PROPOSAL TO PERMIT WOMEN TO
HOLD PUBLIC OFFICE RATIFIED;
UPTO GOVERNOR FOR SIGNATURE
Resolution Provides That They Shall Be Ex-
empt From Poll Taxes and Jury Duty; Sem
ate Passes Bill Appropriating $4,000 For
Flood Protection on Upper Rio Grande.
BY CLINTON p. ANDERSON.

Santa Fe, Feb. 9.--An amend
ment to the constitution of the
state of New Mexico permitting
women to hold public office but re-
leasing them from payment of poll
taxes or from jury duty will un-
doubtedly be submitted to the peo-
pie of the state at the special cleo
ton this fall. House joint resold-
ton number Is, making these pro-
visions, was unanimously passed
by the senate this afternoon. When
it has been signed by the Officers
of both houses it will be sent to
Governor Mechem, whose action
will undoubtedly be favora BILE. Rat
ification by the citizens of the state
next fall will embody the provis,
ions into the state constitution.
Senate Passes Six Bills.
The senate held a busy session
and passed six bills, four of which
were the measures for the relief
of the stockmen; house bills 46
relative to the rental of state lands;
AZ, relative to the state land pur-
chase contract, and As, concerning
the forfeiture of leases, passed with
unanimous votes, while 40, pro-
Nidirg for tha taxing of state lands
under contract. was opposed only
by Senator's Lea and Grantham.
Senator Sellers, democratic floor
leader, announced that he was vot-
ing for the bills because they were
asked by Governor Mechem.
A few minutes later, republican
senators introduced resolution
inviting him to become a member
of the republican party. The SEN
ator parried by declaring he al
ways voted with She republicans
when they were right, at which
Lieutenant Governor Duckworth
issued orders to the clerk to always
record Sellers vote with the repub-
licans, since they were always
right"
Dividing Old Albuquerque.
The senate also passed senate
kill 81, appropriating $4,000 for
flood protection on the upper Rio
Grande and also house bill 40, to
prevent a precinct division in Old
Albuquerque. The latter bill. how
ever. failed to carry with the
emergency clause and it is possible

mlttee adding that submarines and

forces.
The committee report. to which
Senator King. democrat, Utah,
plans to file a minority report to-
morrow, expressed a desire that an
agreement for limitation of naval
armament might be reached among
the nations, but said until some
such arrangement was made the
United States, should continue its
building program.
''In view OF the importance of
sea power to the United States,

that without it. we would be at the

tory teach us that we cannot af-
ford to depend for the maintenance
of our rights and the defense of
the lives and commerce of our
citizens upon the mercy, generosity
or good will of other powers with
rival or conflicting interests and
ambitions"
at is the opinion of this commit
ttee," the report continued, that
the United States should have un-
der it's control a sufficient force to
protect and preserve both its ma
terial possessions, the policies it
has established, the lives and rights
of it's citizens, and the principles
upon which its government is
founded.
For these reasons we are of the
opinion that there should be no
suspension of the present building
program of the navy. which, it is
said is at the most only designed
to place us on footing Of equality
with any other power upon the
sea-"

New York, Feb. 9,-Existing

continue, declared Ebert II, Gary,
chairman of the board, to newspa-

Several Independent companies
he understood, had made efforts to
sell their products below current
quotations, but he asserted that
the United states Steel corporation
has no intention at this time of
changing it's selling price. The
subject of reducing wage rates
among it's 265,000 employees has
not even been up for consideration,
he added.

Building conditions OF the cOun-
try at large were discussed and it
was brought to the notice of the
contractors that large per cent
of the public expected as large a
decrease in the cost of finished
buildings as there has been in re-
duction of lumber. This corre-
spending decrease cannot be, al
though the lumber in the average
cottage does not exceed over 25
per cent of the total cost, and the
contractor has therefore been ac-
cused of not giving the public the
benefit of the difference, it was
stated.
1t was agreed among members
of the association it was up to the
contractors of Albuquerque and of
the entireg southwest to encourage
the building industry. Particularly
so as the public has been told from
time to time within the last few
months of the reduced prices of
building material. The cost of liv-
ing has also been reduced and
therefore the contractors cons d.
cred it advisable to save the pros
pective builder from any further
advance in the cost of building due
to mechanical labor.
1--WE feel we are justified in do
ing So" they state, for the reason
that prices have been reduced in a
great number of places from 81 to
50 a day on demand of the re-
spective labor organizations them
selves"
The association passed the fol-
lowing resolution to place their de-
cision on record:
