Delegates Of Mexican Dictator under-

His Resignation as Last Re-

Washington, May 19-Instructions
given by President Wilson to the
American commissioners demand that
a full and complete settlement Of the
entire Mexican question, including the
elimination of Gen. Huerta, the estab-
Iishment of strong provisional gov
eminent which would guarantee a new
election and fair treatment to all fac

accomplished by the mediators' confer

Lehman, former solicitor general, and
Diplomatic Secretary III. Perceval
Dodge, left for Niagara Falls on Tues

While outlining the above require

commissioners to place themselves in

ly necessary.
Intimations that have come from
the three Huerts delegates since their
visit to this country showed that they
had realized Huerta's elimination was
regarded as essential to a settlement.
and knew from the outset that unless
they came prepared to deal with this
phase of the problem their efforts
would be fruitless.
The Huerta delegates, too, it is
learned from persons who have talked
with them, understand thoroughly that
the scope of the mediation has been
broadened beyond the difference which
arose out of the arrest at Tampico of
American bluejackets, and now com
prises the entire Mexican problem.
The Huerta delegates are said to
be ready to recommend Huerta's re-
tirement, but only on the condition
that definite understanding is
reached on the kind of government
that is to follow.

III our present sy stem of taxation
The present system is a handi
cap to all Improvement, as the
tax upon Improvements is a spe-
cies of taboo upon all efforts at
improving property. The person
al tax is nearly always unjust
and inequitable 1t is most east
ly lodged by the wealthy man,
and presses most heavily on the
poor man. The personal proper
ty of the wealthy man is very
frequently of kind, the value OF
which is not readily 20 be assessed
by the average assessor. who
wishes to act i'll good faith. A
graduated land tax and income
tax would be more prefera BILE to
the present system. Furthermore
there is much unnecessary duph-
cation i'll public utilities such as
the public schools. One good
central school will furnish ade-
quate educational facilities for a
large tract of country 1t will
give much better results with a
tar less expense of up-keep than
SO many little one and two room
buildings every mile or so.
The government and its acces-
sories should be conducted in a
business like way to secure the
best possible results from the ex
penditures. When the public bus
mess is conducted for the greatest
efficiency and with the minimum
of expense then much of onr tax
trouble will be eliminated.
