The side walk ordinance will
come up for third and final read
ing at the next meeting OF the city
council. The ordinance does not
provide for curbing in the residence
portion OF town, so that the cost OF
putting down sidewalks there will
be only $40 for each twenty-five
foot lot This amount of money
will not break anybody and will
make vast improvement in the
appearance of the stretes Of La
tunta.
La Junta tribune., 1899-03-15

Sixty-nine days Of the Legislative
session have elapsed, and but
twenty-one remain, the last day
being April 4th. During the six
ty-nine days only three bills OF
general importance and interest
have passed the legislature. They
are the eight hour law for mines
and smelters, the Teller county
bill, and the measure providing
that any legislature may submit as
many as six amendments to ,the
to the state constitution to the peo-
pie for approval at any general
election. This is record the fu-
sionists may we'll be proud of, but
is about equal to their capacity.
La Junta tribune., 1899-03-15

The sidewalk ordinance is caus-
ing considerable discussion, pro
and con, among property owners
concerning its merits. Some peo-
pie persist in declaring that their
tax burdens are greater than they
can bear now, and vigorously op-
pose Improvements that have a
tendency to increase them. Their
methods OF arithmetic are pecu-
liar. They figure that a tax rate
of seven per cent is outrageously
exhorbitant, and that to increase il
would be crime against society.
They forget that property is only
assessed at about from one-sixth to
one-third of its real value, and that
the tax rate is necessarily high in
order to realize the revenues re-
quired. The lot for which prop
erty owner demands $500 for the
purposes Of barter and sale is only
valued at $S5 for taxation purposes.
As long as the present methods oi
assessing property remain in vogue
there will always be vigorous
howl about exhoritant taxes. In
reality taxes are not high. and
would not be considered 50 il the
assessments were based on a full
cash value basis as they ought to
be. With property in Otero county
assessed on full cash value basis
the tax rate would be less than two
per cent-less than So on each SIoc
valuation. This is great less
than it is in California, . state Of
about the same area in square
miles and over double the popula-
ton.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Ruling Made in Case Against the Kan
sas City, Memphis & Birmingham.

Washington, April 5.-The interstate COM
merce commission today in an opinion by
Commissioner Prouty decided the case
against the Kansas City, Memphis and Br-
mingham Railroad company and others 1t
mainly involved the practice Of Floating"
cotton. The commission finds that the es-
sential transportation feature is carrying
the cotton to compress, receiving 1t again
in the compressed state and transporting
1t to the destination at the through rate in
force from the point or origin.
The question was whether the shipment
ia to be considered through and entitled to
a through rate or as local and calling for
application of charges in effect to and from
the compress point. The commission holds,
first that the carrier may, as part of con-
tract for through shipment, allow the cot
ton to be stopped off for the purpose of
grading and COMPRISING, but that the
privilege enters into and becomes part of
the service covered by the rate and should
be specified in the published tariffs; second,
that the determinative feature of through
shipment is the contract, and II the cotton
starts and proceeds upon a contract for
through shipment, as is shown to be the
fact in the case, it may be considered as a
through shipment and be given the benefit
of a through rate. The Kansas City grain
rate case is cited and distinguished in the
decision.
