A CHEERFUL MESSAGE

THE ADDRESS of A. p. Davis, director Of the federal reclamation
service, at the Chamber of Commerce yesterday morning. is one
, that should inspire not only hope but action throughout the cen.
fral Rio Grande valley. Mr.. Davis not only expressed a deep personal
interest in the irrigation and drainage problems of this valley, but
he expressed also his conviction that they are problems which can
and will be worked out. II is significant that this is the first definite
expression Of this kind from an executive OF the federal reclamation
service. Mr.. Davis 5 statement that Secretary Fall is fully informed
8 TO these problems aud is keenly interested in their solution is like
wise the first instance in which a secretary Of the interior has shown
such an interest
While careful not to commit himself to amy definite program
MS 10 engineering policy or federal aid, which the reclamation ser
yiec Is without authority to extend until further legislation has been
enacted, Mr. Davis still made it plain TO his audience that his study
n the local conditions had been thorough and had led hun 70 the
conclusion that drainage aud irrigation OF practically the whole val.
lev could be made possible without encountering any conflict with
tho real or asserted rights of the lower valley. He Indicated his be
lief that congress would enact the legislation necessary to permit
federal aid in the development of both irrigation aud drainage ss-
tens ~ ~.

but il is likely that the information coming straight from head
quarters will awaken us TO the fact that federal aid cannot be cx-
Ipected to drop on us unsought, like mama from heaven; that we
will have to seek it, organize for il and be ready to present a com
|pleted project as TO plan and cooperation, before we can get any
assistance.
This means a campaign Of education in this valley such as has
been needed for years and such as has never yet been undertaken.

every land owner in the valley that Drainage and a modern irrigation

PART TIME PUBLIC SERVICE

an ITEM from Santa Fe In yesterdays Herald stated that State
n Treasurer Charles Y. Strong had announced his resignation as
- cashier Of The Mora Trust q Savings bank Ito devote his entire
time TO the state freasurcrs office"
This comnendabls. although belated decision on the part of the
state treasurer suggests the thought that Mr.. Strong, at this late
date in his official career has picked the wrong job from which TO
resign
The treasurers decision, however, simply serves to again direct
attention to the fact that the office of state treasurer has been a part
time lob. both under Nh. Strong and his predecessors in that office,
and the office has invariably suffered as a result. To undertake
to scrv "a cashier of a bank and as state treasurer of New Mexico
at the same time presents an inevitable conflict OF interests. Mr.
Strong had plenty Of precedent The necessity he has found for
separating himself from one Of the jobs may substitute law for pre-
ccdent to guide future treasurers.
In fact we note in the Gallup Herald Of las, week that Judge
Reed Honcman stated to the editor Of that paper: The next New
Mexico legislature win pass a law rakng i obligatory upon the
candidate elected 10 a office TO fill that office personally, and to
make il impossible for any one elected to an office 20 draw the
salary of the office unless he does actually perform the dufies OF
that office" |
There had been a popular impression that some such law al
ready existed. IL IL does not exist il certainly should. Judge Hollo-
mans sentiment is TO be commended, although his authority just at
this time TO state what the next New Mexico Legislature viii do
may be open to question. However, the Judge has indicated that
he is not averse to being considered rs q possible candidate for the
nomination for governor next year, and that may clothe him with
authority 10 mako a long distance forecast.
On the other hand il is likely that Judge Hcloman sees the
definite public demand for the permanent elimination OF part time
public service in this state at full time pay, which tho next legisla-
ture will probably recognize and which no public official in future
win dare to disregard
