The New Mexican is tho oldest newspaper in New Mexico. It la sent to
very postofflce In the Territory, and has a large and growing circulation
among ..he intelligent and progressive people of the Southwest
A LIVE QUESTION IN COLORADO.
In the neighboring stale, the policy;-,
of forest, preservation and con
servation of natural resources, is stir
ring' up much more of a fuss than it
does in New Mexico. It is but an
other instance to prove that the peo
ple of this Territory are much quicker
to understand and to respond to a
great movement forward than the
more selfish interests waning con
stantly for control In 'the Centennial
state, for it is nothing but. greed and
selfishness that underlie the Colorado
light on the forestry service and the
conservation of natural resources.
Says the Pueblo Chieftain, one of Col
orado's leading newspapers, which
views the great policies from the
same standpoint as do the great ma
jority of the people of Xew Mexico:
"The opponents of the national for
estry policy are careful to point out
that they are not opposed to forest
conservation.
"They are only opposed to the only
plan by which forest conservation
tan be secured.
"They desire, so they claim, that
the forests and the mines and the wa
ter powers shall be protected from
spoliation and from monopoly but
they object to the only means by
which those evils can be prevented.
"They wish, so they say, to protect
the sources of the jstreams so that
the farmer of the valleys may be se
cured in his water supply but they
oppose the only practical plan for giv
ing that protection.
"They denounce corporation con
trol of the state government and of
the organizations of both political par
ties and they advocate taking away
from the federal government the care
of the public lands and turning , that
charge over to the same state au
thorities whom they denounce for sub
serviency to the corporations and to
the monopolists.
"The Democratic party with its con
tradictory principles of popular rule
and weak government finds itself in
strange complications these day-. It
is the bold advocate of the people's
rights, and at the same time it de
nies sufficient ' powers to the only
champion that is strong enough to
defend the people's right and the peo
ple's possessions from the forces of
grab and graft that are conspiring to
usurp those rights and to appropriate
those possessions.
"The Chieftain hopes that Forester
Pinchot and the federal authorities in
Washington will not draw their con
clusions as to public sentiment in
Colorado either from Senator Am
nions, or from any of the Denver
newspapers.
"The professional politicians, the
corporation machine that controls
both political parties, and the coterie
of state's rights Democrats that are
so prominent in Colorado affairs at
this particular time, are arrayed
against the conservation policy and
against the forestry service, and it is
natural that they should be. But the
clamor of the few should not be mis
taken for the thoughts of the many.
"In the Arkansas valley especially
the people generally recognize that
the welfare of the agricultural and
fruit growing districts and of the
towns and cities of the lowlands is
dependent upon the preservation of
the forests of the higher mountain
slopes, and the persons in this region
jvho have the ability to think for
""themselves and who understand the
selfish and political intrigues that lie
back of this anti-forestry agitation,
are heartily disgusted with the mis
representation, the buncombe and the
folly of the anti-forestry campaign.
"An effort is being made to secure
the attendance of Mr. Pinchot at a
meeting in Pueblo. The Chieftain
trusts that this effort may be suc
cessful, and that the people of the
Arkansas valley will make an effort
to prove that so far as this part of
the state Is concerned public senti
ment la not represented by the cor
poration Democratic politicians of
Denver, or by the Denver daily news
, papers."
ZINC AND LEAD SCHEDULES.
.Most Interested, of course, is New
' Mexico In the proposed wool, hide,
lumber and sugar schedules of the
new tariff, but the retention of the
tariff at Its Dresent figure and the
placing of a duty on zinc ore which
",:ia on the free list at present, are also
very important to the industries of
this Territory. New Mexico has been
and la a lead and zinc producer, and
. "With adequate protection will rapidly
increase Its output of the two ores.
