PREFACE - 1913 BLUE BOOK “The following italicized text was taken from the 1913 NM Blue Book, the next edition after New Mexico became a state in 1912.” In publishing this first Legislative Manual, or so-called Blue Book, of the State of New Mexico, the Secretary of State gives it to the world with much pleasure, not because of any thought of its superiority in construction or contents over those compiled and published by his predecessors in office, under our territorial government, but principally because statehood, so long sought, so recently attained and of which we are so reasonably proud, has made it the first Blue Book to record the inauguration and condition of our new state government in its various departments. In its compilation, recourse has been freely had to former editions and many of their excellent features have been retained. Thus the fruitful labors of former Secretaries are being perpetuated to the public benefit in this issue. Liberal reference has also been made to the works of our distinguished historians, Hon. L. Bradford Prince, Hon. Benjamin M. Read and Hon R. E. Twitchell in the preparation of the historical features of this volume. Recognition should also be noted in this connection of the liberal aid given by the various heads of departments in the state government, some of the articles being from the pens of the chiefs of the departments themselves. In the compilation, official data and documents have been used exclusively wherever available, hence the book may be considered reasonably accurate and reliable. The book is published in the earnest hope that it may be at least as useful as former issues of the same have been, and that it may aid not only in more fully advising the people of New Mexico of the material condition of their state and its government, but also in giving publicity to the state as a whole beyond its borders. Such publicity, it is believed, will redound to the material benefit of New Mexico, and thus accomplish the work whereunto it is respectfully sent. x ANTONIO LUCERO Secretary of State (First Statehood Secretary of State)
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We wish to thank all the individual historians, particularly State Historian Rick Hendricks and Dr. Dan Chavéz, historical organizations, federal and state agency personnel, county clerk staff, university staff, private individuals, newspapers and photographers that made this Centennial Blue Book 1912-2012 so full of valuable information and photographs. Without them the book could not have been as comprehensive in both its historical and current information. NEW MEXICO LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHS The beautiful photographs of New Mexico scenes were made available to us by the New Mexico Magazine and for that we are most appreciative. These photographs had been submitted for their 2011 Photography Contest. The photographs we have selected were taken by the following individuals whom we congratulate on their fine, creative work.
