MAXIMUM OF SERVICE AT
MINIMUM OFCOST URGED
BY TAXPAYERS ..
The executive committee of
the . Taxpayers association of
New Mexico in a recent state
ment again calls attention to the
increasing cost of government
and the diminmshing ability, to
pay for it. Waste, extravigance
and inefficiency are vigorously
condemned in all departments
and emphasis is placed upon the
election and appointment of pub
lic officials who stand for the
"maximum of service at a minm
mum of cost with due considera
tion of the ability of those who
own property and furnish the
revenues lor the state and its
sobdivisions." ' ,
A few brief sentences set forth
the increasing tax burden ;
1 Governmental expenditures
have increased for all state, cou
nty, municipal and institutional
purposes from $6,348,832.27 in
1915. to $15,080,968.60 in 1921, '
:2 Taxes levied on property
have increased from $4,305,411.
45 in 1915 to $11,117,831.33 in
1921. .
i 3 Minimum tax rates -per one
thousand dollars of assesed val
ue have increased from $9.30 in
3915 to $18.73 in 1921, and the
maximum rates from $26.95 in
1915 to $59.15 in 1921. ..
' 4 The total bonded indébted
ness of the state and its subdivi
sions has increased from $6,000
000 in 1915 to $18,000,000 in '21
While the burden has thus so
tremendously been increased,
the increase in the(ability to pay
is relatively insignificant. (1)
Population is less than ten per
cent greater than in . 1915, and
(2) the assessed value of prop
erty for 1922 will not be much
greater, if any, than in 1915.
(3) In the percapita of taxable
incomes, according to reports of
the Bureau of Internal Revenue
New Mexico stands forty-first
in the list of states, being far
surpassed in this respect by its
neighbors. (4) The low taxpay
ing ability of several classes of
property, notably livestock make
tax reduction imperitive.
Economies in administrative
should be initiated at once, the
statement asserts. Schools ab
sorb fifty percent of all public
revenues and tunas ior educa
tion need to be especially safe
guarded so as to produce the
maximum of service. At pres
ent there is considerable ineffici
ency in the state's school system
due to incompitent supervision
and poor instruction. Such in
should be paid for at the lowest
.Expenditures for such purp
oses as agricultural extension
possible cost to the taxpayer,
and public health should be care
fully scrutinized as those for all
other purposes. The limited tax
able resources makes it imperit
ive to emphasize economy as well
as efficiency,' however commend
able may be the objects of those
entrusted with the administrati
on of puliic affairs

" TORRENCE COUNTY

THE ROPE
A telegram received by
1 the S . A . Wednesday mor-
'ning from R.P. Shaya sta-
ting that the four Mexicans
who murdered his uncle An-
ton J. Courey at Duran se-
veral months ago were con-
victed in the Torrance Coun-
ty Court at Estancia of first
Degree Murder and will all
be sentenced to hang, .
We were unable to get the
full facts of the trial before
going to press but we are
sure the Mexicans got a sen-
tence which is approved by
f all who know of the heinous
crime they committed when
they shot Mr Courey down
in cold blood and seriously
' injured his wife. Mr Shaya
had to sell his interests in
Roy so that he could go to
Duran and look after the in-
terests of the family of the

REV. POPE TO HOLD
REVIVAL AT GRENVILLE
Rev . Miller of Grenville was in
Roy the later part of last week
and made arrangments with Rev
Pope and: Mr Meier to conduct
a six weeks revival at that place.
We understand that Rev. Pope
will go to Grenville immediately
after, the close of the revival at
this place which will be about
July 9th or sooner. "''"'
We want to congratulate the
good people of Grenville on the
securing of such an able man to
hold a Revival and we can assure
the people of that community
that they will have an opportunf
ty of hearing one of the strong
est Evangelists of the west, and
it behooves them to attend the
services for Rev. Pope is a str
og, clean man and each of his
sermons are masterpieces and
worth any ones time to listen to
them.
The attendance at the services
at Roy have exceeded all church
going pople's expectations and
on last Sunday evening it was
impossible for all of those in at
tendance to get in the large Bap
tist Church here. We are sure
that the people of Grenville have
a great treat in store for them
and that a wonderful revival will
soon be in progress in their beau
tiful little city.
