President Carranza has ordered
Postmaster General Cosme Hino-
josa to suspend the censorship on
American newspapers Immediately.
The censorship was established a few
days ago by direct order of the
President, who, claimed that several
American periodicals attacked the
Mexican government unjustly and
gave incurrate reports as to the size
of the Villa movement, some papers
saying that Villa had more then
$4,000 men at his command. In
abolshing the censorship President
Carranza said that it's establishment
has been unwise and imprudent; as
by establishing the free press is the
only way government can know
who is who and why.
Mr.. Alberto Mascarenas, has open
ed brokerage business in the Obre-
gon building at Nogales, Sonora.
A commission has been sent to the
United States by the Mexican gov
ernment in order to observe and re-

tional Agricultural Commission and
Director of the National Engineering
School, will be in charge of the in
vestigation. While in this country, he
will also study farming methods,
with a view to proposing agricultural
reforms in Mexico.
Carloads of machinery, explosives
and other mining material are ar
irving daily from the United States
at mining centers of the state of
Guanajuato. Assistance and protec-
tion is offered by the Mexican Gov
eminent to all the mining concerns of
that rich state, and altogether a
great impulse ir being given to the
industry which promises to restore
Guanajuato to its former position az
a very important mining center.

Investigations
EXTENSIVE LOCAL MARKETS CLOSE

In addition to the news of i'm
portant oil developments in the
State of Sonora, exclusively told in
THE OASIS few days ago, today
we announce another "'scoop" on mat
ters along the same lines still nearer
home.
From reliable sources THE OASIS
is informed that Mr.. E. E. Bethel,
Mr.. Capehart both of Patagonia,
have been quietly and thoroughly in
vestigating the sedimentary-car-
boniferous measures and possible oil
structures Immediately tributary to
the northeast corner of our own
Santa Cruz County; and it is re-
ported that their scouts, encouraged
by unequivocal mention of carbon
,iferous formation in that section
made in Bulletin 582 (page 360)
of the official United States
Geological Survey, have securely ac-
quired under the laws of the United
States, over 10000 acres of oil
claims watch may prove to be as
valuable for oil as those lands in
Texas and Wyoming so long despised
and scoffed at, bUt now rapidly
changing hands at fabulous prices,
and producing over $9,OOO,OOO in
"liquid gold" each month.
| AS indicated above the ground un-
der investigation is adjacent to No.
gales, Santa Cruz County; but most
ly in Pima and Cochise Counties
practically midway between Tucson
and Bisbee). The area embraced can
be served by both the Southern
Pacific and El Paso & Southwestern
Railways.
| The mammoth mines nearby, at
Bisbee, as we'll as those in Pima and
Pinal Counties-such as the Phelps
Dodge Copper Queen, Cornelia Con-
solidated at Ajo, and Ray Con-
solidated at Ray, with other big
producers at Globe, Miami and Cliff
ton, are all big consumers of oil, and
their importations run up in many
thousands of barrels monthly, while
the Southern Pacific and Ell Paso &
Southwestern Railways are large
consumers, making great home
market for the oil that may be
developed that is not to be discounted.
The management of his laudatory
enterprise is in good hands Mr.. E.
E. Bethel is part owner in and
manager of a large general mer-
chandising store in the famous and
prosperous mining town of Pata-
gonia; and Mr.. Capehart is establish
ed at that place also as the local
banker. Mr.. Capehart came from
Texas originally-many years ago
from those very barren ranches that
are producing now millions in oil.
To mention oil in that part of Texas
in those days was considered the
last word in rainbow hopes" Mr.
Capehart thinks he sees some points
of resemblance between those doubt
ing Thomas" days and the present
era in Southern Arizona.
Associated in this enterprise with
Messrs. Bethel and Capehart are the
very elite of conservative business
men of Nogales. These sponsors are
going about examination and pre-

