democratic State Committee)

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Oct. 20, 1920.
With less than two weeks unit
election day, it is now certain tina
the whole democratic ticket will b,
elected, provided they do not de
feat themselves through over-confi
dence.
Every voter favorable to cleanint
up rotten politics in TIE state mus
go to the polls and vote, if victory
is to be certain.
This is campaign in which ev.
cry taxpayer is vitally interested
The state must have capital and
population-capital to develop the
states latent resources, population
ito assist in the maintenance of
schools, roads, and other activities
necessary to the states prosperity.
The census figures tell a story
which should make every citizen take
notice. In ten years, despite New
Mexico's climate ard fertile lands
that may be had at low prices. and
the "ten Chinos" Mr.. Sully saws
are waiting development, this state
gained less than $4,000 in popula-
ton; Arizona, under rule of the
people, for the people and by the
people. gained 10000 in popula-
ton. New Mexico gained one per
cent a year and Arizona over six
PEI cent.
There is reason.
The mines of New Mexico nav
taxes on total valuation of about
$50, 100000. If the mines were
located in Arizona, they would pay
on $102,000,OCO.0O, plus not less
than $10,000,000,00 surface values.
Bursum constitutes himself de
fender Of the Chino Copper Com
pany's taxes. In the Albuquerque
Morning Journal he states that the
Chino sustained a net loss of S442,-
651.25, instead Of a net profit in
1918 of $2,283,127.2O, and that the
net profit in 1917 was $4,728,134.69.
But John M. Sully, general manager
Of the Chino, stated in the Com
mercial and Financial Chronicle of
September 25, 1920, that the net
profits of the Chino were. For 1919,
S1,O38,9O9; for 1918, $4,O1O,272;
for 1917, $9,826,616; for 1916, $12,-
517,876. One statement was made
for the consumption of the taxpay
ers in this election; the other was
q report for the information of the
stockholders of the company.
The Chino stockholders only paid
into the company total of $l,875,-
600; and they have received back
in dividends in seven years, $780,
100000. In addition they have Lib
erty bonds to the value of $4,5OO,-
900 and they also control the Gal
lup-American Coal Company, for
which $3,000,000 was paid and in
to which about $1,000,0OO more has
been invested, which pays no taxes.
The whole question for the vot-
ers of New Mexico to decide is
whether they shall go on paying
high taxes and seeing other sections
Of the United States grow and pros
per, while this state stands still.
People will not come here when
they know the state is bossed by

special interests.
He runs it for these special in

The candidates nominated by the
Democrats for the important offices
OF county commissioners are in ev-
cry respect all that any voter could
ask. c. NJ, Milbourn, the candidate
in the first district, is a young, en-
ergetic, successful farmer and a
shrewd business mantle is finishing
a two years term in the office, and
has proven himself Jealous, pains
taking and discerning in the inter
ests of the taxpayers. L. A. Will
liams, the candidate in the second
district, is also a successful farmer,
intelligent and wide awake, energet-
ic and enterprising. He can see
through a grindstone as far as any
body. c. E. Davenport, the candi-
date in the third district, is a
trained business man and account
ant, perfectly familiar with business
methods, alert and quick to see the
merits or demerits of any business
proposition. 1t would be hard to
find stronger team than these
three to look after the business af-
fairs. of the county. And each one
of them is a man of the strictest
integrity, having the high esteem
and confidence of all who know him.
They are men you can bank on in
any situation. You are absolutely
safe in voting for Milbourn, Will
liams and Davenport.
