ANOTHER Roy WONDER.

In a speech up in of the Dakotas. Franklin
! D. Roosevelt eprang this:
LAS matter of fact the United States has
| about . votes in the league of nations assem-
| bly,; until last week I had two of them myself
! and now Secretary Daniels has them. You
know I have had something to do with the
| running of a couple of little republics Facts
are that l wrote ITaitis constitution myself
and if l do say it think it is a pretty good
constitution
Why let Lloyd George do it any more? Frank
and Dan have the tricks right in their vest pockets
and Wilson did not know it when he was defending
himself from Senator Johnson for letting Great
Britain have six votes and the United States but
Frank Roosevelt in his mind, has annexed some
South American countries to beat the English owned
colonies Canada India. South Africa and others.
But why let George know about this smart trick
until he springs something in the league council?
Maybe George will not allow us to enter the league
when he knows what THIS smart young man has put
on him,
President Wilson was seeking to run only part Of
North America Europe, Asia and Africa, but this
office man in the navy department on the q. t. be-
came fixer in the manana lands while Wilson
wasn't looking.
Maybe by the time Frank swings around on his
revealing tour he will have Mexico tied up.to let him
cast the vote of that country when she gets good
enough to not be blackballed by France England
when entry to the league is desired
But by that time Europe may find out about the
double-cross the would-be vice president plans.
The democratic national committee may call in
the boy wonder before he gives away moro wonder
full information. Cox may get jealous of the deeds
to which the young man confesses.
And President Wilson may get peeved because OIL
this jobhoder giving away about this country run
ming little republics. While the apostle of self
determination was telling little republics over seas
that nobody should run them the navy department
behind guns was writing constitutions shoot into

promise Any man who will VIC
late such a promise will violate The
| promise to support the four pIankI
that head your editorial column.
S. Governor O. A, Larrazolo, GU
of all the republicans of the state
has chosen Frank A. Hubbell as
his political adviser and as his
spokesman and representative in
Bernalillo county. He has accept
| ed his recommendation over the
combined views of the Bernalillo
county republicans on important
matters. He now seeks to take
Hubbell with him into power. Hub
bell has been recognized by Berna-
lilo county republicans as a bad
influence in politics.
6. We oppose Larrazolo because
we believe that should a vacancy
occur in the United States senate
from any cause, while Larrazolo is
governor. he would appoint Hub
bell to fill the vacancy. We do not
care to take even this remote
chance of having Hubbell represent
this state in the United States SEN
ate.
7. Governor Larrazolo sought
from the last state legislature q
law which would force bi-lingual
education upon the school children
of the state. He demanded a sys-
tenn requiring that all children be
taught from books containing Eng
fish on one page and Spanish text
on the opposite. This in the United
States of America and not old Mex
leo. No wonder there are those
who wish to change the name of
our beloved state.
s. We oppose Governor LARA
zolo because he has during his
career in our state. both before and
as soon as he. became governor,
sought to raise race prejudice be-
tween Spanish ana English speak
ing citizens. The Spanish and
English speaking citizens have
lived together in New Mexico, en-
joying the mutual respect of each
other for a great many years and
any person who tries to produce
discord between the English and
Spanish citizens of our state is an
enemy to the best interest of the
state of New Mexico. We believe
that he has done this for his own
personal gain and not for any de-
sire for the advantage of the race
he represents. Any one who will
resort to such means should have
no place in the public life of our
state, especially not in its executive
office.
9. We oppose Governor LARA
colo because during the recent
strike of coal miners at Gal
lup, he caused his mounted
police to arrest without for
nal complaint or warrant GER
tain men, who were Illegally trans
ported to Santa F'e and who were
thrown into state prison, where
they were held two nights and a
day, without any charge being pre-
ferred against them. LAWYERS who
sought to consult with these men
as their counsellors were denied ad-
to them by the governor.
These men were subsequently re-
leased by the order of the governor
and up to date no charge has ever

