THE CITY ELECTION.

the vote polled yesterday was far be-

city attorney; w. A. Lee, city clerk;
J. Finn HUT, alderman for the Sec

NOT LIES But
THE TRUTH

Under the heading of The Real
Truth About County Taxes the To-
cal Republican Organ (Which is repu-
dated by its own party leaders) pro-
ceeds to copy a few quotations of the
Republican tax laws from recent is
sues of the Record, and then draws
conclusions that are absolutely incor-
rect and false in every particular. Let
us look at a few of them.
The Board of County Commission
ers has directed its efforts to getting
as flair and impartial an assessment
as possible under Republican laws.
The lands close in to Roswell are nat
urally the most valuable lands, and
are valued accordingly by the Board.
The farther away from Roswell the
less are the lands worth and they
are valued accordingly.
The r. T. Man brings up the ques-
ton of the valuation of certain lands
which have been placed by the Board
at $3.50 an acre and compares them
with those at $3.50 an acre, and then
says: 1.-The Territorial Board did not
fix that price,"
The agricultural lands valued at
$3.50 per acre are the highly culti-
lands valued at $3.50 are the highly
cultivated lands some distance from
Roswell, or south of the township line
between townships IL and II, which
runs near Orchard Park. The lands
valued at $3.50 are the same in acre
age as those valued at $3.50, so that
the average for this class of lands is
SIS per acre. In other words the
Board of County Commissioners has
tried to give the farmers in the south
ern end of the county as fair a deal
as the fniquitous Republican law will
permit. THERE IS NOT A COUNTY
IN THE TERRITORY WHOSE
LANDS OF ANY DESCRIPTION ARE
RENDERED AT A VALUE EXCEED
ING THOSE SET BY REPUBLICAN
LAW
The lands placed at $25 by the
Board are the lands closely adjoining
Roswell, some of them being within
the city limits. All this shows that
the Board has endeavored to place
the valuations as fairly as possible
under the conditions. The lands real
ly worth the larger sums are valued
the highest, and then departing from
Roswell, the valuation is scaled down.
Nothing could be more fair.
The Milne-Bush lands under the
management of w. NJ. Atkinson are
all the way through placed in the
HIGHEST valuation class.
The spite work of the Register
Tribune seems to be directed not on
