Anent Ticket Scalping. -
Roswell, N. M.. Sept. 29, 1906.
To the City Council and people of
Roswell:
I read with much interest the com
munication from Mr. D. L. Myers, traf
flc manager of the Pecos Valley Sys
tem in recent issues of the local pa
pers, and which while elegant adver
tising for me contains a few exagger
ations not to say mis-statements that
I am sure your sense of fair play will
allow me to debate briefly.
In the first place, Mr. Meyers says
that he didn't make any bluff about
cancelling special rates to the valley
and while it was no threat, he leaves
the impression still open that if I am
not legislated out of business, they
will be cancelled anyhow. That threat
is bluff and nothing else. The Santa
Fe is too vitally interested in build
ing up this country to cancel those
rates, tho after it gets the settlers
here all favors cease, and it bumps
their heads for all they have to have
at its hands. It has no favors for the
people that really live here,' and Its
movements to bounce me off the earth
is solely to cut off the relief there is
for 'home-folks from their extortionate
charges for eastern and northern pas
sage. Mr. Meyers' little clause about the
terms of sale of the special ticket has
nothing in it simply because a con
tract obtained by coercion has no le
gal or moral standing, and has been
so held by all the courts and the com
mon sense of the land from the be
ginning. Dr. Kinsinger fully covered
this point at the last attempt to pass
the scalping ordinance.
Mr. Meyers says he didn't say that
ticket scalping has been abolished ev
erywhere, which qualification is time
ly, as it flourishes in every town and
hamlet in the country, undisturbed
save where . the local government is
under railroad control. In the larger
cities, the scalpers are chiefly sup
plied with tickets by general traf
fic agents, who want to skin other
roads out of trade that would normally
come to them.
Mr. Meyers' list of becauses is 'ex
tensive but fail of weight,
Because:
The scalper - spends in proportion,
teq dollars for the traffic manager's
one in advertising the Valley.
He stands for a business that is le
gitimate in every respect and is never
contended against except by the' rail
roads who rob the people indiscrimi
nately and want to shut off all the re
lief the public has.
Roswell" greatly benefits by my op
erations, for I save them thousands of
dollars a year to pay the robber
freight rates that must be paid Mr.
Meyers and his road. Too bad, I can't
scalp in that direction too, most peo
ple thinfe
The scalper needs Roswell, makes
his living here, pays taxes here and
attends to his own business, and guar
antees every ticket he sells, and Ros
well needs him because it requires
that sort of citizens to pay the freight
demanded by the Santa Fe.
The Council guarantees nothing ex
cept a fair deal, and in refusing to
legislate me out of business no more
stands sponsor for me than it does
for the Santa Fe Railroad.
While the Santa Fe is spending mon
ey in East advertisng Pecos Val
ley, we Regulars are Paying half the
expenses in unjust freight rates, and
the new . people will pay the other
half after the Santa Fe gets them out
here to stay.
The needs of Roswell and the rail
road are mutual but up-to-date the rail
road has cheerfully robbed Roswell,
and it is a good bit of cheek to now
ask any favors at the hands of those
it has perenially despoiled.
The railroad may turn down a scalp
ed ticket, because it has the might,
not the right, but for every such case
I return' dollar for dollar, every cent
paid for it.
The square deal mentioned as ready
for patrons at the offices of the Santa
Fe consist in paying the full schedule
rate, 4 cents a mile to Texico and 3
cents beyond, which is aM that isn't
screwed 'down, and would be more if
they could get it. If you don't believe
this ask them for a rate, either passenger-
or freight.
Now in conclusion, I want to insist
that my business is legitimate, that
I am the real friend of the people here
and hat until the Santa Fe shows
some disposition to quit robbing us,
both in ; mileage and " freight rates,
they have no right in reason to ask
for any favors at the hands of the
servants of those people whatever.
So believing, I rest this matter with
the people and the fair minded mem
bers of the city council. '"'
Yours truly,
- : - ROBERT G. INGERSOLL,
. - x - Ticket Scalper.
"The essence of a contract for trans
portatlon ! upon a railway is the pay
ment of the price charged therefor.
The question of person is but an Inci
dent and - is Immaterial. The .: ticket
is but the evidence of a lawfulcon
tractand it is the evidence of a vest-i
ed right, as In case of -other contracts.
The sale,- transfer or assignment of
the ficketand contract -Is not immoral
from any standpoint. - It" should not
be made so by law. The companies
making such contracts and issuing
tickets are not Injured, because in no
event are they required to do more
than perform the contract for which
they have, received full compensation.
(Extract from the report of the Com
mittee on Common Carriers, 29th,

