JOYCE-PMII- _T

CO

Washington. Aug. 23. The ^Presi- dent has taken cognizance of

the

charges made by L. S. Glavis, chief of

the

division of the general ^{land of-}

fice, in the northwest with headquart- ers at Seattle against his superiors.

Glavis charges that

the

higher ^off-

icials of the interior department have been unnecessarily concerned In the exploitation of certain claims to ^val- uable coal lands in Alaska and

that

they acted iniirely independent of the general officers of the department.

Thse

^officials are much incensed over

the

^charges but

take the

^position

that

they are preparing

a

report for the President and

that their

^lips are sealed against ^any outside tiiscu?sion of the subject.

The Incident is generally regarded as a phase of the conflict between

the

interior department and

the

forestry bureau service. It Is felt that Glavis is cooperating with

the

forestry bureau and this adds no little to

the

resent- ment.

Would Divorce Politics and Census Washington, Aug. 25. President Taft nade it clear

that

he does not intend that census work and ^poli- tics shall be mixed. Acting Secretary McHarg, of

the

Department of Com-

merce ami

Ibor

^{received a}

^letter

front the President's

secretary

stat- ing ⁴bat

the

census supervisors who hold political positions such as ^secre-

taryships or chairmanships of county committees must ^{give up}

either

their

poli-tksal or government position.

In a number of states, particularly in

the

^South, the Republican ^politic- ians have been recommended as ^su- pervisors of the census. Complaint has been uiade

that the

authority to ^ap- point enumerators makes it possible for them to build up powerful ^politi- cal machines.

It is likely

that

the effect of the

Presidents

^{letter will be}

the

wholesal"

resignations of persons holding local Republican or Democratic party ^posi- tions.

INJURED COWBOY IN A

SERIOUS CONDITION.

A cowboy named Davidson, aged about 22 years, was brought from ^Hag-v-rma-

Wall Street heard unofficially this morning that Harriman was resting conrfortaibly at his home in Ardeu. It is ⁱhe evident determination ^{of his} family to protect him from anything

We have not included in these estimates

the

amount appropriated 'for crmory rentals in 1907. n.nmely $2023.46. an item which does not appear in ihe ¹⁹⁰⁹ Budget. We find, however, in

that

of ¹⁹⁰⁹ the sum of ^$41,033.30 cash appropriations was made to complete the armory buildings _in Albu-

querque,

las

^{Vegas. Las} Crnces. Roswell, Sauta Fe and Silver City.

We have no particular quarrel with thisOast item from a local point of view. Our readers will undoubtedly remember

the

manner in which this expendivure was brought about. The legislature of 1903 authorized ^(bondb

to

the

amount of ^$15,000. for

the

erection of armories In Las Vegas and ^Al- buquerque. In lf;07 the other towns ^In

the

Territory which had skeleton militia organizations believed they were as much entitled to armories as Albuquerque and Las Vegas, and secured the issue of ^$40,000. of 'bonds for the building of armories iif Santa Fe. Silver City, Las Cruces and Roswell.

Great efforts

wee

made to complete the armory in Albuquerque In time for the use of the meet'ngs of the National Irrigation Congress last year, and ^It was found

that

the sum appropriated to that city was not enough to build

a building of sufficient size for those meetings, and for subsequent ^con- gresses, conventions and similar gatherings, however adequate a smaller building might be for the use of the National Guard. So the citizens of

were appealed .to and subscribed $13,081.30, which sum was put into Hie edifice. ^At the same time the citizens of Roswell and other towns subscribed various amounts for their armory buildings. It was seen that .iiese ^so-call- armories would fce very useful, ornamental and convenient and there was no idea that the subscrittem should be reimbursed.

However, at the last legislature the Albuquerqueans _{succeeded very} early

in the session ^In securing the passage of a ^ibill to reimbur&e their citizens for

the

$13,083,311 they had subscribed. This made the citizens of the other towns take notice, and .before the session ended another bill was passed, cranting $7500. to the Armory Board of Las Vegas, and $45ou. each to the Hoards of Santa Fe.

and Roswell. It was a case of

The net result, however, was that

a sum. we believe, some five times as large as ever before, which served to materially

^to the grand total of $759.5:3.!t8 comprised in the Budget of 1909. The 1907 National Guard appropriations were $11,431.85.
