CORRESPONDENT SAYS HARDING
ADMINISTRATION IS UNFAIR TO F..
SERVICE MEN ON APPOINTMENTS

AT Peoria, ILL.,, as reported by the
commander of the American Legion
Post in that city, a republican ward
| politician" has been appointed acting
postmaster over veteran who enter
ed the service at the age of 5S who
was the son of u civil war veteran. a
brother of a civil war soldier and the
, father of an only son who entered the
world war the same time he did. This

report, this republican politician was
given preference also over man who
for twenty-five years was chief clerk
of the railway mail service.
senator Fletcher has cited a case in
his own state where an honorably dis

the only qualified eligible in recent
examination. was not reappointed. but
another examination called so that a
republican might get the job.
Another case reported in the news

Gently come to that section from
northern states and in this particular
case at Tallahassee, Fla there is II
question as to whether the apointee
has lived there Ions enough to qualify.
The long fight to take the post Of
flee department out of politics and to
fill the post offices of the county with
the highest class of men possible un-
der the competitive examination sys-
tenn will of course have been in vain
If appointments are to be made in the
manner described,
The very worst feature of this
method is the discrimination against
eX-servce men. This can be put a
stop to by the passage of Senator
Fletcher's bill making it mandatory
for the Preident and Postmaster Gen
eral Hays to give preference to war
veterans, and their wives or widows,
if the veterans themselves are not 9TH

The bill has been read twice and re-

FOR THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN

THE resolutions adopted by the recent democratic convention
which tentatively nominated Mr.. Hanna for the senate, were de-
voted mainly to a discussion Of state matters which IRE NOT at
issue IN the senatorial election. A United States senator is not re
sponsibic for the government Of the state in which he lives, and If he
attends. t~olhiSdniies as a useful representative of his state he has
migIfy'httle1thnc for anything but senatorial business The effort
of the democratic platform writers 10 hook up the senatorial cam
paign with a lot Of state issues, real and alleged, was a frank confes.
sion Of the weakness Of both their cause and the candidate they are
believed 20 have nominated.
Two matters in the democratic platform. however. merit atten-
ion. One is the indirect reference to proposed constitutional amend
ment No. !, proposing to give TO the women of New Mexico equal
rights with men. The democratic resolutions crtitise the amendment
and voters following the suggestion in that particular resolution
would vote against the amendment. The republican convention, on
the other hand, frankly and energeueany endorsed this amendment
and urged its approval by the people.
The other matter Is the democratic platform assertion that the
republican party's pledge Of 1920 TO enact a joint guardianship law,
had been violated. Had the last legislature failed TO pass this law.
as promised. the criticism would have been just. because the matter
is an important recognition Of the legal. economic and social rights
OF women II 30 happens, however, that in chapter 80 of the laws of
1921, the legislature did enact a joint guardianship law which law
yegs of al political faiths agree is an adequate, just statute and which
women who urgeu the law and who have studied the enactment, dc
clare is wholly satisfactory. II grows steadily mere difficult to fake
political platforms and issues.

action. The whole matter Of the custody Of these funds and the
right Of the state TO have them covered into the state treasury,
has been probed and investigated anu reviewed over anu over again
by federal and state officers, taxpayers association, reformers, par.
tisan critics, conscientious citizens who believed something was
wrong; plain nuts and others. In each and every case the cOnclu
sion has been the same; that a deposit in escrow is that and moth.
ing else; that the money belongs neither TO the land commissioner,
the state, nor the depositor, until the transaction so secured is CON-
pleted. In theory the land commissioner should secure currency
ad. lock it up in a box. In practice it Is safer to make a public rec
ord Of the amount OF the escrow deposit and place it in a bank for
safe keeping.
AL the false charges made by Magee against the banks of New
Mexico, to the effect that they hold public funds without interest,
are based on this escrow fund account. Magee knows this. So
does everyone else in any way familiar with the operation Of the
land office. Magee is willing, in his mania for scandal, TO under
take to deceive the large number of people who have had no oppor.
tunity to become familiar with the detail of the land department
and who can easily be trcked by twisting the truth.
The amendment itself, No. I, should be defeated by an over
whelming vote. 1t is destructive of independent business admins
tration. It will tend to throw the land department into politics in
a way that has never even threatened IT, 1t will treble the operat-
ing expense and break down the efficiency of a highly efficient
administrative system.

