come from business which is not
being done, and al that saves
the Carrarza strong box from
absolute emptiness is the revenue
derived from the oil wells in the
region Of Tampico That these
wells are extraordinarily pro-
ductive is a well.known fact,
and no approach to full reali-
zation Of their potentialities has
yet been made. 1t is stated by
the correspondent from whose
dispatch this information is gath
cred that with sufficient ships
and storage they could be made
to yield 200, 600, 600 barrelsa day.
This seems incredible, but al
ready the product is immense
and on every barrel exported
Carranza collects II cents, while
another tax Of unknown magni-
tude is levied by the revolution
ary general who controls the oil
producing territory.
1t is an anomaly that a coun-
try whose natural resources are
so immeasurably great should be
poverty-stricken and starving.

vate friendly relations with the
United States and to conduct
his government on the principles

capital would have been forth

before now prosperity would
have prevailed, but h e and his
revolutionary supporters, hating
this country as they DO, have
greedily listened to the lies toe

are maintaining an attitude Of
hostility toward the United
States in anticipation Of a Ger

Starvation Thi eateniug in Mexico.

With its attention diverted to
more personal an d important
matters, the public has conceiv-
ably forgotten all about Mexico,
but that unhappy country is
still on the map, and conditions
there, according to the report of
a representative of the New
York Sun, who has just return
ed from a tour of observation, so
far from having improved, are
worse than ever.
Owing to the failure of last
seasons corn crop food is so
scarce that thousands of people
are on the verge Of starvation,
and so desperate are the finan-
cial straits of the Carranza gov
ernment that wholesale confisca-
ton is being practised under the
guise of taxation. By a law
which became operative on the
first of the present year taxes in
the federal district, where most
of the corporations have their
headquarters, were increased
tenfold. A tax of II per cent.
was imposed on the capital stock
of all corporations within the
provincial jurisdiction, and also
on all invested capital, in
amounts ranging from $l00 to
$4,000. In addition to this, the
Carranza administration collects,
or tries to collect, a surtax Of so
per cent. 1t is no wonder that
business. is at a standstill and
that the merchants and compan-
les thus being robbed are up in
arms.
1t is not, however, from these
sources that the federal treasury
derives the larger part of its in
sufficient revenues. To impose
a confiscatory tax is one thing,
to collect it is quite another. 1t
