CARRANZA LIFTS
HIS BAN ON OIL
First Chief" Decides After
Hearing About Anger of
Foreign Nations.
VILLA PROMISES HIS AID
Convention May Limit Powers of
Gutierrez and Make Him
Dummy President.

Anxiety over the situation in the
Mexican oil fields was relieved to a
considerable extent yesterday with the
receipt by the British Embassy of a
dispatch announcing that CarranZa
had removed the embargo on the ex-
portation OF oil.
This dispatch came from Charge
Hohler, at the British Legation in Mex
leo City Though the State Depart
ment has not yet received any news to
this effect from its representatives In
Mexico, there is no doubt felt here that
the British charge d'affaires was cor
rectly informed.
Details Not Received.
No details OF Carranza's action were
given in the dispatch. 1t is believed,
however, that Carranza probably has
given permission for the resumption of
exportations- OF on. but that his DEGREES
with regard to the oil lands still stand.
These DEGREES threatened Confiscation Of
all oil properties operated without his
permission, and also confiscation If
any new wells or properties developed.
Though the issuance of these DEGREES
has given the oil companies great cen
cern,- the han upon expectation was the
chief cause of the acuteness of the situ-
alton, as many of the oil wells are SusE-
ers, the flow of which cannot be stopped.
Were expectation long prohibited, the
companies would be compelled to let the
oil go to waste and spread over the cOIn-
tryside Consequently, permission 10 re-
sumo expectation will, it is believed, af-
ford very material relief, while the situa-
ton regarding the Carranza DEGREES is
being adjusted.
What influences are directly responsible
for the action of CarranZa reported TO
the British Embassy is not known here.
Both the State Department and the en-
bassy have made the most vigorous rep
reservations to Carranza, but neither
has received any word in response to
these representations. The State Depart
ment has not even received the texts of
the Carranza DEGREES, for which it tele-
graphed to Consul Canada. at Vera
Cruz, several days ago.
Villa May Aid Oil Men.
The Carranzista agency here yesterday
manifested concern over the situation
with regard to the oil properties Con-

PRESIDENT HEARS AF.L.
LEGISLATIVE DESIRES
Gompers Urges Workmen's Compensa-
ton. Convict Labor, and Seamen's
BilIs-Union Men Encouraged.

President Gompers and the executive
council Of the American Federation of
Labor called upon President Wilson last
night to submit recommendations on leg
lslation in which their organization is
interested. The labor leaders were ac-
cOmpanied to the White House by Secre-
tary of Labor Wilson.
The President was urged to sign the
immigration bill, to give his support to
the general idea of generous compensa-
ton for injured workmen as embodied
IN a number of measures pending in Con-
gress, and to approve tho convict labor
bill and the seamen's bill, which already
are nearing the final legislative stages.
Mr.. Gompers said on leaving the White
House that the Presidents reception to
the council had been most cordial, and
that he was encouraged by the attitude
the President revealed toward the recon-
nendations laid before him.
Under normal conditions, human be-
ings perspire about twice as much when
asleep as when awake.

sultations were sought by Charles A.
Douglas, counsel for the agency, with the
British Ambassador and Secretary of
State Bryan, following which messages
were sent to CarranZa, impressing upon
him the seriousness of the situation and
asking him to make such a statement as
he might consider proper with a view
to allaying the apprehensions entertain
ed in official quarters here. No response
was received from Carranza during the
day, however.
At the villa agency it was declared
that the oil companies need only to
wait until the Villa troops defeated
the Carranzistas in the Tampico dis
trict. and all would be we'll with them
again Villa, it was declared, will see
that the oil interests are treated fair
ly. just as soon as he gains military
control over the Tampico district. The
prediction was made that Villa would
have Tampico within less than thirty
days.
From Monterey it was reported that
Villa forces have entered that city,
while between that city and Nuevo
Laredo a Carranza force is tearing up
the railroad tracks. The evacuation
of Nuevo Laredo by the Carranza
forces is said to be imminent.
Discuss Executive Position.
At Mexico City, according to State
Department dispatches, the convention
is now engaged in the discussion of a
plan Of government proposed by the
Zapata members. This Zapata plan is
quite elaborate, providing for the con-
tinuance of the provisional Presidency
for a year. subject to removal by the
convention.
The plan really gives the provisional
President no powers of any conse-
QuenCe. reseTving to itself the right of
appointing and removing members of
his cabinet, making the cabinet mem
bers responsible to the convention in
stead of to the provisional President It
is also provided that there shall be a
permanent committee to act for the
convention at times.

HOW CAN THAT MILLION BE SAVED?

