The Clovis News in its efforts
to defend the masses of the
small taxpayer has been severe
ly cri ticised by the big corpora
tions of late. Nevertheless, the
Clovis News has always been a
Peoples Paper" and has never
shirked its duty to the public for
city, county or land office con-
tracts and will continue to fight
it out on that line. We said
sometime ago that the tax situa-
tion in New Mexico is badly
muddled through the recent law
and that no remedy is in sight
except to have new legislation.
1t is within the power of the
lawmakers to enact a statute
that will be really beneficial in
solving the much vexed problem.
and which will relieve the tense
situation whereby the small
property holder is paying more
than his just share of the taxes.
On this point Attorney -Gener-
al Clancy made the following
pertinent remarks which will be
appreciated by every taxpayer
and every x-dodger in New
Mexico:
'The result is, however, that
the owners of small amounts OF
property, which cannot be read
lily concealed or overlooked, are
compelled to pay more than
their fair share of taxes, while
the man or corporation owning
extensive or varied properties is
able to escape anything ap-
preaching his fair share.
Ihe representatives or suct
large property-holding interests
do not want any improvement il
methods Of assessment, and fol
that reason. and for no other,
we have not been able to gel
any such improvement. But un-
fortunately the newspaper edi.
tors who should be on the look
out to protect the masses oi
the small-taxpayers seem to be
occupied more particularly in
helping the county commissions
ers to cement an impenetrablC
graft ring.

The new rates for mailing
packages up to twenty pounds
by parcel post will be a big
thing for the local merchants
who take advantage of the low
rate offered. And at the same
time itwill not injure the local
merchants by granting competi-
tive rates to the mail order
houses. Packages of twenty
pounds can now be mailed to
anyone within the first zone for
15 cents and into the second
zone for "a cents. This gives
the advantage of cheap rates to
the local merchants, which is
not to be enjoyed by the long
distance mail order house. The
live merchants win get busy"
and make use of this advantage
to the fullest extent.
The use Of ample advertising
space in connection with the
parcels post win build up the
merchants mail order business

An interesting letter has been re-
ceiyed by the Detroit Housewives
league from Mrs. G. r. Pifer, OF Kinder
hook. Mich. wherein she states that,
there is no reason why the farmer OF
today should not keep himself posted
as to the daily rise and fall, In the
prices OF the things, he has TO sell.
He takes a daily paper and reads II,
too. The modern farmer counts the
cost OF what he raises and knows
how much II must bring II he is to
make living. Mrs. Piper labors un.
der the impression that the House
wives league condemns the farmer,
for the high cost OF farm produce
This IL far from the facts I'm the case.
The league Is working To do away
with the several middlemen who. Ina
order TO make their profits, add to
the price paid 10 the farmer, TIL the
consumer is paying three and four
times the value OF the article pur-
chased, and the farmer is no richer.
