CHAPTER xlI-continued.


 And I have given you my heart long ago. Kiss me, Tom"
 They sat there, closely pressed to- gether in that narrow space. scarcely aware any longer of the danger at hand. eager only to hear each others voice. Above the crackle of the flames, and the crashing of falling timbers. they could distinguish the in- termittent crack of a rifle, and the echo of voices calling. Shelby began to dig with one hand at the pile of earth beside him so as to widen the ypace between its summit and the roof. The action caused his mind to revert to the imminent peril of their situation.
 Tt will be all over with before day light" he said soberly, "and that will be our chance to get out"
 How do you suppose Macklin ever got through there" she questioned wonderingly.
 That's what bothers me. Either he wasn't hurt much, or he had help. It is my notion the girl brought him out in some wsy. The shooting was an act of sudden anger, for which she was sorry the very next moment. They may be hiding there now, somewhere in the tunnel"
 She lifted herself up and peered through the opening; the glare of the flames did not penetrate beyond the barrier of earth and she saw nothing but impenetrable blackness.
 Shall we go, and see?"
 Not yet; we are safer here, until those devils give up. You can hear their voices yet out there"
 They had 10 way of telling time. and the hours dragged. The sound of firing had entirely ceased. and the shouts of voices died away one after the other. Shelby waited patiently, listening for the slightest sound, but at last, could restrain himself no longer.
 'I do not know how late it is," he said finally, 'yet it must be nearly morning. Most of those fellows must be gone. Shall we try our luck. little grill"
 She put her hand silently into his.

The Fugltives.A


 He led the way. finding little dif1- culty in crawling over the mound of earth. and Olga followed easily. The cool darkness into which they ad- vanced was a great relief, while the sense of action restored their shat tered nerves. They encountered no further obstruction of any kind, but suddenly reached a sharp turn to- ward the left. Shelby felt his pass age around the corner, aware of the pressure of Olga's fingers on his sleeve, but his eyes could perceive nothing unusual beyond. Yet with his first step forward. he came to a sudden halt
 "Stay where you are, senor," said a low voice. mot a move till I speak"
 He caught his breath quickly, scarcely daring to set down an uplifted foot. There was no doubt who that was that spoke out of the darkness.
 "But I am Shelby" he blurted forth swiftly. ''You have no reason to fear me"
 "SheIbyl How you come here2 You found the trap? And-and is she with you?g
 aYes, senorita. An accident re- vealed to us way out. It was you, then. who took Macklin away; he was not killed?"
 A moment there was silence; then she broke out suddenly, passionately. the words fairly falling over each oth- CT in her eagerness of expression.

SINIONS RESIGNS But is
PACTETED BY PRESIDENT

London, Feb. 1.-Dr. Simons,
German foreign minister, defining
the attitude OF the government on
Preparations, according to the Ber-
lin correspondent of the Times, de-
elared that the question whether
k1elegates would be sent to London
WAS dependent on whether the en-
tente regarded their decisions in
the light of proposals and objected
to counter proposals in the negOtia-
tions there or whether the Paris
decision constituted conclusions on
which there could be no discussion.
The German government wou Il
evade an actual invitation to Lon
don. requesting whether the dele
gates would be received as negotia-
tors or simply to receive the deci-
sion. If the entente decided to ad-
nit negotiations, the delegates
would attend with definite pro-
posals.
DR.. Simons inveighed AGAINST the
idea of spreading the reparations

The reichstag was well filled, but
only few persons gathered out
side to learn the governments deci-
sion. After q short historical re-
view the foreign minister expressed
surprise at the abrupt abandon
ment of the Seydoux scheme of the
Brussels financial conference,
which was approved. he said, by
both France and Great Britain. He
defended the vagueness of his pro-
posals at Spa on the ground Of the
many factors making for uncer-
tainty. He described the entente
note as the hasty outcome of diff
ficult negotiations. He promised
that the German government would
Loyalty carry out its disarmament
obligations and would put himself
into communication with the vari-
Gus states of the empire. He then
entered into a long drscussT0H OF
reparations.

