Sena has made a forma' demand on tho stato auditor for t warrant covering his back salary The stato auditor prefers to know just whero ho is at before drawing these warrants, and it Is not Impro liable that tho question of what was tho last legislativa day of the session will be thrashed out in tho courts In this connection, it Is interest ing to consider tho views of lion, John Y. Hewitt, our repicsentallva in tho lower house, who advances ilia opinion that the omcruoncv clause, as formulated and used on n number of the bills passed by the legislature, is a weak protection and that such acts can bo nullified upan test in tho courts In ibis regard Mr. Hewitt says: "TIiobo has been considerable discussion of late as to tho validity of sumo of the hills passed at ill present IcgUluturo, nnd especially tnoso pausen without, printlne, or without having been read on differ out days, as required by Section li Article 1. of the constitution, which provides: No liill cxoopl. hills In provide for (lie public pence, health ami safety, and the codification or re vision n.

BEING CONSIDERED Many Property Owners Bo- liovo Time is l'ropuious to Organize Town Under Pro Provisions - visions Provisions of tho Villago Act WILL EQUITABLY SOLVE PERPLEXING PROBLEMS To incorporate Carrizozo under tho villago act is tho subject now being considerad by a number of our residents. In view of tho stand taken by tho Outlook for clviu im improvements - provements improvements generally, it Is probab probably - ly probably unnecessary for us to say that wo bcliovo tho town should bo in incorporated - corporated incorporated It is tho wiso thing to do it is tho sano manner in which to solvo tho problem of making a town out of our commun community. - ity. community. Wo want and we need good sidewalks and tho town lighted. We need these things and we oifght to have thorn We have passed tho experimental stago as a commun community - ity community and havo really arrived at the dignity of a mighty good town firmly established as a businoss center and as a community of home loving people. More and moro nro visitors and possible Investors ar arriving - riving arriving in our midst for a view of tiie landscape, and wo belie vo wo havo let them ramblo down the middle of the street long enough It. would look better and there would be a desired degree of dig dignity - nity dignity if wo were abln to furnish theic it sidewalk, even II It Is not ol ce meiit. ami alight at night won't do any particular harm. The Outlook is not in (avnr of a town organization which will bo In anv way extravagant. We uru not able at this time to do big things, and we do not auticipatf lint any board of Imíteos elected under the proposed incorporation net would be inclined that way. It is well known that a neighborhood with a common purpose can necompolish much for themselves with a very little actual outlay of money. Tills is tho object In view in (Ids matter. We hope to havo Iho town Im Improved - proved Improved by tho installation of somo serviceable but Inexpenslvo side sidewalks, - walks, sidewalks, keep up the streets to their piesetit condition, as to some, and vastly Imprnvod as to others; lo keop the rubbish out of our city limits, nnd generally to look after the welfare of tho community as a whole, and have the community as a whole bear the slight burden of this good work Tho Outlook hopes Carrizozo will incorporate and that it will do so without delay.

LOOK OUT FOR FINE AND SIXTY LUNG DAYS IN JAIL To bettor safeguard the public health and to mnko Carrizozo the "spotless town," tho indiscrimi nate dumping of traih within tho conduce of tho town is going to bo stopped Complaints liavo been Indued in larco numbers by in any of our citizens nnd tho officers of the law Imvo decided that now is the time to take action, L, .Tho Outlook believes tho tin couth condition of our town, in several snots, is tho result of care lessnesti in a largo degrco. Again, we believe if we had some one on whom as a cltizonery, wo could deiicnd to regularly haul Ilia trnsh which is continually accumulating to an established garbage lot there would bo very little cause for complaint. For tho sake of our general health and our civic ptlde these things must be taken care of, and tho best time in the world to "start somo thing," looking to this end is right now. It is inconceivable Hint any one living in Carrizozo is opposed In having a clean town well-kept lots, streets and alleys. In the past the Clvie League huí kept watchful eye on tho town ami Imvo had cluuu-up days anil this organ organization - ization organization Inn done hcorte work for the betterment of thr'.se conditions here However, it is uudcistood this bund of faithful women have decided to turn tliis work over to tho cuutity and district ofliccrs; and finding that tho statuo law expocts them to If it) k after those matters, the odi odien - en odien rs arc in tliU issu" of this paper calling the attention of tho public to the provisions of the net which prohibits the deposit of any, filth, litter, refuse, carcass or other do hilarious matter along any public road or highway or near any in habited building. The penelty for so doing is also mentioned a line of not moro than $0 00 and im imprisonment - prisonment imprisonment in tho county jail for not moro than sixty days, or both such fine and imprisonment, nc cording to how tho court feels In the matter, should it over heroine necessary for tho court to enforce tlifa law. Until Carrizozo takes its rightful place in tho class of incorporated towns and such things are by the town government provided for, it seems to us soma one should ion stltuto himself the official "garbage man" and mako regular trips over town for tho purpose of collecting and hauling off the refuso mutter he to be paid a nominal sum for his work by tho people whom he serves. And tno garbage lot, or (lumping ground, should bo cstab lislieil in somo place wnero It can cannot - not cannot possible becomo a nulsauco to any ono. In endeavoring tn tako care of just muli prubloms as this argues eloquently for tho town incorpora -Hon now being discussed by many uf our citlions. With a town gov government - ernment government all such matters will! be taken caro of promptly and equit equitably. - ably. equitably. WATSON COMPLIMENTED In casting up tho work cut out fur them, the now state tax cum cum-mission - mission cum-mission pays a deserved compli compliment - ment compliment to Ur T. W. Watson, our county treasutor, wiien it says: In other words, $400,000,000 worth pf propory must' bo on tho lax rolls this year. Thero is that

passed adopting tho compilation of Judge Meehem and others may bo bo considered. ' If, Mien, nono of theso protond- cd enactments has boon for tho purposes named, nnd if any of them have foiled to meet tho requirements of tho commotion in tho courso of their passago through tho legista ture, all that havo so failed aro a nullitv and tho courts will so do claro them whonevcr tho question of their validity is presonted for ad indication, which It probably will bo; nor could any emergency clauso so frcoly and indiscriminately ap plied in my opinion euro tho fat al effeot ORGANIZE SOCIAL CLUB Last Monday evening a number of young men met at tho home of Mr. nnd Mrs. II. 1), Hamilton for tho purposo of organizing a social dun.
