Especial Correspondence to The JournaI)

Especial Correspondence to The Journalo
Santa Fe, June 10.-The states
tax roll ives decreased approki-
mately $4,000, goo today when the
tax commission reduced the valua-
tion of grazing lands Twenty-Five
per cent. yls}A[. -
II. j, Hagermans who appeared
for grazing land owners, said the
burden was greater than they
could carry and that 1t would be
less disastrous if the state sus-
pended payment of its obligations
for six months, or a year, than if
its greatest industry, the livestock
industry, was driven to the wall
by oppressive taxation.
He said the tax commission
should not be guided by the
thought that 1t was its duty to pro-
duees the revenue to meet the states
bills but by the principle that it
should assess property fairly ire
spective of the legislaturSs ex-
penditures. If suspension of pay
ments by the state complete ex-
haustion of its treasury was neces-
sary to bring the legislature to the
realization that actual, not theo-
retical retrenchment, was needed,
he said, it was "devoutly to be
wished for" 80

scribed as waiting the announce