Six months ago Mr.. Joaquin Tor
res, en- route from Nogales to Tucson,
left his overcoat in the train when he
arrived at his destination, forgetting
all about it. Some days later he re-
ported the matter to the railway
company. The coat had bten cared
for by an employe, but sent to head
quarters. In some way it was lost
to sight for a time; but in the end
the garment was restored to him last
week by Mr.. T. G. Wright, agent for

THE BUSINESS DOCTOR

BY HAROLD WHITEHEAD

Solver Of Business Problems

The whole question OF credit policy
was brought before the general man e
ager. both credit and sales managers
making charges and counter charges
against each other.
The general manager heard both men.
then spoke as follows;
"You are both to blame and I am
as well. The sales manager has re-
sponsibility for sales. but none on
credits. The credit manager is respon
sible for bad debts. but not for sales.
We must divide the responsibility.
''How?" both questioned.
1--WE must readiust the salesmen' s
pay. They must have less fixed salary
and larger commissions. The commits
sion will be paid quarterly as now,
but from commissions must be deduct
ed percentage of the losses incurred
from their trade This will make all the
statesmen assistants to the credit man

manager was about to protest. ''This

diction over the men than at present.
''Now for the credit department. We
will work out ratio of orders to ac-
ceptance and of losses to both. As the
number of accepted orders increases
above the present figure, we will allow
larger percentage for bad debts on
the increase. This will enable the credit
department to put more faith in human
nature.
Both you men shall share equally
in a special bonus on increased sales.
Both of you men will be penalizad from
the bonus for any percentage of loss
above our normal figure.
There is one thing I feel that the
credit manager is to blame for. He has
been so anxious to prevent loss that he
has lost sight of the fact that we live
on the profits we make and not on the
losses we save.
Remember. he concluded. turning

CUSTOMERS ARE OPPORTUNI-
TIES. NOT RISKS

THE credit man and the sales man
l. ager did not get along very well
together. The credit manager felt that
the sales manager was always accept
/ ing risky business. The sales manager
was quite sure that the credit manager
killed n lot of desirable business
Now. of course, concern covering
the country as this one did (the con-
cern made toilet articles) did an enor
nous business with small retailers.
Frequently the financial information
available about new customers was
vague. The statesmen who took the or
der generally gave glowing accounts of
the customers standing, and the op
portunity it offered for future business
The sales manager felt his salesmen
should be backed up and that their re
port should be considered. The credit
manager pooh -poohed the idea. saying
that the statesmen would be sure to say
the customer was q. *. 1t meant SO
much more business toward their sales
quota and so much more commission to
them.
AS the credit manager had the final
say on the acceptance of orders. there
was quickly created a sort of armed
neutrality between the statesmen and
the credit department. The statesmen
wrote pathetically or wrathfully, ac-
cording to their temperament, to the
sales manager about the "injusticen of
the credit department. so that between
the credit manager and the statesmen
the sales managers life was made per
fectly miserable.
The following incident brought mat
ters to a head and caused an open
breach between the two managers:
good customer located in North
Dakota had usually discounted his bills
in ten days For some reason his ac-
count had remained unpaid for sixty
days.
The salesman sent in the usual order.
but made no comment about the unpaid
bill. When the order came to the credit
department, it was promptly turned
down and sharp letter was sent to the
customer requesting immediate payment
of the account.
~ S'i'' ''hhhGNI was luTlouS Ut
such high handed treatment of good
customer, which the credit manager now
classed as risk. The situation was
aggravated when a letter came from the
manager Of the customers store in
closing his personal check for the over
due account and a note requesting that
their order be cancelled. y
The sales manager could not under
stand this at all, and wrote the safes
man who took the order for an explana
ton. Back came letter saying that
the owner of the store had been hurt in
an accident and was confined to a
hospital, but expected to be well again
in week or so. In the meantime, the
manager was looking after things. but
the proprietor told him TO leave every
thing appcrtaining to payments until
his return.
The credit managers attitude of
looking at customers as risks had cost
the house good customer. OF course,
the salesman should have explained the
circumstances when he sent in the or
der. But two wrongs never make a
