ADMINISTRATION STATE
LANDS NOW EXCELLENT
LIVESTOCK INTERESTS SAY

To change the administrat ton of
states public lands from a commits
sioner to a board of control would
result in divided authority, and this
might bring about conditions not
desirable, in the opinion of the exc
cutive COMMITTEES of the New Mexico
c. tile and Horse Growers Assoeia.
ton. This opinion is expressed in a
resolution that was adopted during
the conferences held here early this
week. The resolution follows;
Whereas, the administration Of
our state lands under a commission
er of public lands, elected by pop
ular vote, has resulted in competent,
efficient and economical mana cement
to the tremendous benefit of the
state as a whole and to the educa-
tional institutions of the state in par
ticular, and
Whereas, we believe a commits =
sicn of several persons would result
in division of authority, as well as
to destroy efficiency and economy,
''Now, therefore, be it resolved
that we commend the present form
Of administration of the land office
and urge the state legislature not to
pass any law changing the control
OF the state lands or land office from
enc elected commissioner

AN EFFECTIVE WARNING

The Socialists asking for the par
ucn of Eugene V. Debs. have adopt
ed a resolution declaring that I'VE
refuse TO believe that President Will
sol who has pardoned, murderous,
bank robbers burglars, German
spies, dope dealers, bank wreckers
and other choice criminals, speaks
for the American people when he
continues to keep in prison a poll
teal opponent"
Now We hold no brief for Mr.. Will
son We have no intention OF defen-
ding his policies in pardoning the
types OF criminals the socialists have
enumerated. In fact, we have been
OF the opinion that the President
has been entirely too free not only
in the exercise of his own pardoning
power but too free in the use of
his influence with state executives
in the exercise OF their pardoning
power. We are inclined to place
great reliance upon the verdict of
jury of American citizens who have
heard the testimony and arrived at
conclusion after due deliberation.
When twelve men agree unanimous
ly upon a verdict the chances are
that the verdict is right, although
Of course there have been rare in
stances of error.
And it is our confidence in the ju-
dment of a jury that leads us TO
take exception TO the demand of the
Socialists for the release of Mr..
Debs. He was convicted not because
be was a political opponent Of Mr..
Wilson but because he violated one
Of the criminal laws of the United
States. His punishment is a warn
ing to others.
