liens Of New York pay an exorbitant
price for coal. In the meantime there
are idle men in New Mexico who
would gladly descend into the tunnels
and drives and support their families
by digging coal al a fair wage, there
by developing for general use, that
coal land that is now vaIueless to
them and to the state. They would
earn living by honest toll, they
would bring the price of coal within
the reach of all and at the same time
the St. Louis, Rocky Mountain G Pa
cifc railroad, etc, would receive a
profit in keeping ,si...; hoasst business
methods instead Of taking out of the
state "alI that the traffic would bear"
There is absolutely no chance to re-
flute these statements, because they
are absolutely true and because they
would absolutely bring results. Assess.
ed upon a basis of real value, such
holdings as the St. Louis. Rocky
Mountain & Pacific and other con.
Germs have in this state, would pay a
just tax so that the small business
man, the merchant, rancher, farmer
and small home owner, could afford to
return their property at its honest
valuation and still they would pay
lesser taxation than they pay at pres
ent.. The man who rented house,
would receive 1t at cheaper rentals,
but the man who owned it, having less
taxation at both ends of the line would
make relatively just as much out Of 1t.
In other words, the tendency should
be to tax that which is retarding de-
veIopment of the state in a just pro-
portion to that which is building up
the state. The man who has the en-
terprise to erect building should not
be compelled to pay greater tax than
the man who owns lots next to It
which he will not improve, will not
sell except at excessive prices and
yet who reaps direct and imme-
date benefit from every building that
the man who is enterprising and pub.
lic-spirted puts up. The people OF

WOODEN SLAVES
CARRIED BY GUARD

Belfast, Ireland, Sept. 2S.-Sid Ed
ward Carson today wrote his name as
the first to sign the solemn covenant
OF the Ulstermen which binds them
to use all the means that may be
found necessary to defeat the present
conspiracy to set up home rule in
Ireland and also refuses to recog-
nize the authority of an Irish parlia-
ment. He was followed by thousands
OF the rank and file of the Orangemen
and Unionists in the northern pro-
vince of Ireland. Ulster Day, the
Orangemen's eliminating day of pro-
test against home rule, opened with
an absolute calmness that rendered
upionists and home rulers alike ap-
prehensive as to what might happen.

this state, who believe in this state,
who want to live in this state, who
want to make this state, must realize
that the basis of honest business and
of honest government is honest taxa
ton and that "stand in" with the
assessor and the county commission
ers must become i thing of the past
and when such conditions exist action
should be taken to do away with them
at once--such action must be concert
ed to succeed. Do you think it would
be fair proposition, we will say, to
place a tax of fifty cents year on
every fruit tree that is planted IN
New Mexico as against a tax of ten
cents year on every acre of fruit
land that is not developed? Would
that tend to make the fruit industry
in New Mexico big and growing re-
source or would it tend to ruin 1t?
Vet that is being done, indirectly in
this state, with the very vital in
dustries that alone can make this
state. state of homes, of living
wages, of just prices and of honest
government.
The New Mexican, in these short
articles, desires to place the true sit.
uation before the people of this state
without malice and without favor.
When it has completed these series,
this paper will suggest remedy for
this condition. 1t will be remedy
that is not new nor untried, but a
remedy that has been brought into
use in some of the greatest and most
prosperous states of the union today
and has proven most effective. Study
the situation for yourselves and any
communications on the subject Of tax
alton in this state will be glady re-
ceived by this newspaper. Think the
situation over in your spare time and
ask yourself, Mr.. Businessman, Mr..
Farmer, Mr.. Rancher, Mr.. Carpenter,
Mr.. Blacksmith, Mr.. Plain Citizen, are
we getting square deal under the
system that seeks to get out of it "aIi
the traffic will bear?"

