REVERENCE FOR
VETERANS IS
URGED
ARTICLE IN MAGAZINE CALLS
FORTH REMARKS FROM
OLDTIMER

Judge E. V. Long, at his office this
morning, was speaking of patriotism
in the abstract, and grew reminis-
cent when he recalled incidents of
the Battle Above the Clouds, stimulat-
ed by an article in the current issue
of the American Magazine.
How prone we are, in this busy
life to overlook, if not forget, the vet
e1ans and pioneers, both in military
and civil life, to whom the country
is SO much indebted. This magazine
article brings this to mind by the
publication Of a short biography OF
General Peter J. Osterhaus, a veteran
of the civil war. He is now 81 years
old, hale and hearty in mind and
body, living at his home on the Rhine.
"There are but four surviving major
ger erals of the Union army of the
civil war; Generals Greenville M.
Dodge, aged SO; James II. Wilson,,
aged rs; Nelson A. Miles, aged 76,
and General Osterhaus.
"At Chattanooga 1t was the division
of Grose and Osterhaus that made the
famous attack on Lookout mountain,
fighting their way for two hours up
tire steep mountain side through deep
ravines, over rocks and fallen trees,
urtil they finally assaulted and car
1isd the earthworks on the plateau,
driving back the confederates.
Such heroes should ever be re-
membered. There is at least one old
soldier, and perhaps more, in Las
Vegas that participated in that charge,
who will be glad to know that the
cid general is in the land of the
living.
"In the early days our boys and
girls were taught to recognize, re-
we're and do honor to the veterans.
SO should 1t be now"

Santa Fe, Aug. 25.-The state board
of equalization will meet late today,
providing the republican state conven-
tion gets out of the way in time, to
pass on the appeals argued before it
and possibly to jack up the entire re-
turned valuation to $300,000000 or
more so that the taxable assessment
of the state will be $l00,000Q00.
The 26 counties have returned
total valuation of $26S, ,349,SS6 as.
against -$25ss4Ge,C60 last year, gain

$S4OS6,51S last year, gain of $3.095,-
1872. The net gain on corporate prop
erty fixed by the board has been
1861 ,023. The taxable assessment
after the raises ordered by the board
last year was $91, 1,745,709.
The Pullman and express companies
are assessed at $45,15S, a gain of
$74,15S. Automobiles show a phe-
nomenal increase from 612 last year
to 1,S40 this year, or from a valua-
tion of $33S,166 to sS17.O10 or 10S.53
per cent, which may account for the
decrease in many other classes of

VALUATION MUST
Be BASED ON
FACTS
DISTRICT ATTORNEY WAR D
SPEAKS ABOUT THE TAXA
TIoN QUESTION

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Aug. 25.-"One of
the most serious defects in our pres
ent revenue laws begins with the as
sessment feature" said District Attor-
ney Charles w. G. Ward of Las Vegas,
in discussing the tax situation today
Under system which requires 26
assessors and county boards to act
independently in fixing values well
night insuperable difficulties must al
wavs be encountered. In my opinion
the remedy lies in a central assess
ing board.
"All property should be assessed at
its actual value for taxable purposes
and a limitation placed on the tax
rate"
"There should be an amendment
making it compulsory for the collector
to distrain on personal property for
taxes due on both realty and personal
ty.
'The present law provides that tax
sale certificates shall be advertised
and sold to the highest bidder, but for
not less than the face value OF the
certificate and interest. But in hun
dreds of instances the certificates can
not be sold and the taxes remain de-
linouent and uncollectable on the rolls.
The law should provide that in the
event or failure to sell the certificate
for value to a private individual, the
county or state should after three
years become the absolute owner
"The former law providing that a
sale of property for delinquent taxes
shall not be void for Irregularities in
assessment, description or other tech
n;cal errors, should be restored"
Mr.. Ward, although he has been a
prosecuting officer for eight years, ex-
pressed the belief that the present
criminal libel law should be wiped
cut entirely. "The theory upon which
libe. is made crime is that it leads
to breaches of the peace" he said.
This doesn't hold true in fact. If a
certain type of man is libeled IN a
certain way. he will break the peace
lust as quickly when there is a
libel law as when there isn't. The
man who goes to court to prosecute
for oriminual libel won't break the
peace anyway.
I'm my district in eight years only
one libel case +as been prosecuted
and that for particularly bitter and
luniustifiable attack on county ofti-
Ger. don't agree with those who
urge that we should have libel law
but should leave people free to say
whatever they wish about officers
About the only possible excuse thai
can be given for a criminal llDel la"
lis that protection may be afforded tc
men v ho, on account of their position
are pal ticularly liable to attack anc
who cannot as we'll defend themselves
as people in private life. There should
certainly be no more justification fol
calling a man a thief because he
hclds a responsible public position
than in the case of a private citizen
and in the former case Injury is done
il the charge is false, to whole com
munity, county or state. But | don't
believe hauling the offender through
the criminal courts is the proper rem
edy in any case. l don't believe the
law has been abused in New Mexico
but II has always appeared to me
that the matter should be left to the
civil courts"

Apparently CarOlinians Have Made
Deep impression on Members of Or
ganization Board in Charge of Re-
serve Organization.
(By Staff Columbia State


Atlanta, Feb. 14.-If the manner
OK the regional bank organization
committee towards the four spokes-
men for Columbia this morning can
De taken to have a meaning, it is a
lalr conclusion that a better impress
sion was made upon them in behalf of
columbia than by the Witnesses for
Atlanta or Chattanooga, the two cities
heard from before the departure Of
the Columbia delegations. at 1910
p. m., today, for home. The Colum-
blans were not subjected to anything
resembling the politely inquisitorial
proceedings that gentlemen of the
other cities had to undergo and the
very good reason for their escape was
that their arguments were brief, free
Of redundancy and exactly to the
point. They were abundantly pre-
pared to show that the district which
they proposed to be constituted Of
FLORIDA, southeastern Georgia. the two
Carolinas, the southwestern end Of
west Virginia and the District Of Co.
lumbia would be self-sustaining and
that seemed to be the assurance that
the committee wished to have and
which Atlanta yesterday, in spite Of
painful writings, was unable to give.
al, u;
Manning, Taylor and Watson were
heard. They stressed the Importance
Of a district running North and South
along the South Atlantic seaboard,
showing that Columbia would be more
nearly the centre of it than any other
city, as Savannah, Charleston and all
Florida would be remote from any
site of the bank further north. They
also emphasized that this district be-
ing partly in and partly out of the
cotton belt, some sections would be
borrowing while other would be lend
ing at different seasons, a fact OBJ
viously not true Of q district who'll
within the cotton region.
Mr.. Williamson, president Of the
South Carolina Bankers association,
not being well, Mr.. Manning presented
his very capital argument. Mr.. Mat.
thews filed his argument without read
ing it and on account Of the absence
OF Mr.. Rhett Of Charleston and Mr..
Clark, arrangements were made for a
supplementary hearing in Charleston.
The arguments Of South Carolinians
undoubtedly made a favorable impress
sion, although nothing whatever is to
be predicted about the action Of the
committee.
