string across the living room.

much, amusement was afforded

EDUCATION IN
REACH OF ALL

Time was when a liberal ed
ucation for ones sons and daugh-
ters meant long separation; miles
OF travel and expense that meant
serious pinching at home to meet
the bills. That time is past and
the father or mother who serious
ly wishes to give the boy or girl
a liberal education generally can
do it if there is a will to do it. 1t
is not alone the boys and girls of
this generation who are fortunate
in this regard. The parents are
fortunate too; for education is
not the terribly costly item of
family expense it once was. The
fact is brought home by an ad-
vertisement in this issue of the
News-Herald announcing the
opening on January l of the Sec
ond semester of the state univer-
sity at Albuquerque. The uni
versity authorities invite cor:
respondence with the parents of
New Mexico, and it would seem
to be the duty Of every thought
full parent to investigate care
fully the splendid opportunities
the state has provided for our
children in this institution. 1t
provides as broad and thorough
educational facilities as can be
had in any of the great colleges,
and living costs at the university
have been brought so low that
any father who can maintain his
children at home can maintain
them at the state university. 1t
is not only the parent of boys
and girls of college age who
should be getting acquainted
with the state university; the lit
tie tots will be ready for college
almost before we know it, and
they, too, have a right to de-
mand flying start in life; the
kind of a start that is now pos
sible for every parent to give his
children.

A company has been formed
backed by Cleveland, Ohio, cap

found some favorable indications,
but do not enter into particulars.

TORRANCE COUNTY
TAX RAISES

The State Tax Commission ha
been busy with the assessmen
rolls of the various counties TO
some time, and has just made it
report. Very radical raises wer'
made in some of the counties
The raises made in this county
were the third lowest in the
state, which is a very fine com
! pliment for Assessor Salazar anG
his assistants.
While the raises and changes
made in this county were small,
yet they were sufficient to make
it necessary for the board of
commissioners to revise the tax
levies, which was done at a meet
ing held yesterday.
One. of the changes which
seems unjust but which is said
to be according to the law is the
striking from the rolls $500
acres Of land assessed at SIS
per acre, and $500 acres as
sessed at So per acre, belonging
to the First Savings Bank and
Trust Co. of Albuquerque, be-
cause this land is said to be rep
resented and taxed in the capital
stock of the company. Under
this ruling if an outside corpora
tion owned all the land in the
county there would not be an
acre of assessable land in the
county. This land stricken from
the rolls represents an assessed
valuation of $36, 160.
The merchandise of Mccoy &
Co. at Mountainair was reduced
from So, ,695. 81 to So, 16O.46. The
balance of the appeal of this com
pany was dismissed and the as
sessor's figures approved.
In the matter of the land held
by H. W. Kelly as trustee, 1884
acres was ordered assessed at
81. SO per acre, and the balance,
approximately 5000 acres was
reduced to So per acre.
Cattle were raised 10 per cent,
sheep 15c per head, automobiles
5 per cent and merchandise 40
per cent. The following were
exempted from this flat raise:
j. L. Stubblefield, Estancia
Lumber Co., Mountainair Mer-
camille Co., Mountainair Lumber
Co., A. ]. Koury, G. w. Bond &
Bro, The Walter Co., Kinsell
Live Stock Co., White & Laws,
W. R. Orme, E. A. Vondevelt,
Willard Mercantile Co., T. Tabet.
The following specific raises
and additions were made, which
includes some of those exempted
from the fiat raise:
Jose M. Torres, $3.50
R. H. Coulter, 81, $3.50
Julian Sanchez, $40, 800
