omlnous Reports

Washington, Oct. 7.-Despite con-
tinued ominous reports from Mexico
President Wilson was said today to be
confident that satisfactory settlement
will be reached between Carranza and
Villa. The long talk the president
had last night with Secretary Bryan
and Consul John R. Sillman was char
acterized at the White House as mere
ly a conference for information. 1t
was said that Mr.. Silliman would re-
turn to Mexico soon.
All of General Carranza's military
chiefs are still loyal, and the pros
poets for a peaceful solution of the
misunderstanding between CaTranza
and Villa are good. according to a
dispatch today from Mexico City to
the constitutionalist headquarters
here. The message added that the
cities of Saltillo. San Luis Potosi and
zacatecas remain loyal to Carranza.

published regarding the actions of the
state board of equalization, he says,
after quoting the raises of valuations
in the various counties of the state:
you will see that any inference
to the effect that San Miguel county
has been singled out in the matter of
raises ordered by the board Of equali-
zation or treated unfairly as compared
with other counties, is erroneous"
By this Mr. Lucero apparently
intends to lead his hearers to be-
heve that The optic has made such
an inference.
AS a matter of fact, The Optic did
not make any such accusation, either
by inference or insinuation. What
The Optic did do was to call atten-
tiOn to the utter disregard of certain
plain facts in the action Of the board,
tc-wit: That merchandise on which
an assessment had been levied at the
cost price could not properly or justly
be made to stand a raise in valuation,
and that if mortgages on land are as
sessed against the land, the land at
the same time paying tax on its
regular valuation, it would result in
a double assessment. The Optic stat
ed in the article that called forth Mr..
Lucero's screed that the tax should
be divided between the mortgage in
terest and the land interest, in order
to avoid a double tax.
Mr.. Lucero, though it was probably
fWthest from his miIld at the time,
was guilty of bit of unconscious
humor in his speech. when he said
that the board, when it discovered
that the total tax'levy in the state
was about four million dollars short
of what would be needed, proceeded to
make the blanket raises wherever 1t
could, to make up the deficiency"

We're it not for the fact that he has

Justice Murrays court to cashing
bad check, would have got three times

of the sorrow of the wife, whom the
Judge has known since she was a
little girl. Judge Murray made the
sentence 80 days in the county Jail.
This is the minimum punishment pre-
sCribed by the law.
Rupp passed check for S665 at
the Charles Greenclay establishment
Monday night. The check was drawn
upon the Peoples Bank and Trust
company. Rupp was arrested yes.
terday evening by Chief Coles, after
the check came back protested. Rupp
told the judge he had got into a poker
same and had lost all the money he
had made within the past few days.
He went to the Greenclay place and
cashed the bad check, after which he
reentered the card game; which was
in progress in another part of the
downtown district.
Judge Murray told Rupp he de-
served to be severely punished, but,
on account of the wife and baby, he
could not summon the hardness of
heart to give him long sentence.
Had the check been for an amount
over $40, the penalty would have been
a penitentiary sentence. Rupp came
here recently from Trinidad, where
he is said to have got into similar
tlouble some time ago.

LEVY CUT down
COMMISSIONERS DECISION WILL
MAKE THE PROPERTY OWN
ERS SMILE

The Mora county commissioners, in
making the levy for the coming fiscal
year, have reduced the assessment for
state and county purposes from 8
cents and 26 mills to cents. They
have further reduced the tax for road
purposes from mills to 1 mill, for
the reason, it is said, that the road
funds have not been spent in a way
that is considered advantageous. The
board levied tax of mills to be
turned into the state road fund for the
construction and maintenance of a
road from the San Miguel county line
to the Taos county line, to be built
and kept in repair by the state.

The Trib Has Reformed.-My at

that the Tribune has reformed. It's
this way-the Trib now is opposing
granting a special privilege to Levy
Mayer to violate the building or
dinance and put up a 26O-foot hotel
on Michigan boulevard, where the
Stratford now stands. In which the
Trib is right.
1t appears, however, that on March
25, 1901, the same Trib had an or
dinance passed by council as follows:
Be it ordained, ETC., Sec. 1. That
