THE CIVIC LEAGUE

We wish to make the following cor
rections in the score we published in
connection with the prizes of the baby
campaign:
Earl Ridley Mulheron, son Of Dr..
and Mrs. E. R. Mulheron, won the high
es score 800, for which the prize offer
ed was $500 in Thrift Samps. DR.,
Mulheron is of course proud Of the
honor won by Earl, Jr., but refuses to
accept the money prize, so has turned
it back into the treasury to be used
toward next years campaign. All the
doctors who helped with the campaign
are enthusiastic in their desire that
this work be kept up from year to year
The second prize, $500 in Thrift
Stamps, went to Virginia McConnico.,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Bullifin Nc
Connico. Virginia scored 1913. The
third score, 99.7 with a prize Of $1.00
in Thrift Stamps, was won by Eliza
beth Powers, daughter of R. H. Powers
The record cards have been sent to
the parents Of all the babies who were
examined. We hope that all the babies
win show improvement next year.

Mr.. F. w. Lyle received a message
from Oliver Alexander this week say

pie, favorite with all Brownsville
people. John went with the SIS Men,
phi boys to Fort Thomas, KY, where
they were examined and sent to the

of others was assigned to Troop H.

entered into his work with all the spir-
it that it takes to make good soldier.
We would no be surprised to hear Of
his promotion at any time.

MERCHANDISE AND
REAL STATE TAXES.

Merchandise and city real estate ara
Ito be particularly singled out for tax
returns this year. The state tax COM
mission, in a letter sent to the assess
ors OF New Mexico, has the following
to say on these important subjects:
Special effort should be made to
get better returns Of merchandise
stocks. This class Of property should
show a big increase ON the 1918 rolls.
This Is the only property for which
the taxpayer returns o value, but such
value should not be accepted without
investigation. 1t is suggested that the
assessor should study the invoices Of
each firm of January l, 1917, and OF.
January l, 1918. He should also ask
as to cost value of goods bought DUR
ing the year 1917, and as to amount
of insurance carried ON stocks. From
this and other information, it will be
possible to determine whether a fair
return Of the average value OF mer-
chandise has been made. An inven-
tory of furniture, fixtures and equip
ment should be asked for also. 1t is
suggested that all merchandise re
turns should be measured by a full
and adequate return Of the most care
fully rendered stock. Returns can
be best equalized on a 100 per cent
basis.
Without going into the matter OF
residence property at the present time
we want to suggest that all real es-
tate with improvements used for bus
mess and revenue purposes should
have special attention. A feeling az
lists that such property should show
higher valuation and should be equal
lied on a 100 per cent basis"
