planks following for adoption part of the republican
platform at the approaching state convention There
many other proper subjects for inclusion. We confine
ourselves to these fundamental.
If there is objection to the subject matter the
phraseoogy, invite criticism.
This is given crystalline sentiment. We sup
port forward-lookng candidate who is earnestly
mtted to such policy. Perhaps notifications be
suggested which accept.
If you approve such planks it will be we'll to let the
delegates the convention from your county know of
your attitude
We want the sentiment of the rank and file of the
party, instead of small committee pass upon these
vital provisions.

As At Bull Run.

Editor Morning Journal: 1 read
a newspaper as | read a book, be-
ginning at the first page and ending
with the last. On going through
the Journal Wednesday morning
you can imagine my extreme graft
fication when I beheld your lead
ing editorial under the head line,
"Round Number One" Knowing
you went to Las Vegas on Tuesday
evening I was not expecting this
declaration until after your return.
However, this challenge which I
knew was to follow very soon is
most opportune in its place. The
small victory gained by the tax
dodgers supporters on Tuesday
evening reminds me of the first
victory of the Confederatcy at Bull
Run, July 81, 1851. The old slave
drivers while splitting their to-
bacco juice in all four directions
declared, 1.-The wah is now ovah.
Peace will be declared In fow
weeks" Let the tax-dodging trust
take notice and not be quite so
jubilant as the Confederates were.
The war is not over. Such a prop
osition can not be entertained at
this time. The prospects are too
bright at the present time, and they
will continue to grow brighter as
the months go by to entertain any
terms of peace, The terms of sur
render will be dictated in behalf of
the people of New Mexico, and the
note will be very simple in its pur-
port The rights of every man,
woman and child must be equal be-
fore the law. and no favors are to
be granted to any corporation or
individual. Justice, judgment and
mercy must prevail. The Appoto-
mattox is coming. The God of the
universe is always found on the
side of the just Tax-dodgers and
favored corporations take notice.

hand, we assure all those wishing
to invest in our state, complete
protection against confiscatOry taxa
ton. We pledge ourselves that no
special interests shall be permitted
to exercise undue influences i'm
writing such a tax law. Decision
as to what is equitable must rest
with the Representatives of the peo-
pie without any scandalous lobby
ing to affect that decision.
THE PUBLIC LANDS AND FUNDS
The public lands and the pro-
ceeds derived therefrom are pub
lie trust. These lands and funds
must be administered with sacred
fidelity. That the public may be
assured of the safety of these lands
and funds and the wisdom of the
policies Of the land office and the
board investing the funds, we
pledge ourselves to complete in
vestigation by an expert non-parti-
san commission with ample time
given them TO look into every
phase of the management. We
pledge full publicity to this report.
We will submit to the people a
COnStltutiOfldl dI1CuuAtCht pIotHuhbss
for a bipartisan board to manage
these lands and funds, that our
citizens may express their wish
with regard to such a method OF
handling them. This does not,
however, commit any republican to
vote for such an amendment as a
test of party loyalty.
In the meantime we pledge such
supervision and scrutiny of these
departments as the above investi-
CATION proves to be necessary to the
safety of the lands and funds.
Realizing that the cattle and
sheep industries are two OF tie chief
assets of the state and that they
are the source of incomes from the
rented lands OF the state, we favor
no such change Of policy as will be
inimicaI to their prosperity. How
ever, the highest rentals obtain
able, consistent with the continued
prosperity OF leases should be
had.
We favor such a system of leas-
ing as will he just, will prevent
fayoItfism and will prevent spccu-