having long experience in the min
ing business.
II is an elementary principle in
INNING that ore in a vein repeats
itseh IN qualty and quantity as the
miner proceeds on the vein. This
truism shows that frequent changes
occur, and any value placed upon
mines other than a net value of
yearly product is purely supositious
and mere guess work. am al this
point reminded of an attempt made
in Sierra county by the assessor
with the conniyance of the other
officials OF that county, to place
an adValorem tax on the Illinois
mine, of which l was part owner
iand manager Ny return was made
yearly as my book showed whari
the net profits were by law subject

a return of all machinery, tools
and buildings on the surface, with
the cost of the land from the gov
eminent, on over 500 acres at S.
per acre, the amount paid for pat
ented claims.
Again, returns had to be mace
on all bills receivable which Nigh.
or not be had from sales of the
same yearly product. All the
above returns, while somewhat in
the line of duplication were thought
as sufficient; but no, the assessor
and board Of commissioners added
a ten thousand dollar adyalorem
value tax on the mine. When n
protest was made, the said county
officials refused to abate this supo-
sitious advalorem value upon it.
Receiving no relief at home, ap-
plication was made to the terri
torial board of equalization which
quickly issued a mandatory order
to the Sierra county commission
ers to abate the unjust and unlaw-
full advaorem tax on investiga-
ton 1t seems that this action of the
Officials of Sierra county was
stimulated because their salaries

Bateman law made the full pay

discreditable and unlawful plan

and the true interest of the mining
industry. There is such a thing as
destroying the goose that lays the
golden egg; hence it is the better
part of wisdom to go slow in the
matter of taxation, for the great

Why Governor @. A. Larraz0Io
Should Not Be Re-NOn.inated

(The Journal invited Governor
Larrazolo's opponents to set fortl
in writing why he should not be
renominated. The first communi.
cation received is published below }
August q, 1920.
Editor Morning Journal.
Albuquerque, n. M.
Dear Strive note your request
of Thursday morning. asking that
certain republican leaders write to
you stating for publication the rea-
sons for their opposition to the re-
nomination of q. A. Larra2olo for
governor, which nomination you
favor. | disclaim any aspiration
for party leadership, but since my
name was of enough importance to
occupy a place in your editorial
column this Saturday morning and
as a member of the rank and file
of the republican party. who hope
for better government in New
Mexico and genuine reform of such
defects and abuses in government
as now exist. | wish to state my
reasons for opposing the renomi-
nation of Mr. Larrazolo.
You ask that the reasons be
specific. l will make them as spe-
cific as possible, They are as fol-
lows:
/. Governor LarraZolo has par
doned eighty-siX convicts from the
state pententiary during the first
eighteen months of his administra-
ton. Twenty-Five of these had
been convicted of murder. others
included livestock thieves and al
most every other form of criminal.
Either our courts We're wrong or
Larrazolo has abused a power of
his office. Having had some eX-
perience with thieves, l prefer the
courts.
2. Larrazolo has flagrantly vio-
lated every stand of economy and
efficiency in demanding the crea-
ton of new jobs to be filled with
his political strikers and refused to
have discontinued existing offices
that are wholly unnecessary To the
public welfare, notable the office
of insurance commissioner. In the
light of this record his promises
for economy and efficiency in state.
mean nothing.
3. Governor Larrazolo refused
to approve a very good state high
way law until he had been given
the power to appoint county
highway superintendent without
the advice and council of county
commissioners in the several coun-
ties This was done in gross sub
servience of public interest to the
of a personal political ma.

a part of the machine he is re-
moved. to-wit, the county highway
of San Miguel
county.
4. Governor Larrazolo promised
an executive committee of the New
Mexico Educational association,
5000 New Mexico
school teachers. to ask the special
session of the legislature to give
them salaries under which they
they could live. He ignored his
pledged word,

We hold this proceeding to have
been illegal. un-American and out
.rageous, regardless of the case that
might have been made against

might be pursued with impunity

must not be tolerated under the

There are other reasons that