It is a peculiarity of New Mexico lead
and alnc, deposits that while they are

market quotations for either those
metals drop beneath the average
level, production becomes unprofit
able and must cease until the aver
age level is again reached or sur
passed. For this reason, a cut in the
tariff in lead would hamper and stunt
lead mining in New Mexico until
methods could be devised and in
stalled to lower the cost of production
materially, while the placing of a
tariff on zinc would result in many
mines being worked in Xew Mexico
for their zinc ore which in the past
were deemed valuable only for their
copper or silver.
A similar condition exists in Mis
souri. Says the Globe Democrat:
"The issue is this: Shall zinc, ore
be protected, or continue on the free
list where it was left by accident?
The Republican policy, as squarely
stated in the platforms of the party,
calls for protection in the mainten
ance of the American rate of wages
and a fair profit in American indus
tries. Let in the products of the
world free, say the free trade Demo
crats, beyond the demand for govern
ment revenue. Let American wages
rind American industries, (hey insist.,
shift for themselves in open competi
tion with the world.
"Evidence- submitted to Congrcp
shows that the pmelters in Imyinit in
Mexico any variety of ore on which
this cotmtry lays a duty habitually
add the duty so that it is paid at the
Mexican mines or by Mexican export
ers. There is also testimony that the
smelters co-operate with each other
to limit American production and thus
b"ing about artificial conditions to
promote smelting interests. The
question of trusts as well as of pro
tection is involved. Missourians es
pecially should closely observe the ac
tion of congressmen from this state
when the zinc ore schedule is consid
ered. Through crooked districting
the majority of congressmen from
this state are Democrats and free
traders, and it was so also two years
ago, though the Republicans gained
the electoral vote of Missouri both in
1904 and 1908. Watch the free trade
misrepresentatives during the present
extra' session and settle with them in
November, 1910."
DRY FARMING STATION.
The establishment of a dry farm
ing experimental station in Quay
county for which the legislature has
appropriated $5,000, ought to repay
the territoy manifold directly and in
directly. If dry farming is to be made
a success for all time in eastern New
Mexico there must be a general adop
tion of scientific methods, which the
New Mexican regrets to learn, has
not been the case as yet, for reports
have it that the great majority of
new settlers failed duing the winter
to plow and harrow as Is necessary
under the dry farming systems. In
consequence, very little moisture has
been stored in the ground and the
farmers must depend upon the uncer
tain rainfall of the next few months
to bring their crops to maturity. Not
only have the great number of farm
ers failed to do the . work, which
would assure satisfactory crops in
quantity and quality, but they have
imperiled the chances of raising any
crops at all should there be drouth
during the critical growing months.
If the experimental farm will impress
the homcseekers with the fact that
farming with an average rainfall of
only fourten to eighten inches a year
is a different matter from farming
where the rainfall amounts to 40 to 50
inches a year, it will have justified
the $5,000 appropriation and will be
of untold benefit to settlers as well as
the commonwealth.
The fact that out of 467 bills in
troduced in the legislature, 147 be
came law, and Governor Curry found
it necessary to veto only three and
only one of these on serious grounds,
is a favorable comment upon the
legislators. Were It not for the, fact
that about half a dozen very im
portant and salutary measures failed
in the Legislative Council and that
entirely for Insufficient reasons, the
Thirty-eighth Legislative Assembly
would have reached high water mark
in New Mexico history as a patriotic,
unselfish and wise legislative body,
of which there could be no just crit
icism by the people or by Congress.
The result of the Sharpe-Cooper
trial at Nashville, which has attracted
national attention, is what had been
expected, considering the nature of
the case, the nature of the evidence,
the provocation to the crime and the
nature of the jury of whom four could
not read or write and six had never
read a newspaper.
THEIR WORK WELL DONE.
