CAPT 7. S. SNYDER FOR J. p.

The J. p. election will be held this
coming Monday, January 10. AT pres
ent there is but one applicant for
the position, but it is rumOred that a
dark horse will be proposed on the
day of the election. We know not
who the dark horse may be ami il
will make but little difference, for
it is a fOregOne conclusion that he
will not receive the support of the
good women and men of Precinct
One when named in opposition to
Captain + $. Snyder, the present in
cumbent,
As a general rule but little impOr-
tance is given TO J. p. elections But
in This case il bchuOves every law
abiding citizen of Clayton TO take
inventory of the unlawful acts of
the past and then. decide whether or
not it is best TO elect a Justice of the
Peace who is willing and anxious to
help make good the recent campaign
pledges upon which both our sheriff
and district attorney were elected.
1t will do but little good for the
sheriff 10 make arrests unless he
has the support of the district attor7
ney and judge who will uphold the
letter of the law. Capt. Snyder is a
deserving gentleman He is fearless
and honest and if elected to the Of
flee of Justice of the peace will en-
force the law just as the law abiding
citizens of this community would
have it enforced Vote for Captain
Snyder and you can't go wrong.

IMPROVEMENTS IN THE ASSESS
MENT SYSTEM
Suggestions and Recommendations
by the Special BeVeruc Commits
sion Of the State. .y.s .....

In its report to the governor and
Legislature ofathe state, the special
revenue commission created at the
special session last winter has sug-
gested some important changes in
our administration of assessment of
property for taxation. The substan-
ccs follow:
Chief among the causes for taxa
tion evils in New Mexico is that of
defective administration The weak
est point in the system is found in
the office of the county assessor.
This official is most often selected
for his vote getting qualifications
rather than for his ability, good
Judgment and fairness. Our only
road TO tax reform is one which
leads away from the conception Of
tax administrator as a political Of
fice-holder and approaches the con-
ceptiOn Of the administrator as a
professional technician whose pros
periiy and we'll being depends en-
tirely upon his skill, impartiality
and industry
In view OF the substantial progress
that has been made i'm tax admins
tration since the creation of the
state tax commission. further I'M
provement may be anticipated by
strengthening this commission
There should be provision made for
the appointment of three fnen on
full time basis with adequate sala-
ries. The term should be six years.
one term expiring every two years.
and incumbents should be eligible
10 re-appointment Commissioners
should be removable by the COVER
nor only on grounds of established
inefficiency or dishonesty. The COM
missiOpers should themselves travel
about the state in order TO become
Thoroughly familiar with conditions
in different seotipns and for the pur-
pose Of hearing appeals and COM
plants
The tax commission should be the
keystone Of the tax administration
arch; the ultimate power for deter
mining assessments OF all types
should rest with il. subject Of
course, to review by the courts. II
should have fun authority TO make
adjustments on appeal as well as
power Of initiative 10 correct indi-
yidual assessments. 10 make blanket
increases or decreases or 10 demand

visions thereof

After careful consideration of va
rious types of administration. it
seems hest to recommend one which
seems best adapted TO existing con-
dltions in New Mexico This iny0l-
YES state tax commission consti-
tutcd as indicated above and an or
ganlzatiOn of district and local as
SCISSORS appointed by the commits
sion. These assessors should be Sc
lected because of fitness and should
hold office indef nitely subject TO
removal by the state tax commis-
sion on grounds of dishonesty and
lnetfiCiency.
Assessment districts should be
formed corresponding somewhat 10
the judicial districts but with some
consideration for economic and phv-
steal characteristics of the country
and the size of the assessment task
to be performed Each district
should be in charge of district
supervisor of assessments who
should be responsible TO the tax
commission for the assessment OF
property and incomes within his dis
trict. He should have direct and
complete control over local assess
.ments and deputies and should have
power subject to the approval Of
the state tax commission to move
assessors or deputies from one couR-
ty to another temporarily as the
work should require.
District supervisors should he Sc
lected from the best material now
available among the assessors and
deputies in the counties. They
should be furnished with such ma
terials and Instructions as may be
necessary to equip them as experts
in valuation and income tax proceed
uTe, and to accomplish this the tax
commission should be supplied with
insufficient funds to provide such mo-
/ tCrials and Instructions. For this
purpose the supervisors should meet
from time to time with the tax COM
mission, and at such conferences in
! structons could be made clear and
the difficult problems Of procedure
could be explained.
The task OF assessment. whether
it be that Of valuing property or ar
irving at net inoomesA is a technical
task in which trained Judgment is
necessary. That Judgment can
scarcely be expected to be impartial
and accurate so long as the assessor
must have regard for the political
effect of his acts. Moreover, so long
/ as an assessor has nothing to gain
from industry and eff iency, these
qualities can scarcely be expected
to develope. The problem of assess
ment is already of great Importance
both from the point of view of the
amounts of money involved. and
from the point of view of equity Of
distribution of the burdens of tax
alton among property owners. The
| introduction Of an income tax will
add burdens which it would be folly
to impose upon the present organi-
zation The increase in public funo--
tiOns which appears 10 be the treAa
of the times will make the whole
problem progressively greater. In
our opinion il is wise in this case
to proceed boldly ard TO adopt an
organization for Valuing properly
and assessiye income which viii lift
the whole procedure ont of petty
/ local politics
