The text of Mr.. Bursum's letter follows:

bossism." l did not ride herd"
The convention was not composed
of cattle or swine. The conven-
ton was composed Of .lS9 repre-
sentative citizens. duly accredited
delegates, or one delegate for each
twenty republican voters in the
state, which delegates were from
every county and most OF the pre-
cincts in the state. Such delegates
were respectively selected by Off
cially and regularly called conven-
tions and primaries throughout the
state.
II, as one of the d1ly accredlt-
ed delegates, proposed Judge
Mechem for governor. What I said
in his behalf was said in public on
the platform Of the convention,
without consulting any person, not
even Carl Magee. In doing so I
acted within my authority as a del
egate and as a citizen. Six hun
dred twelve delegates voted for
Judge Mechem, after which sew
eral counties changed their votes
in his favor and thereafter mo-
ton to make the nomination unan-
imous was carried. Do you deny
a citizen who is a duly accredited
delegate to a convention the right
in open convention to publicly pro-
pose for nomination such person
as to him may seem proper, and to
publicly state his reasons why
such proposed nomination should
be ratified by such convention? If
you do you had better join the
soviets; If you do not you had bet
ter curb your slanderous accusa-
tions.
Also Defines "Mine Operator"
You make a lot of noise about
the mine tax law. Don't you know
that the candidate whose candidacy
you were supporting, Mr.. LARA
zolo, received sixty-four votes from
Colfax and ten votes from McKin-
ley-total seventy-four votes--in
which counties are located the
mines which produce 95 per cent
of the coal OF the state. while
Mechem received all told seventy
two votes from Grant, Mckinley
and Colfax counties? / place no
significance on this vote-men
have perfect right TO differ on
political questions-but merely
mention this fact incidentally to
show the fallacy of your propa-
ganda. I do not consider miners

This class of our citizenship is en-

THE present mine tax law was
copied principally from Utah, 1t
was passed. if | remember correct
ly, in 1915. and was approved by
a democratic governor, William G.
Mcdonald, so that the responsible
ity for its passage is divided be-
tween the republican and demo-
cratic parties. ! do not say this
in derogation OF Governor McDon-
aid because | regard Governor Nc
Donald as having given the state
an able administration. At the
time of the passage of this law the
Chino company's tax. which seems
to be the principal mining COM
pany which you are giving especial
attention to, was approximately
100000 per annum. Today this
same company, under the mine tax
law. pays in excess of 100000 an
nually. This law was not perfect,
but it was an Improvement of the
system in vogue at that time, and
not nearly so defective a law as
some demagOgues would have peo-
pie believe. The valuation upon
which this tax is paid approximates
sixteen millions. The market value
of the stock in New York repre-
senting the capital of this company
approximates $24,000.000, SO that
If one were to take the market
value of the stock the tax would
be paid upon a basis lof about 10
per cent. No doubt the true theory
should be that all property holders
should pay on the basis of 100 per
cent of the value OF their holdings.
But the true theory of equality
is by comparison. If all people pay
on a 10 per cent valuation that
would make taxation equal I find
that the Chino is not the only con-
carn which does not pay taxes on
100 per cent of its valuation.
There are others. For instance the
Albuquerque Morning Journal was
bought by you for $4,000. 1t is
to be presumed that that is its
value. Yet on the tax roll it ap-
pears for the year 1920 as being
worth $4,000. Therefore the rate
of taxation upon which you are
taxed would be only about II per
cent of the true value of your
prepsrey, while 1nesS sopger

WHITE SOX LOST PENNANT
FOR 1920 BECAUSE 2 MEN
LAY DOWN., COLLINS SAYS
CBy The Associated Press)

st, Louis. Mo, Oct. 2.-Charges
that the Chicago White Sox failed
to repeat their triumph of 1919
and retain the American league
championship because two players
failed to put forth their best ef-
forts this season were made in a
statement here tonight by Edward
T. Collins, second baseman and
captain of the team.
Collins did not name the players
to whom he referred, but asserted
they were among the seven recent
ly suspended from the club and
indicted by the grand jury at Chi
cago in connection with the world
series gambling scandal.
Collins blamed Arnold (Chick)
Gandll, former Chicago first base
man, who was also indicted in the
gambling expose, with instigating
the corruption"
The two players to whom Collins
referred We're under suspicion all
year, he said. but no proof could
be obtained against them.
THE White Sox players who re-
manned loyal to the club are salts
fled they had the best team In the
league Collins stated, "and while
we do not begrudge Cleve and one
bit of the honor and prestige that
an American league pennant car
ries with it, we. believe that only
through the corruption instigated
primarily by Chick Gandil was
the downfall of the team brought
about"
Collins said that no action
against the alleged offenders was
contemplated by The other mem
bers Of the club. who are satisfied
to let the matter be handled by the
civil authorities at present con-
Quoting the investigation.
