Who will pay the taxes thenF Al

fewer and fewer persons due to the
fact that ownership In taxable property

HELP FOR WESTERN MINES

Plans have been completed for IL
nancing the sale for export of 100000 D.
600 pounds OF the surplus copper IN
this country. S40.0O0O00 eight per
cent notes will be issued by the Copper
Export Association and Offered for
sale 10 the public with the above
amount Of copper as security
This Is said to be the first large pub
lie loan made in this country to be Sc
cured specifically by a certain amount
of an essential commodity. as well as
the first big movement by American
companies to take advantage Of the op-
portunities offered under the Webb eN-
port trade act 10 invite public partici-
patton in the financing Of foreign
trade.
Copper has been a drug on the mar
ket in this country since the close of
the war. due 10 the inability Of Euro
pean consumers to take their pre-war
requirements for lack Of financing ar
rangements. BY this plan sufficient
credit can be extended to Europem
buyers 10 enable them to take our cop
per and thus end the stagnation which
has been depressing western metal pro
duction to the lowest point in years.

ABOUT TAXES

OF course. taxes are high. Taxes are
high all over the country. Everything
else Is high. But commodities are com
ing down and reduction Of taxes can
be expected But II will be u long time
before the cost OF the war and the ex-
travagnnce connected with 1t will bc
paid for. Economy In government must
he enforced just as most individuals
are forced 10 econOmize.
But Luna county Is far from being
broke. II is fully able TO meet its bills
from current taxation. Any borrowing
from special funds 20 meet current ex-
penses is but temporary and due TO the
delay In the collection OF taxes.
There Is no neel 10 get excited over
taxes and TO believe that the present
taxes endanger the growth Of the city.
What Is needed is TO more evenly dis
tribute the burden OF taxation In or
der that every citizen shall bear his
fair burden. Tax dodging under the
New Mexico law is easy and IL IL prac-
ticed pretty generally. Our tax as
socintion can accomplish much by inn
pressing on each citizen the necessity
for returning their property at fair
valuation and then going to the county
collected and paying up. In this way
the tax rate can he materially reduced
or course IL Is necessary that the
valuations be held down to the level OF
other counties Of the state.
