Travellers arriving here from Mexi-
co report that two members of Cen

recently for Tampico, possibly with the
intention of assuming command of the
Mexican forces in that. vicinity. All
the oil wells and the plant of the
Aguilar Oil company are said to be
guarded and no persons not properly
vouched for are permitted to visit the
works. The only fear held by the
owners of the oil properties is an at

unable to withstand.

for the remainder of the fscaTNyear

bond issues. In this connection, he
pointed out that, in his opinion, the
people will have to lend the govern
ment a total of $9,s69, ,433,S5o before
July !.
More than thirty-six billion dol
lars must be raised for the first two
years Of the war. Mr.. McAdoo de-
clared, and even this figure may be
increased as the exigencies of war
demand. He estimated that the
country will have to buy fifteen bill
lion dollars worth of bonds be-
tween July 1, 1918, and June 80,
1919. And only the strictest econ
omy in all walks OF life will enable
the country to do this, he declared.

Country Will Be Taxed to

Congress will wait until II sees
what effect the new taxes produce

either to frame a new revenue bill
or authorize further issues of

swer last night to the detailed re-
port presented yesterday by Secre-
tary Of the Treasury McAdoo. who
declared the government must have
S5.l2S.2O3.793 more to carry out the
already authorized program up to

Mr.. McAdoo's request for further
bond issues was met with the state
ment that the Treasury still has ap-
proximately $4.32s. 1000, 900 in unsoId
bonds and certificates to fall back
on. Their will be two or three

"one OF the most pernicious prac-
tees that ever developed in business
IN the past has been the trade, dis
count said Secretary Columbus.
More than two years ago the Re-
tail Merchants Association went on
record as unalterably opposed. TO dis
counts OF, every character, the asso-
citation believing firmly in. the doc
trine that every buyer should stand
hrmly on the same level. There is no
reason in the world why merchandise
should be sold to one class of people
at less price than another. Such
a condition in business gives the
lie to stability of prices. There Is no
reason in the world why merchandise
should be sold to the members OF a
society or any group of people low
er than another. Retail stores offer
their wares to the public and there
Is no reason why any part of the pub
lie should enjoy advantages that all
Of the people do not have.
Business Character Change.
'The Inquiries that have come to
the Retail Merchants Association re-
garding discounts are due no doubt
to the fact that in some localities
such a condition exisrs,->but modern
business has seen the light of better
days. The business conscience is
quicker and keener than ever before.
The trade discount has gone the same
path that fluctuating prices Went,
the one price standard is
supreme.
THE Oriental maxim let the buyer
beware has given way to that good
old fashioned principal of strictly
one price The strictly one price has
no place for a discount. 1t is the
case now of the greatest good for
the greatest number. and where one |
class or group enjoys an advantage
over another the ethics Of good rusl- |
ness are not observed.
There will be no discounting to |
favor special classes in the National |
