Encouragement of Industry.

Another form of concession" was
duplication of the plan followed in
hundreds of American towns to secure
some industrial enterprises, with its
consequent increase in trade and en-
ployment. The local authorities and
citizens of Mexican town would pro-
vide site, and the Federal govern
ment would permit the introduction
of the necessary machinery, in one
shipment, free of duty, and exempt
the enterprise from certain Federal
dues for term of five or ten years.
The enterprises so favored were re-
quired to invest minimum of one
hundred thousand dollars and to en-
ploy a minimum of twenty men. No
monopoly was granted and the enter
prise had to stand or fall on its
merits. The numerous factories estab-
lished in Mexico and the thousands
of Mexicans employed under this plan
was ample justification for it.

efficiency and thoroughness of the so
cialist propaganda in the United
States.
If you are a socialist you will under
stand perfectly the origin of the fore
going ideas about Mexico, and any
attempt to disprove them will be futile.
II you are not a socialist you may be
surprised to learn that practically ali
of the writer's upon whom you have
depended for information about
Mexico are either socialists or SYM
pathizers with them.
What Concession Really Is.
4 A concession" in Mexico means a
franchise" or a contract" Any
contract with the public authorities is
a concession" thus, the erection of
power plants, the building of railroads,
etc. The most extensive franchises
or concessions" in Mexico were those
of the railroads. When Porfirio Diaz
began to rule there were fewer than
three hundred miles of railway in the
country. (There are now some fifteen
thousand miles of wreckage.) Rail
roads were vitality necessary to the
country's commerce and prosperity, but
nobody had any confidence in Mexico
and no one cared to venture money on
an enterprise of so little promise.

{ Mines, Oil and Land.

Mexican mining concessions" are
nothing more nor less than mining
claims" and identical with such
affairs in the United States, whose
mining laws are patterned after the
Mexican.
Oil concessions" are identical with
oil contracts" in the United States,
where contracts are made to sink
wells by paying certain per cent of
the product as rental or royalty to the
owners of the property.
The land concessions in Mexico
were contracts whereby the prospec-
tive purchasers agreed to take SO
much land and pay the government
price for it.

POTATOES AND ONION
 SETS GO SKY HIGH

Record high prices for irish pota- toes and onion sets have seemed to increase rather than reduce the de- mand for these articles for planting purposes, according to local dealers. Irish potatoes today were quoted at $3.60 per bushel wholesale, and onion sets went to $5 bushel. They have been selling at retail here at slightly lower prices, but predictions of still higher figures are made. Merchants, however, are selling potatoes and onion sets, as well as other seed for food crops, iii greater volume than ever before D. o. Harton reports the sale of over 2,000 bushels of seed oats this spring. Present indications are that the profitable farming cam paign conducted in this county in January will be even more productive of results than that of 1915, despite the high prices of all kinds of seed.
