Intervention

NEW YORK, March 10.-Taktng
direct issue with President Taft, Jose
L.imantour, Mexican minister OF fin
ance, to-day declared that there Is no
excuse for intervention In Mexico,
and that the health of President Diaz
Is not precarious. and that Mexico
can easily protect all foreign inter-
ests there.
The Mexican minister was plainly
Very much. concerned by the eadn1is-
sion that the United States govern
ment feared that trouble must follow
continuation OF the Mexican revolu-
ton and he insisted that under no
circumstances could Mexico consent
for a moment to interference by the
United States In her internal affairs
In a carefully prepared statement La
mantour said:
while undoubtedly the ideas re-
garding this matter which President
Taft Is reported to have expressed
yesterday will have further reassur-
ing effect everywhere. I consider II
dufre untrue. as reported. that repre-
sensations have been made by re-
sponsible persons to President Taft

Diaz's health Is In precarious con-
dition.

Mexico shows Improvement In the
general situation and also that Presi-

usual

has been said about the possibilities
OF Intervention in Mexico by the Unit

Il cannot conceive OF situation
in my country which would warrant
such action. My government will pro-
tect not only the interests OF our

all foreigners.
Under no circumstances could my

Intervention for a moment because
Mexico can never allow any other
lIgovsrnmeute to interiors in the, man

IAN talk of intervention by any

that there will be no opposition to it

tribute of their moral support and en-
couragement.

WOULD LEAD TO ABSURDITY.

We do not see the necessity nor the
wisdom for the bill introduced by
Senator Summers making it mis-
demeanor for a member of the legis-
1ature: or any other State officer to be
in the employ of a public service cor
portion. To carry out this idea to its
last analysis would prevent anybody
from accepting Office who had any
other position or occupation. It is
true, that legislation affecting public
service corporations comes up for
consideration. It is also true that
legislation affecting the medical pro-
fession, the newspaper profession and
the farming profession frequently
come up for consideration, and it
would be just as reasonable to con-
clude that men receiving thear daily
bread in these other occupations and
professions would be inclined to leg
islation for them, as it is to presume
that men who are in the employ OF
public service corporations would not
be honest in dealing with matters OF
legislation affecting them In other
words, to- carry this idea to it's last
analysis would prevent anybody serv-
ing as legislator who held any other
position or had any other occupation
in civil life.
The constitution Of 1895 makes ii
very clear that member Of the legis-
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1911-01-17

lature shall not hold any other posi-
tion under this State or under the
United States except notary pubic or
a place in the militia and goes on to
saw that if any member of the legisla-
ture shall exercise any of these posi-
tons of honor or profit his seat in
the legislature shall be declared va
cant. This provision of the consti-
tuition is ignored by the legislature,
because a number of its present mem
bers are holding other positions un-
der this State.
Work for a public service corpora
tion is not position under the gov
ernment, but a great many people oc-
cupy these positions as means OF
living, and We do not see why they
should be deprived Of the right to do
Sc and at the same time serve their
State as legislators. Besides, these
public service corporations, at which
Mr.. Summers bill is directed, are
very large contributors to the treas
ury of the State in that they pay a
very large amount of taxes.
Senator Summers, if he so desires,
may find some members in his own
chamber who are today violating the
State constitution. It would be a good
idea for the general assembly to see
to. it that its own members obey and
respect the fundamental law.
