A CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT

The decision of the chiefs in the recent sena-
torial election to conduct campaign free from the
use of improper money was long step forward in
civic decency Not only was it better morals but il
proved the more effective method of campaigning
However. isolated cases OF improper methods
come drifting to the Journals Many OF them
not entitled to belief; have coloring Of fact;
q few seem susceptible OF proof.
At Santa Fe, come local group raised con-
siderable sum of money and spent 1t improperly
Just who is responsible can not be stated
few cases OF improper methods in the use OF
money emphasize the need of real corrupt prac-
tees law in New Mexica. There should be prompt
and effective way to reach the culprt and land him
In the pententiary. The use Of state property FOR
private purposes should be proper cause for pro-
secuton.
In some precincts democrats were not allowed
to sit on election boards This was clear viola
ton of the law. Yet the law was 80 formed that
no penalty attaches to Its violation This was de-
Iberate and designed commission, OF course
The republican campaign committee had no
hand in these things and discouraged their use.
The platform at Santa Fe commits the party to
honest elections II it what It said that party
will pledge itself specifically to corrupt practices
act which will put end to election frauds.

MIGRATION FOR TWO PINTs

A Mediterranean steamer out of New YORK. 1t 10
reported has on board several passengers VINO are
going to live in Central Europe for year by order
of their physicians who stated that 1t was essential
for the health of their patients to have at least two
pints Of good beer daily"
The departure OF this handful Of thirsty exilos
need not give those Of us who stay at home any
great cause for worry. We shall probably be able
to keep the country going without them.
It Is even doubtful whether the nature OF the
rnaIadv which demands a tribute of two pints OF
good beer daily will general interest, except
perhaps for the purpose of finding out what it is,
SO that this disease may the better be avoided But
the destination of these victims of disease which
demands libation ftwo pints of good beer daily
gives cause for reflection. One Is justified In the
opinion that the treatment is terrible than the
malady. A year in Central Europe even with
generous measure of malt and hops as counter-ir-
ritant is a sentence not to be taken lightly FOR
patient who needs rest and quiet and moderate al
,owance of substantial food Central Europe makes
no appeal as desirable retreat.
There is too much brewing over there OF things
that are not to be quaffed There is too much stlr
ring In the political atmosphere and noe enough
in the Industrial field. In the weird succession or
social upheavels and disturbances 1t Is doubtful
whether one could be sure of his two pints OF
good beer daily. And even with the two pints 1t Is
a strange mixture Of fears and forebodings which
Central Europe has to offer these unfortunate ex-
lies from America.
In sober truth II must be admitted that az be-
tween Central Europe with It's two pints and Amer1-
ca with its soda pop the majority of us Will prefer
the latter. "..

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
A CLEAR SKY TO PORT
(From the Minneapolis Tribune

(From the Minneapolis Trbune)
It is an old saying that the House writes the
revenue laws and the Senate rewrites them. Pre-
csely that process is going now, with the Senate
committee on finance doing the preliminary edit.
ing for the Senate body
There are mouders and primers and amenders
Mt work. The final aggregate of their industry is
likely to be considerable but one thing seems to
stand out as certain to pass muster in the Senate
committees and the Senate floor Just 1t passed
muster in the committee and on the floor of the
House. That thing Is Of special interest to the man
whose income Ia called a moderate salary and the
man who is in business and makes limited yearly
profit. 1t is this: Five hundred dollars is to be
added to the present 80 900 exemption for the mar
ried man, and the exemption for each of his de-
pendents Is to be doubled, going up from 5000 to
1900.
A provision Of this kind will affect agreeably
hundreds OF thousands OF both men and women
to whom the problem Of living has been trouble
some one in these days OF high prices and high
taxes. married man having no children or other
dependents. IL he have gross income Of $4,000.
will pay under this provision an income tax Of $40
or 4 percent on $780, which would be the differ
ence between his exemption and his gross in
come. Under the present schedule he would pay
$40. This takes no account, of course of addi-
tional exemptions Of money paid as interest on
debts or in state and local taxes
Many other proposals for tax revision are In
for jostlings and buffetings in committees, in con-
ference and the floors of the two houses. but
the particular here referred to bids fair to have
clear sailing into port. When the anchor drops on
1t unnumbered hearts will be gladdened.

