New Mexico Travel and Tax Trends Draw Attention
The piece notes tourist traffic through New Mexico with a Albuquerque to Santa Fe count of 303 foreign cars, mostly Fords from Iowa, and estimates tourists spend 15 to 20 dollars per car daily. It cites 1915 to 1921 population up 10 percent, property values up 35 percent, taxes up 150 percent, and state expenditures rising from 6.35 to 15 million while bonded debt grew 200 percent. Local governments face reform needs amid falling assessable values since 1921, but tax rates were cut in 1921 and 1922. Las Vegas pays less tax than Albuquerque despite similar facilities. Reports of Santa Fe mining into the San Juan oil fields surface, though skeptics question motives to block rival rail lines.
