DRY MATFRIAUsM FALSE.

The human spirit essentially does
not value money. or luxury, or even
comfort II may enjoy money and
what money can buy. but il does not
essentially value them. And tho
demonstration lies IN the fact that
men will forsake money. ablurc lux

abstraction, or conception of beauty

What a Bond Issue for Water
Would Mean to City Taxpayers

its and therefore do not pay city
tax.
The owners Of vacant property. the
owners Of merchandise Of All kinds
and indeed, the owners of every class
of property in The city, must pay irib-
ute whether they use water OF not,
The assessed value Of an property
within the city for the year Rl5 was
q little less than $4,000, 000.
Based upon this valuation and all
lowing for 30 per cent collection. a
levy of one min on the dollar would
produce Sl2.6Oo.
4 mill would replace the
loss OF taxes .......$ 5000. 90
l6 mills would provide for

Is mill would provide for

To put it differently. each 1000 of
assessed value would pay annually
For loss on taxes 0.40
For interest charge .....a..... SO
For sinking fund charge ........ 80
or a total OF s2.SO per $1,000 as
sessed value.
In other words each taxpayer Will
pay a special water bond tax Of $3.50
ON each $1,000 OF the assessed value
Of his property.
All of this produces no water. but
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1916-03-12

is a fixed charge. Everyone who used
water would have to pay for il at such
price as the city would he able to pro-
duee it; but who can say how much il
would cost the city TO produce water,
Il must be clear that the amount
Of tax to be paid bears no relation 10
the amount Of water used That the
taxpayer should voluntarily assume
such q burden is inconcelvablc.

WILSON IN FAVOR

great many pro ninent socialists will
either vote silently for the president
or win renonnce their party allegi

Max Eastman, one of their most

Masses, favors 80 strongly the re

day he gave the Woodrow Wilson
Independent league the following
statements:

Also that the time had come for
America to unite its progressive
forces. :" He said the leaders of the
opposition want only three things:
"The scalp of the comptroller of the
currency, John Skelton Williams; to
get control of the banking system of
the country and to put the army and
navy Of the United States back of
their financial enterprises in Mexico
and throughout the world
