EHYATCHING New Ne

w tax question, one becomes all the more ore
strongly confirmed in the conviction that
almost all existing tax systems are crude Intellectual
and nequitable the last degree New Mexico is 10
than otaer states in this respect except that
New Mexico has for many decades pursued policy
OF absurd differentiation, that it is going to be
hard to adjust herself to more modern policy.
Kew Mexico has been doing herself great injustice
by her unwse policy In the United States
reports state tax rates per 800 assessed
valuation New Mexico always appears to have the
highest tax rate among all the 4e commonwealth
fouT times the rate of Ohio and Kansas for example
nearly four times that Of Texas, three times the rate
Of Oklahoma ard Virginia, nearly three times the rate
Of Oregon double the of California and Indiana,
and
It requires considerable analysis to ascertain that
New Mezcos rate Of assessment is perhaps the lowest
IN the United States thus making It necessary to apply
an extra high tax rate to obtain the necessary
New Mexico undoubtedly suffers in the comparison but
1t Is her Own fault and the fault is not very hard
remedy.
New Mexicos tax system is exceedingly crude but
except for the matter OF unreasonaby low basis Of
assessments, II Is probably than that of nine
tenths OF the states Nor United States worse
in this respect than most other countries The plain
fact IS that tax systems have responded less to the
spirit Of scientific rational progress than any other
institution in the world, unless It be that of war
Why this IS so is not easy to analyze. Il would
seem at first glance If the tax question IN itself
were not much intricate than that Of currency
and money, for example. Yet IN many parts Of the
world money and currency system scientific and
rational IN greater less degree has been established
Not with taxation Almost everywhere one rule and
one only applies when you get right down to bedrock
and that rule IS, Take what you get, where YOU
can find it. regardless of right justice wisdom science
equity, ultimate effect.

Labor Union Man Says Alien Labor Law Violated

Editor FL Paso Herald.
Some months ago I had a little cor
respondence with secretary Of labor

aliens on government reclamation pro-
1ects IN this vicinity. when so many OF
our own citizens were idle and beg
ging for any kind OF work Secretary
Wilson's advice that I make use OF the

Information from various sources has

For President Wilson, of

Defense Claims That Accused Faces
No Penalty for Selling Liquor
Under Void" License.
CITES OTHER ARGUMENTS

The District Anti-Saloon League
yesterday commenced its legal war
fare on liquor establishments alleged
to be operating in violation of law.
The leagues first case was placed
on trial in Police Court. NathanieI
Wilson. president of the exclusive
Metropolitan Club. being called on a
charge of selling liquor under a license
which was void.
The action was brought by the Dis
trict at the instigation of Andrew
Wilson. president of the league. As
sistant Corporation Counsel F.. H.
stephens appeared for the government
and Clarence Wilson. former United
States District Attorney, represented
Wilson.
Offers Four Arguments.
Mr.. Wilson contended that the law
makes no mention of any penalty for
selling liquor under license which
is null and void. He would not con-
cede. however. that the Metropolitan
Club license was void.
He also declared that the District
was stopped from continuing the
prosecution as ii had received a license
fee of $500. and had so disposed of
the amount that it would be impossible
to refund II without a special act of
Congress.
Mr.. Wilson's third point was that
the Excise Board was i qua si-judcial
body and that its decisions. being final
and conclusive, could not be attacked
in a criminal proceeding.
The fourth point advanced by the
defense was that the provision in the
Jones-Works law prohibiting the is
suance of licenses to places on streets
where less than so per cent of the
frontage represented business prop
erty applies only to saloons and not
to clubs.
