happenings III The streets. Ii Is dliii
cult Tor man q keep perfectly sans

stories, which would not receive The

Iowa has rather a curious assess.
ment law which should be studied by
future legislators of New Mexico. It
provides that all property must be as
sessed at its full value. but that taxes
shall be levied on only one.quarter
of the value. A man must swear to
the figures that he returns to the As.
SCISSOR and II it is discovered that he
has made q false return he is punished
for perjury. Under this one-quarter
valuation. the railroads pay taxes on
from $4,000 to $4,000 per mile of
track. In Colorado. where taxes are
supposed 10 be paid on the full or
real valuation. railroads are assessed
at only $4,000 a mile. This gives a
striking illustration upon the yaria.
lions In assessment methods in vari.
GUS states. II takes an expert In p0-
litical economy to figure out why one
fourth OF the value OF a mile Of rail
road track is $3.50 0 In Iowa, while in
Colorado It's full value Is only $4,000.
Undoubtedly, New Mexico could also
furnish instances just as striking to
show that the assessment and taxa
tion methods that prevail throughout
the United States are far from perfect.
