ssTHE ColI1IIssIONERs, DUTY.7

''THE COMMISSIONERS DUTY
Editor FL Paso Herald:
As to the opinion Of the attorney
published in the last column of the
editorial page of the Sunday morning
paper can only say that the commits
siOners's court will manifestly violate
its duty if it adheres to its proposed as
sessment rate.
that court to assess property for tax
alton at its fair cash value, not at so
or so or 80 percent Of that value, but at
100 percent thereof; therefore, if the
court assesses property at so percent
instead Of 100 percent. as the attorney
seems to suggest the court will plainly
violate the letter Of the law.
The statutes and the constitution,
state and federal. both by their words
and in their spirit plainly require the
court to eQuaLZe values so that the
public burdens shall be equally dis
tributed Now if the average assess
ment rate of the whole state is 80 per-
cent Of the fair cash value and our
court should assess at the rate of SO
percent of such value, the result will
be that the court will fail between two
stools and neither comply with the law
nor do justice.
In the last six years this straddling
the issue has cost the citizens of this
county at least $4,000. AS to the
amounts received by this county from
the state, it is not denied that the
state does make some return to our
citizens. but nothing like the amount
which by the hands of our own com
missioners' court it is uniustly at
tempting to exact from them. whereas
some of the very richest counties OF
the state on q balance OF the account
pay nothing to the state, and at least
one of them. Ellis, gets from the state,
thousands of dollars.
Our court of civil appeals spends
most of its time in trying cases not
for our citizens, but for those of Ellis
and other tax lodging counties
We have not got the School of Mines
yet, and won't get it until we donate
to the state the site 1t is trying to
force US to accept. and as to the new
district court we have got one. and a,
good man to be the judge thereof. but
that judge only costs the state $1,000 a
year, and ii is making US pay at least
100000 a year for him. A few more
trades of that sort, and Ell PasO county
viii defray the entire expense of the
state government
To be consistent to have any defence
whatsoever for its action, the commits
sioners' court must do one of two
things Assess property at 100 percent
on the dollar or at the average rate
adopted by other counties, which IS
about 80 percent
As to the $751; 600 a year for the edu-
cation Of our school children. the at
torneV does not seem to remember that
a very great part of this comes from
the rent of public school lands. and
from the bonds belonging to the pub
lie school funds, and not from tax
atoms. As a matter of fact, on a bal
ance of accounts, the tax payers Of Ell
Paso county. are being taxed to edU-
cate the children of other counties.
