AN OPINION ON
SECTION LINE ROADS

Santa Fe, Jan. 29-Assistan
Attorney General Harry S. Clan
cy has handed down the following
opinion regarding the enforce
ment of the fence law, which is
of much interest, especially ir
eastern New Mexico:
Mr.. Frank Browning,
Moriarty, N. M.
Dear Sir:-I am in receipt of
your letter of the oath inst, as
to the establishment Of roads up
on section lines, and whether it
is permissible to close the same
by gates.
Roads upon township and Sec
tion lines, like any other roads
where the same is in private
ownership, can be established
only upon making compensation
to the owner for the land taken.
If the land along such line is not
private property, but still belongs
to the United States, it is equally
clear that the legislature could
not appropriate it to use as a
road without the consent of the
federal government. There is
an cid statute of New Mexico,
Section 1929 of the compiled laws
OF 1897, which provides that
when practicable the county
commissioners shall declare all
township and section lines public
and where there is no
improvement, no compensation
shall be paid for such highways.
70 enforce such law as this
would be in violation of the con-
stitution Of the United States,
which declares that private prop
erty shall not be taken for public
use without just compensation,
and would also be in violation of |
the constitution of New Mexico, |
which declares that private prop
erty shall not be taken or
damaged for public use without
just compensation.
Yours truly,
H. S. Clancy,
Assistant Attorney General. |

ROSS GARCIA
MURDERED

A shocking tragedy occurred
at Torreon about seven o'cIocl
yesterday evening, as a result o;
which Ross Garcia is dead ant
his daughter, Mrs. Enriquei
Salas, lies at the point of death
The particulars as near as they
can be obtained at this time are
as follows:
Salas and his wife were hav'
ing alteration in the back YARD
of their home which attracted
the attention of neighbors. The
trouble eliminated in Salas pick
ing up an ak and striking the
woman in the top of the head
with the blade, cutting through
the skull and into the brain. He
then ran into the house, The
neighbors Informed Garcia, who
went to the house. Sslas was
waiting for him with the ak and
struck him with the back of the
AK as he entered the door. crush
ing the skull.
DR.. WiedeRanders was sum-
moned from Estancia. Mr.. Gar
cia expired about the time Of the
doctors arrival,
Salas was taken into custody
by men who we're about the
place, but q discussion arising
as to whether they had a right
to hold him without a warrant,
he was liberated pending the is
suance of a warrant, and he es-
capped and at this writing has
not been recaptured Officers
are securing the country and
guarding routes of escape from
the mountains, and it seems
probable that be will be taken.
Ross Garcia has held the
friendship and esteem of all his
acquaintances, both among the
native people ard the Americans.
He was accounted one among the
very best men of the Spanish
Americans in the country, and
naturally feeling runs very
strong against the murderer.
Salas and his wife have been
married about two years, and
there is one child.
Mrs. Salas after lying in a
stupor during the night, re-
covered consciousness this morn
ing, and the doctor says there is
a possibility, though slight one,
of her recovery. The fact that
she is pregnant reduces her
chance to the lowest point.

IMPORTANT TAX
DECISION

santa re, N. M, FeD. I'M
momentous tax decision wa
handed down today by Distric
Judge E. G. Abbott, which af
fects every county and every
head of a family in the state
should the decision be
sustained by the state
supreme court. In the case OF
Jose Maria Camoza vs.. the treas.
urer and collector Of Santa Fe
county, filed only last Saturday,
which was brought to test the
construction placed upon the 5000
exemption statute by Attorney
General Frank W. Clancy, Judge
Abbott ruled that 5000 exemp-
tion should be taken from the
taxable and not from the gross
assessment as the assessors and
tax collectors have been doing
throughout the state.
Judge Abbott, who is a former
member of the state legislature,
declares that the legislators
plainly intended that the relief
afforded by the exemption should
go to the taxable assessment. At
the same time Judge Abbott
handed down an order granting
the request of county commits
sioners resembling eight mills of
the tax levy made by them and
already collected in part.
This leaves the tax situation
in greater confusion than before
for the county treasurer has al
ready given the city its share of
the tax collected and it is likely
that this has been paid out. In
other words, the Conscientious
taxpayer who made a full re-
turn and found his assessment
raised above it's real value, first
had to make an affidavit and
have the district attorney secure
the proper reduction for him.
Then, in order to benefit by the
eight mills reduction, he had to
bring proper proceedings both |
against the county and the city. |
Now, after Judge Aboott's de-
cision, he must go through some
more red tape to get the excess
he paid on the exemption. If
the supreme court should rule
against the horizontal raises
made by the state board of
equalization next week, he will
have to go again to get another
refund, and all because ne was
honest in making his return and
prompt in paying his taxes.
The suggestion has been made
to Governor Mcdonald that he
appoint a non, partisan tax COM
which, in the light of
the information now available
and the court decisions, could
draft a suitable tax law, have the
bar association pass on the law,
call together the leaders in all
parties in both houses of the
legislature and get their consent
to its passage, and then call a
special session of the legislature
80 as to gain an entire year in
the application of the law, in
stead of waiting for the regular
session which would be more dis
posed to play politics than a spe-
cial session.
The attorney general has ap-
pealed from Judge Abbott's de-
cision.
