New Election Law Ideas Prompt Civic Reform in New Mexico
A letter from Pecos Valley observer Gil Fay argues for a strict election reform in New Mexico. Proposals include in-person voter registration with poll tax payment, full Australian ballot casting, penalties for vote influence, campaign spending disclosure under oath, and Illinois style minority representation. The piece frames reforms as essential to pure ballots and good citizenship amid party control.

Big Shops at Clovis for Santa Fe Railroad
The Santa Fe plans to expand and relocate large railroad shops to Clovis replacing Amarillo. It aims to build a line from Clovis to Weatherford Texas to connect Gulf and Pacific routes and to end divisions on the Eastern Railway of New Mexico. Clovis shops would be among the largest west of the Mississippi and would absorb work from the Texas line and Eastern Railway in one plant.
