Hon. George Pottle Of the board of
State assessors. has been at the Capitol
during the last few days, busted with
answering any number of Inquiries
which keep coming in regarding prob
lens on taxation which have arisen in
the minds of the local assessors
Facts" said Mr.. Pottle to a Journal
reporter. Tuesday. It's facts that the
assessors need. and what is the most
significant and satisfactory feature
about it, is their great interest in OBJ
tanning them. For instance. one local
board recently wrote to us, referring
to a lot of property in its town:
This was taxed on two-thirds Of its
valuation. so years ago: and has been
ever since. We don't really know. how
ever. what the property is now worth.
but we do want to find out" This is
sample of the attitude of inquiry which
is generally being made. - 1t must be
borne in mind. however" continued
Mr. Pottle, that the investigations
made do not by any means necessarily
increase the total valuation, for often
valuations go up. while others so
down"
Although there is an appeal to the
assessors decisions, the latter are gen
orally accepted. as they are with few
exceptions correct. when careful study
is made. 1t is on these decisions that
much depends, and this fact is appre-
ciated by few more than the assessors
themselves. who are more and more
striving for an equitable adjustment OF

THE MEXICAN
STAMP LAW.

Juan P. Veraslegui, after
giving the history of the stamp
law adds:
Il proceed to give a brief
idea which the foreigner may
take for a rule in order not 10
incur Il penalty in our country,
in certifying bis transactions.
The stamp law, for merchants
(who are the ones most inter
ested ia the subjecl) may be
reduced to the following prin-
ciples; LIST. Every person who
makes sales in the country, if
by retail, has to make his re-
turn to the Office Of the stamp
revenue, where his sales are
quoted with 1-2 per cent, an
uually. and which must be paid
every two months, by affixing
the corresponding stamp on a
ticket which the officer delivers
to him; this payment should b.
certified every two mouths, in
the first days of the month, in
advance. or otherwise a fine of
10 limeE the stamps which
were not paid when due will
have to be paid. In order to
avoid forgetting, the merchants
that calculate all the probabili-
ties ofloss and gain, pay from
July, the time when the
tickets are given out, the
stamps for the whole year.
This last can be done only by
establishments of some time
standing; the newer ones, until
they are of three months stand
ing, have to make their regular
returns"
The above is found in Mod
ern Mexico.
