PATRONS, ATTENTION
v Compluulsory School Law.
The Roy school board has been
given warning that the compul
sory school law will be enforced
this year, and in order that you
may know what that N law is 1
have asked the editor of ."The,
Spanish American" to publish
it word for word as it appears
on the statute books. I hope
you will read it carefully and try
to comply with it without having
to be coerced.
The State has provided you a
free school, the board has secur
ed quarters and employed a
corps of competent teachers, and
- your truck driver calls at your
very door for your children.
There is but one hing more that
you can ask for, and that is free
text books. Personally, I think
ihe state should furnish them,
but it doesn't. There remains
but one thing to be done and
that is to comply with the law
as our legislators have deemed
best for our future welfare.
You want your child to have an
equal chance in life with every
ether child, but if the other child
is educated and yours is not,
yours will be at a disadvantage
all through life. You may not
be able to leave your child much
of this world's goods, but you
can give him án education there
by giving him an equal chance
with the other fellow. Read the
law below and resolve to carry
out its provisions. '
Respectfully submitted,
Cameron Bazzill, .
Supt. of School.

VVith Republican waste run
ning up the cost of government
in New Mexico to over 300 per
cent more than it was under the
last Democratic governor, the
necessity for . an audit of the
state's affairs becomes apparent.
Such an audit, complete in all
phases of state government, is
pledged by Democratic candi
dates . And the ticket the Dem
ocrats submit this year is one
which ' may be relied upon to
keep its pldgesl
To explain in detail all of the
state's expenditures would con
fuse the Republicans too much
for the taxpayers to hope for
an accounting as long as the Re
publicans hold control. How
ever, it is time such an account
ing "Was made . New Mexico, of
course, wonders why, in three
terms, the cost of government
should increase from four mil
lions to fifteen million dollars.
During the period in which
the expense of . governent has
risen so much, the state's popu
lation has increased less than
ten per cent. ,
By their records in Santa Fe
the Democrats have shown that
sincere interest in saving money
for th citizens of the state.
The Republicans have' consis
tently promised economy, yet
they are spending millions more
than did the Democrats. Adv.