PRIMER LESSONS ON
A TAXATION SYSTEM,


Taking up the question of taxation
from the view point of making assess
ment returns, it becomes apparent
that the small taxpayer must be gov
erned largely in his assessment re.
turns by the returns of the larger tax
payer. Even at that, he carries the
burden of the taxation when as mat
ter of simple justice, the large tax
payer who is holding immense tracts
of valuable lands, with undeveloped
resources, which are growing in value
daily as the necessity for their de-
veIopment increases. ought to carry
the bulk of the traffic.
The true basis Of all taxation is
land, because land can not be remov-
ed from state. Bonds can be remov-
ed. Currency can be removed. A
mortgage can be removed. In fact all
such properties can be removed or
concealed so that it is next to impos-
sibIe to tax them on any adequate basis.
But the land is here, the coal is here,
the timber is here, the water is here
and these things are the real basis for
taxation. For a concrete illustration
let US take the St. Louis, Rocky Noun
tain & Pacific, bonded in New York
fer $15,00O,0O0 and assessed here on
a valuation of $29O,Oo0. That is a
plain, and convincing argument as to
the necessity Of proper system of
taxation in this state. New Mexico
does not derive any taxation on the
Sic 100000 bond issue in New York
City. Whether the state of New York
derives a benefit, is something we do
not know out here and never will
know. But we do know that it is New
Mexico's real wealth that makes pos
sibIe that bond issue of $15,0OO,OOo
in New York and in return New Mex
leo gets in taxation an insignificant
per cent on $290,oo0. In the mean
time, the citizens of New Mexico pay
an exorbtant price for coal. The cit

The people of Ireland, even those re-
sponsible for today's signature of the
formidable league covenant had
looked forward to the days happen
ings with misgivings.
The weather was doubtful early in
the day, but before the Ulstermen
had begun to gather for the religious
services which preceded the signing
of the covenant, sunshine flooded the
streets.
The town was gaily decorated, the
union jack being everywhere pre-
dominant, one huge national flag en-
veloping the facade of Ulster Hall.
the center of todays proceedings.
Most of the shops and all the big
industrial works were closed so that
every man desiring to do so might
be able to participate in the mani
festation.
The spirit of unity prevailing
among the Protestant denominations
was illustrated by the selection of
the officiating clergymen. Rev. w.
Mclean, formerly Presbyterian mod
orator, preached the sermon, and he
was assisted in the services by min
listers belonging to the Anglican,
Methodist, Baptist and Congregations
al churches Sir Edward Carson sat
at the right of Mr. Mclean and the
lord mayor OF Belfast at his left.
A semi-military aspect was not
lacking in the meeting as 200 picked
stalwart members of the Unionists
club and Orange lodges, wearing
bright sashes, acted as a guard of
honor, standing around the pulpit
while 700 of what is known as the
reserve guard occupied seats in the

GIRL IN NUMEROUS JOBS
AT DETECTIVE WORK

restaurant for ten or eleven hours
a day is the latest undertaking of
Miss ella Emerson, young settle
ment worker, who has an income
of $4,000 a year. Her income
kept it from being tragedy when
she was discharged from a local
restaurant after four days SER
vice, for ineficiency. Miss Emer-
son put in the Christmas holidays
as a saleswoman in department
store.
Miss Emerson, who came here
from Jackson, 18 months ago, and
allied herself with the Women's
Trades Union League, is seeking
to ascertain the true conditions
under which women work in Chi
eago, and to find out if the ten
hour law is being violated.
1t was awful" confessed Miss
Emerson today. "The depart
ment store girl is lucky compared
to her sister who works the whole
day on her knees creeping about
the dirty floors in suds and slop.
The condition of these poor wo-
men is deplorable, and their pay
is pitifully small. No American
girl will do the work. All are for
eigners, and few can speak Eng
iish."
Miss Emerson's next expert
ence will probably be in factory.
When She completes her detective
work she will make affidavit be-
fore the superior courts as to VIC
lations, if any, of the ten-hour
law, and as to working conditions
