17)-Alvaro obregon Is the man OF
the hour in Mexico, according to
scouts returning 10 headquarters
from the south. The rame OF the
one armed general Is on the lips Of
every Mexican; he is regarded as
the staunch supporter OF Mexican
national integrity and his popularity
far exceeds that OF General Car
rama among the rank and file Of
natives. ObregoRs attitude in the
FL Paso conferences regarded as en-
tirely uncompromisinZ. has served
10 heighten his popularity.
Ask any Mexican soldier who Is
the Mexican leader and he will re

Mexican Trouble
Now waiting Game"
BY CARL o. GROAT.

(SfdT Correspondent United Press
WASHINGTON. May l7.-Unless
the Mexican populace forces him TO
make a new demonstration of ap-
prevail against the stay OF the Amer
lean expedition in Mexico, Gen.
Carranza will remain silent for
some time TO come. according 10 the
Official view today
Conclusion OF working arrange
ment by the recent Scott-Obregon
conference has eliminated, for prac-
tical purposes, the necessity for
much further diplomatic negotia-
tions. While there may be sporadic
efforts 10 have Carranza' recent
withdrawal suggestions answered,
n appears likely both governments
will be content TO play a waiting
game.
The United States. in return for
Carranzista concessions, pledged
that IL would withdraw its forces a.
soon as border banditry is broken.
This task can be the better and
more quickly accomplished under
the working arrangement.
Asked today 10 estimate the
length of stay of the expedition,
Secretary of War Baker declared:
II cannot make a guess on that.
It depends upon a state Of facts"
One complicating phase is the
reported activity OF villista leaders
in aligning poems on their side by
promises that villa himself IL TO
lead an expedition which will kill
OF the "gringoes." Gen. Pershing's
forces, however. are in position TO
cope with vastly superior force OF
Mexicans. hence this move. while
perhaps dangerous. can undoubtedly
be scOtched.

s.r. parker's Newspaper Httack

Hon. John II. Parker thinks that the
newspapers Of the State are unduly IN
fiuenced by the printing contracts which they
get under the law-by competitive bids.
He thinks that the scale of prices which they
are paid for the work is too high. Of course
Mr. Parker, as politician is opposed to any
kind Of commissions, but as business man
does he follow the same rule? AS plain
business man cotton factor for instance
what does he say about commissions? Does
he, like other factors, charge one dollar per
bale, for cotton to be shipped on advances!
And further does he charge one dollar Tor
each bale of cotton that is not shipped.
So after all the question of what is far
pay depends on whether it applies to public
business or private business.
The newspapers gets paid just enough
to make ends meet, which is proof that 1t Is
not overpaid. Can the cotton factor say as
much? Every cotton planter IN the State
know that the cotton factor made con-
tract with his borrowers The terms OF which
bound the planter to nay one dollar per bale
for every bale which he failed to ship under
his contract Every planter knows what
burden this stipulation worked. Every
planter appreciates the injustice Of the rule
Now can MIR. Parker say that he was al
exception as factor and did not exact thi:
penalty from the planter?
Unless he can so announce, it will be II
bad taste for him to discuss What is proper
compensation for public printing.

An Obnoxious Tax

The Vindicator is absolutely correct
in its conclusions. The privilege" tax
is one of the most obnoxious now on the
statute books and we hope to see the
next Legislature repeal it. In fact every
candidate for representative in either
house Of the General Assembly should
have been sounded on this very question
during the campaign. Florida Parishes.
The privilege tax is very objectionable
tax, which is good reason for its passage.
Nowadays the, legislatures and congresses
never consider whether a tax is right and
the sole question is what will it
produce.
The citizen should be satisfied if he can
prevent the passage of additional especial
privilege tax" laws. He need waste no time
trying to repeal unjust tax laws. Science
has not yet found remedy for removing
this cancer from the body polite. Tax laws
when once fastened on US become eternal.

these unfortlnates there can be no doubt

Our representatives in congress assure
us that there is plenty of money appro-
priated to meet this emergency but that us
use is dependent on the recommendation Of
some special agents. -.
One of the great troubles with this
government is that there is too much red tape
in the transaction of it's affairs.
1t looks very much like the people IN the
overfowed sections now stand line chance
to enjoy sample Of this red tape system.
The men sent there should announce
what they intend to, Go so that the state
authorities can act in time to prevent as
much distress as possible.
II There is always danger that the gov,
eminent will be imposed upon in the lssu.
ance OF rations, but the fact remains that
every overflow brings to some sufferers ao
solute want. To relieve this want is one OF
the duties of the state, even though a few
thousand dollars is wasted thereby.
The. officials in charge of this WORT
should put the issue up to the special agent
at once. If relief is impossible from thl
source then assistance should be sough
