in the United States.
London. June Ga movement is
under way To organize in the British
empire bar association modelled on
the lines of the American Bar assoc
citation. Lord Haldane spoke before the
American Bar association at its an
nual meeting last year and it is be-
licved that the enthusiastic reports
which he brought back of the activ-
tiles of the American organization has
FASTENED the determination to initiate
il for the bar OF the British empire.
II has long been recognized that the
English bar sorcly needs such an or
ganization which would meet at stat
ed times for the discussion of ques-
tons Of the highest interests TO the
profession. and il is deemed unworthy
If bar with such traditions that it
should not enjoy the opportunities af-
forded by an organization like the
American Bar Association. The Bar
Council meets once year for half an
hour 10 adopt its annual report and
pass votes of thanks, but this does
not correspond with the great annual
conventions OF the American organiza-
ton.
The movement will begin with the
bar of England. then the bars of the
United Kingdom viii be taken in and
it is planned To include the
dominions and colonies Il is expected
that the definite proposals Of the or
eanizations will be submitted to the
English bar in short time

trict, in which Mexico city is. and the

lands and real estate comes TO nearly a.

bankrupt There may he little money in
the treasury: the soldiers may be paid
once in a while in wales. or promissory
notes, or may be not paid at all; but this
does not mean that Huerta's resources
are exhausted. Huerta himself has the
solution. once he said:
1t is no good praying for money. II
YOU want money. you just find out where
it is and then 90 get it. That's the way
I do
And there is plenty Of money for him to
20 and get. lie and his financial men
know where the money is and they will
get it. In reality, Huerta's resources are
very large. 1t is quite possible for him 10
live through imposition Of legitimate war
taxes. loans and so cn5 but if such meas
ures should for any reason, including
graft or mismanagement,o or both, fail TO
produce the desired revenue Huerta can
still go to the country and extort money
fIom the rich.
His theory is this: He can take money
with impunity and Justification from the
wealthy landholders who get great
revenues out of the country but do moth
ing for it, unless living in Europe be a
boon TO the nation; he can levy further
war taxes, and thus obtain sufficient rev.
enues 10 meet his foreign obligations and
buy his munitions Of war. while for the
payment Of his troops and the expenses
OF carrying on the government he can
force the people TO accept fiat currency
II Is. OF course dangerous policy to
pursue, one that will bring the country
TO a state Of financial and economic
chaos approxmating ruin, and ultimately
Huerta will fall. but in the meantime he
will have had his fling and his effort
which must be considered sincere. to es-
tablish his rule. A great damage to
Huerta is that he will be compelled in
pursuing this policy. 10 levy heavy taxes
on the richer states where the people
generally speaking. are too much en-
CROSSED iu their work 20 indulge in rev.
olutiOn When the burden gets too
heavy in such states there viii be pro-
test against the rule OF Iluerta and the
people will object TO paying the bill for
the misbchayior Of the people OF the rev
olutionary provinces. When this protest
becomes strong enough Huer,a will find
more states rising against him. This,
however. is obviously a matter Of consid-
cradle time. probably a year or more,
and u ~ not likely that circumstances
will permit Washington TO wait until
then for lIuerta's elimination.
The Mexican Department of Finance
estimates that the fiscal year OF l9l4-'i5

mout Of 10 0o0Wo pesos. and that the
