REASON NO. ---THE TAX RATE


Colonel D. K. B. Sellers, after his recent nomination
for mayor Of the City of Albuquerque by the remaining
part Of the Democratic Convention, made statement
which because Of its importance and his desire to be
correctly quoted, he had reduced TO writing.
In that statement. the Colonel said he had saved
the taxpayers Of this city Sl2700.00.
How was it done? Colonel give us the facts and
the figures. We are interested
TIE ASSESSED CITY VALUATION FOR 1912 WAS
S3,268, $500; for the year 1918, 536,675.00-an
increase o$1 1868 600. approximately 40 per cent;
more that one-thrd more than the valuation of the pre-
viOuS year.
DID THE RATE DECREASE 40 PER CENT? NOT
BY ANY MEANS.
Here are the tigures-the rate for CITY purposes for
1912 was little more than 10 mills, or to be exact
was 18 mills and thrtytWO hundredths: the rate for
1918 was IS mills and seventy three hundredthS-a
decrease over the year 1912 of mills and ffty-nne
hundredths
The taxes for city purposes for 9l2 on the as
Sessed valuation for that year amounted TO S59880l;
and for 1918 it was ST ,36189.
THESE FIGURES SHOW THAT THE TAXPAYERS
ARE ACTUALLY REQUIRED TO PAY 81 ,48I78 MORE
IN 1913 THAN THEY WERE IN 1912.
DON'T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT. Verify these
figures from The records.
TAKE YOUR TAX RECEIPTS FOR 1912 AND 1873
compare Them and you have the positive proof Of the
fact that the Colonel saved your taxes by making you
pay more this year than you did last

SCOTT WILL TAKE NO
MORE CARBOLIC ACID

Lewis E. Scott of Solomon, who
was released from the county jail at
Salina Friday evening after a COM
mission had decided that he was not
insane, is through with carbolic acid
as a means of committing suicide.
So he told the county officers, add
ing that the stuff burned too severe
ly. In fact Scott indicated that he
was through with attempts to take
his life and announced his intention
of going to the country, getting a
Job and putting in some good work
for some farmer in the harvest field.
1t also seems that Scott may for
get his trouble, which led to his
rash act. He was repulsed in his
attempt at love making and it Is
thought that his experience will
probably make him go slow here
after. The commission found that
this infatuation was what led him
to attempt to kill himself.
