STATE BOARD BOOSTING
COUNTY VALUES; TAX
LEVY LIKELY 3 MILLS

Oklahoma City, July 2&--Reports
received by the State Board OF Equal
ization from seventy-two out OF sew
enty-seven counties in Oklahoma
show total assessed valuation OF
$S46, 794 ,337. The five counties that
have not yet reported showed last
year a valuation OF $52,703,009. This
would make a total of S899, ,497 $40
for this year on the face OF the re-
turns. The valuation of these sew
enty.seven counties as equalized last
year by the state board Of equaliza-
tion was $S9S, $780, ,231. The board has
begun to add to the values as return
ed and if the equalization shall have
that effect throughout there will be
considerably more than this sum as
the aggregate after the state board
shall have completed equalization.
Total or variations made by the
state board in assessing public ser
vice corporations so far this year is
S219B94, ,S4E. The total Of public SER
vice corporations not vet assessed is
approximately s63,s64se7. The val
ue of all public service corporations
as assessed by the state board last
year was $2S7, 7,676,956. 1t thus ap-
pears that the total taxable values
for ad valorem taxation will be ap-
proximately $1,000, 100000 for the
year. With tax levy OF 5 mills, the
maximum limit under the constitu-
ton, the revenue to be derived from
this would be $S,9OO,0OO Added to
this should be the revenues from the
gross production tax, the ipheritance
tax and income tax and several min
or sources. The gross production
tax would produce great revenues or
dinarily, but that is tied up In IN
appeal to the supreme court and the
determination of the suit is in doubt.
1t would appear likely that the tax
levy this year for state purposes will
be up to the limit Of 3 mills, under
the constitution and that the reve-
nues will then be about equal to the
appropriations with a prospect that
the other taxes that are in doubt will
come in to create surplus that may |
possibly operate for a lower rate in
the coming year.

Washington, July 23.-Diplomatic
advices reaching Washington from
Mexico today said General Carranza
had given notice that he would not
receive communications from or
transact businss ~ with foreign gov
efnmspts which have no diplomatic
agents accredited to his government
at Vera Cruz.
Enforcement Of such an order
practically would cut off the Carran-
"a government from further commun
ication with all foreign nations which
have ministers resident in Mexico
City. II would not, according to the
informatipn received, sever his in
formal relations with the United
States government, as Carranza Is
understood to regard Consul Sill
man at Vera Cruz as properly ac-
credited agent
Agents are Net Advised.
General carranza's Washington
agents said they had no advices OF
any such action on the part of their
leader nor had they heard that it
was in contemplation. The repor'
created interest and surprise in Of
ficial and diplomatic circles, particu-
lsrly In view Of the general under
standing that foreign governments
were awaiting action by the United
States toward Mexico before recog-
nizing any government in the repdo-
lie. 1t was announced recently that
Great Britain had definitely determ-
ined to extend no recognition until a
government had been recognized by
the United States.
Although present conditions N
Mexico are being given very seriois
consideration by the Washington
government, It became known that
no decisive action is in contempia-
tion by the administration in the i'm
mediate future.

tunate incident In due time the
greater part of the American people
also arrived at the understanding of
the patriotism that had prompted Car
rama.
After Carranza had established a
government in the national capital he
issued a call to all the military lead
ers and governors of States who had
signed the plan of Guadalupe to meet
in convention on October LIST, in Mexi-
CO City, for the purpose of drafting
program of reforms and to name a
date for the calling of general cleo
tions.
Villa, ever since his first break with
Carranza, had been throwing obstacles
in the way of a successful pacification
of the country. In order to show him
that he harbored no i'll feelings Car
rama named Villa to go with General
Obregon on a peace mission to settle
local strife in the State of Sonora.
Villa in the course of these negotia-
tions became so incensed at Oregon.

