DECEMBER TAX REVIEW

The December number of the New
Mexico Tax Review, medium of pub
licity of the Taxpayers Association
of New Mexico, is devoted largely to
the proceedings and addresses of the
biennial session of the Association.
The report of the President, Mr..
II. J. Hagerman, reviews the work
of the organization and deals with
such important phases of public fin
ance as the taxation of mines and the
administration of the public lands
of the state. Whatever may have
been necessary arrangements to bring
about the leasing of such lands in
the beginning, it is now pertinent to
inquire if the from all kinds
of leases should not be increased by
submitting expired leases to bids. To
relieve the tax situation of the state,
the public lands should be made to
yield all possible revenue for the
support of schools and institutions.
Former Governor w 4. Lindsey
and Judge E. X. Wright made notable
contributions which ar: published in
the Tax Review indicating the neces-
sity for readjustment Of government
on a more siinplified and coordinat-
ed basis. A committee, consisting
of Messrs. Lindsey, Wright, J. G..
Fitch, Neil B. Field and F. W. Clancy,
was appointed to study these propos-
ais with a view to making recon-
dations.
