NEW CURRENCY
SYSTEM PLAN
IS ANNOUNCED
PLAN HAS ALREADY BEEN
PRESENTED TO GENERAL
CARRANZA-TO BE UNDER
GOVERNMENT CONTROL.

Ell PASO, Texas, Feb 21.-A plan
for new currency system in Mex
leo. including the establishment of a
national bank under conditions re-
sembling the federal reserve system
of the United States, and new cur
rensy issue, retiring the present de-
preciated CarranZa currency, has
been presented to CarranZa by his
financial advisers, according 10 "a
Mexican official who arrived here to-
day from Gnadalajara.
The new system, it is said, would
be based upon the $3.50 100000 metal
reserves said to be held in Mexican
banks.
The present Carranza currency
would be retired gradually, mora
forum having been suggested by the
de facto governments financial adj
visers to prevent the liquidation of
debts in the present fiat money pend
ing the establishment of the new issue
OF notes as legal tender.
The national bank, which would be
known as the Bank of Mexico, would,
under the plan as outlined, have q
capital stock of 250,000000 pesos.
The government would subscribe one
third, OF approximately S3,333,000
pesos, and the dember banks the re-
naming two-thirds. The latter would
be required to subscribe in proper
ton to their present reserves of metal
money. The government, the finan-
ciaI davisers say, would pay its as
sessments "as far as possible" in
metal money and metal money guar
antee the remainder by pledging half
of all export duties on precious met
ais and taxes on oils, which are to
be paid in gold. The government
would control the Bank of Mexico,
which would have the sole right to
issue currency. This new issue would
be guaranteed by the metal reserve
and further supported by bonds of
the department of the interior, bear
ing three per cent interest.

still in the abstract and was being
considered as such, but the Lusitania
agreement itself, they explained, as it
stands. merely treats of the past. and
although it gives all in that respect
for which the United States has con-
tended, officials do not feel that it
clearly guarantees against another
such disaster, because while it refers
at the outset to the assurances that
German submarines would not sink
unresisting liners, it does not re-
iterate them.

Count Won Mernstorff, the German
ambassador, that assurances that the
previous declarations will not be
abandoned in the new campaign are
highly desirable.
1t was demonstrated that the Lusi.
tania was wholly unarmed, but the
United States has since taken the
position that it considers a ship
armed Tor defensive purposes only
and a ship carrying no guns at all in
the same class. The German conten.
ton is that under the new conditions
of naval warfare, brought about by
the advent of the submarine, mer

RUSSIANS ARE GAINING
HERE'S SOME REASON WHY
EVERYTHING is SO HIGH

The situation today in the dry goods
and clothing trade presents some very
complex conditions. Prices of mate
rails have advanced all along the line
and even though they are willing to
ray advances, buyers find in many
instances certain articles cannot be
obtained at any price.
Take for instance in the clothing
line, the present cost of trimmings.
Innings, canvas, tapes, buttons and
materials increases the cost of every
grade of clothing made.
Everyone realizes that all cCmmod-
tiles, not only textiles but every other
line as well, have become more costly
owing to the unusual demand for raw
materials caused by the war In the
textile lines, however, the dye situa
ton has entered and is causing more
worry than any other feature. 10 pro-
duce attractive clothes, the finest dyes
are necessary: these dyes have hitner-
to been furnished almost entirely by
Germany But little German dyestuffs
have come into this country in the
past year. and the supply on land
is rapidly diminishing.
Heroic efforts are being made to
produce dyes in this country. At pres
ent it is said there are "a companies
engaged in this business. The produc-
ton of satisfactory domestic dyes has
not been sufficient to meet the situa-
ton, and will not be for some time
to come.
1t will be impossible to tell just how
seriously the dye situation will affect
all lines of textiles and manufactured
articles, but if some relief is not found
for the dye shortage certain colors will
soon be at a premium.
Locally many firms inform us that
certain goods cannot be gotten at any
price. 1t is going to be a big question
if the war continues.

SOUTH CAROLINA
HAS The RIGHT
TO REQUIRE DlsPENsARiEs TO
PAY ALL MONEY DUE GLASS
COMPANY BY COUNTIES.

