MExIcANS APPLAUD WILSON
Leader In Chamber Says Republic
Should Oppose eermany-oaI.
Ieries Approve.

Mexico City, Oct. 22.-Gen. Garcia
Vigil. leader of the liberal constitu-
tional party, In speech In the cham
ber of deputies yesterday declared 1t
was the duty of Mexico to take sides
against Germany. The speech was ap-
plauded by the great majority Of the
members and the galleries.
The general said he thought that
Mexico and the present government
had not shown a proper spirit of graf
itude to President Wilson and the
United States. President Wilson had
condemned the crimes of President
Huerta and had not recognized him.
but Mexicans appear to have forgot
ten this attitude OF the American pres
ident. There were some protests from
various parts Of the chamber.
General Vigil declared he could not
explain how Mexico. country with
democratic ideals, could stand impas-
sive before the crimes committed
against Belgium. He asked II II were
possible that Mexicans had forgotten
their Latin ideals or whether they do
not care about the fate of France. The
speaker was interrupted several times
by applause.
"Why vacillate?" he asked. as II
because the government has not gained
information Of the true course Of pub
lie Opinionf No. II Is because the
lower instincts Of our people have been
stimulated by those who. enthusiastic
over the ferocities Of Huerta. are now
enthusiastic over the German govern
ment, which has trampled upon all the
sacred rights Of nations and shown no
respect for treaties"

In the case Of another food commod.
ity-eggs-the price has been held at
an extortionate figure by ring Of spec.
ulators. who started early in the year
to put the articles in cold storage and
prevented them from coming to mar.
ket Although attention was called to
this circumstance months ago no &C
tion was taken to Illustrate it, and now
the spectators are even attempting to
get the aid OF the Government to up
hold them in their extortion and save
them from the losses they must sus
tain unless they obtain outside aid
They point to the fact that they paid
the farmers high prices for the eggs
but fail to state that these prices were
the result Of their own efforts to cor
ner the market.
This brings up the question as ~
what kind of things the Government
should attempt to l. prices for while
the war continues. The Chamber o.
Commerce of the United States is nov
trying to get the opinions Of busines:
men connected with Boards Of Trade
and other commercial bodies all ovei
the country. There are those who wisi
fixed prices on not only foodstuffs, bu
also raw materials OF different indus
tries, just as has been done in the cas'
OF iron and steel. They say this will
tend to stabilize the industries and en-
able manufacturers and others to maxi
their commitments with some sense o
security.

 Grover c. Frame has an electric light plant which irradiates the An. chorage red light district He does not want to pay the annual tax of $500 imposed on electric companies by the federal law. The officials can not agree with Grover that he ought to be exempt because he is supplying light only to select and limited class of consumers.
 The town of Anchorage has a city electric plant owned and run by the federal government like all other u.ili. ties in that town.
