Philadelphia immediate crisis
in American Mexican relations was
reached and passed at the second ses-
sion OF the American Mexican com
mission.
On the result of the session depend
ed whether conferences would con
tinue, or relations between the United
States and its neighboring republic
would revert to their former status.
A brief statement was made follow
ing the session setting forth the
views of Gen. Carranza on the pro-
tocol signed by the commission at At
lantic City last month. For the first
time, also, it was announced officially
that Carranza had refused to ratify
the protocol as agreed upon by the
commission.
While no official mention was made
of the status of the present confer
ences, 1t was learned they would prob
ably continue until after the holidays.
During this period, it is understood,
Secretary of the Interior Lane, chair.
man of the American section Of the
commission, will lay before President
Wilson the objections made by First
Chief Carranza to the tentative agree
ment signed at Atlantic City. These
objections, 1t was stated unofficially,
are to the following provisions Of the
protocol and the American sections
understanding of it:
First-The indefinite character OF
the troop withdrawal clause.
Second-American insistence on the
right of troops to cross into Mexican
territory in pursuit of bandits when
the trail is "hot."
Third-The alleged efforts of the
administration to take hand in Mex
ican internal affairs.
On the attitude taken toward these
points by President Wilson depends
the future life of the commission and
the success or failure of its efforts to
reach a basis of understanding for fu
ture relations between this and the
de facto government of Mexico. 1t was
pointed out by those in touch with
both sections of the commission thai
the Carranza government would have
nothing to gain and everything to lose
by terminating the sessions. The
Pershing column would then be in
Mexico, 1t was pointed out, with nc
provision for its withdrawal, and the
American border patrol would be main
tanned at full strength to guard the
boundary and back up Gen. Pershing
There has been suggestion, how
ever. that Carranza is not at all de
sirous of having the Pershing column
withdrawn. as it forms bulwark be
tween Villa and the western portion
of Northern Mexico.
Meanwhile the figure of Villa con
tinues to grow ominously bigger on
the Mexican horizon. It was frankly
admitted by those closely connected
with the commission that the so-called
bandit cannot be overlooked as bis
factor in Mexico much longer.
His military force is superior ir
training and effectiveness to the Con
stitutionalists, 1t was said, his troops
are paid in silver and he has ammu
milton to burn. The statement was
made also that he is actually turning
away ex-Carranzistas who seek to en-
list.

PROF. GAY ADVOCATES CHANGE
IN METHOD OF ISSUING BONDS
FOR ROAD BUILDING.
EASY METHOD OF PAYMENT
Payment BY People Would Be Made
Easier-Big Saving In Interest
Charges On Bonds and obvi-
ates Loss Of Sinking Fund.

Jackson.
People who get the benefit of pub
lie improvement should be the ones to
pay for 1t. This is the principle on
which the argument for bond issues
for road building is based. 1t is bet
ter from this standpoint to distribute
the cost of construction over number
of years rather than to pay the full
cost from funds collected at the out.
set
By using new method of retiring
these bonds, as recently explained by
R.. w. Gay of the Mississippi A. and
M. College, this plan has still greater
advantages. Prof. Gay writes as fol-
lows:
by means OF bond issue the full
amount, of the fund is available at
once and the cost is spread over a se-
ries of years during the life OF tho
road. The common practice has been
to make all the bonds come due at the
same time. thus necessitating the es-
tablishment of a sinking fund which
will pay off the debt at the end of the
term of years for which the bonds
are issued. While this plan is good
In theory the practice has been rather
disappointing. Wrong investment OF
the sinking fund whereby proper inter-
est is not secured and changes in gov
ernment whereby one administration
sppropriates for one use the sinking
funds provided for another has in nu-
merous cases been the cause of embar-
rassment.
ITO meet the objections to this form
of bond issue serial bonds may be is
sued, by which a certain amount will
come due each year until the debt Is
paid. In this way the money raised
each year can be expended at once,
and no sinking fund will be provided
to be the plaything of an inefficient
administration. Interest charges would
cease as fast as the bonds are retired,
thus the total interest paid would be
much less than If the bonGs had all
run the full time. The objection that
the payments for the first few years
would be heavier than for the later
dates can be removed by issuing a
small number of first year bonds ana
increasing the number each year in
proportion to the decreasing amount
