Prospect for Express Comp MES.

The investment situation Of the express
companies is one that Is calling forth
many inquiries regarding the future bust
ness of the companies and their pros
pective earnings The future Of express
companies is covered by The tinan-
cier." New York. briefly as follows:
THE express companies of the United
States have only themselves TO blame for
their present predicament. The Interstate
Commerce Commission decree ordering
dras site reduction in express transporta-
ton charges may he regarded as harsh.
hut this does not of itself Imply that the
order Is unjust. The express companies
for many years have enjoyed monopoly
almost as valuable as the postal service
might have proven In private hands.
That these companies have taken every
advantage of their enforced security is
nerbaps human, but just now IT IL turning
ont TO have been a policy marked by
mighty poor Judgment. The parcel post
svstem has been a severe blow to eX-
press transportation. particularly In the
matter OF lightweight commodities. IL
has taken from the companies 30 or 10 per
cent OF this class of business. and VIII
take more in the future"

PENALTY
UPHELD

Oklahoma City, July l6.-The is per
cent. penalty added to delinquent paw
ing taxes is not in conflict with the
constitution and is binding and en-
forcable, according to the second opin-
ion Of the supreme court in the Logan
county paving tax cases, which were
appealed by ]. F. Schultz, Of Guthrie,
in an attempt to enioin the enforce
ment Of the is per cent. penalty.
The additional interest Of IS per
cent added to paving taxes after they
become delinquent and which remains
in force until they are paid is not in
terest in the general meaning Of uie
word, but in realty is a penalty to en-
force the prompt payment Of taxes ac-
cording to the syllabus Of the opinion
Sometime ago the supreme court
passed on this question when it first
was appealed from the district court
Of Logan county Later attorneys
representing Shultz asked for a re-
hearing. which was granted, for the
introduction Of additional evidence.
The present opinion Of the court,
which was handed down Tuesday, al
though not as lengthy as the former,
in effect is the same.

Secretary Bryan had two-hour con.
ference with President Wilson Tues
day, and while the Japanese question
and departmental appointments con-
sumed much Of their time. the fore
most subject before them was the
Mexican problem. Earlier in the day
It had been discussed at length at the
cabinet meeting,
Mr. Bryan declined to say what the
policy Of the United, States govern
ment would be toward any European
representations, but lntimated that
pronouncement on the situation might
be expected in short time It is
known that the administration ofll-
eials have been continuously opposed
to recognition Of the Huerta govern
ment until elections were held and it
has been the balief that any future
declaration to the foreign powers
would be along the lines Of the Laltin-
American statement made BY Presi.
dent Wilson soon after he took office.
In this he proclaimed that his admin
istration would seek a basis for inter-
course with Latin-American countries
on the principle that governments
should be set upon orderly processes
and mot upon arbitrary or irregular
force" He also stated that the Ameri.
can government would prefer those
who act in the interest OF peace and
honor who protect private rights and
respect the restraints Of constitutional
provisions.
While the administration officials
have not expressed any opinion about
Mexico specifically, 1t has frequently
been stated informally that reeogni
ton would not be extended until the
interior machinery in Mexico had been
set in motion again to elect 4 new
