difficulty experienced in Germany in
organizing a national institution was
overcome by substituting a privately
owned stock company for the co-opera-
tive form of organization of the Ger
man associations. In Germany all of
AN association are members of the as
sociation and all have the right to
vote in all matters concerning the con-

of these associations this vote is sell
dom exercised directly, but still the
individual farmer has a voice In the
French organization it was obviously
impossible to give the farmers a rep
resentation in the mortgage bank
since it was a privately owned affair.
But what the farmers lost in that way
the government made up by saying to
the land bank: Though you may
manage your own affairs, you must
not charge the farmers more than a
certain rate of interest; you must di-
vide your profits and invest your capi-
tai as you are told. and you must allow
the government to appoint your gov

company"

Business will not be at a standstill
tomorrow on cleanup day. The in

Wednesday was erroneous and bust

The business men of the city seem

they are not disposed to obey the be-

provision of the constitution grant
ing immunity from arrest to members
OF the Mexican congress and an
nounces that he will, from time to
time, issue decress because OF the dis
solution OF the congress proclamation
dated Oct. II.
The cabinet consumed so much

not reached. None of the members
would comment on Huerta's decree
establishing a dictatorship.
Copies OF the proclamation by HUI
erta announcing himself as dictator
of Mexico were received at the state

at cabinet meeting.
An early answer is to be made by
the government to the United States

lean deputies, according to the for
eign minister, Querido Moheno. 1t
was the subject of the cabinet meet
ing. The reply will arobably arrive
late today.

OF 'Shaughnessy. Neither O'Shaugh-
messy or the foreign minister. Mo-
heno, would discuss the note. but
later described it as ''intemperate."
At the conclusion of the cabinet
meeting Moheno admitted the receipt
OF the communication, saying: This
marks a new epoch in the diplomatic
relations with the United States
The conduct of O'Shaughnessy Will be
