Can Hold on Long.

Naturally. if Huerta were to Cypress
the people too heavily he would speed
ily become so unpopular that this
would lead TO his ultimate downfall,
and at the same time bring ruin on the
country. Nevertheless. under any cir
cumstances dealing with the financial
question and not considering the posi-
hility of assassination or great rebel
victory or any other unexpected event,
Huerta is certain TO hold on for long
time 1t is the consensus of opinion
among the best observers OF the situa-
Gon-eXpert fnanciers. diplomats and
merchants-that Huerta has not yet
struck the bottom of all his resources.
The Minister of Finance Senior de La
Lama. is working on new plans 10 take
care of the future. The establishment
Of a Federal bank was recently pro-
posed, with the view Of issuing S40O,-

Mexico's Financial Condition Serious, but the
Limit of Its Taxation Capacity
Nowhere Near Reached.
NEW SOURCES OF INCOME AVAILABLE
Well Informed Financiers Tell The tribune Correspondent
the Dictator Can Hold On for at Least the
Rest of the Present Year

ing of readjusting the prov isions OF the
real e:tate tax. which is based on in
come. II is proposed TO regulate the
tax according to the actual value Of
the property. With proper readjust-
ment. such a tax would increase the
revenue fully S1j,000,O00.
Another source of legitimate taxation
which would not he oppressive lies in
an income tax at reasonable rates, and
this would produce another Sl5,O00.T0.
Most Of the reports touching on the
condition of the Huerta finances are
true. His treasury is nearly empty
and the government is struggling 10
make both ends meet. However, this
condition improves day by day because
Of the fact that ii Is not necessary to
lay out as much money as the situation
required in the beginning.
Cost of Munitions.
II is estimated that munitions for
the army cost the government from
$4,000 to $500 900 a week. The
government estimates that its weekly
bill for ammunition amounts TO some e
thing less than that. The government
estimate Of its income gives the amount
as about $1,000, 900 year. This seems
10 be exaggerated by AT least $4,000. 600.
There must also be considered other
war expenditures But should the def
cit prove 20 be even $15,000,000 year,
IT is entirely possible that the govern
ment can obtain sufficient funds through
further taxation. As it is now. Mexico
has not been taxed yet to anything
near its limit
Another necessary consideration Is
that the Federal troops in many places
are paid through local taxation. the
commanders of these branches of the
army forcing loans This relieves the
government OF great burden. but 1t
makes the government very unpopular
in the affected communities.
The governments chief sources OF
revenue are the customs. which bring
in $27 900, 900; the internal stamp
taxes. which produce s11,000.OOo, and
the federal taxes on the mining of gold
and silver. and on tobacco, alcohol cot
ton. petroleum, etc, which bring IN
s2S. 100000.

Uv PHILIP II. rATCHIN.

Mexico city. March 10-For many
months it has been said in washington
that Huerta's administration is cruin
Hing: that his army is continually peiis
,,,tnointed by the rebels, who nave
succeeded in capturing whatever CITY
they marched against, and that ths
provisional President is doomed u
failure through decreasing financial re-
sources.
!, was bv means Of this financial
weakness that President wilson hopeu
70 see Huerta overthrow. Washington
used powerful influences to block All
proposed loans by European natlohs'
and succeeded IN doing so except Tor a
few small advances. President WILSON
was particularly pleased when, on jan
nary l. Huerta failed TO meet the bona
interest. and il was believed in WASH
iugton that this definitely indicated
that the end was at hand.
In consequence Of President Wilson
faith in the policy of financial starVa-
tion the question Of how long Huerta 5
money will last and whether he VIII be
able TO get more becomes paramouhtN
important
While it is true that Huerta is en-
harrassed to the extent that he now
leeds ready cash TO take care OF MS
armys needS-especiall 10 buy num-
lions. which are obtained abroad. where
the manufacturers insist on cash pay
ments-his financial collapse is distant.
a careful investigation shows that'
with proper management, within the
scope Of the ability of Mexican imam =
ciers. Huerta can obtain all the money
he needs without resorting 10 eXtraor-
binary taxation. If the ordinary legit-
innate measures of taxation fail, Huerta
can resort to the issuance of fat cur
rcncy and then enforce unreasonable
war taxes TO obtain great sums suftl-
,ient to carry on the campaign indef-
nitely.
