SENATORIAL ELEC-
TION TO Be CALLED

GOV. MECHEM BELIEVES
OFFICE SHOULD BE FILL
ED BY VOTE OF THE PED
PIE AND WILL ACT AO-
CORDINGLY

A writ ordering an election on Sept.
20. 1921, TO choose a Senator OF the
United States, to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation OF A. B.
Fall. viii issue, Gov. Merritt C. Me
chem aid Wednesday. This is the
date oi the election 10 ratify or re-
ject the constitutional amendments
1t has been the general impress
sion that Gov. Mcchcm would order
that the election Of the senator be
held at the same time with the con-
stitutional amendment election, but
shares the view, the election has been
positive statement that the election
would be held on this date.
Bursum Now Holding
On March II, Gov. Mechem ap-
point Holm O. Bursum, OF Socorro.
to fill the vacancy. Bursum does
not care TO hold the office without
an expression of the people, and for
this reason. and because Gov. Mechem
this is the first time he has made the
called for an early day. If he so de-
sired. Gov. MeChem might let the
election go over until the general
election in November, 1922.
It looks TO be a certainty that
Bursum will be the Republican nom
inee in the special election He was
almost the unanimous choice OF the
Republican organization for the ap-
pointment by the governor. He was
endorsed BY the county organizations
of p of the % counties and by more
than $50 members OF the state cen
trail committee.
In announcing that he wonld cali
thc election on Sept 20 Gov. Mechem
made the following statement for The
state Record:
Mechem's Attitude Clear
My attitude in this regard is that
this vacancy should be filled by the
vote OF the people at the earliest
possible date, and my only reason for
not calling an election Immediately
upon the resignation OF Senator Fall
WAS on account OF the cost OF a sps-
cal election, which was estimated to
be about $4,000 But as that ex-
pcnse will have 10 be incurred for
the election on the constitutional am
endments, i feel justified in waiting
until that election to elect the sue-
cessor to Senator Fall; and in calling
a special election, / want to say that
believe the people OF the state of
New Mexico should choose their sem
ator, and the senator should not hold
his office indefinitely by appointment
OF the governor. don't believe the
success OF the constitutional amend
nonts will be jeopardiaed in suvI
manner / am heartily in favor OF
every one OF them and earnestly hope
that the people OF the state viii vote
ntelllgently, with full knowledge of
tie situation on all these amendments
and that it will be by a big vote. and
that hey will not be adopted IS is
50 often the case, by a slender maj
oly with a light vote polied.

these amendments would be Jeopardiz-

NEW MEXICO EDUCATORS
OPPOSE CONSTITUTIONAL
BUDGET AMEND MENI

In their recent conference at San
IA Re, the city and county superin-
tendents went on record as opposing
constitutional amendments providing
for a state budget and for la tations
on tax leyies. Their reasons for OPP
posing these amendments are based
apun the fear that schools and msti-
tution5 will be deprived Of revenues
necessary for their proper support.
This fear is not justified, in the op.
inion Of the Taxpayers Association
Of New Mexico, according to their
Tax Review. If the budget amend
ment proposed is studied carefully, il
will be found that it provides for a
modified executive budget DESIGNED to
place responsibility upon the cxecu-
tive; yet with sufficient power rescry-
ed to the legislature to initiate ap-
propriation bills after the general bin
has been disposed OF. Those who
fear abuse of the executive powc-
could also consider such abuse is pos
sible under our present constitutional
provisions which give the Governor
power to veto whatever items he de-
sires to eliminate from the general
appropriation act
The opposition to the tax limita-
ton amendment will it is believed dis
appear after close consideration II is
coming to be generally accented that
adequate and cqualized assessment
and full collection Of taxes can be
brought about only through limita-
tons on the tax rate. STATUTORY Inn
i'at'ons vary according 20 the mood
Of the legislature Hence. the ncces-
sity OF constitutional limitations. In
the amendment proposed. these lin
is are placed so high as 90 remove
all cause for fear as 10 revenues even
II such revenues are TO be derived
only from tangible property. II Is
not conceivable that valuations VIII
tall below present asses sfuerts to any
material extent. I'm only two coun-
ties is the taE rate AZ present above
the limit fhod for schools I'm the
proposed amendment. and I'm these
two It can be shown that sufficient
revenues can be made available even
with the LIZ per cent. school tax
rate fixed by the proposed amend
inent. Even II this were not the case
there arc other revenues that can
be made available TO take care Of
situations in counties that
are up TO the limit and still lack funds
for schools. The object of the am
endment it to fix limit TO the tax
that may be imposed upon real es-
tate and other tangible property. Such
a limit will serve to bring about a
full and equitable assessment and a
one hundred per cent collection. Ii
VIII also serve to eventually force
intangible property under the tax bur
den 1t is hoped that the citizens
Of New Mexico will consider these
two amendments, carefully and from
every angle. Such consideration i,
IS believed will lead to the conclu
sion that these measures are not des-
-ructive of. or detrimental 70 any de-
'irable governmental activity, but, on
he contrary, broadly constructive and
conducive not only TO economical. but
ilso to efficient administration.

c1H-.r .ruDi by the atarcuy generals
etiiae us amending The celebrated
Ha'ewan act insofar as the new act
IeiUl,s tac issuance oi school var
rants When funds arc not available.
} ne opimon was written BY A 4
Edwards, assistant attorney general
and addressed to John Jocrns. state
educational auditor. The text of the
opinion follows:
ms Office is in receipt OF you~
letter OF April 23th, asking whether
chapter 10 oi the Laws OF 1921. being
an act 10 amend section 4S5S Of the
i9lo eodiiication as amended by sec
tlon II OF chapter los OF the laws cf
l9i/ IN effect repeals the Bateman act
(sections 1880, 1915 codification) a.
applied TO school warrants.
Insofar as this act permits the
issuance Of school warrants when
funds are not available, it is an am
endment OF the Bateman act. The
act provides that warrants shall be
paid IN consecutive order when funds
are thereafter available and that no
other warrants shall be paid out OF
such available fund.-
Under section 1882. the current year
OF school districts begins on Sent
ember first and ends on August 81
OF the following year. The Bateman
act requires that all moneys collect
ed Tor one year shall be disbursed
only Tor the payment of the obligtions
OF that year.
1t IS a rule Of statutory construc-
ton that where the wording of two
acts can be reconciled so that the
iatteT act does not conflict with the
ioFmer' the two should thus be con-
strued together. Furthermore. If fhe
legislature had intended that the pro-
visions OF the Baternan act sbouId
not apply to the payment Of school
warrants It would doubtless have 60
provided in the act.
We believe. therefore. that wa
rants issued and STAMPED no funds'
are TO be paid from any funds ac-
rruIng TO the school fund for the cur
-ent yea- n which warrants are is
sued- II at the end OF the school wear.
here are not sufficient funds to nav

rom moneys coming into the fund
