ON MEXICO
Favors "Hands OFF, PoIicy-De-

to Do With Depression,

NEW YORK, Feb 26.-That the
United States is entering on a new
era of prosperity, that the tariff had
nothing to do with the period of bust
ness depression the country has on
perienced. and that he is in accord
with President Wilson's policy in the
Mexican situation are the high spots
in an interview given to-day by An
drew Carnegie.
You must remember" he said,
that no country travels ahead at a
uniform pace. Every nation must
have it's period of activity and times
when commerce moves at slow
pace
Il do not believe the new tariff
has had anything to do with the bust
ness depression. I believe that in time
the reduction Of the tariff will work
benefit for the American exporter.

do with Mexico he continued. But
while there is life there is hope. We
should not interfere with the Mexican
people in their choice for President.
Hands off is my idea.
Experience proves that when Il
stranger interferes in a quarrel he
gets the worst Of it. our President

a meeting of the committee at 3
o'clock Thursday afternoon at the

presented to the next legislature, Mr.
Slade entered an emphatic denial that
either his father or himself was con-
nected with it.
My father has nothing to do with
such a BILL" said Mr.. Slade. "and 1.
personally, do not approve of it. We
members of the good roads commit
tee are very friendly to motor car
owners, and we do not believe they
ought to be subjected to any special
tax OF this nature"
Mr.. Slade said he understood that
Charles L. Davis, State Game War
den, was preparing such a bill.
He has some good points in 1t, "
Mr.. Sade said. especially with ref
erence to the use of the convicts on
the roads. But l do not approve Of
the graded tax which the bill seeks
to impose on motor vehicles.
The meeting of the good roads
committee is to consider principally
a bill for the formation of State

Justice Wright, who is nationally

of his, and many notes given him by
attorneys have been allowed to go
to banks for discount; that his rela-
tions with a female litigant in a GER

the judiciary of the nation and that
he should be impeached."

willing to introduce resolutions i'm
peaching Justice Wright with the
support Of his evidence, but that he
deems the proper course to be to
bring the matter to the attention OF
