ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO
TNXES CONTRASTED
Nv Paul 4, l.. Walter.

Santa Fe, Aug 1.-THE statement
just published at Phoenix that the
state budget for Arizona for the COM
ing year will be $G,OO0,000 of which
S5.293,00O must be raised by direct
taxation, is of much interest. for New
Mexicos state budget for the coming
year is only $2,212,S34.42 and for the
1920-1g2l fiscal year only $l,S4S,-
7O1.75. THIS is the more remarkable
because at the last census, New Mex
leo had so per cent more population.
IN area too Arizona is smaller.
The per capita cost per year to
carry, on the Arizona government is
fully $25, while in New Mexico it is
less than $500 per capita, or less than
one-fourth.
The tax payer, therefore, who
groans about the extravaganza of the
government in New Mexico and the
heavy contributions he must make to
maintain the state government, should
be advised to move into Arizona,
where one doesn't get any more In
the way of state government for SIS
than he would in New Mexico for
$500,
The economical methods of New
Mexico state government are the more
apparent when one examines and
analyses the expenditures for the
coming year. OF the $2,212,S34.24
only one-tenth goes for salaries and
expenses of the executive and legisla-
tive offices, including the district
judges. district attorneys, maintenance
of the capitol and executive buildings,
state library, supreme court, etc.
For the protection of person and
property $141,675 is to be expended
and that includes such activities as
the determination of predatory
animals; mounted police, insurance,
mining. corporation, = bank depart
ments. etc.
1t is for education that the largest
fraction is expended and every one
wants good schools as a matter of
one-fourth of the entire budget has
been set aside while for good roads
another fourth is appropriated, so that
more than one half of the road eX-
penditures go for good schools and
good roads. Another fourth goes for
the maintenance of hospitals, orphans
homes, charitable and penal institu-
tions, an expense which no civilized
commonwealth escapes.
For the interest on the bonded debt
S124,700 is set aside, so that for the
actual cost Of state government. pro-
lection of person and property, con-
servation and development of natural
resources, health and sanitation only
one-fifth Of the total expenditure. or
less than half million dollars year
or about $1.25 per capita. is expended.
But let the tax payer who groans
about this $1.25 per capita per year
expenditure for state government re-

HOW BOLsHEvISM WOULD WORK

Under Bolshevism, no one would
have any special incentive to keep up
or increase production, no one would
have any incentive to work or apply
efficiency systems. no one would have
any incentive to study out new and
better technical processes. no one
would have any incentive to educate
himself The production of every in
dustry would drop down.
1t may be said that Bolshevism in
practice would finally see that some
incentive was given to anyone who
could increase the product. In Russia,
Lenine after trying pure Bolshevism
has been reported to be paying mana
gers high wages in order to get the adj
vantage Of organizing ability. But in
so doing he is simply applying the
principles of pure capitalism. and adj
hitting that Bolshevism is a failure.
The result in period of years
would be what is now seen in Russia,
an enormous falling off in production
and great scarcity in everything. If
factory under Bolshevstic manage
ment produced a third what it pro-
duces under modern scientific
efficiency, 1t would do pretty well.
There is no considerable unemployed
reserve that could be drawn upon to
make up for the falling off of pro-
duction under Bolshevism.
If through Bolshevism the clothing
factories produced only one-third as
much, everyone would have to wear
his clothes three times as long. If all
the superfluous clothing of wealthy
people We're divided up among the
poor, that would amount to but a
slight addition per person. The man
who looks shabby would be in rags.
Food production would be reduced
to a minimum. The people would
not get half what they now have to
eat. Meat would be several times as
scarce. People would have to live
largely on what vegetables they could
raise themselves. If they raised more
than their share. the Bolshevist COM
mittee would come and seize it.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED
WE MUST DRAIN THE VALLEY

The draining of the Rio Grande val
ley is imperative. For years we have
been talking about it, but nothing
has gone beyond the stage of talk,
What we need is action. The seepage
waters of the river are acting steadily,
year by year, They are rising, saturat-
ing the lands ana making them UNI
productive.
Here is a fact regarding the city of
Albuquerque itself: Eight years ago
it was six feet to water in the yard
of the writer's home; last year, at the
end of one of the longest droughts
this country ever has known, the
water level had risen to within less
than three feet of the surface,
We may not like such statements
as this, but why should we shut our
eyes to facts, however, disagreeable,
when failure to recognize the facts
endangers the future growth of the
city. if it doesn't actually menace the
lowlauds?
Of course, there are people here
who are trying to do things. and there
are other people who are blocking
their efforts. Meanwhile the sentiment
of the people of the city have not been
aroused. and probably will not be
until the day comes when water Will
seep into their cellars and refuse to
seep out. even when the weather is
dry for a long time,
Meanwhile production will decrease
in the valley, trade will drop off in
the city and we shall have distress
that is wholly preventable.

member that one-half of this is paid
by railroad and mining companies, by
such "malefactors" of great wealth
as the Phelps Dodge company, the
A. r. & $. f., and the Chino Copper
company, whose contributions an
nually to state. county municipal,
school and district government now
total millions of dollars. The wordy
orator therefore. who at election time
speaks of the enormous salaries paid
state officials, the terrible graft by
officialdom in New Mexico, the bur
densome extortions Of the assessor and
tax collector should add even though
only soto voce, that the individual
contribution of each inhabitant to this
saturnalia Of extravaganza averages
less than six bits or the price of the
sodas for one round IN 4 company of
four.
Whatever burden or injustice there
is upon any individual tax payer is
not due to governmental extravaganza
or tax lodging by the big corporations,
but is owing to the fact that out of
a population af about 100000 people,
there are $4,000 who nevr pay a
cent direct taxes at all. not even their
six bits. and slide through life enjoy
ing all the benefits that well ordered
government gives them, including
schools. roads, protection of person
and property, etc. And many would
deem it an outrage to be asked to
contribute their per capita share to-
ward maintaining such government.

KICKING THE CADAVER.

Backers of the defunct Democrat
at Albuquerque sought to make 1t the
state organ of the democratic party
and many subscriptions were obtained
from over the state, all more or less
a detriment to the democratic papers
which are true politically and sound
financially. Now these subscribers
are tout of pocket" but probably
wiser. 1t is always a good idea, to
stay with the well established home
institution, and not be led away by
foreign wildcat propositions. The
democratic press of the state Is not
mourning the departure of the Albu-
que publication. in reality there is re-
