
II any judged by our inference that we were
suspicious of the impartialty of the commission con-
corning the matter in hand, we wish to disabuse
their minds We believe that the commission is
laboring industrously and intehgently to solve our
problems. 80"
If they will give us tentative report ahead OF
% final one with an invitation to criticize It, so that
adverse comment cannot be construed as hostlllty,
Great good can come out of it.
The fundamental fact remains that water cannot
rise higher than its level, and that no better gov
eminent can be had than public sentiment demands.
To the degree only that moral tone is given TO
government can there be good government. IL tax
evasion, by big little, is tolerated by public sentl-
ment and the practitioner of that vice is regarded
by the people as merely shrewd, but not criminal
tax evasion will continue to be practiced.
If a tax law is not devised and public sentiment
built up which will not permit the honest taxpayer
TO be penazed for his honesty, low moral tone is
bound to be the result Everybody listing his prop
erty at its full value, without evasion, and then a
low tax rate is the only equitable and decent system
Renewed public interest must be taken in the
character and ability of the man who does the as
sessing For the office of assessor to be political
plum or for the question of who is elected to 1t to
be ignored by the voters is bound to bring bad re-
suits. .#'t

Today, Mr.. Editor, will forever
be day in American history,
greater even than the day Lincoln
issued his emancipation proclama-
ton, for today at our national
capital, Mr.. Colby issued the proc
lamation, declaring the nineteenth
amendment to the national consti-

a part of the national constitution.
Glory be! And women now take
heir places beside meH as their
political equals. How unjust their
condition was, how just this new
condition is! Thank God.
And, Mr.. Editor, this brings
the thought, what a blessing it IS
that one has lived in this great
country to see nationwide prohi-
bition, nationwide woman suffrage
and we all hope to live to see ma
tion-wide presidential direct pri-
mary laws! Speed the day.
And now that we have nation wide
woman suffrage, what will be the
consequence? Nothing but good,

women, is eleVating everywhere. |

and saw complete woman suffrage
in force in that state of Washing
ton. 1t was a surprising and most
civilizing success and will be SO
everywhere.
Woman's first duty now that She
has power to help herself, will no
doubt be to remove the state shack
les that still bind her. The ma
tional great amendment only gives
her the right to vote, not to hold
office, we must remove shackles Of
that kind at the first opportunity.
Also we must make the woman
equal to man before the law In New
Mexico, If the wife dies, the hus-
band takes the whole community
property, but not so if the hus-
band dies, for the wife in the alb
sence of will does not take all
the community property, but only
her own half, and a quarter of the
other half. AS boy more than

Mr. Crane, who went to China a few weeks ago.
Though once appointed by President Taft Crane
called back from the sailing wharf in San Fran

do in China. He afterward became a Wilson aid,

Gerard was sent to Germany as ambassador. He
also had paid the price during the campaign.
And Francis of Missouri got his moneys worth
