THE OTHER FELLOW SAYS
SOME MORE LEGISLATION

A bill has passed the state senate
which would do away with the pub
lication of articles of incorporation.
What the fate of the bill in the
house will be is yet to be seen. Ap-
parently some OF the legal lights
who are trying to shape the detin-
les Of the state. would prefer that
the people should know nothing of
the incorporation of new companies
If the people are to be protected in
their purchase of stock the more
publicity that is given such matters
the better.
Another bin has made its appear
ance which would reduce the legal
rate for publication of legal notices.
With the possible exception OF some
of the dailies we doubt if there is
a newspaperman in New Mexico who
could not take a job in another Of
flee a regular printers or linotype
operators wages and make more
clear money than he does with the
newspaper he has now, and in which
ne has from one TO several thou-
sand dollars invested. Should the
rate for legal publications be cut as
it was few years ago, there IS hut
one thing for the newspaperman TO
do and that is to refuse to max
tie publication at the legal rate.
There is no more reason why the
legislature should say what a pub
Usher should charge for his work
than that it should set a rule for the
attorneys fees in the various cases.
Aud there is no way OF compelling
a publisher to make the publication
and lose money thereby.-Montain-
air Independent.

standards OF foreign labor instead OF
striving to reduce the standards Of
our own? If they are honest IN
their internationalism, they should
suffer great anguish OF mind to see
the harsh environment of the Eur
opean laboreT, and one would think
their efforts would be DIRECTED to-
ward ameliorating his condition.
However, nine times out OF ten,
the truth of the matter is that these
Tree trade sob-sisteTs are pretty
much interested in importing fore
ign products free OF duty because
OF the added profits which ii means
to them as distributors OF those
goods in America Either that OF
they are people who have prolitcd
by protection TO point where they
have expanded into foreign fields,
are taking advantage Of the cheap
ct labor 10 be found there, and DO
not wish TO lose that advantage by
way OF protective duties.
Fortunately there are some hard
headed Republicans in Congress, and
ont. who know their little game and
do not propose 10 be hocussed by "a
rl1udlin scut.mentaliSm induced by
The prospect of ,hom profits.
New Mexico state record., 1921-02-11
PUBLIC SHOULD BE INFORMED

One good reason exists why laws
governing publication should not be
repealed by the state legislature now
in session Notices Of the press in
form the public of what is gong on
of a legal nature. Announcement
should be made OF transactions from
recording deeds, legislative county
and city proceedings, on down 10
any action taken by a servant OF
the people. These things inform the
citizens OF the true state OF affairs
and should be given wide circulation
OF course it would cost money, but
the average man is not stingy W
he recognizes tRe value OF such pub
licity. 1t would be interesting to
know tie originator of the idea OF
the repeal OF the statutes on the
subject OF pay ior the printer for
running an advertisement. Maybe
some OF the big interests object to
having publicity made OF proceed
ings believed to be OF no concern
to an inquisitiye proletariate. The le-
gislature should pass a law com
pelling the publication of every pro
ccedlHg OF public nature transac-
ted by paid employee OF the state,
county and town in New MeNico, At
a rate guagod at cost plus twenty
five percent or less.--Glcnrio Tribu-

SALARIES OF GOVERNORS

When the House committee on In
sular affairs recently had before II
bill proposing an increase OF sal
aries in the Philippines, particularly
an increase OF the salary OF the gov
ernor general from $4,000 to S2s,-
900 per year, the chairman OF the
committee. Representative Horace
M. Towner, of Iowa, gave expression
to his view that the wishes OF the
Philippine government should be res
pected. The committee had before II
a telegram from the legislative as
semhly OF the Philippines protesting
against the increase, which the peo-
pie of the Islands would be called
upon to pay. In that connection II
is interesting TO note that the high
est paid governor of one of the Uni
ted States is $1,000 paid TO the gov
ernor of Illinois. A salary of $1,000
is paid 10 the governors of Caliior-
mia. Massachusetts,. New Jersey,
New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Other states pay lesser amounts.

DALLYINC DEMOCRATS

The Democratic press is having z
ard time finding any excuse for
tie administrati tons dallying with ID
problem Of funding debts due the
United States from foreign countries
There is too much evidence of an
inclination to let matters drift until
cancellation pleas would be ca
10 urge upon the country. So far as
we know. none Of our Democratic
favor cancellation, yet,
by their silence, they permit a situa-
ton to arise which world make il
easy for European countries to as
sert that the United States never

he loans were merely Americas ad-
contribution to the war
That is the effect of the Wilsonian
attitude. and the Democratic press
gives it silent assent.
