cumulate property or expend time,
energy and sense in New Mexico? A
provision for "tax commission" was
attempted to be got in the constitu.

from the systems then existing in the
states of Iowa, Wisconsin. etc. where
successful headWay had been made in
taxation and other matters. The prop

were afraid of it. It was left for the
first legislature. Without an amend.

The New Mexican
Santa Fe, N. M.
In the matter of your statement that
you would publish certain brief state
ments on the tax question in New
Mexico.
1t has occurred to me that a show
ing of interest in Roosevelt county
might be of value. The difficulty in
such matter is to be sufficiently brief
! have been calling the attention Of
our citizens to two items only, that
show on the tax roll for Roosevelt
county, for 1912. First-The item of
the total assessed property valuation
S1.e92,s63. Second-The item Of the
total annual tax money TO be collected d
therefrom, 500, 1888.
The two items, in my opinion, rep
resent and show miserable, if not
cruel absurdity. The item of tax to
be forced is, for this county, extrava-
CANT beyond decency. No such an
amount of money is needed to enable
our government, in time Of peace, to
perform its essential functions amonq
the six to seven thousand people in
the county. Besides, citizen may
rot accomplish anything by way of
court procedure. the recording of title
papers, be married, have children. die
or be buried except he be subject to
exorbitant fee charges. The whole
matter is SO absurd that it occurs to
the casual observer such as am.
that the whole so-caIIed System"
might better be abolished and "com-

London, Dec 11,--An obstacle was
encountered today among the Balkan
and Turkish plenipotentiaries gather
ed here to bring about peace, in the
absence OF Greece's signature to the
armistice protocol. The delegates
found it necessary to adjourn with
out effecting any real business. They
will not meet again until late o!
Thursday afternoon and in the mean
time will communicate with their gov.
ernmentS.
After their adjournment, Dr. S
Daneff, leader of the Bulgarian dele.
cation and president Of todays COR
ference, confirmed the report that the
question Of the protocol had been un-
der discussion without a decision be-
ing reached. 1t is understood that
the powers of the Turkish plenipo-
tentiaries do not authorize them to
recognize the Hellenic delegates un-
less Greece signs the armistice and
therefore they were obliged to refer
the matter to Constantinople before
proceeding with the conference,
The Greek representatives refused
to sign the protocol when invited to
do so today, pointing out that it would
make no practical difference, as the
allies We're united and the decision
of the conference would be binding
upon Greece as we'll as the others.
In speaking today on the subject of
foreign mediation in Balkan affairs,
Stojan Novakovitch the head of the
Seryian delegation said:
'The choice OF the United States as
mediator would be an excellent one.
The only fears in this connection are
that the distance of the United States
from the scene and its lack Of ,knowl-
edge of the different complex pFob-
lens agitating the Balkan peoples

traction Of money from small banks
throughout the country to New York
City when the money market shows
d high rate for loans was asked about
today by the house money trust in
vestigating committee
J. B. Nevin, an accountant for the
committee, presented mass of stats-
tics showing the amount of money
held for country banks by thirty-twO
New York banks and trust compa MES
and the amount of money loaned on
stock market securities III New York
City for these country correspondents
Mr. Nevins figures showed 1905
accounts for country banks in he
New York institutions. He explained
that because the banks would not fur,
hish to him the names of their coun-
try correspondents, some of the ac-
counts might be duplicated
In the thirty-two banks. Mir. Nevin
said, on November l. country banks
lad on deposit s4S3,0o0 600 and in ad-
dition had loaned on New York Stock
Exchange securities $24O, 100000. At
that time, he said, the money market
was high. On July |, with money easy,
he said, the country banks had only
Sl4l,02S,000 out in stock exchange
loans.
Before Mr. Nevin took the stand
Frederick Lewiston appeared and ans.

terday he declined to answer in con
