A TAXPAYERS R
\ MEETING
Estancia, New Mexico,
January Gath, 1920
in Torrance Coun.

ESJanCld, INeW mehlCO,
January Gath, 1920
To the Taxpayers in Torrance Coun
ty:
The Estancia Chamber of Com
merce have appointed a committed
to arrange the preliminaries for thu
organization of a Countrywide Tax
payers Association. This committee
has called general meeting of tax
payers to be held on February End
1920, in the court house at Estan
cia.
This meeting has. been called or
the 4th of February because or
that day the County Commissioners
will be in session and at that time
will fix the valuation on land fol
the tax assessments Of 1920.
There have been widely different
rumors as to what the Commission.
ers will do on that day. The idea
that land values will be materially
increased for purposes of taxation
has gained much credence in many
quarters and it is essential to the
welfare of Torrance county that
you personally, as a voter and tax
payer inform yourself as to the ac-
ton contemplated by the County
Commissioners.
A general discussion will take
place a. to the advisability of form
ing permanent organization. The
organization will be ever alert on
all questions of taxation as to val
uations of lands and as to levies
levied against same, and further
will be interested in the expendi-
lures of county funds. Whether or
not permanent organization is af-
fected, it is essential that you be
present at that meeting as the ques-
tion of fixing 1920 valuations is
worth your trouble.
If permanent organization is
effected it is necessary that every
community in the county be repre-
sented. An effort will be made to
have all county organizations pres
ent with representatives.
One of the matters that will be
discussed and determined is the re-
lationship of county organization
to the State Taxpayers Association,
so please keep the date in mind
and be present, prepared to help
solve the problem of equitable tax
alton as it confronts the taxpayer
in Torrance county.
The place is the court house, the
date February End, the time is $3.50
A. M.
Remember, the Board of County
Commissioners will be in session al
this time.

Chairman of Committee on Arrange
mentS.

was founded by Washington and

dured because we have had that
love and reverence for it that has
caused men to fight and to give
their lives, if necessary, to up

freedom, and equality, come from
God himself These principles
are better than those of any other
country in the world, other coun-
tries have adopted them when
forming a republic, and that is
what makes them endure. We
are in troublesome times. We
have descriptions in the govern

famine, we have anarchy and tyr
amy and even the faith in JUS
tice has been shaken. But it is
one of the aftermaths of wars, it
was so after the civil war and is
something which time alone will
adjust. 1t is the sacrifice for the
people Of today. but it cannot
compare with the sacrifices Of the
boys who went into the trenches
and it cannot compare with the
sacrifice of those who gave their
lives there. Liberty carried to
the extreme is anarchy. Liberty
suppressed is tyranny. We must
have neither.
