special counsel, and subsequently
we had the benefit OF the knowl-
edge and experience of Professor

there is perhaps no higher author
| ity in the United States in the con-
struction of such proposed legisla-
| tive measures.
Only Outline Intended.
ut had not been the purpose OF
the commission to do more than
submit the general outline pre-
pared by Professor Chamberlin,
but after the meeting of the legisla-
ture there appeared to be de-
mand from members of that body
that the commission submit
specific legislative proposal in a
form that might be enacted into
| law, and we thereupon secured the
assistance of Mr.. George s. Downer.
who is recognized by the bench and
| bar of New Mexico as high au-
thority on all matters of taxation,
and with Mr.. Downer's assistance
we have prepared and submitted
to the legislature the so-called rev.
enue code, House Bill No. 100.
The attempt on the part of the
commission was to, present
scheme of legislation so flexible
| that it should be subject to unllm"
tied modification and change at
the legislative discretion and we
particularly desired not to offer
bill, the provisions of which were
so interdependent that it could not
be amended without mutilating the
scheme. In this we think we have
succeeded to an unusual degree ana
we are assured by persons whom
we consider competent to express
an opinion on such matters that
House Bill No. 100 is susceptible
in a remarkable degree to altera-
ton and change without destrue-
tion of the framework which ls
intended to be preserved.

the Teachers college of Columbia

History of Commission.
Mr.. Hagerman has been, in his
capacity as chairman of the State
Revenue commission, in attendance
upon this session of the legislature
attempting to assist that body in
revising the revenue laws of the
state. At the special session of the
legislature held in February of
1920 the governor was authorized
to appoint n special revenue COM
ciOn with power and authority to
inquire into and make recommend
ations as to the policy or necessity
of the adoption by appropriate leg
islation of a system of taxation of
incomes and the relation of such
system of taxation to the present
system of taxation of property in
New Mexico. real and personal,
tangible and intangible, the taxa
ton of the net income of produc-
ing mines and all other methods
and powers of taxation in force in
the state of New Mexico, OR
WHICH MAY BE RECOMMEND
ED FOR ADOPTION BY THE
LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE
OF NEW MEXICO"
The commission thus authorized
was appointed by Governor Lara
zolo with Mr.. Hagerman as it's
chairman and reported to the
governor an elaborate review of
the revenue and taxation system
of the state with its recommenda-
tions for new system of taxation
which was especially notable by
reason of the fact that the major
ity of the commission strongly rec
ommended an ad valorem tax on
mineral property and flat revenue
tax.
Declines An Interview.
A reporter of the Journal seek
ing some expression from Mr. Ha-
german upon these outstanding
points of the report was met by a
polite refusal on his part to dis
cuss this part of the report because
he thinks these matters too compli-
Gated for discussion in a newspaper
interview and they are fully dlS-
cussed in the report itself. Mr.,
Hagerman said, however. that the
report of the revenue commission
was the result of painstaking in
vestigation and inquiry, in which
the commission had had the benefit
of assistance of men of recognized
ability and authority on the SUBJ
jects of taxation, economies and
legislation"
"Our report" said he. covers
every phase of the tax situation
and gives not only our recommend
ations but our reasons therefor,
and refers to the oral evidence
which was before the commission
and which has been printed. At

EDUCATION HIS LIFE WORK
World Owes Much to Horace Mann, Real Leader in the Improve
 ment of Schools.

Horace Mann, the founder of CO., education. was the originator of the bill bearing date April 19, 1887, where by a state board of education was created in Massachusetts. Mann was a lawyer, a refOrmer and a philanthrO- pist, and was instrumental in having the board revise the school laws and to reorganize the common-school sys- tenn of the state. Of this board he was made secretary at a salary of $1 ,OOO a year, and for twelve years he devoted all his time to the cause, often against the most bitter OppOSi- tiOn. This was the great work of his life, for the work begun under his leadership was not confined to MaSSa- chusetts, but affected the whole Uni ted States and led to the free public school system as it is known today.
 These reforms were instituted chief ly through his annual reports, of which there are twelve volumes, which are now considered as classics, being re- printed in Europe and circulated the district, Mann. sought to restore the more centralized control of the town, which would give broader pub lie support, a greater freedom from factional quarrels, a better financial basis, a better prepared and remun- erated staff of teachers and better equipment.
