Augusta has been remarkably free
from tramps the present summer. ana
it must be admitted that specimens OF
the genus Hobo have good reason for
fighting shy of our local police station
and Judge Andrews. OF late there
have been reports of few CoXeyites
working" the suburbs. although they
have been careful to fight shy of the
business portion of the city. People
who make a practice of feeding tramps
are sure to lay up trouble for them
selves. If they are in any real need
the authorities should and will attend
to them. H.

New Mexico Tax Rolls Are So
Unequal As To Cause Awk-
ward Questions.

A Santa Fe dispatch Of Sept II
to the El Paso Heraldsays. "Quits
a sensation has been caused by
judge ID. II. Mcmillan issuing ,
writ of vaandamus citing assessors
Of Olero an1 Guadalupe counties tc
appear before him to show oaus,
why they should net DO fned and
Imprisoned for not my ing returns
Of the county assessmentN the ter.
ritorial auditors AZ required by
law. =,
Assessors have been very loose
in their methods up to date but a
change is to be made by the terri
torial administration, and the board
of equalization IN session in this
city at present may throw u bomb
shell among the tax dodgers.
The great inequality OF assess
ments throughout the territory Is
shown by the following per capita
assessm entofeach county: Chaves
$544; Luna $5l4; Eddy S5l3; ST.
era $4l4; Union 4l3; Grant $3ll;
Colfax $40; Mckinley $3.50; Lin.
coin 1881; Dona Ana $l9S; Quad
alupe$l0l; San Miguel$l73; Otero
Sl56; Bernalillo $l54; Valencia
$l3s; Santa Fe $ll8; San Juan
sos; Mora 1913; Rio Arriba $5S;
Taos $3S
What hurts the administration
most is that tho four counties that
show the most honest assessments,
Chaves, Lunn, Eddy and Sierra,
are southern counties, democratic
and American; that OF the seven
counties maklngth the next best show
ing, five are democratic, tour are
southern counties, and four are
American; while the eight making
tho poorest showing, including the
ich counties Of Bernalillo and San
NJ MiLuel, are with one exception
Mexican counties and Republican.
Ii il were not for the railroad
aseessment 10 such ultra republican
and Mexic n counties like Berna-
lilo, Valencia, Rio Arriba, Taos
and Santa Fe. the Ii wing would
be still poorer and the board OF
aud the administration
il asking itself the question why
should tho per capital Assess ment
Of Chaves county be fifteentimes AZ
high as Te' county which is older,
has more railroad to assess and ~
richer?
1t is to the credit OF the republi-
can administration OF tho territory
that it intends to sift this matter
even through republican assessors
and republican tax paye4s are the
chief offenders. The point IL to
make a good showing before con.
press whe1 statehood Is asked, but
the miserable assessment returns OF
most OF the counties speak more
against statehood than do dozen
about the fitness of tho
The territory to govern itself.
Many OF the assessment rolls are
iiso in terrible shape 40 that It
would take an expert to decipher
ID, m while others have not been
az the law requires.
It is also notable that the coun-
lies that make the poorest assess-
Dent showing have been paying
he emallest per cent OF the taxes
eyied III them and il seems that
,othing but the imprisonment Of
everal assessors and boards OF
commissioners will bring
bout reform"

were charged with using formaldehyde

Secretary Baker, of the state board
of health, advises the people of Michi-
gan that now is a good time TO get
vaccinated. Smallpox usually in
creases in prevalence until April or
May and is now more widespread in
this part of the country than it has
been for many years, and it is being
brought here from several neighbor-
ing states. Vaccination should be done
under asepetic conditions and by the
family physician. Although many
persons vaccinated when a child and
again at maturity are not afterwards
susceptible to smallpox, yet for the
most perfect safety every person who
has not been successfully vaccinated
within the past five years, he says,
should be vaccinated.
