BOARD DID NOT Want
TO HEAR The TRUTH
EQUALIZATION BODY REFUSES TO
ACCEPT INFORMATION RE.
GARDING LANDS

District Attorney Charles w. G..
Ward and County Commissioner John
III. York, in discussing yesterday the
action of the state board of equali-
zation in raising the valuation of graz.
ing lands in San Miguel county as.
sessed at So and less, pointed out
that the board had not only acted IN
an arbitrary manner, but, under a
we'll known supreme court decision.
had gone directly contrary to the laws
of the state. According to this rul-
ing no land shall be returned at a
valuation higher than what it is worth
in sale
In the latter part of August these
gentlemen, while attending a meeting
of the board in Santa Fe, offered to
put expert witnesses on the stand to
prove to the board that the grazing
lands in this county under discussion
and on which the board has raised
che valuation 80 per cent, had been
assessed at their full value. They say
that the board refused to hear the tes-
timony, and used its map Judgment,
which is akin to snap Judgment, |
boosting the valuations, in what it is
pleased to call an effort to equalize
between counties, fully 80 per cent
above the market An illustration of
the results of this map judgment, and
fhis merely in passing, Is the case of
certain lands in Mora county that
nave recently sold for 40 cents an
acre, and on which the county as
SCISSOR had placed valuation Of
$780, in an endeavor to placate the
state board. When the map was cali
ed into requisiton these lands were
boosted to $500
Both District Attorney Ward and
County Commissioner York assert IN
no unmistakeable terms that all the
grazing lands as well as all other
lands in San Miguel county have been
assessed at their full cash value.
They were ready to produce evidence
of this to the board at its session in
Santa Fe, but they assert, were de-.

STRUGGLES CLOSE

Santa Fe, n. NJ, Oct. 9-Although
the European war cut business for the
state corporation commission FOR Aug
ust and September to about half what
it was for those months last year the
September figues show a far Fn aller
decrease than Ito the August ones and
the insurance r, ceiptr were hardly az

Der business over H. August business
is taken as an indication Of how well
the state is recovering IRON the shGck
caused by the international conflict
and the consequent money tightness.
That the insurance receipts were

to be an indication that it WAS not so

catsed the failing off In the number
of new corporations as it was the op-
portunity offered for that money else
where when people can get good
interest for loaning their money" said
an official of the corporation board
this morning, "they are not going to
gamble on business and corporations, -
The August corporation fees last
year were s1.136.30 while this year
they were only SCAT, The September
fees last year were s6S1. 60, while this
year they we're $52O.50. The insurance
fees for 1918 were $165 in August and
1915 in September, while this year
they were $167 and $4S4, respectively
The large increase in September was
due to the licensing of the American
National Insurance company, and the
Western States Life Insurance com
pany to do business in the state.
For the months of this year up tc
the beginning of the war; early ir
August, the receipts of the corporation
commission had aggregated nearly

The Reason

The cotton crop this year Will be
the second largest ever raised in
this country. Fifteen million three
hundred thousand bales being this
years production again fifteen mil
lion six hundred thousand bales in
1912 The war in Europe has caused
a cessation of exports of raw cotton,
which under normal conditions amount
to about nine million bales year,
thus creating a serious problem as to
how the new crop can be financed
This was the reason that the BUY
tale of cotton" slogan was created,
which, as every one knows, has been
spread from one end of the country
to the other.
Various organizations, mercantile
and otherwise, together with numerous
individuals, are responding to the sug-
gestion that they buy one or more
bales of cotton and carry" their pur-
chases by paying warehouse charges,
interest, etc, until the cotton market
gets back to more normal conditions.
This movement, of course, has only
to do with the raw cotton; yet increas-
ed distribution of COTTON GOODS
will naturally HELP THE COTTON
SITUATION by INCREASING THE
CONSUMPTION OF COTTON BY
THE MILLS IN THIS COUNTRY.
This fact has been recognized by a
number of women in official circles
in Washington. These ladies have the
PAST week, formulated a plan under
Which the consumers of this country
will be urged to buy cotton goods.
Naturally to a movement of this kind
the retailers aid is essential, and the
big stores in each community have
been asked to enlist their support
This movement was started by Miss
Gepevieve Clark, daughter of Hon.
Champ Clark, Speaker of the House
of representatives. The committee
having the movement in charge in
Guides besides Miss Clark, her moth
er. Mrs. Champ Clark, Miss e. e.
Poe, secretary to Mrs. CLARK, Miss
Callie Hoke Smith, daughter of Sen
ator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, and
Miss Lucy Burleson, daughter of the
Postmaster General
We are !pleased to be the first
store in this section of the country
to aid this plan, for we feel that in
helping the cause of the cotton
growers, in this manner, we are also
aiding the cause or American manu-
facturers, who, since the European
shake-up have grasped the wonder
full opportunities for pushing Ameri-
can made goods, so that it appears
now that we will be able to supply
ourselves and send vast surplus of
our manufactured products to the
rest of the world.
