EYLlR WILLING To CUT ASSESSMENTS,
IF THE PEOPLE WANT It THAT WAY
Will Call Meeting for Discussion soon as State Rate
Is announced-Ex- Mayor Sweeney Again Calls
Attention to the Inequality of Taxes in Texas
And Says the Rate is nlegal-Cut Assess
ments and Raise Rate, He Says, and
Save Money to Taxpayers.

s2S.oOo. OOO-from $4,000. 900 to about
$4,000, 600 This amounts 10 an
average increase OF FOUR and a halL
million dollars a year and the excess
in taxes paid into the state lreasury'
over the amount the people We're pay
ing on the 1906 basis of assessment
has been S375, 900. This is just money
that was taken away from the peo-
pie of FL PasO and given to the state
of Texas, TO be distributed among the
counties of the state that do not prop
erly assess their property.
Assessments have been increased
in Ell Paso county and the tax rate
lowered. If the assessment valuations
were lowered and the tax rate IN
creased, IL would amount TO the same
to the county finances and It would
save the people Of FL Paso county hav-
ing to pay this extra money into the
state treasury. The property owners
heally pay more on low tax rate and
a higher valuation than they would II
the tax rate was raised and the as
sessment rate left alone"
AS an example of judge Sweeney S
argument the following may be cited
Two years ago an Alta vista nome
owner was assessed at $1,000 by the
civ. and the tax rate was $3.50. This
year the city announced with much
apparent pride that the tax rate had
been lowered TO S1SS, but the Alta
Vistan was notified at the same time
that his easement had been increased
to $4,000 and when he protested, was
told that all property in his district
had been advanced in ike manner
Under the old assessment. he had only
paid $3.50 taxes on his home at Sl.SO.
Under the new assessment, at a re-
duced rate Of taxation, ne pald me ne
city taxes in the amount of 1880
None Of this went TO the state, but 1t

Phoenix, Ariz, Aug. 1S-More than
so days have passed since the end Of
the third special session of the Arizona
legislature, and the time for filing
referendums against bills passed at
that session is over.
The three cent fare bill, county divis-
ion measure, county seat removal act,
and part of the penal code have been
referred to the people at the general
election of 1914, and are suspended till
that time. There are 3487 names on the
three cent fare referendum petitions;
1857 voters signed to refer part of the
penal code; 1897 to refer county seat
removal and 2195 to refer county di-
vision.
That section of the penal code which
has been referred is the one taking
from the governor the power TO re-
prieve, pardon and parole criminals and
placing it in the hands of a board
To date the petitions filed to initiate
an anti-Capital punishment law bear
2342 names, which is more than enough.
