Country Bankrupt and Soldiers and
Bandits Live by Loot.

In the general social decline now in
progress, Mexico leads almost all COM
retitors by a few months at least,
says the Sun. Carranza, remaining at
the head of a government that offers
no further temptations to his COM
patriots, sits on an empty treasury
and lacks the credit to borrow any
sum on any terms. He has long ago
cOnfiscated private boards in banks
and strong boxes; that last reservoir
of means has gone dry. To make the
financial situation worse, if we can
speak of finance where money reserve
is not and the bankers have ceased
business, the silver peso, the standard
coin of the country has been melted
up and shipped out, because of an
increased value due to the enhance
ment in the price of silver metal.
AS for security of the population,
the army, it is reported, supports itself
by looting. Some 10000 or more sold
iers and their officers are unpaid and
have no prospect of pay so they gain
their living by foraging industriously
among the civil population. This
leaves them little time to guard the
country. Consequently bandits
abound, and beat the soldiers at their
own game of looting. So much plum
dering puts a stop to the production
and marketing of goods. Failure of
last years Indian corn crop has ag-
gravated the trouble
In some respects Mexico has kept
several laps ahead of Russia. Ker-
ensky was Russia's Madero, leapine
into the vacant seat Of power on the
strength of high idealisms, only to be
dashed thence as suddenly as he came

fers it's plunderers a rich field and
may for months. The tragic sign In
Mexico was the dropping of Villa: q
sign of the exhaustion of the rich loot
on which his rowing desperadoes lived
Now looting has become the necessity
and indeed the chief but lean pursuit
Of the Mexican authorities.

PRODUCTION OF SALT
NO DANGER OF SHORTAGE
INTERESTING FIGURES REGARD
ING COMMON AND NEcEs.
SARY COMMODITY.

The rumor that there is a general
shortage OF salt in the United States
has no foundation, as is shown by the
following statement made by the
United States geological survey, de-
partment of the interior. Estimates
of the production in 1917, compiled by
r. w. Stone show total of more than
6,946,000 short tons, an increase of
$4,000 tons, or 8 per cent, over the
production in 1916 AS the largest
domestic consumption on record, that
of 1916, was less than 100000 tons,
and as the imports in 1916 We're less
ton, it is evident that the country is
in no way dependent on foreign
supply for its salt, for the domestic
production is ample. Any local or
shortage that may have oc-
CURED in the last few weeks of 1917
was due mainly to congestion of
freight
Production in 1917.
The increase in production was in
duced by higher prices and brisk de-
mand and was made in spite of I'M
favorable conditions at some plants.
Shortage of labor, difficulty in OBJ
tanning fuel and an inadequate sup
ply of freight cars are given as rea-
sons why some plants did not make
an even larger increase.
Estimates of the production of salt
in 1917 by states, in short tons, are as
follows.
