MEXICO S SAD PLIGHT.

EXPreSident Diaz, who ruled Mexico
for 30 years, was despot, and he
undoubtedly used his position to enrich
himself. But he at least gave the
country peace, and with peace came
prosperity. Since his overthrow there

farms have been laid waste: cities and
towns have been destroyed; worst of

the taxing officials Of those various
cities. The system used in New York
is one derived, and in fact, personally
installed by Mr.. Somers, while en-.
pIoyed in the taxing department Of
that city
Whether or not the mathematical
application Of Mr.. Somer's unit Of val
ne is the most desirable. it is certain
" ~commendable from the viewpoint
of simplicity and common ense. The
Guy or taxing district is subhivided
into natural areas and a standard Of
unit value dcterined. The most val
rable property is chosen for such unit
and through every available source its
value determined. Real estate deal
,ers, commercial clubs, Improvement
clubs, taxing officials, etc, are all en-
listed in determining the value OF the
property unit. When a tentative unit
has been established, the public is TAX
Ell into the confidence of the officials
through the press People generally
are asked 10 Share in the problems OF
fixing the value Of certain properties
which are to be used as units. When
final and satisfactory valuations are
reached, a formula is worked out
whereby a scientific application is
made of the unit Of value to all the
property in the taxing district, or
some subdivision of it. 1t is said that
under the Somers formula the valua-
ton established meet with the uni.
form approval Of those best versed in
the valuation of property.
Buildings are divided into classes
and through exports their cost, value
ascertaincd. All buildings may be
subject to two kinds of de2rcciation:
T.. The actual physical depreciation
of the building, and, 2, the deprecia-
ton of the property brought about by
the shifting of the business and resi-
dent centers of the city. For instance
a business center may shift from Il
certain street and materially lessen
the value Of property. for office rooms
and retail purposes, or it may en-
croach upon the resident district and
greatly d%epreciate property as desir-
able homes. > FL
