been organized for the purpose of
carrying on the business of water
company. to build reservoirs canals and

and private use, municipal, mining and
other purposes to build electric light
and power plants for supplying electric

The projectors belong to the same
group of capitalists who Quilt the San

nary arrangements for the construction
of large water works to supply the
city of FL Paso have been completed.
A natural reservoir site on the Florida
plains south Of Deming in Luna County
will beutilized The underiow of the
Mimbres has been tested and measured
and has been found ample to supply "a
much larger city than FL Paso with
water. The water will be pumped into
the main reservoir and subsidiary reser-
voirs and piped to III Paso, the survey
Of tire pipe line 'ollowing tac southern
Pacific Railway via Camoray and
Lanark, for the greater part Of the
distance. The water is the purest to
found in the southwest and enough to
supply FL Paso with drinking water

to the Pass City, which stands sorely
in need of a better water supply than
it commands at present. The project

RECORDS

tratiOn.

The New Mexican is just now pu-
hlishing some facts and figures in re.
gard to the financial condition of our
territory which are very interesting to
persons wishing to form an unprejudic-
cd opinion as to the best interests Of
the people and we recommend the care
ful attention Of our readers to the fol-
lowing article and Others of the series
which we shall reproduce from time to
time:
anyone familiar with the affairs of
the Territory ten or even eight years
ago, knows full well that educational
institutions we're languishing chairita.
bile institutions were such practically
in name only; territorial institutions
were run down at the heel, and all
were in a chronic condition of lack of
funds for regular maintenance. From
Examination of the various finance bills
passed by the different legislatures
prior to the administration of 0tero. 1t
can be readily seen that no appropria-
lions were made for these institutions
Except of the most meagei kind, and
further examination of territorial
treasurers' reports will prove that af-
ler those appropriations, such as they
we're made, they were never paid ex-
cept in part. The only liberal appro-
nriations made since 1892 were for cur
fent expenses, and those were INSULT
len. as shown in DEFICIENCIES reported
hg territorial treasurers, and the re-
Deated issuing of expense and deficiency
bonds.
All this has been changed under the
0Eero administration. The territorial
Institutions are in a hourishing condi-
ton; educational institutions rank with
Institutions Of similar character in the
oder states and the charitable institu-
tons are credit to the Territory. In
order to attain this desired result no.
ney had to be expended and the only
rspenue that can be derived is from
taxation. The wilful misreDresenta'
ton on this subject make it necessary
to place before the taxpayers of tn,
Territory brief showing as to what
has been accomplished in the way Of
extending financial aid to these institu
tons.
During the past three years twelve
c8anties of the Territory have received
from the territorial treasurer over one
hslf million of dollars, all derived di
rSet from taxation, for their manten
ance, while twelve counties of th
Territory have been paying their take
% help raise this money and have no
had one dollar of it disbursed With
their boundaries. Here are the figure
which are based on direct payment
made by the territorial treasurer:

Total S53S,325. GA

More than $4,000 per year to main
tain institutions and charities, repres-
enting 6l.3 mills Of the present tax levy
as shown by the average collection of
taxes during the past three years.
These figures do not include Sl39, 600
for permanent Improvement derived
from the sale of public lands.
An examination of his statement
will show that the counties from which
largely come the criticims as to the
increased tax levies, are the very coun-
ties that are receiving the direct bene-
fit of such levies and are thereby, in
reality, actually reducing their rate
very largely.
Without going into too great detail
in the matter of tax levies by mills it
may be worth while to cite few ex-
amples. Al the close of the Thornton
administration, the Democratic legis
lature, in 1897, authorized levy for all
territorial institutions, mot including
the pententiary and charitable associa-
tions), in the sum Of 2.05 mills ON the
the dollar. The Republican legislature
Of 1903 made levy for the same pur-
poses in the sum of 80 mills on the
dollar, thua accounting for 3.05 mills
of the present tax rate, which design,
ing people and yellow papers assure the
public is due to extravaganza in officia
salaries under the Otero adminstra
ton.
Now, If it is good policy, if it is gooC
management to reduce expenses regard
less of results and If the tax payers o
the Territory do not care for schools
do not wish their institutions kept u
and are not disposed to be charitable
then cut them out, lower taxes and <,
I back to where the Territory was unde
Democratic administrations. Thos
persons who desire TO show their goo
faith in demanding a lower tax rat
can best do so by pledging themselve
to elect members of the next leglsa
, ture who are committed to vote for
bill abolishing or courtailing the in
come of any public institution or Chart
located in their respective districts.
