THE MEXICAN UNREST

MeNicos restlessness Is manifest again,
and indications point to another revolu-
tion, unless it is prevented through Pres
ident Wilson's moral Intervention. The
causes of the breach between Carranza
and Villa date back to the latter days
of the revolt which gave Carranza con-
troll Of the Government and have to do
principally with conflicting ambitions,
perhaps not entirely personal and with
divergent conceptions of what form and
character should be given to the new
governmental system. According to ac-
counts yesterday. Villa has massed from
40 900 to $4,000 seasoned troops in Chi
huahua and Sonora, many of them eX-

EMERGENCY TAXATION

| The war tax revenue bill. agreed upor
by the Democrats of the Ways and Mean!
Committee and framed in accordance
| with the Presidents suggestion that "suci
sources OF revenue be chosen as will be-
gin to yield at once and yield with q
certain and constant fow," was intro
duced into the House of Representatives
Monday. On the following day the COM
mittee presented its report. saying that
1.-The necessity for this legislation grows
out of the reduction of revenues derived
from customs receipts. caused by the
disturbed conditions resulting from the
war in Europe"
1t is estimated that the new taxes will
bring slO5.00O,0OO into the Treasury in a
year. In general, the measure follows
the lines OF the internal revenue laws of
the Civil and Spanish Wars, but while it
imposes many OF the old and some new
stamp taxes, 1t omits altogether bank
checks, some other kinds of commercial
paper, also medicines and perfumes. In
place of these are taxes upon gasoline,
parlor car and sleeping car tickets and
various kinds of wine. Beer pays less
tObaccos burden is not much changed
Bankers, brokers and amusement pro-
prietOrs are levied upon, and insurance
policies and telegraph and telephone mes
sages are included among sources of rev.
enuc.
Republican opposition to the bill has
Seen manifest in Congress and in the
press since 1t was first proposed. The
Boston Herald calls attention to the
fact that Canada, which is a partici-
pant in the European struggle, is i'm
posing a war tax no larger in proportion
to our own. The Chicago Herald objects
strenuously to the provision concerning
insurance policies: "A tax on life and
casualty insurance policies is a tax on
small savings. Why don't the lawmakers
put a tax on savings bank deposits and
ne done with II? They are doing about
the same thing" Limited praise for
the bill is given in the New York
World in the remark that it does not

lines.
The principal criticism of the war tax |
measure is that II IS wholly unneces- |
sary. The new tax Is not a war tax" |
says the Brooklyn Citizen, "it is a tribute |
gance." The Albany Journal calls 1t "a
war tax in time OF peace" and declares
that Congress framed it In the hope of
the effects of 'its free-trade-
ward policy" The proposal for the es-
adjustment OF a taxation commission

Yesterday the war tax bill came up
lnder a rule limiting debate to seven

littee on Thursday was denounced by

The bill passed the House by a vote OF
80 to 1856.

WATERWAYS AND PORK

On Monday evening. after n week of
continuous fighting, the allied flibustering
forces in the Senate overwhelmed the adj
vocates of the rivers and harbors bill and
forced them to an unconditional surrender.
The motion of Senator Bankhead. of Ala
bama, Democrat. to recommit the bill to
the Commerce Committee with instructions
to report new bill carrying a total ap-
preparation not exceeding S20,OOOOOO, was
debated eight and half hours. The
motion prevailed by vote OF q to %,
exactly a quorum. Sixteen Democrats
and eleven Republicans voted to recommit
the bill. Seventeen Democrats, four Re
publiCans and Cne Democrat registered
themselves as in favor OF 1t as it stood.
The success OF the fllbuster. which was
led by Senators Burton, of Ohio; Ken
yon, OF Iowa, and Norris OF Nebras ska,
was warmly applauded by administration
newspapers as well as by the press gem
orally. The New York World and the

ministration, Joined with the New York

papers in declaring that the flibusters
had done a real and lasting service TO
the country. There seems to be what
approaches unanimity OF opinion on the
ethics OF pork bills" The new maxi

FOREIGN RELATIONS

The steamship Robert Dollar sailed
from Rio de Janeiro, Wednesday, flying
the British colors Two weeks ago the
Robert Dollar made application at Rio
for transfer of Canadian registry to
American. under the registry law of
August 49, The British Consul protested
and the transfer was refused. The incl
dent derives It's Importance from Ms ex-
preston of the British attitude toward
President Wilson's plan for the purchase
of foreign steamers to be operated by a
government-controlled corporation. The
President, on Thursday, said that the
ship purchase bill would not be taken
from the Administration legislative cali
endar.
II was announced in Washington that
President Wilson had determined to toler-
ate no longer the offensive public COM
ments of foreign diplomatic representa-
tives concerning matters of domestic COM
cern. This announcement relates particu-
larly to the alleged statements of Sir
Lionel Garden, former British Minister to
Mexico, crlticising our Governments Mex
lean policy; of Baron Wilhelm Won
Schoen, OF the German diplomatic serv-
Ice, who is said to have declared that
Japan wants war with this country; and
of A. Rustem Bey, the Turkish Ambas-
sador to the United States whose refer
ences to lynchings in the Southern States
and water cures" in the Philippines
were not kindly received at the White
House. It is believed that the American
Government has asked for Rustem Bey's
recall or will do so, and that It will
take official action with reference to the
Won Schoen and Garden Interviews.
Russia and Sweden this week informed
Washington of their intention to sign
peace commission treaties with the United
States. These treaties will be like those
which have been negotiated with Great
Britain, France, Spain, China and 90 other
nations Of the world, and which provide
that all disputes which cannot be set
tied through the ordinary diplomatic
channels shall be referred to a perma-
nent commission, and that hostilities
shall not begin within year after such
reference of the questions at issue.
