Efforts of international As
ISOLATION to Get Recall
of Decree Fails.

Reports from the International Min
ing association, negotiations in MeXic0
City with the Carranza government, on
the new decree of March l. increasing
mining taxes, were that the recognized
government has not receded from its
original position.
Negotiations between the Interna-
tional Mining association and the Car
rancista department of finance are still
IN progress. working towards the re-
calling of the decree establishing new
and increased taxes all on claims in
Mexico.
One of the reasons American and
foreign mining interests are not rush
ing back into northern Mexico. is that
no reply has been forthcoming from
the first chief" or his minister Of
ferred.
The purpose Of the protest against
the new mining decree by the Inter-
national Mining association is osten-
sibly TO have CarranZa recall it until
a Constitutional government has been
formed for Mexico. and the matter can
De debated in a Mexican congress The
mining men claim also that when Car
rama issued his decree on mining taxes
ne was not then head of a government
IN control of all Mexico.
Gen CarranZa, it is said, claims that
ms decree works out similar to the in
come tax law in the United States.
Means 400 Per Cent Increase.
Under the normal or old law, the
tax was y per cent on bullion at the
export point, and Is per cent on ore
at the mine II was six pesos per
perunencia up to % on property, with
a sliding scale thereafter that worked
a reduction. The new pertinencia tax
means an increase of 400 per cent, the
mining men claim, over the normal
property tax, payable in gold.
Gold Bullion 10 Pesos n kiIO.

association says, against an old one

These new taxes are not to be col

women Doing Work of Men.

A short time ago farmers in the
United Kingdom were declaring that
wOmen could not possibly take the
place of men on the land. Women
have been engaged ever since In prov
Ing that they could do so. The farmer
has been constrained to admit, step
by step, at first grudgingly, but later
with generous appreciation, that there
is nothing that a mar a do on the
land that a cannot do, not even
blowing excepted. Now there comes
word from France that the Agricultu-
raj Society of the Hautes Alpes has
awarded a number of medals to wom-
en- who, in the absence of the men,
have carried on the field work In those
regions, for the most part unaided. n
special medal was granted to one wom-
an who did the entire sowing and reap
ing of her land single-handed.

COMPLETE REPUBLICAN
REORGANIZATION NEEDED

Nearly all of the States are claim
ing that the National Committee made
n mess of the campaign. In conse-
quence there is much talk of an i'm
mediate reorganization of the party
machinery. In fact, not a few of the
leading men of the party are urgently
demanding it.
1t is argued that Chairman Wilcox
cannot seriously object. Early in the
summer he made il plain that he in
tended to be the actual as well as the
titular commander of the Republican
forces in the field; that he intended
to take full responsibility for the cam
paign; that he would make all the
decisions for the National Commit
tee; and that If Mr.. Hughes were
elected he would be entitled to the
credit, while if Mr.. Hughes were de-
feated he would be blamable. At
that time, of course, Mr.. Wilcox
looked upon the election of Mr..
Hughes as assured-and so did every
body.
The election, which was Won in
June, was lost in November because,
during the critical weeks of late Sep
TENDER, the National Committee neg
lected to inform itself of the real con-
ditions which existed in States where,
as has since been demonstrated, there
was a widespread detection from the
national ticket for one reason or an
other-in most cases to be attributed
to the "kept-us-out-of-war" slogan. In
Kansas, especially, no serious attempt
was made to check the spread of this
particular heresy, though capable
leaders in that State repeatedly
warned the Eastern managers that it
was a vital enace In addition, the
tariff was neglected in States, especi-
ally in Ohio, where it has always been
and still is the party's most potent
issue.
At the beginning of the anvass
Mr.. Hughes intended to lay special
emphasis upon a~fter-the-war condi-
tions, and to hammer home the COR
yiction that this country will need
the most thorough economic prep4r-
edness for the tremendous CONNER
cial warfare which will ensue. TITS
theory of campaigning was absolutely
correct, and why the candidate was

diverted from it in order to take up
the Tittman case and other minor
offenses of the Wilson administration
at a time when he vas expected to
make his greatest impression IN the
country is inexplicable upon n
other notion than that the National
Committee advised against it. In This
respect the committees advice was
bad, as it was more frequent. than
not, and the whole record of head
quarters is such that the parry lead
r shrink from passing the next four
years under a continuance Of such
guidance.
With the opening of Congress there
will be many conferences on this
point; and the prevailing opinion now
is that if some effective method can
be found there will be an immediate
move toward putting the party ma
chinery in condition for a winning
campaign two years hence, to be fol-
lowed by complete party success in
1920.
