The Huerta Administration Is FOL
Peace.

1t is probable that peace may be
maintained in Mexico, at least the
Euerta administration is credited
with the determination of securing
reace at any price. Huerta has been
proclaimed as the iron man VINO
will not hesitate in the means to
suppress the malcontents. This re-
mains to be seen. However, from Z.
H. T. Shaw, an expert engineer VINO
reached New Orleans few days
since from whom this interesting
statement is obtained:
"The general opinion OF those IN a
position to know" said Mr.. Shaw
lis that the conditions will now be-
come settled. The new government
seems to have the confidence OF the
better class of Mexicans, and tht
foreign element while clamoring fol
peace at any price feel confident
than order will be established in
reasonable time. Personally, / vii

On November 5, 1912, Robertson shot
and killed Joe Young in the Deaf

some together, both under the in

A Public Market.

movements always and has been
and is always at the front and IN
the lead for progressive and sub,
stantial development. Such IS ltsl
record of nearly quarter OF ceh-
fury. In it's progression it has OPP
posed vigorously and has contribute
ed its full share in defeating propo-
sitions which were inimical to the
peoples interests and welfare.
It is the Caucasian's deliberate
cpinion that the $4,000 market
house proposition is not only Ill al
yised but it should be, and we 1eel
assured that it will be overwhelmed
in defeat. In theory central mar
ket house with beautiful and at
fractive stalls with refrigerators and
aecountreme4ts and the other ct
ceteras, may be enticing, but IN
reality, a $4,000 market as pro-
posed is an extravaganza not COM
patible to the present needs OF the
people.
# would seem that in their enthu-
siasm some of the theorists, IN fan
siful flights, picture the proposed
central market crowded with ladies'
and their escorts on Sunday morn
ing. arising at 4 o'clock, and going
in quest of supplies for the day that
without discomfort is Obtainable by
felephone, but assuming that TINS
proposed $4,000 market house to
be in operation, could No. J steak
or a tenderloin, cut close to the tail
or the horns of the animal, be OBJ
tanned for less than the price
chargeable in the private market
places which are accessible in every
section and neighborhood OF the
city?
II the proposed central market
were in operation, would it not o.
the policy of the city administrator
TO compel the transfers OF all the
private markets to the central mar
ket. and if this policy were not en-
forced who of the many private
markets would transfer his business
10 the central market?
What would be the advantage o
the central market to the people?
And where is the proposed marke
to be located?
Would the central market stlmu
late competition that would be ad
yantageous to the consumers, o
would not a combine in prices b
maintained as prevailed in the Oh
market house?
From practical experience, We've
in the full sense of stern reallt!
why should the city be involved |
a bond issue which would operat
against an issue Of bonds for tn
requirement of the waterwork

II fifty or seventy-five thous
and dollar market or several mar
kefs had been suggested, ther
would then have been offered som
reason for the support OF an lssu
OF bonds, but practically the city a
this time is not in need of centrs
market, and therefore the propose
bond issue for the central markt
should be and will be overwhelme
in defeat.
