SAYS FINANCES
OF MEXICO GOOD
Report of the Secretary of the
Treasury Has Reached
1. Washington

Washington, Nov. 14.-Luis Cabre-
IA, secretary of the Mexican treasury.
discussing the economic conditions
In Mexico in his annual report to
Congress details of which have reach
ed Washington through official chan
nels. declares that there is no reason
for extraordinary optimism or for
plack pessimism. He estimates the
revenue for the year 1919 at 49,
$4,000 pesos, although President
Carranza, in his message to Congress
September 1, 1919. estimated it at
l62,000,00o basing his estimate on
the returns for the ten months from
September. 1918 to June of this year.
The revenue for 1920 is estimated at
167,O00,00 pesos.
Improvement Shown
In submitting this report to the
House of Deputies. Secretary Ca
brera says that while the diff
cufties experienced by the Federal
Treasury, due to causes we'll known
to ALL are far from having disap-
peared, unmistakable signs of inn
provement have been noted in many
aspects of the economic condition OF
the nation and hence in the finan-
cial situation of the Federal govern
ment." He admits that Mexico was
formerly and still is dependent upon
foreign capital, in discussing condi-
tions in all the so-called young ma
tiops" of the world which. he says,
have experienced 'the suspension OF
the influx of capital from countries
economically stronger" and are .ex-
erting vigorous efforts to be self
supporting"
Effects of both of these influences
have been felt in Mexico, he says.
and will continue to be felt, in part
at least, during 1920. The report
confesses that "our economic life
was based formerly on continu-
Gus stream of capital from abroad.
this resource not being open to us
at present except in a very limited
way"
Imports Increase
Secretary Cabrera says the imports
for the first four months of the
year amounted to $4,000. 900 pesos,
as against 54.000.000 in the correy-
ports show a decrease from 122,-
100000 pesos for the first four
months of 1918 to 10s, 100000 for
the corresponding period this year.
Mexican experts point out that this
means that the balance of trade was
so favorable to Mexico because of
the crying need of the world for raw
products which to n large extent
still exists through the reconstruction
day following the war. but Mexico
is unable to take advantage Of these
conditions because OF the serious
situation within her borders.

control measures should aim at COM
piete eradication, says the bulletin. If
ohIy a few plants survive, they will
usually cause serious reinfestation in
a comparatively short time. To secure
thorough eradication the underground
parts must be completely killed, since
1t is principally by these that the pest
lives over from year to- year. The most
practical method of extermlnating the
underground parts is to starve them
out by frequently destroying all the
top growth of the plants. Since plants
can assimilate food only by the aid of
the green leaves the frequent cutting
OF the tops uses up food stored in the
tieshy roots. The weed is much cas-
Ter to eradicate during droughts than
during wet weather, and operations Of
hoeing blowing, narrowing and cult
waiting directed against the thistle
should never be undertaken when the
land is wet
Eradication on Small Areas.
The Importance Of graduating the
Canada thistle on small areas can
hardly he overestimated, says the bull
letin. since the pest spreads rapidly
and a small patch may be the direct
cause Of infesting an entire farm al
most before the farmer Is aware of
the presence of the weed. The most
common and practical method on small
areas is the frequent cutting of the
green growth preferably below the sur
face of the soil. Perseverance is need
ed ia assure success.
Eradication of Large Areas.
Two principal plans of eradication
are applicable on large areas-clean
cultivation with a crop, and summer
following followed by a cultivated
crop. The first method has the advan.
tage of killing the weeds without los
ing the use of the land while so doing.
Summer following followed by cult
waited crop keeps in check the top
growth and starves the root system,
thereby graduating the weed

Daylight Saving Law Goes Into Eff

Time to Push Hand Ahead

In accordance with the daylight
savings law, tomorrow at 2 a. m. is
the time set for pushing the hands
of the timepiece ahead one hour all
over the United States, this simple
expedient thus inaugurating the sec
ond year of daylight saving through
out this country, despite the strong
efforts that have been made to repeal
the law.
While 2 o'clock in the morning is
the designated hour, there is no nee
essity that literal Interpretation of
the edict should be carried out. The
easiest way, and one that will be just
as satisfactory and accomplish the de-
sired object, is to set the watch or
clock ahead upon going to bed to-
night, with the knowledge that the
timepiece will be running on correct
time when one awakes.

Referendum Amendment Is
Rejected by a Vote
of 16 to IA
AFTER SHARP DEBATE
On Final Passage Vote Was Is
to IS With Favorable Vote Cast
by Lieutenant Governor

:. .-..MQNTPELIER, March 29-Pro-
badly the stiffest fight seen in the
legislature in many sessions ended at
1890 o'clock yesterday morning,
when the Senate passed in concur
renee III. 297, the State barge termi-
nal measure, by vote of Is to Is,
the deciding vote being cast by
Lieut.-Gov. Mason S. Stone, presi
dent of the Senate. The measure
was shorn of the referendum amend
ment attached to it, and after some
energetic debate and another attempt
at amendment, the bill went on its
passage. 1t now goes to the Cover
nor for his signature, together with
H. 1919 the Companion bill, authoriz-
ing the city of Burlington to issue
bonds to the extent of $4,000 to aid
in the construction of the terminal.
Reconsideration yesterday morning
of the vote whereby the referendum
was attached to the bill came as
something of a surprise to those not
familiar with the inner workings of
the senatorial mind. Senator Hall,
who voted for the referendum moved
for reconsideration and on yea
and nay vote the Senate reconsider
ed, II to 13. The question then was
whether the Senate would propose to
the House to amend the bill with the
referendum. After strenuous debate
in which Senator Schof, Payne and
Carr defended the referendum and
Senator Villas Opposed it, the amend
ment was rejected by vote of 10
to IA, the same vote by which it was
adopted.
Senator Kingsley moved to amend
by limiting the expenditure of the
appropriation to 100000 up to Fea.
1, 1921. This amendment was alsc
defeated, Is to IA, the vote being at
first a tie and Senator Hall chang
ing his vote.
The bill then went on it's passage
and at 1890, with the vote standing

terminal bill was through the legisla-

The first surprise of the morning
was the rejection of the "apple-

reading by. a good majority. Yester-
day morning it was opposed by Sena-
tors Hall, Steele, Hill and Carr, ana
passage was refused by vote of 20
