WOULD FIX AID VAL0RERA BASIS
FOR Mine TAXES BY STUDY OF
NATIONALLY KNOWN ENGINEER
Revenue Body Advises Spending $4,000 for
Initial Valuation - Contiguous Clause Is
Roundly Flayed- Report Shows Assessment
Should Be on Equalization Basis.
nY ClINTON h. ANDERSON.

Santa Fe, Nov 2S,--Asserting
that the people of New Mexico do
not desire to subsidi2e or penalize
the mines of the state but merely
wish to bring them to an equal ba-
sis with the other taxpayers, the
state revenue commission in its re-
port to the governor recommends
that mining property in New Mex
leo be assessed on u strict ad va
loren basis which should be de-
termined by an original engineer
with national reputation and that
an assistant engineer should be
employed in the first valuation
who would be retained as u per-
manent employe Of the state tax
commission.
The question of mine taxation is
of extreme importance in the state
at this time, partly because 1t fig
ured 80 vitality in the recent cam
paign and also because the mining
industry ia in critical shape at the
present time. 1t is no secret that
the copper companies have been
reducing their working forces and
that many coal companies have
stopped making coke.
Tax Situation Critical.
At the same time the livestock
industries of New Mexico are inn
perilled by the condition of the
market. The cattle men are pray
ing the state tax commission to
grant a reduction of 25 per cent in
their assessments and the sheep
men are asking 80 per cent re-
duction. With the possibility that
great industries are almost certain
to pass through a crisis which will
necessitate lowering of their valua-
tions, 1t is important that the mine
situation be handled very carefully,
partly because the mines will be in
serious shape and will need to have
justice tempered by discretion on
the part of the state tax commits
sion and also because the state IT.

Methods of Preventing Mo-

Warmly Discussed.
ITALIANS AND SWISS
FOR STATES RIGHTS
Setting Up a Commission to
Control the Problem Is
Proposed in a Resolution,
But Canada Objects.

Geneva, Nov. % (by The
Associated Press. - The
question whether countries
shall be allowed to control
and dispose at will of their
natural resources is the sub
ject of a sharp conflict in a
committee of the assembly.
The contest arose over a res
olution by Gustave Ador, of
Switzerland, setting up q
permanent economic and
financial commission, one of
the duties of which would
be to examine measures for
preventing monopolies in
raw materials and the means
of controlling their distribu-
ton.
The resolution is based on
article % of the covenant,
which assures all states
equitable rights. 1t is sup
ported chiefly by Italy,
Switzerland and other coun-
tries not rich in raw ma
terials.
Says Canada Won't Admit.
Ono of the strongest opponents
of the resolution is Sir George e.
Foster of Canada. who has taken
the same attitude as T, Il. Rowell,
also of Canada. who served notice
that any attempt to exercise such
control would be regarded as in
reference in internal affairs. to
which Canada would never submit
Mr.. Rowell at the same time said
that the entry of the United States
could not be hoped for if any such
were attempted.
The question of mandates is an
other difficult subject coming up
this week. The council has on the
agenda for tomorrow the nomina-
tion of n permanent mandate COM
mittee, and another committee at
the same time will take up the
general question in the form of
terms and control of mandates.
This committee has recommend
ed that the United States be in
vited TO cooperate unofficially in
the study of the question of dis
Still another important matter
on the program tomorrow is cleo
tion OF successor to Secretary
Tower as high commissioner at
Danzig. The council may also fin
ally decide what reply shall be
made to the German protest
against approval of the results of
the Eupen-M Malmedy plebiscite.
Germany contends that the Bel
gian troops of occupation exerted
pressure on the population.
