NEW MEXICO HAS
POOREST PEOPLE
IN THE COUNTRY
Per Capita Tax Assessment Is
but S220 While Arizona
Citizens Are Eight Times as
Wealthy

tspEcIAL ooRRuspoHDENcE TO MORNING JOURNAL
Santa Fe, Dee. 12.-New Mexico
per capita assessment for taxation
purposes is $219.S7, according to a
bulletin Of the census bureau just is
sued and entitled Financial Statistics
Of the States
It is the last in the list of the
states and as the assessment returns
are to be fun value under the law, it
appears that New Mexicos people are
the poorest in the United States. This
is the more remarkable because one
third of New MeXico's assessment is
on the railroads and railroad prop
erty, while coal and other mines bear
another large share Of the taxation.
The per capita assessment Of the
neighboring state of Arizona is eight
times as great, or to be exact, $1,64O,
while South Dakota, another agri-
cultural state, has a per capita assess
ment nine time as great as that of
New Mexico. or $3.50. New York is
first in total assessment, $13,1G0, 0,267-
250. Pennsylvania is second, Onto
third, Massachusetts, fourth and Cali
fornia firth, with $3,409,176,07S, or
more than ten times the assessment
Of New Mexico, although having only
five times the population
The same proportion holds good for
taxes paid. In no state of the union
is the amount of taxes paid per in
dividual so low as in New Mexico.
Similarly the expenses Of running the
state and its Institutions, is less IN
New Mexico than in any other state
