A WORD AS TO x

In a legal opinion regarding legal
points in the matter of taxation and
assessments, in answer to inquiries
propounded by Assessor Albright OF
Bernalillo county, F. w. Clancy, dis
trict attorney for that county, among
other things, says:
Under the operation Of a recent
ly enacted law, an increase in the as
sessment of our county, will not en-
tail any corresponding increase in
the proportion of the territorial tax
which we will pay, and it is to be
hoped, this frequently urged objec-
ton being thus obviated, that the re-
I turn to honesty and the faithful dis
charge of his official duty will be i'm
mediate and thorough"
If the above is the case, The Optic
sees no reason why a system OF hon
est assessments cannot obtain in this
| county, under a system, or plan, that
could be determined upon by the
| board of trade, or other satisfactory
| body, whereby all taxpayers would
| be assessed alike. Some people IN
| this county are paying taxes on hve
| per cent oil what they own while 9TH
ers are paying seventy-ive. and it IS
pretty safe to say that the average
would hardly reach twenty-five. ~
everyone could be assessed fifty per
cent of what they honestly own. our
l assessment would be less than hall
what it now is and the property a
uations would be about $6,OOO,OOO o

to the above opinion for the benefit
Of those who might be interested. II

Medical Records Show That
Uric Acid in the Blood is a
Swift Agent of Death.
Paine'sC Celery

The Popular Spring Medicine
is the Only Reliable Blood
Purifier.

In the springtime deaths from poison
uric acid in the blood-are common.
This malignant poison, which should
be expelled by the kidneys, is diffused
through the blood, and when allowed
to remain in the system, proves fatal.
Thousands of men and women around
us are now suffering from k~idney-pois-
Oned blood. Loss of nerve force, fail
ure of appetite, nausea, constipation,
pains in the back and side and de-

acid is doing its terrible work.
For such a condition in springtime,
there is but one sure, tried and never
failing remedy, it is Paine's Celery
Compound, which promptly restores
the kidneys to health and enables them
to perform their functions. With the
kidneys in proper condition, there can
not remain the slightest trace Of uric

BEupAH BUDGET.
To The Editor of The Optic:

To The Editor of The Optic:
BEULAH, N. NJ, April 21.-In the
absence OF news, your correspondent
thinks a few words concerning the
Las Vegas-Santa Fee road may be in
order. The road, when completed,
will AFFORD one Of the most beautiful
drives to be had anywhere; the seen
cry along the route is grand beyond
description and al be appreciated
only by those who see It.
And since this is to be a scenic
be given care11af attention. The road
should be built over the most practi-
cable route, which shall afford the
best scenery and at the same time in
sure accommodation for the pleasure
seeker.
That the Sapello Canon route meets
all of these requirements is unques-
toned, but it is particularly favored
in being the most practicable for
crossing the main range either by
the way of Johns canyon as the trail
now goes, or by the main canon to the
south.
The topography of the country on
the Pecos side, particularly the d.
rection of the streams, will make
the point where the summit is reach
ed in the ascent from the Pecos, some
where in the vicinity of the head Of
the Sapello; and the descent to the
Blake ranch will be very easy.
The road from Blake's to Las We
gas is a good one, but possibly some
changes could be made to advantage.
An easy route by Ell Porvenir could
be found, passing the foot of Her
