Carlsbad current and New Mexico sun., 1908-01-10

The Current can prove Its conten-
tion that the high rate of taxation
Is due entirely to republican mis-
rule, that the rate of county taxa
tion h been steadily reduced
while the territory has continued to
add burdens totally unbearable and
has taken from Eddy county a
steadily increasing amount each
year until the amount has reached
nearly twice and half as much as
under the last democratic admins
tration, and all this Is laid at the
door Of Eddy county's honest con-
scientious democratic officials. The
wonder Is they have kept so qdiet
and borne the stigma Of lot Of re-
publican grafters so uncomplain-
ingly. Even the republican dis
trict Judge has allowed bills for
assistance in the district attorneys
office that If investigated would
hardly come under the jurisdiction
of judge to allow. The salary
aud fees of a district attorney are
sufficient. Then the commission
ers are expected to pay a deputy
district clerk out of the general
fund and as there is no law for
this all such illegal bills should be
turned down. Then there seems to
be no effort by the republican dis
trict Judge to expedite court mat
tiers or save expense. While per-
sonally Judge Pope is gentleman
his republican proclivities of ex7
uavagance are breaking out since
he joined the party Of pie and
plunder.

GIVE 1T In AT ONE-sIxrH.

Talking about this question Of
taxation while here Governor Curry
said: N'It Is not expected that the
assessed value shall exceed one
sixth of the real value Of property.
Railways are assessed at only one
tenth their value, while the rolling
stock is not assessed. I am work
ing on a measure to recommend for
passage at the next session Of the
legislative assembly that I hope
viii Lave a tendency to correct
some Of the inequalities In assess
ments."
The governor also said that the
present law made liars Of all men,
even the most conscientious unless
they gave in their property at rates
SO high II would be ruinous. How
ever he advised the giving In Of
about one-sixth by all, and assess
Ing all equal.
Those tax payers who feel they
are overtaxed, In many instances
are giving in too high while others
are assessed too low.
Carlsbad current and New Mexico sun., 1908-01-10

A delegation, consisting Of G. U.
Mccrear y and Mr.. Atkinson, was
down from Artesia Monday to ad-
wise tn e commissioners on the
bridge prop osition. A petition
signed by 400 tax payers was pre-
sented the board as required by
law, asking for the calling Of an
election to vote bridge bonds for the
bridge at Artesia, and also a petit
tion to vote on bridge bonds for a
bridge across the Penaseo at Day
ton. Judge Daugherity Of Dayton
was here to push the Dayton pro-
ject. After due consideration the
boafd decided TO turn down all re-
quests to hold special elections at
present because of unnecessary ex-
pense, Mr.. Turknett voting for the
proposition and Commissioners
Weaver and Heard voting against
II. The board believes the large
majority Of the people Of Eddy
county are averse to holding a spe-
cial election at this time, but will
allow the bridge bonds to be voted
on at the general election next fall.
The action of the board in thus
turning down the matter for the
present has caused many Artesians
to feel aggrieved. However, the
board must consider what is best
for the county as a whole and not
Artesia alone, even though the
little town is one Of the best and
most enterprising in the valley.
Carlsbad current and New Mexico sun., 1908-01-10

A special election costs Eddy
county $500 and owing to the fact
that only about 500 votes are ever
polled at such an election the cost
Is about a dollar a head for the
purpose Of an experiment very
costly at least. Though the bonds
voted at the last special election
were well advertised and were not
even hinted at being irregular In
any way only one lone bidder was
found and this before any SEM
blanee of a money panic had oc-
Cured. Since the morey panic
commenced the bidders finding II
burdensome to handle the bonds
discreetly found loop hole as an
excuse to turn down Ms good bonds
as were ever issued by any county
In the territory. Is 1t then the
part of wisdom to hold another
election now2 what assurance
have the commissioners that the
proposed bonds will SELF Can the
friends Of the project sell the bonds7
II they would not sell and there
Is no reason to show that they will
then II Is better to wait until the
fall election when the $500 can be
saved the county and the proposi-
tions voted an all at once. Then II
may develop that another PROPOSE
tion viii be added and the whole
county win have an opportunity "a

The peculiar idea Of some Of the
friends of this paper that IT may

much, II any, taxes could be re-
dueed by placing the officials on
