his financial standing. OF course it could
not be expected that one man would put
in his property at it's full value while all
of his neighbors are so poor on return
day, but if the assessors would assess
each mans property at its actual worth
the tax for any one individual would be
no more than at present, unless We ex-

several better and make their returns at
a figure far below the ordinary deprecia-
tion.
From public standpoint, it would
place our territory in much better f.
nancial position before capitalist seeking
investment. One of the first questions
asked is, "what is the rate of taxationS"
The taxable property of the territory ls
now about forty-one and one half mill
lions, upon which the rate or taxation is
from 1 e to ~ per cent in the different
localities. If however, true values were
given, the total value of the territory
would be three or four times that sum,
while to realize the same amount for the
different purposes it would only require
tax of Il or a of the present levy.
What n recommendation it would be to
the foreign investor to say the total levy
for all purposes in New Mexico was less
than q of per cent.
At any rate, all should make their re-
turns in the same proportion and the
tax-dodgers who annually perjurs him
self and cheats the public, getting off by
paying about one quarter of what he
oue hit to pay in proportion to his neigh
bors, should be brought to book

PRICES of American wool have always
been better under low than under a
high tariff. And naturally 30 because our
wool must be mixed with the finer or the
scarcer foreign woods before it reaches
its commercial destiny. Now, how has
the Wilson tariff affected American wool?
The wool clip of 1894, according to the
American Wool and Cotton Reporter, will
be about O2,O00,OOO pounds. In 1898 it
was 3O3, 15l ,O55 pounds. How did wool

A TIMELY SUGGESTION.

Delegate Joseph and also the agri-
cultural department have the thanks of
the New MEXICAN for samples of field
and garden seeds. The department has
kindly taken notice of the New MEXICAN
enieavor to induce our Spanish-Ameri-
can farmers to improve their corn crop,
crop of such vital importance to all
residents of the territory, and as result
we are in receipt of several packages of
a variety of corn which we believe must
eventually become immensely popular
with the native farmers. The most de-
sirable, both for its earliness, its large
white grain and its great quantity of
fodder, is believed to be the champion
white pearl variety" 1t is described as
being a very heavy and productive pure
white dent corn, maturing in 100 days.
The stalks are strong and root deeply and
the ears grow low upon them. Ears six
teen rowed, cobs small, kernels deep and
large and it is recommended for inter
mediate and southern ATTITUDES. Inquiry
developes the gratifying fact that certain
Santa Fe county farmers have expert
mented with this corn during the past
two years and have found it to possess
all the good points claimed for it. New
Mexico farmers are advised to try it, and
dealers in seed supplies, in the interest of
New Mexico agriculture, are earnestly
solicited to secure the seed and place it
on the market.

Assessors Fees.

Another instance of the stupidity of
some of our legislators is to be found in
the law regulating the assessors commits
sion. This law ought to be corrected at
once. As it now stands it gives the asses
sor 2 per cent on the valuation of the
property, instead of on the taxes collect
ed, as intended. At the next assessment
there will probably be property valua-
ton in Chaves county of close to one
half million, which, as the law now reads,
would give the assessor about 100000
for his work this year.-Roswell Register.

grax Valuations.

One of the most foolish customs that
has grown up in the territory and is now
universal, is the differentiation of prop
erty in making tax returns. Land that
can not be bought for $40 an acre is put
in at $1.25; buildings and other improve
ments that cost fifty or sixty thousand
are returned with three ciphers instead of
four; live stock is returned at one-quar-
ter, and less, of their market value, and
so on through the entire list Of property
found on the tax-return.
This is financial suicide both from
public and private standpoint. The
individual is really worth from five to
ten times the amount of his return for
taxation, but that return is frequently
taken as basis upon which to estimate

DIR. NAYLoR,s REMOVAL.

Many Favor His Reinstatement as the
Local Presiding Elder.
Unless there be some surprises at the last
moment-and there sometimes are-at the
Baltimore NJ E. conference, the Metnodists
of the District conference are to find the
results entirely satisfactory
The impression is general, with or with
out positive information from Bishop
Andrews, that there viii be TO changes of
pastors from this district to any other, and
that the changes within the District from
church to church will be agreeable to all
concerned
The rule is that a pastor may hold
charge for five years, the appointments
being for one year and reappointed annually
The prospect so far is that the pastors of the
larger congregations with whom the public
is so pleasantly familiar will officiate for
atleast another year
One of the interesting matters before the
conference in which Washington has a
local interest is the case of DR.. Naylor,
who was succeeded here by Presiding Elder
Wilson.
1t is said that Dr. Naylor was removed as
presiding elder against the unanimous pro-
test of the council OF presiding elders. He
was assigned also, in the opinion OF many of
his friends, to a position in Baltimore in
which his field was in but small degree COM
mensurate with his talents and usefulness.
There has been considerable discussion OF
this matter, and while the comments ON the
bishops action on this charge were not in the
nature of criticism, as he is invested with
full authority in the premises, there has
been desire that DR.. Naylor be suitably
provided for. great many favoTing his re-
instatement as the local presiding elder.
This desire, it should be sa d. is not in any
sense a criticism of the merits of Presiding
Elder Wilson.
In a talk with The Times on this subject
yesterday, member of the Methodist
Church of this city said that perhaps these
little differences could be obviated by a
change in the manner in which these
appointments and removals are made
The question, of course, goes to the or
ganic law.
His idea was that the council of pre-
siding elders or the conference itself
should have concurrent jurisdiction with
the bishop. Conclusions reached by such
body acting with the bishop would
relieve all action of the semblance of being
arbitrary and, in addition, would De made
with the views of those taken into account
who are most directly affected by the
changes now effect ed by the
Episcopal authority alone.
1t was also stated that some such solution
Of this question would be pres ented at
the conference, but in all probability not
until the succeeding session.
