LIMITS TAXATION

The tax rate Is limited under the con
stitution. There ie no limit under the
territorial form of government. The
various sources of indirect taxation uu.
der the constitution With the lands Civ.
en- Us by congress, will run the machin.
cry OF the state after a few years with.
out any direct taxation at all. For the
irSt two years after the constitution
goes into effect, the total annual tax
levy for all state purposes, exclusive Of
state debt, shall no exceed II mills; aud
thereafter IL shall not exceed 10 mills.
For the sake of asgumuut suppose the
Institution Of a state government should
cost ~ "a levy OF = cents on the one hun.
dred dollars, Ia view of the fact that
there Is goirg to be "a many more sourc.
- OF revenue from whirh 10 derive
taxation, the rate mus, q bc
reduced to a minimum much lower than
under the present territorial system.
There are no exemptions under the con.
stitution except as provided in sections
: and II Of article VII, under the cap.
ton Of Taxation aud Revenue. see.
tion :, reads:
S"c. The property u the United
states, the state and all counties. cities.
and school districts. and other municipal
corporations, public libraries, communi.
~ bitches and all laierals thereof, all
church property. all property used for
educational or charitable purposes, all
cemeteries not used or held for private
or corporate profit, and all bonds OF the
state of New Mexico. aud all OF the
counties, municipalities aud districts
thereof shall be- exempt from taxation.
Section II, reads:
Sec. 1.-THE legislature may cxrmp,
from taxation property of each head of
a family to the amount OF two hundred
dollars.
Now there don Z seem 10 be- anything
had the matter with these exemptions.
In fact, IL you will turn TO the article
on taxation and revenue aud read the
whole of IL; YOU won dnd anything
wrong IN II, It l. the resul, Of much
labor on the par, Of one hundred Of New
MeNico's picked men. They sought to
do the best they could for the new state.
and they had the constitution of most
OF the states of the Union to aid them in
framing a fundamental Law on these
subjects that would fall ~ equitably on
the taxpayers Of the new state a. poss.

Had an Easy Victory Over New
port Saturday. Some Star
Playing by LeVasseur.

The result of a summers train
ing in the local contests of base ball
is well illustrated in the achieve
ments of the All Stars when they
meet teams from other towns in
this section. Saturday they placed
another. clean victory to their credit
when they defeated the Newport
team eleven to three. The Newport
boys played clear through the game
but they were no match for the All
Stars.
LeVasseur is proving to be the
star of the All Stars and is develop
ing into an effective all round play
er. Saturday he struck out II men,
made IA assists, three base hit and
gave only two bases on balls. After
finishing this game he pitched fol
the Freight Shed team and struck
out seven men in that game. His
three base hit was the most effective
one of the game with Newport
Wright and Salman on first an6
second bases and LeVasseur's hi
/ let them score.
The score:
