A partisan chronicle attacks H. O. Bursum W A Hawkins and John M Sully as Rome of New Mexico politics. It accuses Mechem of pressuring officials and manipulating tax figures to favor the China Town interests, contrasts tax schemes with federal rules, and denounces political bosses while urging vigilance for voters. It cites Mine tax disputes and the China Copter Company and laments slow state growth amid corporate influence.
A charged critique catalogs systemic failures in government tied to mining interests. It accuses government by corporations of suppression of independent press, special legislation, wasteful offices, and voter intimidation while denouncing the erosion of constitutional rule and wage labor oppression. The piece condemns the dry farmer’s position and the Land Office, framing defeats of popular rule by gerrymandering.
