OLD SURVEY BLAMED FOR LOSS

Constitutional Convention of Embryon
v io State Willing to Drop Fight For
i Disputed Territory if EI Paso Count
t f U I Given In ExchangeArgument an
Old One With Increased Bitterness
Besides squelching the Initiative and
adopting the referendum In such II i
manner that It will not be objection
able even to Its enemies the New flex
leo constitutional convention has 51
far succeeded only In stirring up the
people of Texas over the boundary
question and debating a lot of other
matters that may or may not go Into
the constitution
Tho boundary matter Is the biggest
thing yet disposed of by the conven
lion It Is a matter which New Mex
leo cannot settle and which the consti
tutlon cannot settle but the New Mex
icans are going to stand pat and make
the fight
So far as the records show the con
gress of the United States settled at
one time upon the one hundred and
third meridian as the boundary be
tween Texas and New Mexico and the
records further show that the Texas
legislature ofllclally confirmed this and
that the United States paid the state
of Texas 10000000 to relinquish all
claim of any territory west of the
one hundred and third meridian At
that time Texas claimed most of New
Mexico and a considerable part of Colo
rado territory that had been ceded to
Texas by Mexico when Texas won her
Independence and established herself
ns n republic

Survey Called Wrong
The present trouble arose over the
Clark purvey which placed the meri
dian whore the present boundary line
between New Mexico and Texas Is
shown on nil the maps This was pop
ularly recognized as the boundary but
It was never olllclnlly so declared by
congress and therefore according to
the New Mexicans It Is not legal I All
the official evidence there Is ns to the
boundary they declare is that It is
fixed at the one hundred and third
meridian
In attempting to draw the line for
this meridian Clark they contend
started In the wrong place and owing
to n defective knowledge of conditions
of the atmosphere and their effect upon
the magnetic needle he gradually
worked to the west and In doing so
kept cutting territory from New Mex
ico and adding It to Texas He started
B
wrong in the first pltfce paving est
mated his time from Washington In
stead of Greenwich Ho began nbou
half a mile too far over Into Now Mex
ico and he had worked about three
miles too far by the time he quit the
survey At first when the boundary issue was
brought to light the New Mexican
suggested n compromise by allowing
Texas to retain the 000000 acres or
land in the disputed zone If Texa
would relinquish El Paso county to <
New Mexico But recently the New
Mexicans thought they ought to havi
compensation for the taxes and license
fees which Texas has been collecting
from the people In the disputed strip
So the proposition has now been
brought forward that Texas surrender
the territory In dispute and relinquish
El Paso county In payment of Indem
nity for the wrongful use and appll
cation of moneys collected from lane I
belonging to New Mexico
Think El Paso Is Willing
The New Mexicans cite the threat ol
El Pasos representative In the state
legislature to cut loose from the rest ol
Texas If better treatment was not
given the western end of the state
and declare that the proposed trade
ought to bo satisfactory to both the
people of El Paso and the entire state
The Interests of EI Pasos people gore
In fact more closely allied with those
of New Mexico than with Texas Inas
much as El Paso Is 700 miles from the
state capital and at least COO miles
from any city of Importance In Texas
while it Is not that distance across the
entire territory of New Mexico and
only about 300 miles to Santa Fe
New Mexicans would be glad to ac
quire El Paso county because of its
riches The assessed valuations in the
county are over 33000000 about half
as much as the territory of New Mex
ico Is worth El Paso Is Democratic
and the countys inclusion In the new
state might make it of that complexion
politically

For twellt fie years the genera

It happened this way said run

me my mother thought that perhaps
I wouldnt like the name she gave me
and so they decided to leave It to uu
until I got oIU enough to choose one
for myself

Always Merely Tifft
WeB It wont along and I found
that I was not exactly endowed as
other persons The boys at school
wanted to know what my name was
and I told them Tlfft If they wanted
to know anything about my first name
1 told them Tifft That was all there
was to It and so what do you suppose
they called mo You guessed right
the first time Tifft Just that and
nothing more
And so his childhood passed
Once in awhile some overInsistent
companion wanted to know just why
It was that there was no first name
and after awhile Mr Tuft began an
swering by Vhyslcal prowess But as
a rule there were few queries Such
things I spread
And then it came to the time when
he would have to vote lIe and his
father who WitS one of the original
members of the shook firm went to
the family counsel and asked him
what about It The lawyer looked up
everything that had I happened in that
line since the common law was writ
ten and discovered that the only case
of a one named mnn was a ragpicker
In Boston
BostonThat
That person seemed to be able to
struggle along without much troubl
rind without anything like pollee inter
forenco and so Mr Tuft thought he
would risk It IIe lives In Brooklyn
and he found that in his townas It
then was and in Now York there
were only four or five Tints and all
jf their were cousins and he didnt
think they would do anything dlsn
recable about It
Votes That Way Too
IVotes I
The first time Tifft went to vote the
lispcctors of election wanted to know
that about It He told them that it
vas just Tlfft and there wasnt any
use in arguUig It got by
Pretty soon Tlfft got far enough
long in the world to start q bank ac

rifft has two bank accounts both of
