A Taxpayers League.

A correspondent of the Clovis
News suggests the formation of
taxpayers leagues in every
county in the state and their
amalgamation into the state
league which will include every
citizen who is dissatisfied with
the taxation situation.
This would form quite q
strong organization numerically. :.
since it would include every
taxpayer in New Mexico and q
large number of gentlemen who
never have paid any taxes and
never will. through lack of the
wherewithal with which to ac-
quire taxable property.
The suggestion 10 interesting
as indicating the awakening Of
public sentiment to the impera-
tive necessity of doing some.
thing" about the taxation situ-
alton. When all the people be-
gin to talk tax reform whether
they pay taxes or not. we are
going to have tax reform. wise
or unwise.
Taxpayers leagues have been
effective in other states in
arousing public sentiment and
forcing action by state govern
ments. As a means to promote
discussion and educate the
people doubtless they would
prove efficient in New Mexico.
The most effective taxpayers
league. however. would seem to
be an organization of resolute
voters, who. after viewing thir-
ty years of legislative struggle
with our taxation problem in
New Mexico. during which the
taxes have grown constantly
more burdensome for the small
property owner while the rich
individual and the rich corpora
ton has found it an increasing
ly easy matter to dodge his fair
share of the burden would re-
solve to try an entire new deal.
and elect a legislature composed
of business men who would
tackle this problem on business
principles and, working in har.
mony with the executive, reach
as clean and fair a solution of
the problem as can be hoped
for in any system of taxation.
It certainly is worth trying. =
