GOOD ROADS LEGISLATION.
Among the measures that must be
come law before Thursday of next
week is a substitute bill that should
embody the good roads legislation rec
oramended by the New Mexico Good
Roads Association which met in Santa
Fe last week. In the neighboring
state of Colorado, a similar measure,
but much more liberal in its pro
visions, is pending and its passage is
advocated by the Denver Republican.
'inc. arguments it advances in favor
of the bill are applicable to New Mex
ico even with much stronger force.
Says the Republican:
"In each branch of the legislature a
bill has been introduced providing for
the organization of a highway commis
sion composed of three members to
be appointed by the governor, the pur
pose of the bill being to promote the
construction of good roads through
out the state and to relieve the state
P-inper from ar oiuigauon or amy
v "O -
respecting the cn""!:.! t'M main- i
tenance of public highways of that
kind.
"In providing for a commission the
bill follows the example set in numer
ous other states, in all of which the
policy has given much satisfaction.
"The measure also makes an appro
priation of $300,000 for the biennial
term to be expended in road construc
tion under the supervision of the high'
way commission and in connection
with appropriations to be made by the
county commissioners of every county
desiring to take advantage of the state
appropriation. It is stipulated that
for every dollar of the state road fund
expended in a county, the commission
ers of that county must appropriate
two dollars. Thus if the appropria
tion provided for In this bill shall
be made and the county commission
ers take advantage of its provisions,
a total of $900,000 will be expended in
road construction during the next two
years1, of which the counties will pro
vide two-thirds and the state one-third.
"While at first glance, this may
seem a large amount to be expended
in two years, a moment's reflection
will show any one informed on the
subject that the counties expend now
on their main highways fully as much
every year as they would be called
upon to appropriate under the provis
ions of this bill. Tnus there would
be no increase in county taxes on ac
count of roads of the kind contem
plated.
"It should be observed that the mon
ey used in the construction of main
highways of the kind contemplated
would be expended under the direc
tion of the county commissioners of
the county in which the work might
be done, subject to the supervision
of the state highway commission. This
leaves matterg largely in the hands
of the county commissioners, who, in
connection with the state highway
commission, would select the roads
upon which both state and county
money would be expended. Further
more, the fact that the bill was in
dorsed by a convention of county com.
missioners recently held in this city
shows that it has already received the
approval of many officials of that
class.
"By all means this bill should be-
come a law, for Colorado stands in
great need of a system of good roads.
and under this measure both the state
as a whole and every county would be
benefited."
The Idea of Councilman Upton to
bring the Pullman Sleeping Car Com
pany on an equality in assessment
with the railroad companies is worthy
of some investigation. The railroads
of New Mexico are compelled to con
tribute very handsomely to the ex
chequer of the territory, its counties
and its municipalities, but the
wealthy Pullman Company escapes
with a small modicum of public con
tribution. Surely, its rates are high
enough, and its revenue so profitable,
that it should be compelled to bear
ft Just share of the tax burden of the
; commonwealth If it does not do so al
ready. With Kansas, Missouri and Colo
' radQ, marking every five miles of the
Santa Fe Trail with a suitable stone
monument. It Is quite fitting that the
terminus of that famous highway in
the Plaza at Santa Fe, should be
)NIONWILABay
' marked with a stone arch, as is pro
Tided by the bill passed by the Coun
cil yesterday and which merely enacts
the law of four years ago, but which,
owing to the absorption of the appro
priation for it by the Scenic Highway,
was Ineffective.
It Is time that he state and terrl
torial legislatures get out of the way
for they couldn't begin to hold the
popular Interest now that the base
l" season bat opened.

DISCRIMINATION AGAINST AMER
ICAN PRODUCTS.
"The importance which the depart
ments of agriculture and of commerce
and labor may play in ridding the
markets of Europe of prohibitions and
discriminations against the importa
tion of our products is fully under
stood, and it is hoped that the use
of the maximum and minimum feature
of our tariff law to be soon passed
will be effective to remove many of
those restrictions." From President
Taft's Inaugural Address.
The American market is the best
in the world, and naturally" enough
foreign nations are eager to sell their
products in the United States; but
while they desire to reap all the ad
vantages offered to them here; they
are often unwilling to reciprocate, and
do not hesifate to discriminate against
American exportations. Recently
the New Mexican called attention to
this unjust treatment of the United
S&tes. and insisted on the Ptlment
of maximum and. mllmiim rates in
the new tariff law. As this principle
Is recommended by President Taft,
and in view of its pressing necessity,
Congress should require no urging to
incorporate it in that law. Of course,
it is understood that ample discretion
will be placed in the hands of the
government to retaliate in every case
of unfair discrimination, that arises,
and this must be done in such a
prompt and effective manner as to
warn the wrong-doer and others that
"we know our rights and knowing
dare maintain them." Another infa
mous scheme has been resorted to by
some dishonest foreign manufactur
ers; and that is swearing to their in
voices far below their actual values,
thus procuring lower rates of duty.
