CONSTITUTION COMPLETED Race and Language Question Form the Paramount Issues. MR. TAFT'S ADVICE IS REGARDED Advocates of "Sufe and gane" Docu ment Opposed by Deleantes, Who Made Insistent Demands for Progressive Fratnres. SANTA FE. N. M., Nov. 21.-The consti tution for the state of New Mexico, framed by the convention which closed today, con tains 20.000 words, 130 sections grouped Into twenty-two articles. Probably no other commonwealth ever was confronted with the peculiar difficul ties that faced the constitutional conven tion when It assembled. Chief and para mount, .despite repeated denial, was the race and language question. The 135,000 people of New Mexico who are of Spanish-American descent demanded pro tection of their equality before the law, and retention of their ancient rights s.nd priv ileges. They were auspicious of the fed eral enabling' act which demands that arH the state officers and legislators must speak English. The convention also bore In mind the ad vice of President Taft to formulate a "safe and sane" constitution, a constitution un like that of Oklahoma. It, too, had to tike Into consideration the Insistent demands for progressive features, a demand out of which .the domocratio minority naturally made political capital. ; The various County debts, which the new state Is to, assume, the regulation of land donations of HJ.OuO.OOO the regulation of the liquor trafflo and kindred questions had to be dealt with. .. ew Feature Adopted. As a result a constitution following the older models was adopted with these salient new features: An elective corporation commission hav ing no Judicial powers, but having the right to regulate rates for transportation and transmission, to grant charters and to supervise corporations. An automatic ar rungement Immediately takes the decisions of the commission to the state supreme court, which must pass upon them with out delay. The Initiative was rejected, but a refer endum clause watt Included, which enables 25 per cent of the voters, upon petition, to suspend a law within ninety days of a legislative semlon and 10, per cent of the voters upon petition to submit a law passed by the last legislature to a popular vote at the next election, while a majority of the legislature, may submit to the people con stitutional amendments. Prohibition and local option were ex cluded, but the way was left open to the t next legisiatuie to deal with these ques tions. A stringent anll-pas section was adopted. Raises Boundary of Dispute. The constitution raises a boundary dis pute with Texas and Colorado; it provide for an elective Judiciary from top to bot tom and for elective state officers. It lim its the tax rate to 12 mills the first two years and 10 mills after that. It grants to women the rhjht to vote at school elections and makes them eligible to be school directors and county school superintend ents. The constitution also abolishes the fee system, at present the rule. It prohibits separate schools for Anglo-Saxons and Spanish-Americans and provides for the payment by the state of the railroad bond lndebtednesa of $1,000,000 through the sale of 1,000,000 acres of land granted by con gress. No distinction Is to be In the fran chise, In jury duty. In holding office other than that of state and legislature on ac count of Inability to speak Englltm.
