GENERAL FUNSTON
INSPECTS TROOPS HERE

General Frederick Funston,
commander Of the Southern
Department, including the puni-
tive expedition, arrived here
Wednesday from General PERISH
ing's headquarters, and Thurs
day morning inspected all the
troops stationed here. The aero
planes were sent up for test
flights.
While here he expressed the
opinion that the menance Of
border raids by Mexicans and
bandits had beeTrSeduced TO such
an extent that the regular forces
was now sufficient for protective
purposes.
"0ur frontier is pretty well
cleaned up now" General Fun
ston said, "and for the present
we do not look for any attacks
across our line. In the event
Of withdrawal, we shall have
sufficient regulars to forestall
any hostile attempts. OF course
II would be pure speculation TO
say there will be no more raids.
So, although we do not look for
any. we win be nevertheless
prepared"
The General concluded his in.
spection here Thursday morning
and left on the Golden State
limited at noon for FL Paso and
can Antonio.

To the Taxpayers Of New Mexico

We have what we believe TO
be reliable information 10 the
effect that a movement Is on
foot 10 have passed by the pres
ent legislature a law 10 cancel
all taxes and tax liens for all
years nrior to 1912. Such a law
l. passed wo ID favor the tax
dodger. e. Ing him TO escape
his Just share o. The burden OF
supporting the state. county and
G. ty governments; his just share
of the costs Of schools, roads. etc.
Some Of the principal tax dodg-
ers are persons and corporations
who have owned large amounts
Of lands for many years. In
Union county, which was Great
ed in 1894. a conservative esti-
mate places the amount Of taxes
that would be cancelled by such
a law at one hundred thousand
dollars. Doubtless the same
would be true as TO practically
all the counties in the state, the
figures varying according TO the
age and taxable area of the diff
ferent counties.
Taxpayers Of New Mexico,
now that the Legislative session
is under way, II devolves on us
to bestir ourselves IL we are TO
prevent the perpetation of a
gross injustice on our state.
This is TO urgently recommend
that every taxpayer Immediately
write to the senator and repre-
sentatives from his district and
protest in the strongest possible
terms against the passage Of
such a law If introduced. This
means you. Do II now.