WASHINGTON Feb. 21.--The
right of South Carolina to require
county dispensaries to pay to 1t any
money In their possession due the
Carolina Glass company was upheld
today by the supreme court. The
court also upheld the judgment of
the dispensary commission against
the glass company for $2S,419.24.
When the Carolina Glass com.
pany made claim for a balance due
under It's contract with the directors
of the South Carolina state dispen-
sary to furnish bottlesc for the dis.
pensary, the commission appointed
to wind up dispensary affairs, held
that through conspiracy between
the company and some members of
the dispensary board the company
had charged the state at least ten
per cent too much for glass bottles.
The commission therefore found the
company owed the state $51, 4S9.99 as
overcharges, making net balance
due the state of $2S,419.24.
After this decision on February
%, 1910, the Legislature passed a bill
giving the dispensary commission
power to make decisions as to in
debtedness due the state and direct
ed that where any corporation was
indebted to the state any dispensary
auditor Of county dispensary. in
debted to the same corporation
should pay the amount due the cor
poration to the state 1t also made
such Indebtedness lien on the real
estate of the corporation.
The glass company attacked the
constiutionality of the law and the
state courts held 1t invalid only as
to the real estate provision. The
company appealed to the supreme
court, contending that it should have
been held invalid as to the county
dispensary provision.

wise champoining the candidacy of DR..
Hardman except as between the doc.
tor and the present incumbent, EN-
NETT Houser, an attorney of Fort Val
ley who Is in the city for few days,
states that it is his opinion, based
upon inquiries made in different parts
of the state, that IL the race remains
between these two gentlemen that DR..
Hardman will be elected by thirty or
forty thousand majority.
Mr.. Houser keeps in pretty close
touch with the political situation by
travel and letters of inquiry and from
these sources finds the situation as
expressed above Two years ago he
supported Governor Harris but judg
ing the chief executive by the record
he has made is earnestly opposed to
his reelection. 10
Mr.. Houser takes the position that
the time has come when man OF
strong determination and courageous
spirit is needed in the governor
chair-a man who, uninfluenced by
political expediency or partisan preju
dice, will perform the duties Of the
office without hesitation, fear of disfa

goods and other articles of silk are
being advanced in prices.
Overalls of fast dyes, that usually
sold for 81. are now being sold in many
places for sips and $l.35. Small ar
ticles like pins. shoe laces, notions
and small wares, etc, have advanced
% to 40 per cent. Hats, shoes, leather
goods have all advanced.
The scarcity of many lines of raw
materials and manufactured products
is graVely menacing our many indus
tries in all lines. When we think that
almost 20,000,000 men of foreign coun-
tries who were producers are now in
the trenches, and that America is be-
ing called upon to supply this deficien-
cy, we can readily see one angle of
the present shortage. With the out
look for higher prices in all lines it
still spells prosperity for America ::
The people of the north, east, west and
south are busy in mills, factories,
mines and workshops Brunswick
will participate in this era of pros
perity that is on us.
Recently a commission of leading
French business men was in this coun-
try investigating the sources of supply
for purchasers of goods to be delivered
after the war is over. This investiga-
ton comprised everything from ma
chinery to manufactured products. An
announcement was made at that time
as a reason for the visit of this
commission that France must look to
the United States for several years
to supply us with money or credits
and with raw and manufactured ma
terials. We will be working for the
next twenty years to pay what we
owe. We will have the enormous task
of rebuilding all our plants back to
their old uses. Then We will have to
do our best to satisfy our own home
markets.. fU dU these ttff1iiTrgs WE will
have to continue to buy OF you, as we
are now doing.
The year 1916 is starting favorably
and Brunswick will obtain her portion
of this long-anticipated prosperity.

FLAG DAY.
Mammoth Street Preparedness Parade Feature of Occasion.

In honor of Flag Day Wednes- day June 14th, Nogales is going to have great preparedness street parade and every Amer ican citizen is going to assist in making the affair a great success in every way.
 The great preparedness parade will start promply at 8 o'clock Wednesday morning.
 Colonel Sage. commander of the American army stationed here, will turn out the entire force under his command and Flag Day promises to be the biggest, best ever celebrated in Nogales.
 Citizens will assemble on Arro- yo Boulevard, with the head at the Crawford Street Bridge.
 The military will march down Grand Avenue and the citizens will fall in when they have pass ed the Crawford Street Bridge.
 LINE OF MARCH:
 Grand Avenue to International Street; along terna t O n a l Street to Morley Avenue; Nor ley Avenue north to Court Street to Grand Avenue and then back to the point of start ing.
 Every citizen of the United States, in Nogales, who believes in Preparedness is expected to be in line, carrying an American Flag. No place of business should be open between 7:45 and 9 o'clock or immediately fol lowing the parade.
 The various professions, trades and lines of business should be in the parade in a body. It is not thought practical for lodges to march in a body owing to the fact that many citizens belong to several organizations. The lodges may arrange for d com mittee to represent them in the parade.
 The following is the committee appointed to see that everybody gets into lines Wednesday morn ing:
