TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION
TO DISCUSS TAX PROBLEMS

The Executive Committee of the
Taxpayers Association of New Mex.
ico will hold a meeting at Santa
Fe next Monday, August 18th, One
of the objects of the meeting is
to determine the date of the annual
meeting of the Association. AT
present, the suggestion is under
consideration to hold a joint meet
ing of the Association with the
county and state tax officials. Such
a meeting of county commissioner,
assessors, collectors and district at
torneys will probably be called by
the State Tax Commission about
the middle of October.
The increase in the 1919 tax rate
as indicated by county and city bud
gets is causing general concern and
will be one of the subjects of dis
cussion. Taking nine counties that
have been studied, it is found that
in the political subdivision paying
the heaviest rate for all purposes,
the increase will range from 25 to
so per cent higher than for 1913.
An inquiry as to the cause of the
increase and as to the possibility of
modifying the proposed rate will be
a part of the plan of the Associa-
tion's work during the next few
weeks preceding the making of final
levies by Boards of County Com
in October.
The laws passed by the last leg
islature affecting public revenues
and expenditures will he reviewed BY
the Committee at its meeting next
Monday. OF special in ,erest will be
the proposed amendments to the
Constitution to be voted on Septem-
Der 10th next and the possible re-
suit Of the adoption OF these amend
ments. Still another inquiry will be
made as to the numerous issues of
certificates of Indebtedness author
lied by the last legislature. A pro-
posal to make special investigation

ROSWELL CIDER PRESS
BEGINS TO GRIND

Robert Beers of the Captain or.
chard is ready to begin making cider.
The first run will be on the earliest
varieties of apples, which are not
so rich as the later sorts, which will
be coming on until late in the fall
This year Mr.. Beers expects to
make about 10000 gallons of cider,
which will call for the grinding up
of from 5000 to 1900 bushels Of
apples. The greater part of this
amount will be bought from other
orchards.
Mr.. Beers is not after making
hard cider to relieve the dryness Of
these parts. He finds a good market
for cider vinegar of which he is
taking advantage.

WASHINGTON. oct. % United Press }
Steps to cope with the danger OF a

authorize use Of troops at civilian pay
TO keep open all communication and

II is the hope Of Thomas that adop-

warning to both workers and employers
that the government is determined TO
use a strong hand in preserving the
publlcs interest in event labor leaders
carry out strike threats.
Thomas has another resolution pend

OF the support Of the Senate in any

TO meet opposition, it is said, although
many Senator's are in sympathy with its
general purpose.