Thus far the comments of the
press throughout New Mexico on the
work of the Thirty-eighth Legislative
Assembly, are very fair and mostly
commendatory. The Albuquerque
Citizen, of which William F. Brogan,
the chief clerk of the Council, is the
managing editor, is In about as good
a condition to judge therefore as any
newspaper, and it says editorially:
"The Thirty-eighth Legislative As
sembly which adjourned last night
after a week of strenuous labor, will
go down in history as one of the most
effective ever assembled in the ter
ritory. While the first part of the
session dragged due to the uncer
tainty concerning the action Congress
would take in the statehood matter
inactivity quickly gave way to ac
tivity when the statehood bill met an
inglorious death In the Senate com
mittee. From that time until the clos-
;tng,Miours last night the legislature
lhas been hard at work and at prob
ably, no legislative-', 'assembly 'in the
territory has go much for good been
accomplished in such a short space
of time.
; "That the various committees . of
the territory were ably represented is
established by the manner in which
individual representatives in the
Council and House looked after the
interests of their districts. The ter
ritory was also particularly fortunate
in having capable leaders to direct the
work. Governor Curry's suggestions
contained in his message to the legis
lature showed a clear understanding
of what was needed and the lis of
laws enacted indicates that his sug
gestions were given full consideration.
"When the legislators began work
in earnest there was no delay, no
quibbling and but little friction be
tween the two houses. The record
shows that the legislature was mind
ful of its duty to the citizens of New
Mexico and that every effort was
made to deal honestly and fairly with
the questions confronting the law
makers. ' "Many good laws were enacted and
many more would have been placed
on the statute books but for the lack
of time. Several bad bills were killed
quickly and decisively. Economy, con
sistent with good government, was
kept ever to the front. It is a record
of which the legislators individually
and the Republican party of the ter
ritory can be proud.
"It compares favorably with the
work of the legislature of any state
in the Union and is another indica
tion that the citizens of New Mex
ico are comeptent to govern them
selves and that . the privileges of so
doing should not be withheld any
longer because of the bull-headedness
of an Indiana senator and unsustained
charges of corruption."
One of Santa Fe's regrets is the
failure of the legislative house to pass
the Catron bill directing the superin
tendent of the penitentiary to fur
nish fifty . convicts for work on the
Scenic Highway and when that is
completed, as it ought to be, then to
put them to work on a road from
Santa Fe to the Rito de los Frijoles, a
project very much favored by the
New Mexico Archaeological Society.
Still, it may be just as easy to per
suade the new territorial good roads
commission which has been given am
ple power in the premises, as it was to
have the Council, to give orders to
the territorial penitentiary authori
ties to furnish convicts for that pur
pose. N
Of the one hundred and twenty New
Mexico exchanges that come to the
editorial table of the Daily New Mex
ican, only one has been noticed to
oppose local option and that one says
it would be a good thing if the people
of the Territory were fit and prepared
for it. A people that is fit and pre
pared to choose its own lawmakers,
ought to be fit and prepared to say
whether it will license saloons or no
in its midst. It couldn't make a
greater mistake than it occasionally
does in selecting the men to make its
laws.
The board of county commissioners
has done, well to stay within the $30,
000 figure in adopting new plans for
the reconstruction of the court house.
Saving the tounty $15,000 by placing
the court house upon its old site and
using part of the walls still standing,
the county seat is spared a court
house location fight that would have
divided the community into two or
more hostile camps. The plans
adopted, provide for a modern, com
modious, substantial structure of
pleasing exterior.
Congress may give New Mexico and
Arizona a three cents a mile passen
ger rate on the railroads. It wouldn't
save the people much and wouldn't
help the railroads, but it would give
Congress an opportunity to show that
it can be . as unjust to the railroads
as some of the states have been.
What New Mexico "wants is not so
much a three cents a mile passenger
law as the authority to regulate rail
roads for itself andthat authority
would come with statehood.
A Georgia court has ruled that to
call a man a, liar is sufficient provo
cation 'for assault and battery and
prevents the battered complainant
from obtaining redress in the courts.
And why not? There are a few indi
viduals in each community who are
far too free in throwing around them
promiscuously such epithets as liar,
thief, grafter, and there should be
ample license for the libeled Individ
ual to. obtain immediate .redress,
