HEAVY TAKES

The following pertinent remarks
are taken from the Alamosa EN-.
pire:
THE tax levy in the town Of
Alamosa is seventy-nine mills on
the assessed valuation of the prop
erty. This amount of taxes 10
greater than the legal rate of in
terest charged in any state in the
union, excepting six.
Eight per cent in twelve and
one half years consumes the prin-
cipal sum of the estate, it confis-
oates the property and you are left
homeless. Is it fair to the tax
payer, is it fair to the real estate
man, is it fair to the settler, that
they should know why it is that
their taxes are so high and in
what manner the money is expend-
ed? Yea, and it is only fair to the
commissioners themselves that
they should remove the stain upon
them by making fair explanation
to the people. All kinds of rumors
are ahoat that our moneys are not
being economically, expeditiously
and properly expended and that
warrants have been issued without
authority of law, and that taxes
have been related without author
ity of law.
THE treasurer has been ordered
not to collect taxes without auth
ority of law. Favorites have had
their assessments reduced without
authority of law; in fact, summing
it up, the way our present county
affairs are conducted there is no
equality in taxation, and those
who are closest to the board Of
county commissioners are made
the favorites, while the poor and
perhaps the ones who have not 20
much influence must bear the ter
rible burden placed upon them"
