PRIVATE SALE VS.. PUBLIC SALE.

A little machine paper of the republican party
which is published at Santa Fe, recently took
shot at us with it's pop-gun The local organ Of
the oligarchy reproduced the article.
The story played hard upon our having said
that oil leases upon 100000 acres OF school
lands brought a bonus of only $147,Oo0 when we
should have said 100000 acres, which seems to
be all of the u 100000 which was leased, brought
a bonus of $4,000. Evidently spectators re-
garded the other 4,5OOO 900 worthless for
oil and would give nothing for it, so that il
would not be far from the facts to say that the
entire 100000 brought only $4,000 bonus.
We promptly corrected our statement when we
found it inexact, however
The land office claims through this little
sheet, that they received $425,OOO bonus on this
land They know. of course, that this is false,
but continue to try to have it appear that we
were inaccurate to the extent of 100000.
We were writing of how little bonus was re
ceived from the private sale of leases. That
bonus was only $4,000 including the returns
from 900 900 of the 100000 which this
petty sheet says was sold public auction at six
cents an
If this be true 100000 sold at six cents at
public sale Melted $50, 900 SO the balance of g.
500 900 must have sold for $4,000 to make up
the total of 1928, 900 which the department re-
ceived.
In other words 100000 acres sold at public
auction brought practically as much as $780,
900 sold at private sale. This rather proves
our contention about the viciousness of private
sa lie system Had the whole 100000 acres been
sold at public sale and brought the same average
price 1t would have Melted the children of New
Mexico $4,000 instead of $123,ooO
This added to the 100000 since received Tal9
deferred rentals and renewals, and which they.

The statement that there Is q

The government has designated thi2

just completed permanent build
ing and equipment at an expense
of more than $1,000,000.

1t seems to me that it is the duty
of the state to do all it can to fos-

hardships upon them by sending

DECENT METHODS.

All New Mexico the non English speak.
ing Spanish Amerlcana are being told by repubi
workers that they not register unless
they will vote the republican ticket. This is fine
high-minded political propaganda!
They are also being told that if the demo-
Gratis get into power they will d*franchise the
Spanish American.
The people circulating this story know better
They know that no has any disposition tc
try to disfranchise this great body of voters They
know too, that this could not be done under
any circumstances even if any wished to do it.
Here is section of article of the New Mex
leo state constitution:
1.-THE right of any citizen of the United
States to vote, hold office sit upon juries,
shall never be restricted, abridged or i'm
paired on account of religion race, language
or color or inability to speak, read or
write the English or Spanish languages except
as may he otherwise provided in this constl-
tution; and the provisions of this section ana
of section one of this article shall never be
amended except upon vote of the people
of this state in an election at which at least
tbree-fourths of the electors voting in the
whole state and at least two-thirds of those
voting in each county of the state shaH vote
for such amendment"
It can be seen that "a per cent of the voters IN
anv one Spanish speaking county can stop any
effort of the state to dsfranchse these good peo-
nile. Let's be decent in our campaign methods.

An when Sammie opened the

were twenty-seven carrot sand

fifty leven slices of currant bread
spread with marmalade, some sas-

JUST FOLKS
PLEASURES.
Copyright, 1920. by Edgar A. Guest.

God intended us to smile
An enjoy ourselves the while.
He knew we'd come to sorrow
An our eyes would fill with tears,
He knew we'd get upset
An find cares that make us fret,
SO He strewed the flowers o. pleasure
Down the valley of the years
Since He gave us different minds,
He made pleasures of all kinds,
And there's no one ever lived here
But could find his special joy;
This old world is crammed so full
OF the glad an beautiful,
That whatever suits our fancy
We can find it, man or boy.
/
Some of us it seems there are
Who prefer to travel far,
Seeking wonders an excitement
An strange scenes An 50 they roam
But the world is just as bright,
Just as full of true delight
An there's just as much of gladness
For the ones who stay at home.
I'm happier, I think,
With the roses red an pink
An my little patch O. pansies
An the vines along the wall,
An the youngsters at my side
An my few friends true and tried,
Than l would be sailin oceans