who held an equal rank with him in
the Constitutionalist army, because
the latter refused to accept his unau-
thorized dictation and withdrew Cen
eral Hill from Sonora In order that
Governor Maytorena, Villas ally,
might control the situation and array
that State against Carranza's author
ity, that In a frenzy Of anger he at
tempted to kill Obregon. Fortunately
being restrained from this by subor-
dinate officers, he mechanically placed
Obregon under arrest. These events
happened but few days before the
time that the Mexico City convention
was to assemble.
When Carranza was informed of
Villas unwarranted persecution of
Oregon, he ordered the train service
north of the City of Aguascalientes,
some distance south of where Obre-
gon was held by Villa, discontinued
temporarily from Mexico City, until he
could determine whether or not Villa
intended his treatment Of Obregon to
presage a hostile military movement
against Carranza.
Villas lnsoIence.
Villa sent a telegram to Carranza
asking him to explain what he termed
this hostile action against his division
of the North. Carranza sent him the
following reply: Before answering
your message which / have just re-
ceived I desire an explanation of your
conduct towards General Obregon in
chihuahua" Instead Of Villa giving
the requested explanation to his SUI
perior officer he replied insolently that
he would no longer recognize Carran.
"a the First Chief of the Republic.
In explanation of this traitorous con-
duct Villa gave the ridiculous and pet
ty reason that he had broken with Car.
rama and was willing to plunge the
country into a civil war, because Car.
rama did not have sufficient intelli.
gence or ability to govern Mexico. How
farcical this statement really was can
be best understood when 1t is ex.
planned that Villa can scarcely read
or write and has never read a single
book in his life, whilst on the other
hand Carranza is man of education,
culture and business experience.
The convention that Carranza had
called to meet in Mexico City opened
its sessions on the appointed day. Car
rama rendered his resignation as First
Chief to the convention and asked the
delegates to accept 1t II they thought

deavor to persuade Villa to send rep.
resentatives to the convention. After
wards 1t usurped sovereign powers
that 1t did not possess and which
Carranza never sanctioned. But Car
rama, putting aside the considerations
and rising nobly to the demands Of the
situation, expressed to the conven-
ton in writing his willingness not
only to resign as First Chief in charge
Of the executive power of the nation,
but to become an exile from his coun-
try If the delegates ask this of him.
The single condition that he stated
must govern this abdication was that
Villa should resign his command Of
the Constitutionalist army Of the
North and If the convention SO de-
creed, must also leave Mexico.
Story Of Convention.
The convention on November 9Th
passed resolution calling for the re-
tirement of both Carranza and Villa.
Antonio I. Villareal, Chairman of the
convention, thus describes subsequent
events:
after the absurd selection of Gen.
eral Gutierrez as Provisional Presi-
dent for 20 days, which had been done
in Difference to the wishes Of Zapata,
myself and three others were commits
stoned to serve notice on the First
Chief that he was to resign. Villa
had already agreed, SO his representa-
tives stated, to tender his resignation.
We would have shortly secured Car
ranzas retirement had not General
Gutierrez, bullied into action by pres
sure brought upon him by Villa, sum-
moned the latter to Aguascalientes
and placed him in command of all the
military forces in the country.
"This act violated the previous reso-
luton Of the convention and was con-
trary to its own mandates, or In other
words, contrary to the desires Of what
was left of It, as 1t must be remem-
! bered that out Of the 155 registered
delegates many had withdrawn for one
reason or another until at last there
were only 60 members left and Is out
of this 60 had been recalled by their
signatories. A quorum In the convens
ton necessitated 70 delegates.
"A brief resume Of the situation at
this critical time might be stated as
follows: We said to Carranza: Retire
or we will fight you, your retirement
being made with the understanding
that Villa will be forced to withdraw.
We said to General Gutierrez and to

thereby such action would be con-
ducive to establishing permanent
peace In Mexico. The convention
unanimously rejected his resignation
and passed vote of confidence in the
Fist Chief
Villa and his army of the North had
refused to send delegates to this con-
vention. In last effort to settle the
difficulty between the Division of the
North and the remainder of the Con-
stitutionalist army. certain leaders
among the Constitutionalists proposed
that commission be sent to treat
with Villa and that the convention
itself adjourn from Mexico City to
Aguascalientes. Carranza, foreseeing,
as afterwards came to pass, the fulfil
ity of this action, opposed it. but final
ly allowed the delegates of their own
volition to move to Aguascalientes to
treat with the chiefs Of the Northern
Division.