As these perjuries are ' commmitted
abroad, the criminals are beyond the
jurisdiction of American criminal law;
but when their invoices arrive here
and when the perjuries are proven,
the goods imported should be confis
cated just as smuggled goods are. If
there is no law to enforce this way of
punishing fraud, then laws should be
enacted to enable the custom liouse
officials to enforce it. . As the United
States now faces a large deficiency of
revenue; every leakage must be
stopped and the most vigilant means
should be adopted rigidly to en
force the revenue laws, and thus se
cure the collection of every dollar
that is lawfully owing to the govern
ment. President Taft has already barred
simplified spelling from the White
House and this is merely a beginning
of what will be done to other Roose
veltian ideas and theories. Presi
dent Taft is using an automobile in
stead of horse and carriage, and an
axe in place of a big stick. The news
papermen have it that there is an un
wonted air of quiet and peace around
the White House, but that neverthe
less there is no lack of cordiality with
which they are greeted by the chief
executive. Different men, different
methods, but it does seem cruel that
after picking out your own successor
and hearing him promise to carry out
your ideas to have him inaugurate a
radically new course in the minor at
tributes of his high office.
Even Mrs. Taft is an iconoclast
for she is already making striking
changes in "White House etiquet. In
stead of secret service agents in or
dinary street clothes accompanying
the presidential family to church or
on its outings, the sleuths must wear
silk hats and frock coats. The negro
ushers at the White House are
dressed in blue livery and brass but'
tons and there is an outward air of
reserve and dignity about the estab
lishment that is unusual to Washing
ton ' rounders who rather liked the
free and open ways of the ex-president
and his family.
The action of the Oklahoma legis
lature in condemning Kansas prison
methods is doubly interesting to New
Mexico, because not so long ago the
territory imported from Kansas a
prison expert to run its penal insti
tution. He did run it for a few
months, that is, he ran it almost into
the ground. The investigating com
mittee of the Oklahoma legislature
declares that In the Kansas prison,
prisoners were "stretched and tor
tured and strangled with water," a
method, which the Kansas prison ex
pert also brought with him to New
Mexico. Alleges the committee fur
ther; ' "Lack of discipline and the
presence of political manipulation Is
everywhere apparent and the warden
did not have the. courage to stand up'
for what he kneAto be right." Well
this much is centain, that neither
New Mexico, nor oflhoma, will ever
go to Kansas again get any "ex
pert" to take care of twr convicts.
Ex-Governor L. Bradford Prince had
the best of the argument and Council
man John Y. Hewitt the best of the
sentiment, in the discussion of the
resolution in the Council yeitth
providing for the substitution of Rei
word "Confederates" for "Rebels" on
the Soldiers' Monument in the Plaza.
The bloody chasm is not only bridged,
but is closed to all practical intents
and purposes and the vietor is eager
to demonstrate to the vanquished his
magnanimity. Everything that re
minds of the bitterness of the strug
gle should be obliterated and only that
remembered which reminds of its
heroism. But if that necessitates that
the man with the chisel should travel
from place to place to mutilate the
monuments that were erected in the
first Hush of victory, or later to com
memorate the great battles and the
great commanders in which one side
.triumphed over the other, it were bet-
; ter to raze the monuments altogether.
A monument is erected of stone or
bronze for the very sake of recording
permanently the sentiments of those
who erected it; if it was intended to
change its inscriptions or its charac
ter with every change of public sen
timent, monuments in the future
should be built of paper-mache or rub
ber. One of the best acts of the legisla
tive assembly thus far, is the passage
of the indeterminate sentence and pa
role law which has gone to Governor
Curry for11 his signature and will
doublessly receive it, for he recom
mended (he law in his message to the
assembly. It is a decided step for
ward in the administration of justice
and is the basis of intelligent methods
of convict reform. It wili give the
man sentenced for a criminal offense,
if he is not utterly lost "to self-respect
and ennobling influences, a better
chance to become a useful citizen
than he possessed under the old
method of determinate sentence.
The man upon whom has been placed
the stigma of a penitentiary sentence
is so handicapped that it is a won
der that any convict who leaves the
penitentiary after having served his
term, ever makes an attempt to
leave the ways of the transgressor.