So much has been said about possible great savings to
the state through enforced economy that some may have
gained an idea that gross extravaganza has prevailed.
There undoubtedly has, as there always will be some ex-
p%enditures that might have been avoided, but they have
not been material. If all the elective state officials worked
Tor nothing, used no record books, no blanks, no postage,
cost the state nothing for either salaries or supplies, and
their clerks and stenogaphers did the same there would be
a saving OF less than $4,000 a year. The total taxes levied
In the state in 1913 were $Sy620,O00. So that less than a
hundredth part could be saved if all the elective state Of
ficlals from governor to mine inspector, drew no salaries,
used no supplies and all their clerks and assistants worked
for nothing. To bring the case right home we will take the
case OF one OF the heaviest taxpayers in Neeley, George
Stranger. Out Of the $200.10 taxes assessed against him,
less than 81 went toward ~defraying state house expenses,
including all salariesy postage, printing of laws, advertis-
ing, clerk hire, travelling expenses-everything. Would he
De willing to stint any of these to save any part of $1.96?
he pays about $1.01 toward the support of the district
courts, and about % cents toward the support of the SUI
preme court. 1t is clear that if they were abolished, the
saving would not make him rich. He pays about $685. to-
wards the support Of the state university, the agricultural
school,, the Lewiston and Albion normals and the Pocatello
Academy. Would he close them to save all of this, or
reduce their usefulness to save a part of it?
He pays 1870 toward the maintenance of the Blackfoot
and Orofino asylums, the State Industrial school at st.
Anthony, the state penitentiary, the school for the blind
and deaf at Gooding, the s~anitarium for the feeble minded
at Nampa, the Soldiers Home and the Children's Home
Finding Society at Boise. To save $3.50 a year would he
be willing to see them close or limited in usefulness?
These total $l029. The state offices can not be run for
nothing. Nobody expects them to be-. The schools cannot
be closed. Nobody wants them closed. The asylums, the
~reformatory ,penitentiary and charitable institutions car

QUIT TALKING, AND ACT.

During the campaign, Candidate Alexander stated from
every platform, that if elected governor, ne would save
the people 81, 900, 900 in reduction of taxes during his term.
In his message to the legislature he said this amount could
be saved. He presented no concrete plan however, by
which the saving could be effected. The house of repre-
%sentatives, noting this omission, passed a resolution re-
questing the governor to submit a plan to make the pro-
posed saving. The day following the passage of this reso-
luton the Democratic leaders criticized the resolution as
being a reflection upon the governor. The authors of the
resolution, and the majority members, disclaiming any
such intention, rescinded the action and the resolution was
recalled.
During an address at Star, last Saturday evening, Gov
ernor Alexander, possibly and probably for the purpose of
providing a reasonable excuse for his failure to make good
his unreasonable promises, said ne was hampered by the
majority members; and that if he had the legislature with
him, he could not only save 100000, but 100000 on top
of it.
Now just pause here a minute What legislation has the
governor recommended that would make any material
saving.
Let some defender of the governor speak up! What
legislation, and how much would it save?
Where are his messages pointing out possible ways of
c~urtailment?
Where and what are bills introduced by his followers.
that will effect savings and how great will the savings be?
The Press has seen no concrete plan presented and no
bills in furtherance of them. Are they in existence? If
so, the Boise papers must have been silent about them, and
members Of the legislature have been careless in supplying
their constituents with copies.
IL such bills have not been presented, the time is getting
short. The house should repass the resolution and again
invite the governor, in unmistakable language, to present
his plans. Anybody can promise to save a million in two
years, or even $4,000, 000. But how is it to be done? Hav-
ing said that he would save this much if elected, and in his
message state that a million dollars could be saved, and in
MS Star address that he could not only save 81, 000, 900 but
100000 on top of il, if the legislature would enact his sug-
gestions into law, is it not about time for him to present
ms plans in concrete form, with bills drafted after his own
ideas, and submit them to the legislature accompanied by
q special message?
It's time to quit talking and to act.
Let's have some specifications some detail; some plan,
accompanied by proof of the savings that the governor al
!eges can be made. We all are growing a little weary of
Dig promises with nothing but wind behind them.

JUDGE BILL.

The bill to provide an additional Judge for the Fifth Ju-
dicial district, comprising the counties of Bear Lake, Ban
mock, Franklin, Oneida, and Power has passed the house
and will probably pass the senate. No district in the state
has so much work, nor so badly needs relief as this. There
are about 500 cases now docketed, and new cases are being
filed faster than the old ones are being disposed Of. In
Bannock county there are about forty civil cases from one
to three years old that have not been heard for lack of time
There are about eighty criminal cases in Bannock county,
two of them murder cases, which will require probably
four months time to dispose of before civil cases, nearly
200 in number, can be reached. Court business will be in
q deplorable condition before the next legislature meets
if an additional Judge is not provided now.

not be dispensed with. Suppose they could be run at three
fourths their present cost, which is impossible, Mr.. Stang
er would not notice the difference in the amount of his
taxes. Compare these amounts with his $74 school taxes,
county and district special, with his 1880 road and bridge
tax, with his $3.50 county current expense tax, and see
where the possible road to saving is. In 1913 eight cents
out of every dollar of taxes collected was for state purpos-
es and 81 cents for county and district taxes. The road
to saving lies not through the governors office. 1t is in
affairs over which neither the governor nor the legisla-
ture have jurisdiction.
