ABUSE Of

New York Attorneys Take
Decided Stand in Proposed
Resolutions
THAW CASE AN EXAMPLE
More Rigid Procedure for Re-
lease of Persons from
Insane Asylums.

Rochester, n. Y, Jan. 21.-In
report that scathingly rebuked the eff
forts to liberate Harry X. Thaw from
Matteawan asylum, a special commit
tee on the commitment and the dis
charge of the criminal insane today
recommended at the annual meeting
of the New York State Bar Associa-
tion an amendment to the habeas cor
pus law. 1t is suggested that any per-
son confined in any state hospital for
the insane or insane criminals may
make application for habeas corpus
only written certified petition, ac-
companied by a ceretificate made un-
der oath by two qualified medical
examiners in lunacy. The report con-
tinues that in emphasizing need for
this remedy a reference should be
made to a we'll known case which has
been in the public eye for long, where
the murderer having escaped the con-
sequences of his crime by plea of
insanity, is trying to escape the con-
sequences of his crime by a continu-
Gus performance in habeas corpus. No
stronger illustration of the abuses in
Jour system of criminal jurisprud-
ence can be had. 1t is a mere Ques,
tion Of time and money when this par
ticular murderer will be set free to
direct his homicidal incHinations
against some other citizen who has
already fallen or may hereafter come
under his displeasure, and everything
will be done according to the form
Of law.

HIGH RATE AFFECTS THEM
Communication Discussing Mat
ter of Vital Importance to
New Mexico.
Ell Paso, Texas. Jan. is. 1910.

Editor, Santa Fe New Mexcan,i
Santa Fe. n. NJ.
Dear Sir: The present lively dis
cussion of tax matters in New Mex
leo in which the law as it stands is the
theory of full valuation, the equaliza-
ton between differing classes of prop
erty and between the various cOun-
ties of the territory all have their
advocates, has arisen at an oppor-
tune time as it is agreed upon all
sides that the finances of the territory
and Of all its counties. with few eX-
ceptions, have never been in a better
condition, and no material interests
are likely to suffer. All classes and
conditions are interested in the sub
ject; therefore inject it into politics,
censure the governor, agitate for a
change in the board of equalization
force the district attorneys to resign
threaten the county assessors and
commissioners and prepare to have
new laws enacted by the next legis.
lature-but with all your discussions
and plans do not overlook one very
essential fact-that is, will all this ag.
itation reduce the amount Of taxes to
be paid? A reduction of taxes to be
paid is of far more Importance
than the valuations, rates or schemes
of placing unequal burdens upon par
ticular classes of property, for these
can be adjusted fairly by equalization
The railroads of the territory now
pay over % per cent of the total taxes
levied-and much larger percentage
of total taxes collected-and this pro
portion will increase as the eXemp
tions of six years for new roads ex

Pay Too Much.

While the railroads have made no
complaint and entered into no discus
sions in the public prints, they very
fully realize that the tax paid per
mile in New Mexico is out of proper
ton with other income producing
property and much greater than in
adjoining states and territories.
For example: The El Paso &
Southwestern system extends from
Benson, Ariz, to Tucumcari. n. NJ,
and in connection with the Rock Is
land routes to the east. This railroad
is valued by the board of equalization
at $7,250 per mile west of Ell Paso
and $3.50 per mile east from the
same city where it runs through New
Mexico.
In Cochise county, Arizona, with the
vast railroad equipment required for
the mines and smelters, side tracks
and spurs, equal to one-third in length
Of main line, repair shops, etc, the
total taxes, territorial, county and
school, placed as in New Mexico upon
the E. P. & S. W. main line is $2SG.S4
per mile.
In e. Paso county, Texas, the E. P.
& n. e. R. R., part of the main line
of the system, with 1913 miles of main
line and its valuable depot grounds
and terminal in the city of Ell Paso,
the total taxes, state, county, city and
school, amount to $23O.66 per mile.
In contrast let us place the counties
in New Mexico through which the sys-
TEN runs, with total contributive
population not exceeding the city of
Douglas alone, and it will be evident
that there is reason for complaint, but
not on the side of the public:
Grant county, per mile ..$270.S1
Luna county, per mile ,..... 293.62
Dona Ana county, per mile, (no
sch. taxi .............. 264,S5
Otero county, per mile . ..... 297.37
Lincoln county, per mile -. 232.00
Torrance county, per mile >. 356.11
Guadalupe county, per mile 213.94
Quay county, per mile ..... 10000
Union county, per mile ..... 565.S0
In 1909 the railroads in the ter,
ritory experienced a raise in valua,
tion of more than 10 per cent over
1908, with resulting average increase
of Is per cent in taxes over amounts
paid in 1908, so far as my experience
goes.
There is room for inference that
the various assessors and boards OF
county commissioners knowing that
this increase in valuation was a sure
thing, would, with natural increase
from new properties, form a consider
able item-and there was little care
and diligence shown in making care
full assessment and proper equaliza
tion of value, whilst that economy in
the conduct of affairs and a lowering
of the tax rates which would be nat
urally expected failed to materialize
The only apparent remedy for the
present state of affairs is a more care
