THE New Mexican has beer

THE New Mexican has been going
over the assessment rolls returned from
the various counties to the territorial
auditor, all but three or four, n OF
which is Grant county's, having been
received, and is astonlshed at the
small amount Of property In the ter.
rltOry. It reaches the following con-
illusions, after making the careful ex.
animation: 1.-THE leading counties in
each classification are given to show
how much property really escapes tax
alton. The assessor is easiest on the
capitalists and next to him upon the
mining men, then upon the lumber
men, then upon the sheepmen, and
railroads, the last named being assess
ed upon the basis OF about ten per
cent on the commercial value. OF
course, the man, who escapes under
the exemption law, and 1t is astonish.
Ing TO note how often a 5000 exemp-
tion a be made to cover 81 1000 worth
of property, fares best OF all. The man
who has the hardest time to dodge as
sessment is the land owners, the
merchant and the cattle owner for
their property is OF such a tangible
nature that the assessor cannot help
seeing it. Nevertheless, none Of those
classes is assessed on an average over
fifteen per cent on what they would
sell out for, and there Is every evld-
ence that the assessed valuation Of
$40, 900, 600 for taxation purposes re-
presents wealth exceeding $500, OOO,-

that owing to the foods the property
was not as valuable as it was the pre-

been raised. The captain seems to
think that II one assessor happens to
put a low valuation Of his property
that all succeeding assessors are bound
70 follow him. II the captain gets his
assessment cut down It will only make
