Solving Problem.

Mexico City, March %. Admitting
that Mexico is facing crisis ever
greater than he had believed, Minister
OF Finance Limantour yesterday said
the administration had no definite plans
for the solution OF the problems con-
fronting the government. II had no
alternative but to continue the mill
tary program upon which it had en-
tered, he said. Nevertheless, reforms
which were intended to remedy the
grievances were under considerable

was the revision OF the electoral laws.

presented by Mr.. Lmantour to a repre-

Of the people toward the administration

ton, he said, was conducting a search
ing investigation to determine the exact
cause and to find a remedy.
There was no disposition on its part
TO oppose any wise reforms which might
be demanded by a reasonable public,
he said, but the administration did not
purpose to aecede to demands backed
up by arguments of arms.
The administration recognized two
classes in the dissatisfied public, one

prise at the antagonism towards the
administration that he had discovered

The very elaborate national insur'
ance scheme, under consideration In
the British parliament, which has the
backing of the Liberal ministry,
makes no provision for the wives OF
workingmen on the assumption that
they are In reality dependent upon
their husbands. This has raised the
question whether, In fact, the wives
are thus dependent. says the Phila-
delphia Record. 1t Is pointed out that
workingwoman in service who mar.
ries thereafter gets her keep (Which
she had before), but loses her wages.
Her labor IL harder after marriage
than before. She has to keep house.
to bear children and rear and train
them. Her work lasts through all her
waking hours and is Of greatly In
creased responsibility. Does she not
make heavy contribution to the sup
port of the home and at the same
time thereby contribute TO the aggre-
gate wealth OF the state9 II is impos-
sible to give satisfactory negative
answer to these contentious. II the
wife dies the wldower must either Sc
cure outside aid for the maintenance
OF his home or marry again. The wife,
instead of being dependent. is a
main prop to the family establish
ment. 1t is strongly argued for these
reasons that as the wife as much as
the husband contributes to the COM
mon support married woman Is as
rightfully entitled to recognition un-
der state pensioning system as her
husband or as an unmarried woman.
