HUERTA UNABLE TO
SAVE THE COUNTRY

Mexico City, April 11.-That the
Withholding of official recognition by
the United States materially has
weakened the Huerta government is
the opinion generally expressed by
! public and privately admitted in GER
tain Mexican official circles.
The new rebel movement has made
greater progress than has the pro-
visional government in suppressing
insurgency and 1t no longer Is a
secret that the condition Of the treas
ury is such as will not permit the
continuation of military operations
much longer. This has been public
ly admitted by the Mexican minis
ter Of the interior, Garcia Granados.
The chamber of deputies has not
approved the proposed foreign loan,
but its failure to take up this mat
ter Is said to be due to desire to
avoid further embarrassing the I'm
ance department, which so far has
been unable to arrange for the fo;a.
ton Of the loan, Notwithstanding re-
cent assurances to that effect from
London. II is assumed by the gov
eminent that its inability to issue the
loan Is due directly to non.recognition
by Washington.
Editorial writer's comment upon this
phase of the situation and there has
begun propaganda in the local press
tending 10 place responsibility for
the fate Of Mexico on the United
States.
Further complicating the financial
difficulties of the government is the
steady increase in the exchange rate,
which within week has mounted
from practically parity to 22O and
that rate only is available to favored
patrons. In an effort to check the
upward tendency of the exchange
rate the minister of finance Is urging
congress to authorize an increase OF
ten per cent in the export tax on
gold. This has brought Mexicans to
the realization that even the national
currency no longer is maintained on
h gold basis.
Business conditions in Mexico are
rejecting seriously the revolutionary
Shelters at Monterey,
Velardena and Torreon have been
closed for lack of fuel. At San Luis
Potosi the smelters are running on
half time and at Aqua Calientes at
a third capacity. At Chihuahua and
Matehulala the mills are running on
full time.
Railroads Crippled
Transportation facilities remain Sc.
riously crippled.
Rebels practically control the states
of Sonora, Coalhila and Durango,
e the situation in the south where
Emilano Zapata still is in control has
not changed materially. In Nuevo Le-
on the federals slowly are regaining
possession Of the railroad to Laredo
on the Texas border but the rebels
pushed back from this line Of COM
munication, are extending the zone
OF operation far to the eastward.
In southern Coahulla the rebels
hold the immediate neighborhood
around Toreon and between there and
chihuahua interrupt traffic on the
Mexican Central railroad almost at
will.
So uncertain 10 the situation in
the state Of Durango that the gov.
eminent itself IL unable to say wheth.
er the state capital is held by gov
eminent forces. There Is no commun-
ication between Durango and Mexico

Naturally there is much

their heads ominously and
declaring that the small mer-

full steam and the mail order

to mailing flour, bacon, shoes,
pitchforks, lawn mowers,

Delinquent Tax
List Is Large

The current number of
the Choteau Acantha pub
fishes the delinquent tax list,
personal and real, for the
year. All taxes on real estate
remaining unpaid on January
21st, and on personal proper
ty, the first Monday in Feb
rnary, will subject that pro-
perty to public sale, to satisfy
the claim Of the county.
In years past it has been
the pleasure of the Pioneer
Press to comment on the
comparatively small number
of persons in Cut Bank and
community who allowed
their taxes to become delin-
quent. In truth, this state
ment cannot be made this
year. The number of per-
sons in Cut Bank and COM
munity who allowed the final
date to 60 by without pay
ing, this year, is very large.
1t is rather surprising, to say
the least, that persons with
good business acumen and in
every way capable of paying
their tax and avoiding the
interest attached after the
final date published, should
allow a lapse of this kind,

ASSESSMENT RAISE
APPLIES TO CASH ALSO
New Ruling Makes a Man Pay
Tax On Money He
Hasn't Got.

Frankfort, KY, July Stocks,
bonds, notes and cash are subject
to equalization the same as any
other class of personally. When
the State Board of Equalization has
raised real estate in county, the
raise applies to all classes of per-
sonalty also, including cash and
commercial paper.
Many County Clerks have been
inquiring about this, as heretofore
commercial paper and cash have
been treated as exempt.
Assistant State Auditor G.. B.
Likens consulted with Assistant
Attorney General M. M. Logan and
both agreed that the law plainly
specifies that the personality with
out exception is raised per Sc the
amount of the raise placed on real
estate. Thus, If a man lists 500
cash, and his real estate is raised
10 per cent, his assessment on the
cash will be raised 10 per cent,
and he will pay taxes on $110. If
he has been honest in returning his
cash and the value of his land, he
will be paying on 10 per cent. more
land and cash than he owns. This
is among the problems with which
the General Assembly will have to
deal when it comes to consider tax
reform legislation.
Many tax lists have been made
out under the old system, and some
confusion is expected to arise. AS
a consequence sheriffs in some
counties who have been profiting
by the raise on commercial paper
and cash will lose some of the usu-
fruct of office. Instances have come
to light where the clerk has made
out his tax list, emitting notes,
bonds, stocks and cash from the
raise imposed on real estate and
other personally, while the sheriff
has gone ahead and collected the
raise on the omitted property. AS
he was not charged with this, 1t has
gone to his profit. In not every
case, however. has II been due to
dishonesty. but the sheriff simply
failed to follow the clerk in omit
ting the commercial paper and
cash, collected on it. and accounted
for the total amount with which he
was charged.

WILL CARRY OUT THE
WISHES Of DEAD Man
Ashes of John Lillard, Eccentric
Kentuckian, TO Be Cast
In Streams.

Harrodsburg. KY, July John
Lillard, sixty-six, fifteen years an
invalid, died Friday night, accord
ing to his own prediction, made re-
peatedly within the last month.
He was a charter member of the
first crematory built in Cincinnati,
and according to positive instruc-
tions given his two staunch friends,
H. C. Wood and James T. Cook and
which they promised him on the
day preceding his death to carry
out, his body was sent to Cincin-
natl for incineration.
Mr.. Cook went to bring the ashes
back in an urn. One day this week
he will proceed to comply with a
promise made Lillard, to carry the
ashes to the mouth of Dix and Ken
lucky rivers at the spot where the
waters of the two rivers mingle
which is in sight of and few hun
dred yards above High Bridge. A
few friends have been asked to at
tend this ceremony which will not
be accompanied with any form OF
religious rites.
Mr.. Lillard was an eccentric
bachelor. afflicted by paralysis and
his death was fastened by locomo'
tor ataxia.
He was reporter for the COur.
ier-Journal in Louisville during
1870 to 1874, after which he was
for years a travelling salesman and
known to druggists In every State
in the Union. He was collector
of wide repute and left some rare
specimens of archaeological and ar
wonders.
The death of Mr.. Lillard has re
called to mind an incident which
occurred the day upon which hi
mother passed away. His father
Benjamin Lillard. quite an aged
man at the time. was so overcom,
at sight of his wife laid out in /;
shroud that he remarked to tn,
friends assembled: She's dead
believe I'll die and go with her.

and died in few minutes. Thei
bodies were buried at the same tim
