FIFTY PER CENT OF TAX
DODGERS.

xF A statement printed by the SAN
4 Fe New Mexican last week Is
\ correct; and Il may De ASSUMED
that II il. since II Is taken from the
books OF the state travelling auditor;
we have something very near TO fifty
per cent Of property IN New Mexico

Glance il would seem that such an
assertion could not be true by ana
possibility. But an analysis of the
statement referred 20 appears 10
prove that II is true. and TO prove
ID convincingg.
This statement asserts that at the
end Of the states f%lnancia. year May
goth. 1915, oply es.2O per cent Of the
1914 taxes mad been paid In. a de-
tailed statement Of percentages PAID
in by various counties was then
gIveE. ranging from 90 per cent ~
Luna county Il "a per cent In AN
doval.
Railroads and other pablic service
corporations hear "a per cent Of the
assessed valuation Of all property In
New Mexico. These corporations
whether properly assessed or not pay
their taxes promptly on the basis OF
the assessment and pay them In fun
The total state taxes are t4OOs,blt-
Sc for 1914. and Of this the public
service corporations have PAID about
t~I.ssO.000. leaving a little more than
s~s,s4o.0O0 for other property owners
10 pay.
The statement referred 10 shows

state ls even more serious than We
had been led TO believe. Certainly the
public service corporations. IL they
ever were tax dodgers. no longer can
be charged with evading their just

II our laws for the collection OF

situation outlined above would not be

public service corporations which can

~ Low progress Is reported in the

hampercd trading among neutrals
which is their right. The most re-
cent communication from England,
the Kansas city Journal points bat
Is a model Of courteous phrases vc-
neering the fact hat no relevant an

sensations OF u government In be-
half OF the freedom OF overseas com-
merce. The note Is so worded as to
make Il appear a distinct concession
to orr altitude. that British officers
have been instructed to be polite in
taking non-contraband eargoes to a
prize court.
That Great Britain contents itself,
as Ambassador Page says. with
merely an explanation OF concrete
cases n the regulations under which
they are dealt with" is evidence that
diplomatic circumlocution will be en-
ployed until 1t Is no LONGER possible
to avoid a definite answer 10 our de-
mands. II Is doubtless realized in
England that the advanced position
taken there cannot be justified In in
ternational law. A military advan-
tage Is not TO be lightly laid aside
however. until an possible means
have been employed TO keep It M

to be one requiring patience coupled
