TAX NEWS

1OmOITOW Is SlecI1On Udy, UOlH LII
Chaves county and throughout the
Nation. In the country at large, w. j..
Bryan is standing for the interests
of the people as against w. H. Taft,
the representative of the corporations
and the trusts. In the territory we
have Mr.. Larrazolo as opposed to w.
H. Andrews, known as "BulP' and the
latter being the candidate of the O.
dious gang of corruptionists that has
SO long robbed the people of New Mex
leo and disgraced them in the eyes
OF the rest of the country. Democrats
cannot vote for Bryan but they can
vote for the representative of his par
ty here in New Mexico, Mr.. Larrazolo
and they can defeat -.BulI' Andrews.
the representative of the special in
terests. 1t is up to the voters.
In the county desperate and de-
termined effort has been made by GER
tain elements in the Republican party
to defeat not only Mr.. Larrazolo, but
to down the county ticket. No effort
has been spared and no action of any
kind, no matter how vicious, has been
overlooked in the last desperate raid
on Democratic votes.
The effort to defeat the county
ticket mas brought to the front the
matter of taxation and has evolved a
desperate scheme of misrepresenta-
ton and fa1sehood The local Republi-
can organ has led in this kind of fight
but it has proved rank fizzle and the
truth is known to the voters. There
are certain laws governing taxation.
These laws are Republican clear
through and no responsibility of any
kind can be attached to any Democrat
on their account. In. another place in
this issue the Record gives the law
governing the county commissioners.
The Register-Tribune published a
HIST giving the assessn8 ents of certain
tax payers of the county. 1t has devel-
oped that these lists were, either so
carelessly handled. or Intentionally
doctored, tnat they are misleading in
every particular. Several of the irate
tax payers grew tired of being mis-
represented in this manner and call
ed on the management of the Regis
ter-Tribune. Here are several signed
statements showing the results of two
of these interviews:
Roswell, N. NJ, Oct. 81, 1905.
To Whom 1t May Concern:
We have this day been shown by
Mr. James F. Hinkle, manager of the
Arroyo ranch, rendition of the i'm
provements upon the said ranch, in
the sum of $4,059.00, taxes of 1908.
This rendition was shown in the pres
ence of County Assessor ]. c. Peck,
and is satisfactory evidence to us
that the statement made by this pa
per under incorrect information, to
the effect that such improvements
were not rendered for taxes is who'll
ly erroneous, and that such improve
ments were rendered and listed for
taxation. Respectfully,
(Signed) B. F. HARLOW,
Manager Register-Tribune.

one at best, but especially so under
the odious system of Republican laws