Vote Against Amendment No. Z. h Means Political Land Management

- 4 CARL MA0EE. the agile editor and financial genius of
II the Albuquerque Mornins Journal, who appears to harbor
one Of his well known non malicious antagonists against
the livestock growers Of New Mexico. Is conducting a
propaganda ia favor of the adoption Of amendment No. 7 which
would abolish the elective office Of state land commissioner and
set up . commission of three, to be appointed by the governor, 10

amendment is that he is for the rights Of the people at all times and
trusts then. implicitly TO decide public questions and candidates.
wisely; therefore the election of q state land commissioner should be
taken out Of their hands,
The real reason for the Prophets advocacy Of this amendment
seems 10 be that 1t is opposed by ninety nine per cent Of the live
stock growers Of the state. who sec in 1t endless confusion, and
losses both to the state treasury and the state land users.
Even the most virulent critics Of the state land administra-
ton, those men who have been least fair in their criticisms, like
Herbert Hagsman and Judge Rodey, are not in favor Of this
amendment Mr.. Hagerman signed a report to the Kiwanis club
Of Roswell opposing its adoption, and Judge Rodey has declared
against 1t In one Of his popular letters to the press. This leaves Mr..
Magee alone in his advocacy Of the removal from the people Of
their present right to elect the man who administers the lands
Msgee reasons, with his customary lucidity, that because the
people have never failed to reelect a land commissioner as long as
he remained eligible under the constitution, there must be some
thing crooked about the administration Of the office. He doesn't
know what It 10; but Is sure it Is there. His representatives have
had wide open access TO the department at all times. They have
been furnished all the information they have ever sought. On at
least one occasion. when the Journal had falsified facts concerning
the department. the Prophet got first hand information that he
didn want.
Mr.. Magee is not content to make a straightforward argument
for the amendment, which is the right Of everyone, but descends to
half truths and deliberate fslsehood in an effort to manufacture a
case against the land office. He has made the statement repeatedly
that the land commissioner has state funds in banks which are not
drawing interest, and that his authority for this statement is the

PRESIDENTIAL EXPENSES

THE democratic minority in congress seems reluctant to undertake
any activity other than criticism of the Harding administration
. They are finding IL hard going.
The latest partisan cutlery has been about the alleged expense Of
the disarmament conference. One critic has shouted that II will
cost the government one million dollars. The state department
estimate is 100000 and this has passed the scrutiny of the budget
director; a quite severe test
Another democratic critic points with horror TO the item of $40,
900 for banquets and dinners for the several hundred delegates and
attaches who win be the guests of the United States
This latter gentleman has been called upon to compare this din
nr cost item with the food bills on board the George Washington

was born in Lexington, Dec. 4, 1920
and died Sunday evening at 7:15
o'clock, from bronchial pneumonia.
The remains were carried to Sardis
last Monday morning and on the af-

Cured, the funeral service having
been held in the home in Lexington,
conducted by Rev. j T. Stricklin.
Little Dan was the third boy and
third child born oMr. and Mrs. Han
ma and his short space of life was
long enough to give him firm grasp
on the hearts Of his parents and lit
tie brothers. His death is a sad blow,
indeed, but thank God the sorrowing
parents have two left to make life
bright to them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hanna are under obi
cations Of the deepest gratitude to
friends and neighbors because Of the
kindness shown them during the ILL
ness incident to the death of little
Dan and ask US to give expression to
their gratitude.
