Thrlft Talk FalIs 10 Rrlnn ResuIts

Although the republicans talked
thrift in state expenditures and a
reduction of taxes during the last
campaign, they drew and carried
into law an appropriation bill which
not only failed to be economical. but
which is the greatest appropriation
of money a New Mexico legislature
ever made. For the coming fiscal
year and deficiencies for the past.
the total is over S2.S00OOO. moro
than a quarter of a million dollars
more than the appropriation bill of
two years ago.
With the slump in values of live
stock and mining properties, the
tax rate for state purposes will need
to be- curlailed substantially. The
republicans sought TO cover their
fresh tracks by passing tax limita-
tion bill which l. designed to re
duce expenses i'm county and city 81

HEAVIER TAXES FOR
 IDLE COPPER MINES

Arizona's copper mines will have to pay heavier taxes than ever this yeal
 n spite of the fact that they are shut down and there IS no uemand tor tnel stored metal, according to State Tax commissioners Charles R. Howe Frank Luke and E. A. Hughes.
 "The legislature saddled us with a budget of $6,000,O00, the heaviest in the history of the state, in a year when all it's industries are having harder sledding than they ever ex, perienced before, explained Chair man Howe. 'sThe money simply must be raised and the copper companies will have to pay their share. Their mines and smelters are worth just as much as they ever were, even if they are unproductive at the present time.
 Until the very last days of the session, it appeared that the legisIa- ture was going to be exceedingly con- servative and economical, but then the appropriation bills began to 20 through with startling regularity, and the tax commission was left with a $6,0OO,O000 budget to wrestle with.
