The more the assessment aud tax
question is being investigated the
more it is found that the reason for
faulty assessments and tax collections,
in many Of New Mexicos counties, is
partly with the tax payers themselves
and partly with the officials charged
with executing the revenue laws Of

tuuately, has but little power, under
