COUNSEL
IN TAX SUITS MUST
EARN THEIR MONEY
PENALTY AND COSTS MUST
REACH COURT FUND BEFORE
LAWYERS WILL RECEIVE 5 PER
CENT

In an opinion written today for the
state tax commission, Attorney Gen
eral Harry L.. Patton holds that spe-
cial counsel employed to bring suits
for the collection of delinquent taxes,
under the provisions Of the delinquent
tax law passed at the last regular SEES.
sion of the legislature, cannot be paid
the 5 per cen of the tax penalty and
costs provided as their compensation
by law unless the penalty and costs
are actually paid into the court fund.
In other words, the efforts of the at
torneys employed must result in the
county receiving the penalties and
costs before they can be paid for their
services. Mr.. Patton's opinion fol-
lows:
"State Tax Commission,
Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Gentlemen: / am in receipt OF
your recent letter, requesting con-
struction Of Section G, Chapter 80,
Laws 1917, the same being An Act
Relating to Delinquent Taxes
1.-The section referred to provides
that 5 per eentum of the amount of
tax penalty and costs be included in
the Judgment, and that said S per
centum, when collected, shall be paid
over to the county treasurer and COW
cred into the court fund Of the coun-
ty. The section further provides that
whenever special counsel shall be en-
ployed to conduct proceedings in such
case, such 5 per centum shall be paid
to- such special counsel by order of
the court, upon warrant drawn
against such court fund. and shall
constitute the compensation for such
special counsel.
I'm my opinion, the 5 per centum re-
ferred to constitutes all Of the com
p~ensation to which such special coun-
sci Is entitled. Furthermore, / am OF
the opinion that, unless such 5 per
centum is actually collected and paid
into the court fund, as provided in the
act, the same shall moi. be available to
such special counsel. In other words,
5 per centum cannot be paid to
the special counsel out of the court
fund unless the same has been collect
ed and paid In from such source.

SAFEST AND BEST
Bet SAYS PARKER
NOT ONLY PATRIOTIC DUTY, BUT
MosT ATTRACTIVE INVEST
MENT. VIEW or SANTA re RAIL
ROAD OFFICIAL
(Hy A. N. HovE)'

Amarillo, Tex, June 6.--"The Lib
erty Bond is the safest and best In
vestment ever offered the American
people," said r. j. Parker, general
manager Of western lines of the Santa
Fe system, today. $50 much stress has
been laid on the point that 1t is q pat.
riotic duty to buy a Liberty Bond that
many people have entirely overlooked
the attractiveness of the bond as an
investment. 20 t7taaFn{ glf4
But the Liberty Bond is a splendid
investment. z. P. Ripley, the presi-
dent OF the Santa Fe Railway system,
fully appreciated this feature, also,
when he arranged the plan by, which
Santa Fe employees may buy Liberty
Bonds and pay for them in INSTALL
ments out Of their earnings each pay
day for ten months.
These bonds draw three and one
half per cent interest, in itself a low
rate. But the honds are absolutely
tax free, as no school, road, city, coun-
ty, state, or federal income or surtax
a be levied on them. This feature
is important in these days when taxes
are growing heavier, the Santa Fe in
1917, as an instance, paying 1853, 900
more taxes than in 1916. The saving
OF taxes alone adds much to the value
of these bonds as an investment.
Should the government issue bonds
in the future bearing a higher rate of
interest. the Liberty Bonds are con.
vertible. These bonds may be had
in two forms: registered, the interest
payable direct from Washington; or
coupon, the interest coupons payable
at any bank. a
There are several reasons why the
management of the Santa Fe arranged
to supply their employees with bonds
on the installment plan. 1t is pat
riotic and gives every one the oppor-
tunity to help the nation at a critical
time, The bonds are a good invest
ment and offer the employee an op-
portunity to invest their savings profit
ably. Another thing, the more Of these
bonds that so into the hands of the
people, the less money will be with.
drawn from active business. AMI bus
mess and industry must be speeded up
to meet the national emergency and
this takes more capital.
:" am strongly for a popular sub
scription to the Liberty Bond issue. IT.
is patriotic and good business"

vice known as a twitch leaves sears
around the upper lip. This would lead
one to suspect that the horse has some
bad habit. such as being difficult to
shoe.
Face.-Look for blemishes from OPP
erations such as on bad teth or nasal
tumors, disease which may cause trou-
BILE after apparently being cured.
Eyes.-Before beginning an exami-
nation of the eyes be sure that these
important and often unnoticeably de
fective organs are turned toward a
good light. Large, full, well-plaeed
eyes, preferably of chestnut hue with
a sparkle and mild expression, are
beautiful in appearance and are the
least subject to disease. Small, sunk
en- eyes are often weak and may ac-
company a sluggish temperament. Lac
erations on the eyelids are more or
less unsightly and give evidence of
previous injury which may have left
the eye weak, especially if the eye
sheds tears frequently. To test the
sight make quick motion of the hand
away from each eye and see If the
lids are closed to protect the eyeball.
In doing this it is necessary to be
careful not to cause current of air
to strike the eye, since blind horse
may close the eyelid from such cause
alone. If still doubtful about the sight
have the animal led over obstacles over
which a blind horse would stumble,
in which case horse with good sight
will carefully raise and plant his feet
over them. a more detailed test con-
sists of taking the horse from dark
ness to light, and vice versa, and see
ing that the pupils dilate and contract
alike. Hollows over the eyes denote
old age or a lack of vitality. I'm
scrupulous dealers have sometimes in
dated these hollows with air. but this
can readily be detected by pressing
with the fingers, which forces the air
into the adjacent cavities, leaving the
natural hollowness.
Ears.-Horses are not often troubled
with deafness, still it is advisable TO
test the hearing by noting responses
to the voice. The ears should be
placed fairly close together at the
