Shortly after the first of this year
Tax Commissioner Dillon will begin
to hold series Of meetings with the
various personal property assessors
Of the state for the purpose of in
structing them in their duties.
These meetings will be held at diff
ferent points throughout the state
most convenient for four or five of
the assessors to meet together. Mr..
Dillon will meet with them and in
struct them as to their duties, what
property 10 assess and how to find it,
In discussing the matter of assess
ing property, Mr.. Dillon said:
"The greatest trouble with the old
law was the inefficiency of the men
whose duty it was to carry it out.
The personal property assessors did
not find all the property that the law
require them to find. When an
assessor called on a property holder
he would get an item or two or it he
left blank the assessor would re-
ceive it back with few items on it
and he would accept this as correct
statement of the mans. property.
~Next year every item OF property
must be assessed at its full value.
This includes the railroads. The
board of public works this year rails
ed the assessments of the railroads
something above what it was last
year, but next year they will go on
at their full value.
"The assessment Of land this year
has been made at its full value and
in order TO equalize taxation per-
sonal property next year must also
be assessed at its full value.
s:EIeretofore there was some ex-
cuse for assessing personal property
at less than its real value. For IN
stance. when man who owned a
farm worth $4,000 could beat the
assessment down to $500 or $500 or
SO 900 or 81, 900, his neighbor who
had no farm but had $4,000 in bank
or loaned out at interest could not
see why he should give this to the
assessor, while his neighbor with the
farm whose property could not be
concealed escaped.
"Heretofore by concealing his
property it was made possible tor the
banks to lend money at 6 per cent.
when he could not do it himself. For
instance, if man had a thousand
dollars in bank which he did not give
in to the assessor the bank could
loan this money at 6 per cent, and
make "a profit because the bank did
not have to report it TO the assessor:
If the man loaned the money and
and got 6 per cent. while the levy
was from $50 to $3.50 on the 500
valuation he did not make anything,
or rather, he could not compete with
the banks who we're not assessed for
the money on deposit. If the levy
next wear is so cents on the 500 val
uation man can report his loans to
the assessor, pay taxes on them and d
still realize 5 1-2 per cent. interest. "

WAITING ron AREAsoN
From the washington Post.

From the warrington FOst.
The Post Is waiting patiently for
the advocates Of the statehood bill To
advance q single argument against
the proposal that New Mexico and
Arizona. separately, be permitted ia
vote on the question whether they
shall be united to form one state.
Delegations OF Joint statehood boom.
ers I'LL the newspapers with declar'
sti0ns that the people Of both terri
tories are IN favor Of the union, and
that the bill a. passed, by the house

Mexico. voting ~ another territory
wish to be Joined o. one state. It ID
dtficuit TO perceive why their wish
should mot be granted. They ought to
know better than outsiders, what Il
best for them. The two territories
would. together, make q splendid
state. worthy In every respect to take
4 place alongside the other states
Neither territory. alone. IL quite up
to the requirements Of statehood.
But how Is congress to know
whether the people OF these territor
les wish to enter the union az q
single state unless the question Il
submitted to them? And how is con
gress to know the desire OF either ter.
ritory unless the vote Is taken separ-
ateiy? Congress has absolute power
over these territories and II may
make one or two states Of them, as It
will. If the national needs are such
that these territories should be ere.
ated into n or more states. for the
good Of the union. an excuse might
exist for ignoring the wishes Of the
people OF the territories. But there
II no such exigency.
Perhaps II IL true that, the people OF
Arizona are willing to vote for joint.
nre with New Mexico rather than re.
main a territory. It appears that
New Mexico Is willing to unite with
Arizona. But congress cannot be GER
tain Of this unless a vote II taken In
each territory. To combine the vote
OF the territories might result In a
majority vote In favor OF jointure,
when AZ q matter OF fact. a majority
Of the people Of Arizona might vote
against the proposition. The result
would be the f0rcibie union Of one
territory with another. against its