Under the indeterminate sentence
, provisions he is given additional in
ducements to leave his evil ways and
he learns that good behavior will
bring its own reward both in shorten
ing his sentence and in fitting him to
cope with the handicap that has been
forced upon him by his. mistake or his
crime.
The fact that the signature to some
of the petitions for local option are
typewritten and that In other cases
they appear to be written by the same
hand, cannot blind the nress or the
people, to the fact that there is ar)
overwhelming public demand for local
option legislation.
Not only is the demand overwhelm
ing, but it is insistent. It will not
grow less by being denied its wish
by the Thirty-eighth legislative as
sembly, 'nor can it be gotten rid of by
trying to ignore or forget it. The
temperance movement has come to
stay just as surely as the abolition
movement held its ground up to the
muzzle of the howitzers. Moral is
sues differ in this from political is
sues, in that they persist and increase
in strength until they win out. It is
a strange fact too, that the progress
of the local option bills in the Legis
lative Assembly is not blocked by
those directly interested in the liquor
traffic. The average saloon-keeper is
fairer minded on this matter than is
the professional politician. There Is
a wide gulf between local option aifil
prohibiten, for the former merely
gives the people of each community
the right to decide for themselves by
popular poll whether they want to tol
erate the liquor traffic or not, and if
they do want to tolerate it upon what
conditions. Where is the politician
who dare in the long run deny the
pepole the right to determine a ques
tion of that kind for themselves?
It is quite certain that the steering
committee appointed by President
Spiess in the Council will not be
bunco steerers. Every member of it
has given evidence of watchfulness
and keen interest in the public wel
fare, such as will permit no act to
slip through unless it has been care
fully scrutinized as to its intent and
its effect, and whether there be a
joker hidden somewhere between its
lines. It is a committee that inspires
confidence.
Councilman Hewitt has introduced
a little bill, so small that it might be
called a billet-doux, but whose ef
fect he claims will be much more
stringent and more effective than the
famous anti-gambling act of two
years ago. . If it Is, it should become
law by all means, for the act of two
years ago, which by-the-way was in
troduced by President .Spiess, haS
worked wonders for the moral clean
up of New Mexico.
While Ihe legislators are endeavor
ing to make a record in cleaning the
moral atmosphere of New Mexico,
they should repeal the nefarious law
that places a legal sanction upon
bawdy houses, and In Its place enact
a statute penalizing the white slave
traffic. .
The first steerable airship is to be
sent . across the Atlantic from Spain
to the West' Indies, and in New York,
an aggregation of millionaires has al
ready organized the first airship trust.
It takes the most vivid imagination to
'keep pace with modern progress.
HOME ENDORSEMENT.
Hundreds of Santa Fe Citizens Can
Tell You All About It.
IIome eildor
sement, the public ex
pression of Santa. Fe people, should
be evidence beyond dispute for every
Santa Fe reader. Surely the experi
ence of friends and neighbors, cheer-
fully given by them, will carry more
weight than the utterances of strang
ers residing in faraway places. Read
tho following:
Miss Adela Arias, 106 Griffin street,
Santa Fe, N. CM., says: "The use of
Doan's Kidney Pills in my case
brought relief from a disorded con
dition of my kidneys that had troubled
me for some time. I suffered from a
dull, heavy ache in the small of my
back, the attacks always being aggra
vated by colds and in addition to this,
I was often distressed by headaches
and dizzy spells. My attention was
first called to Doan's Kidney Pills
about three years ago and 1 procured
a box at Stripling and Burrows' drug
store. Their use proved that the
claims made for them were genuine.
Off and on since whenever occasion
has required, I have used Doan's Kid
ney Pills and the quick and positive
relief always obtained warrants my
high opinion of them."

Prof. H. A. Howell, of Havana, Cuba,
Recommends Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy.
"As long ago as I can remember
my mother was a faithful user and
friend of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy, hut never in my life have I real
ized its true value until now," writes
Prof. H. A. Howell, of Howell's Amer
ican School, Havana, Cuba. "On the
night of February 3rd our baby was
taken sick with a very severe cold, the
next day was worse and the follow
ing night his condition was desperate.
He could not lie down and it was nec
essary to have him in the arms every
moment Even then his breathing
was difficult. I did not think he
would live until morning. At last I
thought of my mother's remedy,
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which
we gave, and it afforded prompt re
lief, and now, three days later, he has
fully recovered. Under the circum
stances I would not hesitate a mo
ment in saying that Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, and that only, saved
the life of our dear little boy." For
