Japanese Labor Cheap, but Not Good
Selected by EDWIN MARKHAM.

T NEVER glance into Clarence
Poe's book. Where Half the
World Is waking Up" with
out finding some interesting view
of the human problem. This vista
of Japanese labor is timely:
In the very outset. the as
sumed parallel between Japan's
rise as a military power and her
predicted rise as an industrial
power should be branded as the
groundless non sequitur that it is.
All our present has its roots in
the past as my first Japanese
acquaintance said to me; and we
ignore fundamental facts when
we forget that, for centuries I'M
numbered, Japan existed for the
soldier, as the rose bush for the
blossom. The man of martial
courage was the goal of all her
striving, the end of all her ira
vail. Society was a military aris-
tocracy, the Samurai the privi-
legged class. And at the same time
commerce was despised as dis
honorable and industry merely
tolerated as necessary evil.
Tn the race she has to run,
moreover. the Mikado-land has
no such advantages as many Of
our people have been led to be-
lieve. In America it has long
been my conviction that cheap
labor is never cheap; that So
called cheap labor is a curse to
any communicates because it is
cheap, but because it is inefi-
cient, The so-caIled cheap negro
labor in the South, for example, I
have come to regard as perhaps
the dearest on the continent.

theory would not hold good. By

tages Gin so far as there are
any, and few of the disadvan-
tages, encountered elsewhere. But
1t is not so. An American fac
tory owner in Osaka, summing
up his Jobs trials with raw jap
anese labor, used exactly my own
phrase in a newspaper article a
few days ago. Cheap labor is
never cheap And all my investi-
cations have convinced me that
the remark is as applicable in
Japan as it is in America or Eng
land.
The per capita wages of Japa-
nese laborers in Japan are, OF
course, amazingly low. The latest
1910 statistics of Japan, as fur
nlshed by their Department of
Finance, indicates a daily wage
-'AInerlcan money! of 40 cents
for carpenters. 81 IA cents for
shoemakers. "a cents for black
smiths rs 1-2 cents for COMPOST

laborers and % cents for male

In the cotton factories I visited,

But in spite of the fact that

Since there has been no material in
crease in the valuation of property for
taxation this year over last year, it is
not probable that more than third of
the live stock in the state has been as.
sessed this year and that not more thar
third Of itsreal value.
The figures gathered by the reprere-
sentatives Of the railroads throw some
direct light on land values. Land trans
fers, as shown in the records Of tie
various counties of the state, was
looked up and the consideration men,
toned in the deeds as noted, together
with the number of acres or lots trans
ferred Asis well knownit happens ire
qlently that the consideration men
toned in deeds is much less than tie
actual consideration SO that it may be
presumed that. the consideration as
named in the deeds is considerably less
than the real values of the land trans
fetred.
The total number of transfers of
acres and lots in 1913 reported was /,
0e2 and the consideration named in the
deeds was 80 $50. .O79. These lands were
assessed at s4o2, 199, or about one-sixth
Of the named consideration OF the
above transfers there were 202, IT'S
acres transferred and the average con-
sideration per acre named in The deeds
was 90 The average at which this
same land was assessed was $l.67 per
acre, or less thon IL per cent of the
consideration named in the deeds. This
may be taken as a representative Of
the land values generally over the
state, that is to say that the land is as
sessed at about one-sixth of it's true
value as contemplated by law, 1t is
plain that the law has been failure
as far as the assessment of property
this year is concerned. There has been
no perceptible improvement either in
the assessment Of property which has
hitherto escaped assessment or in the
value of property which has been as
sessed, except as to railroad property
and it is obvious that property of this
kind cannot be concealed.
It is apparent that there must be a
change in the method Of assessing pro-
perty in this state and it might be we'll

Tax Inequalities.
(From Santa re Eagle)


pergted to substantially increase tn
assessed value of property in New
Mexico as it was confidently expecte'
! BY its friends that it would and, conse
| quently, reduce the rate Of taxation
Before the law was passed the assessed
valuation Of property in the state dit
not exceed l6 per cent Of the aetua
value The new law provided tnat al
property should be returned at its
EfuIl value and that the assessed val.
Use should be on one-third of the true
value The returns for this year show
that the inctese in the value Of proper
ty III the state, other than railroad pro-
perty, for purpo3es Of taxation, is less
than half million dollars.
! Some very valuable information in
reference to the assessment Of proper
ty in tie state has been gathered by
representatives Of the railroad com
panies operating in the state. This in
formation has beer compiled and print
Cd for the use Of the board Of equali
cation. At the time the pamphlets
were printed the tax rolls of Dana
Ana county had not been completed,
indeed these rolls were not received
here until this week. On account of
this delay on The part Of the assessor
Of Dona Ana county, figures for only
twenty-five counties have been COM
piled
The total valuation Of all property
assessed in the state in 1918 was
about eight million dollars more than
in 1912 Of this increase about seven
millions were IN railroad property and
the. remainder, something less than
half a million, in other property.
The increase in the valuation Of pro-
perty other than railroad property was
inconsiderable, SO that the assessment
for 1918 may be fairly compared with
that Of 1912 on all poperty in the state
other han railroads. In this connection
the proceedings OF the board of equali-
cation is illuminating, Among other
things stated in the proceedings Of the
board at its meeting last October is
as follows:
"The n ost serious troubles are in the
obvious differentiation of property,
and in the equally obvious omission Of
large amounts of property in the state.
"The total net valuation, as shown
by tie tax rolls, Of all kinds Of pro-
perty is s7s .457, 45i. %, while no well
Informed person would estimate the ac-
tual value Of property in New Mexico
at less than $3.50, 900, 900.
''The total number Of sheep shown
by the tax rolls in the state is |, 49,
6g1, which is an increase over the num-
Der shown last year, but there can be
no doubt that there's at leasts3, 500, 600
sheep in the state, the census of 1910
a,97o,922. In addition to this
Che average value is only Sl.50, so that
che total assessment Of sheep can not
be much more than one-sixth of the
real value Of all the sheep in the state
"The total number Of cattle in the
state, shown BY the tax rolls, is 1885,
sos, at an average valuation of S1165
per head, while the census shows that |
IN 1910 there were .095, S12.
