AMENDMENT NO. II DOES
NOT VALIDATE SPECIAL
COUNTY ROAD LEVIES
Editor, Albuquerque Evening Herald,
Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Editor, Albuquerque Evening Herald
Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Dear Sir:-
In your editorial of September 18th
on the bond issue amendment, you
stated that Amendment No. II, il
ratified would make constitutional all
OF the debentures authorized under the
various special tax laws, meaning the
levies in the counties for special roads
as set forth in a separate article in
the same issue of your paper.
The above statement is clearly er-
roneous, as plainly appears from the
as part of your editorial.
The Amendment does not make
constitutional any law whatever ex-
cept laws enacted by the last Legis-
lature which would not be constitu-
tional without submitting them to a
vote of the electors of the state.
The special county levy laws ref
erred to do not have to be submitted
to the electors of the state. There
was no law passed by the Fifth Leg
islature authorizing the issue of deb
entures which would in order to make
it constitutional, have to be submitted
to the electors of the state. There
fore, they are not affected or made
constitutional by the Amendment.
If any of those special levy acts are
unconstitutional for any reason, they
will not be ratified or made constitu-
tional or affected in any manner by
the ratification of Aemndment No. IL.
Your statement in that editorial that
Amendment No IL, in fact, validates
a whole flock of bond issues, the pro-
ceeds of which are for local use, but
for which the credit of the state is
pledged" is likewise erroneous. The
Amendment does not validate any
bond issue except the one issue not
exceeding two million dollars, and the
credit of the state is not pledged by
any of the special laws for local levies.
Whether Amendment No. | is ratified
or defeated, the validity of those laws
for local special levies will be determ-
ined upon their own merits, and the
decision as to those local special levies
which have been attacked in the courts,
and those which it is understood the
Association intends to so
attack, will not be affected in any
manner by the vote on Amendment
No. IL.
know you want to be fair in your
statements to the public, and | hope
you will give to this letter the the
same publicity you gave to the state
ments above referred to.

ADVERTISING IN THE COUNTRY
o WEEKLY

Advertising in the country week
1y is the most valuable advertising
in the world. Expert advertisers
say it is not only the most valuable
but the most scientific advertising
in the world Advertising in the
magazines has to be general, for the
reason that the average magazine
that you receive today was set in
type several weeks ago, and the adj
vertising copy was probably prepar-
ed several weeks before that. This
means that advertisers in the maya
zines have to anticipate conditions
several weeks in advance of the
time the copy is prepared.
This is not so with advertising in
the country weekly, for the country
weekly has the advantage oyer the
magazine in that the weekly circu-
lates in a comparatively small terri
tory and the name of the merchant
or the business man who is selling
the goods can be placed in the adj
vertisement. This is impossible in
magazine advertising, which covers
sometimes the whole nation.
The weekly newspaper also is
considered the best advertising me-
dunn in the world by expert adver-
tisers for the reason that it has a
, more intimate association with the
family than a magazine or a daily
newspaper.
No local merchant can afford not
to advertise in weekly newspapers of
the better class. 1t is sad COM
mentary upon small town business
men that they don't see the adj
vantage to them of carrying an ad-
vertisement in the small town paper
every single week. Such an ad-
vertisement is the cheapest sales
man that the merchant can employ.
The money spent in advertising
in the better class Of weekly news
papers is an investment and not an
expense; and it is the best-paying
investment that the merchant can
make; but not one in a thousand
publishers of the weekly papers is
compensated anywhere near what
he is worth to the merchants and to
the community in which he lives
and to whose interests he dedicates
his life. Every editor of a weekly
newspaper is constantly working in
behalf of every merchant in his
} community, whether that merchant
patronizes the local paper or not;
but every merchant of every COM
munity, unfortunately, does not
have the business common sense and
the business foresight to see that il
is to his own personal advantage to
help support the country editor by
dvertising-telling the people in
the newspaper what he has. how II
can be used and what it costs.
