I PER CENT IS TAX RATE IN
 NEW MEXICO
How Would Arizona Like to Take Chances With Such a Government = High Taxes Cuts Both Ways Like Sword
tArizona Republican,

Bernalillo county, N. M, is as we have remarked the most populoua and richest county of New Mexico. Albu- querque, the largest and most modern city of the territory Is the county seat. In illustration of the deplorable finan- cial conditions of New Mexico, the Republican mentioned the other day that the county tax rate of Bernalillo
 was 6 per cent. We were not quite high enough. The Albuquerque Jour. nal. a joint statehood paper, by the
 way, has this to say of the burdened condition of the county:
 An exorbitant tax rate, such as that
 which hangs like a millstone about tho meek of the Bernalillo county public is like two-edged sword and cuts both ways. It also touches all classes lof the community, and injures the in Iterests of all classes indiscriminately No one profits by 1t except the mem bers of the gang who get away with the plunder-and that is why they can always afford to spend the money oi the people so liberally to keep them selves in office.
 Anyone who will give only a few
 moments to looking at the matter will
 not fail to convince himself that this is true. In the first place, no one will deny the fact that every new factory or new industrial enterprise of any kind. that we secure for the town
 helps all of us. The property owner is helped by the improved demand fol property at the advance of prices, and
 the workingman is helped by the ad ditional demand for labor which is al
 ways the result of additions to the in dustrial facilities of the community But such an outrageous tax rate as we are now obliged to pay in Bernal lilo county acts as prohibitory tarifl upon the location of new industries
 because it stands to reason that wher a man is looking for place at which
 to invest his money in some sort o
 industrial enterprise, he is not gofns to build up a valuable property h
 some locality where the tax rate is per cent, when he can just as we'll ge

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
 RETURN FROM GLOBE Forty Candidates Were Re- ,, ceived Into Order at Big Mining Camp.

The Knights of Columbus, who left the city on A special train Saturday for Globe, where they installed . council of the new order. returned to the city late on Monday night after a very enjoyable trip.
 On their arrival in Globe on Satur- day evening they were met by . dele gation of candidates, and were imme- diately taken to the Old Dominion ho- tel. where they were entertained at dinner. After dinner, the evening was spent in introducing the visiting delegation to the various business men of the city. Il
 On Sunday morning the entire dele 'gation attended mass at the Catholic Church in body. After the services were over, the work of conferring the degrees on the forty candidates was taken up immediately at the lodge rooms, and consumed the entire day.
 As soon as the ceremonies were over the visitors were driven again 10 the Old Dominion Hotel. and an elab- crate banquet was served, in the course of which many toasts were re- sponded to in a happy vein.
 Leaving Globe at 6:30 on Monday morning the Bisbee men arrived home late that night

vantages of location and market and where the tax rate is not more than one-half, or probably not more than one quarter of that amount. Indeed, to most men who are accustomed to doing business on a small margin, 2 per cent a year is considered very fair return on the money invested. and if they have to take the chances on a [ per cent tax rate, they are unable to see much prospect of profit in a community where property has to car ry such handicap.
 And thus it is that the per cent rate on this community cuts both ways like a two edged sword, and the policy of plunder which this gang has always practiced robs the people coming and going-it not only makes them pay in taxes twice as much as they ought to pay, but it robs them of a chance to increase their ability to pay, through the attraction of outside capital and the increase of values. And the work ingman gets the worst of this in two ways-first, because he has a big tax bill to pay in the end, through the in evitable increase in his rent, and sec ond, because he is deprived of the chance he ought to have to get an in- crease of wages through an increase In the demand for labor. It hits him the hardest of all.
 The Journal agrees with Former Delegate Rodey that there is no cap ital forcing its way into New Mexico for investment.
 On what theory do Arizona jointists believe that capital could be induced to come into Arizona the Great dom. mated by New Mexican methods?

Mark Smith Is Given Enthusi- astic Reception Among the Farmers Along San Pedro. Are Solid Against Jointure.

ST. DAVID, Ariz.. Oct 30-Hon Marcus A. Smith, Democratic Delegate to Congress, spoke here this evening to the largest audience ever assembled in St. David. People came from up and down the valley for a distance of ten miles to hear the able champion of Arizona's rights in Congress. Mark Smith spoke for forty-five minutes and his remarks were cheered repeatedly. Close attention was given to his ac- count of the attempt of the Republi- can leaders in Washington to join Arizona with New Mexico in joint statehood and showed to the satisfac- ton of the entire audience that Ari- zona had all to lose and nothing to gain by such an alliance.
 Today was a holiday in St. David. The Democratic candidates arrived on the morning train and the afternoon was spent in visiting from one point to another, Mark Smith always being the center of an enthusiastic crowd.
 After the meeting ball was given in the town hall, and this was followed by sumptuous supper to which all were invited. J. N. Gaines, Owen Mur- phy, c. A. Mcdonald, J. J. Bowen. Frank Goodbody and Stewart Hunt
 were among the Democratic candi- dates present, and the Democratic rally at this point was thoroughly en- joyed and appreciated by the residents, and St. David can be depended upon to return its usual majority for the Democratic ticket.

But there was pathetic look in the

The very thought made his heart
burn. 1t seemed impossible. 1t was
too much to expect from any girl. Yet
that man-what was his name? Ban

likely. He must fnd out. He must
get some decent clothes SO that he
might make inquiries. Some one In
the town must know what had become
of her.
Another thing-he must send back
that money to Bannister as soon
as possible. But how was he TO ind

Jim Bannister jumped out of the
train, his black bag in his hand. and
his eyes went ranging up and down
the platform in search OF his wife and
children. They generally were there
to meet him when he came down from
town on Friday evening. Finding that
they were not visible, he left the sta
ton and took the road that led away
from the town and the harbor towards
the new suburb which had OF late years
set up in business as a watering place.
1t was cheap and healthy, and the boys
liked to go down to the harbor and
see the ships and talk to the sailors.
Bannister soon got OUT OF town, for
he was walking fast, but as the road
began to rise his pace became slower
till, as he neared the bend where the
road turned toward the cluster OF red
brick villas. he was going quite
leisurely.
A man was sitting on the stile at the
corner-a tramp, he seemed to be.
Bannister frowned. He was a hard
working man himself, and he did not
like tramps-perhaps envied them a
little. His face assumed stern look