passage a bill declaring all tickets

"A wise Investment is the most
direct road to wealth."
A fortune-Making era in Roswell N.
Mexico,
Greater Roswell is surpassing in
splendor and Marvelous growth all
prophecies of the past.
PRESENT INVESTORS IN ROS
WELL REAL ESTATE WILL amass
good profits.
Roswell, the county seat of Chaves
county is growing with marvelous rap
idity. Evidence of this is found in
the figures of the city's building in
1905.
, INVESTORS FROM ALL OVER
THE COUNTRY are being attracted
to Roswell and the Pecos Valley. Real
estate agents have been very busy
with the Southwest lands for two
years, but haven't even begun yet.
The prosperity and growth of other
cities are limited by local conditions
and special fields But the prosper
ity and growth of Roswell are limited
only by the growth and. possibilities
of the Great Pecos Valley itself. Ros
well's position is unique in that the
greatness of the Valley contributes to
the greatness of Roswell. Thus it is
that the constant influx of homeseek
ers a residential class of both high
quality and financial standing, -. is
throwing Roswell Real Estate into
the lime light, with Roswell and its
suburbs drawing heavily from the
wealthiest classes of nearly every
state in the Union. There is little
wonder that the competition for de
sirable residence sites is sending the
price of Roswell Real Estate skyward
Thus it is that the next ten years will
be "a fortune-making era in Roswell
and Roswell suburban real estate. He
who takes John Jacob Astor's advice
to "BUY LAND NEAR THE GREAT
CITIES" , and purchases lots in Ros
well will not only make an absolute
ly "safe investment but one constant
ly increasing in value.
You know the first question a bank
er asks a borrower is, "DO YOU OWN
REAL ESTATE?'-' This is because
real estate is the SOLID "ROCK OF
AGES" in the financial world. You
cannot afford to take 3 per cent or 4
per cent oh your money, by allowing
it to lie thus practically idle in banks
when others are receiving 20 per
cent.
With this city undergoing a
MIGHTY TRANSFORMATION and
with the next ten years likely to make
more progress than it has in its entire
past, and with the tendency of the
whole population of our surrounding
country seeking good investments,
you can figure the enormous profits
in these lots. , .
fe You must remember too, that mon
ey invested in Roswell real estate has
back of it the push and energy of this
whole people in the artesian water
belt, for the, improvement of its seat
of government' of affairs of the coun
try are to .be on a scale of magnifi
cence and grandeur not generally
known, but which will excite the ad
miration and wonder of all who visit
Roswell. :-
SUM UP IN ONE STUPENDOUS
TOTAL COLOSSAL EXPENDITURE

then think what effect wilt be prod uc

that you will have some 'of this value
increasing real estate,-that you your
self may be benefitted financially by
this marvelous development.

SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY NOW
by buying a lot or several lots.
Andrew Carnegie said,' "Few large
Fortunes can now be made in any
part of the world except from one
cause the rise in value of real estate
In respect to the price of land of
fered in this section the advantages
offered the investor of moderate means
are manifold. For this reason the
sale of lots is not confined to men
who are prepared to build homes at
once. Many YOUNG MEN will invest
their savings in Maywood Addition,
holding them as an investment. Also
MANY WOMEN and YOUNG LADIES
nowadays are seeking investanents
for their own, and unless history re
pudiates all her past performances,
such investments will ultimately mean
handsome profits to the holders of
these titles.
It is generally conceded that no
city in New Mexico and all the South
west has brighter prospects for the
future than the city of Roswell.
The purchase of real estate as a
general proposition, is one of the
safest, if not the safest, forms of in
vestment for a man of moderate means
who cannot afford to take chances of
losing his' all. How much more in
viting this field of investment appears
when there is an opportunity to pur
chase good residence lots on such fa
vorable terms.
Why Investors Should Buy Lota in
Maywood Addition:
Because it is in Roswell, New Mex
ico. Roswell ia the gateway to the
Great Pecos Valley. Every train and
everybody stops at Roswell. Roswell
is already a city of about 6,500 peo
ple. It is on the big Santa Fe Rail
road. The railroad division is here,
and probably will be increased.
Maywood is high, healthy and beau
tiful, commanding a splendid panor
amic view of the city.
"A Wise Investment is the Most Di
rect Road to Wealth."
7 Maywood Addition is about three
Mocks west of the Military Academy
and its buildings. It is in the best re
sidence portion of the city, right in
the corporation of the city.
The lots will be sold to the highest
bidder for cash. Also on the install
ment; plan, of $10. down when bid off
and $10.00 per month with 8 per cent'
interest. 5 per cent off will be allow
ed for cash. ,
Every man and woman attending
this Bale willjhave -a chance to draw
a prize worth from' $.75 to $25.00.
There are a great number of prizes to
be drawn. Yon don't have to buy a
lot to get a prize, but you must be on
the ground as when your number is
called and you are not there, the
next number will be called. So be
there. If you should .get any prize
it will pay you for, your time. It