The code is divided into seven
chapters with the following chapter
headings: /, property subject to
taxation; 2, assessment of property:
3, levy of taxes; A collection OF
taxes; 5, collection of delinquent
taxes; 6, state tax commission; 7
state income tax.
Both Code and Revision.
The bin is both codification
and a revision of the law All eX~
listing law on the subject of taxa
tion is repealed and a complete
code re-enacted. The code con-
tains many of the provisions of the
present law with necessary changes.
Many new sections are added for
the purpose of making the system
effective as a whole. Each chap
ter is inter-locked with an idea of
making q complete scheme or
plan for handling the subject mat
tier. The only absolutely new fea-
ture of the law is the chapter on
the state income tax.
Under the first chapter. the code
regulates property subject to taxa
lion. The most important thing
is the elimination of virtually all
exemptions except the 5000 to the
heads of families and religious and
similar property exempted by the
constitution. The $4,000 exemp-
ton by law to ex-service men is
abolished in conformity with the
request Of the American Legion.
Exemptions to new railroads, sugar
ree'n cries, and the like are elimi-
mated.
the chapter on the assessment OF
property is substantially in line
with the present law, except that
it is made plain that the assess
ment must be made on the ground
by the assessor or his deputy and
must involve the actual examina-
ton of the property in order to do

The code was prepared under the
direction of Herbert j. Hagerman,
chairman of the special revenue
commission and president of the
New Mexico Taxpayers association.
1t was prepared by Professor j. f.
Chamberlain, chief Of the legisla7
tive drafting department of Co
lumbia university New York city
and by George S. Downer of Albu-
querque.
The codification embraces a
number of interesting suggestions,
1t provides for an ad valorem as
sessment of mineral property, the
state tax commission being assisted
in this work by experts 1t elm
mates many of the present eXemp-
tions, but retains the $200 exemp-
ton to the head of families and
would impose no tax on church
property. The forty per cent
equity tax on state lands purchased
under contract is eliminated and
the land is made taxable at the
legal and equitable interest.
Provision is made for judgments
against property and against per-
son for the collection of taxes. If
process is served on the person,
1.-THE county would be able to proceed
with the collection exactly as any
other Judgment might be collected
New Tax Limitations,
New tax limitations are prescrib-
ed. Five assessment districts are
created. Provision is made for a
fun-time commission of three with
district and local supervisors. The
| present assessors would continue
! to the end of their terms.
A state income tax at the flat
rate of two per cent with the de-
ductions now allowed in federal
taxes is proposed. Personal prop
erty taxes could not be used as an
offset, though they would serve a.
| Q deduction.

CUYLER DENIES CHARGES
MADE BY UNION LEADERS

Chicago, Feb. 1.-The railroads
asked the railway labor board TO
abrogate tle national agreements
80 that an ultimate reduction in
rates without an immediate reduc-
ton in wages could be brought
about, Thomas Dewitt Cuyler.
u4lanman OF the Associated of
Railway executives, said tonight in
a telegram to President Wilson,
replying to one sent him last night
by representatives of seven labor
unions.
Mr.. Cuyler denied charges made
against the railroads by the labor
leaders, declaring that they were
deliberate and gross misrepresen-
tation and propaganda intended to
discredit the private management
of the railroads in the interest of
the Plumb plan ana to defeat eff
forts being made in good faith to
abolish rules and working condi-
tions which were war measures" ."
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1921-02-02

Mr. CuyleF Sald the rullroduS ndI
refused n conference with labor
leaders because such a conference
could not adjust conditions for all
roads, The roads, however, were
willing, individually, to adjust con-
dltions with their employees and
were, in fact, urging this on the
labor board,
"The action requested by Brig
adler General w. w. Atterbury
(abrogation of the national agree
ments) is the only action which,
with government sanction, can
free the hands Of the railway ex-
ecutives and enable them by Or
derby procedure with their men to
develop appropriate rules and
working conditions" the telegram
said
"The only rules that stand the
tests of practical operation and do
not involve endless controversy ara
rules which are negotiated between
each management and its own men
~ and the opportunity of Sc
curing this is requested by the
roads mot only to enable the rail-
roads to achieve the earning power
contemplated in the TRANSPORTATION
act but in the interest of an ulti-
mate reduction in transportation
! rates to the public"
Last, but not least. the roads
request is in the interest of the
men who work upon these rail-
roads We recognize that as the
wages of railroad employees were
the last to go up, they should also
be the last to come down, and, IL
by restoring conditions necessary to
| efficient and economical operation
the railroads can postpone for
| reasonable period the reduction of
basic wages which will ultimately
be required, they win be only too
glad to do so in the interests Of
their employees.