MExroo's INDEPENDENCE

Mexico is celebrating the centennial OF her in"
dependence from Spain. What hundred years IT
has been! Twice the country has been ruled nomi-
nally as an empire, and as a republic the greater
part of the time the government has not been more
stable. Often its presidents changed with the FREE
ouency OF the moon. 1t has been a turbulent CEN
tury and the last decade not less 30 than any
that preceded 1t.
The conditions in Mexico under the Spanish
dominion were the same as prevailed In other Span
ish-ruIed lands and under Independence they did
not improved. The Mexicans always have had an
affinity for trouble and II that spirit seems bit
dormant there is no assurance 1t will not awake
again How much of the responsibility for the in-
ternai dissensons which have characterized the peo-
pie are due to misgovernment and how much to the
natural liking OF the people for trouble may not
be accurately determined However, It is clear that
the people have not learned the lesson of yielding
to the majority and the majority has not learned
to consider the rights Of the majority.
Under the rule Of Diaz the government was
dsspotic yet It may be that such 10 the only kind
for which the Mexicans at present fitted 1t
Is certain that while there great abuses Of pow.

PROTECTION FOR THE GENEROUS

Rev. DR.. Wilbur F. Crafts, reformer, says that
promoter and solicitors Of many "antr societies
have mulcted thousands of dollars from people
scared by 'futurist paintings of dreadful laws" and
kept a good deal of the money. Probably he is
right. The land Is full OF gulIible people But not

to fight blue laws that threaten only In the minds
of the collectors. nericans such free gvers to
all kinds OF causes that they may be Nctmlzed right

actually concerned for comforting benefits on the
needy OF ons kind or another.
A stop should be put to haphazard movements
calling for money donations. They are fruitful Of
waste and extravaganza and sometimes of graft
There be no more legitimate objection to an or
ganization to combat 'blue laws than to one to
promote them. People who support either en-

under the Diaz regime there was order and the
nation progressed with great rapidity. Had it been
more benevolent despotism It might not have been
succeeded by the turmoil that ensued.
Yet the internal disorder which has marked the
hundred years of independence Is not surprising
when the mixed character Of the population is con-
sidered Three-fourths OF the people are of Indian
blood. either pure or mixed Naturally ignorance
prevails. Yet the natural of the country
offer great possibilities The centennial celebration
marks more the lapse OF time than great political
advancement, though progress commercially has
been made, OF course. 1t Is to be hoped that en-
trance the second century will usher in an era
of stability and quiet.

ward industry would make Mexico's second hun

Editor Magee:
Now that the senatorial election

both political parties should now
Iclean-house and reorganize, leads
one to believe that you either Just
naturally like to fight, else want to
see a fight or that now since the
election is over life is too quiet for
you in New Mexico.
You have encountered difficult
ties in the past, but when you I'M
dertake to censor, displace and
disregard certain individuals,
methods and interests in New Mex
leo politics you have tackled Job
! that will keep a regiment of
| Magee's and Journals busy for
quite while.
It Is true that you know enough
about rotten politics and question:

New Mexico to make even the devil
blush with shame, but it's equally
true that you are yet very ignorant
of true conditions and have recent

Ultimate use Of money in the late

corrupt practice law and its strict
enforcement will change such I'M

If our citizenship is to live in
peace and happiness, our state to
grow and prosper. and there is a
hereafter for our politicians, con-
ditions must change in this state,
and this change must be quick and
material from political point Of
view.
We do not wish to discourage
such a laudable undertaking, but
