"a Ease by the Board of Equalization
Why cannot such a course be pursu-
ed in New Mexico? 1t is not only an
i~nsufferabie evil but a public shame
that it can be said that one portion OF
the Territory turns into the proper ire
asuries only sixty or seventy per cent
another portion with a higher 0
tionate and actual assessment, col
lects ninety and more per cent of it's
taxes. 1t is a matter worthy of the
undivided and careful attention of the
law makers"
Since the meeting of the last legis-
lature there has been considerable
Improvement in tax collections. the
average percentages of taxes collec-
ed in the whole Territory being high
or, and there being more uniformity
as between the various counties as
to such percentage. But very much
remains to be done in the way of leg
i~slation before the statutes of the
Territory, on the subject of revenues,
are what they should be. l am aware
hat the subject is a difficult one and
one which has taxed the resources OF
the ablest lawyers and legislators in
nearly every state in the Union for
many years, and while we cannot hope
for perfection or the enactment of III
necessary legislation at one session
of the legislature. there are certain
changes which it is extremely desira
bic should be made at once.
In order that uniform and consis-
tent law OF this subject may be avail
able for the guidance of the many ter
ritorial officials whose duty it is to
see to the enforcement of the laws of
assessment and taxation, and that
the difficulties which now exist even
in the minds of trained LAWYERS, as
to the Interpretation of the many
acts which have been passed on the
subject, may be partially, at least, ov-
ercome, I strongly recommend that
you make a complete compilation and
revision of all such laws, repeating all
the laws now on the statute books

mas ever been done before. During the
past two ear a trial has been given
by the Board of Equalization to the
Sections of Chapter So of the laws of
1903, which empower it TO apportion
and adjust in a lump sum the amount
of taxes to be raised among the diff
ferent counties, and the Board is
frank to acknowledge That this method
under existing circumstances, while
correct theoretically, in practice has
not abolished existing inequalities but
has rather accentuated them, not to
speak of the question of law that
might be raised by one county levying
a higher rate for territorial purposes
than another county upon the same
class of property"
"The violation of duty by the as
SCISSOR reduces the total assessed val
uatio1 to far below what it should be.
This, naturally, makes a harmful i'm
preston abroad and results in a rate
of taxation that seem comparatively
nigh when considered Independent of
the imperfect assessment. uch a
course deceives no one, benefits no
one, and is utterly wrong
in principle. A certain sum must be
raised for administrative and other
necessary public purposes, 40 matter

rate of taxation is fixed in proportion

Assessment and Taxation.
The Honorable Miguel A. Otero in
his message to the 36th Legislative
Assembly, aid in regard to his i'm
portant subject:
"The proper assessment of taxable
property n h prompt collection of
taxes is of vital importance to every
commonwealth or community. OF late
years there has been some improve
ment in both, in this Territory, spec
tally since the enactment of the trav
cling auditors law, but it is still not
what it ought to be. 1t is recognized
that the collection of taxes, altno dis
tinct from the duty of assessing pro-
perty for taxation, is nevertheless
very much dependent upon the latter.
1t is no consolation to New Mexico
taxpayers to know that other common
wealths contend with the same diff

CALL.

Washington. ID. c., June II. - A
private cablegram was received here
today stating that Marquis Ito, the
Elder Statesman of Japan, held a
conference with Foreign Minister Ha.
yashl last Wednesday, when, at the
urgent request of the Marquis, it was
decided to recall Viscount Aoki, the
japanese ambassador to this country.
The statement was made in authori-
tatiye quarters that Marquis Ito aud
ambassador Aoki have not been on
friendly terms for many years.
AT the Japanese Embassy Secretary
Takahira said ambassador Aoki
does not care TO dignity the stories
emanatlng from his political enemies
even with denial. The Progressive
party in Japan have taken the San
Francisco disturbances as the preteXt
to stir up agitation in Japan, which is
Greeted at the present Ministry and
they no doubt should be glad to see
Viscount Aoki recalled. Baron Ka'
reko has expressed desire to enter
the diplomatic service and it is very
natural that he should desire the
Washington mission. ambassador
Aoki has received no intimation from
rokio that the Government contem-
plates his recall

WHITE OF EGG CURES CANCER
Growth Comes Out Intact From Head

of serious cancer with only using the
albumen of a fresh es~. The simple
operation was performed upon Frank
johnson.
johnson says the cancer started in
mole in the forehead directly above
the bridge Of the nose more than
twenty six years ago.
Dr. Trask extracted the white of the
egg and spread it. with an oxygen
preparation containing salt and CO.
cane, over the cancer.
Twenty-four hours passed and the
cancer had become an open wound. A
fresh application of the egg remedy
was applied. and after another twenty
four hours had passed the plaster was
removed, With the plaster came the
entire cancer, intact. leaving a hole
in Jotnson's forehead an inch and a
half in diameter, penetrating into the
