OIL PRODUCERS
TAKE ISSUE WITH
MEXICAN OFFICIAL

WASHINGTON, D. Gin formal
representations filed with the state
department, the Association of Pro-
ducers of Petroleum takes issue with
recent declarations made in Mexico
City by Leon Salinas, acting head
of the Mexican department of in
dustry and commerce and chief OF
the oil bureau of that department,
justifying the Carranza govern
ment's attitude on the confscation
question. Besides refuting state
ments made by Salinas, the petrole-
UNI producers again charge that the
acts Of the Carranza government
against which they complain are in
violation of the laws of Mexico
itself and in contravention of the
accepted laws of nations
1T is admitted" says the state
ment, that the question of propri-
etorship of coal lands in Mexico and
the Spanish colonies was the subject
of contention; but nowhere in the
Spanish grants or subsequent ordin-
ances Of the Spanish crown was pc
troleum treated as the kings patri-
mony or the property of the nation.
If any contention did exist, it was
set at rest in Mexico by the mining
law of 1884.
Before this date, neither coal
nor petroleum had been developed
in Mexico at all; the law of 1884
simply cleared up a matter in ques-
ton. From that time. therefore.
rights to coal and oil were acquired
under this law and the laws to the
same effect of 1892 and 1910. By
the expenditure of vast amounts of
money. American individuals and
companies have given value to
these lands, relying upon the laws
of Mexico. Their tenure was never
questioned; in fact, it was repeat
eddy ratified by acts of Mexican
courts, and the Mexican government
has since 1912 continuously recog-
nized rights so acquired under Mex
/ lean law by collecting taxes upon
the lands and upon the product.
The Mexican government con-
tention that a mere change in con-
stitutional precept (appearing in r
constitution which itself prohibits
any retroactive legislation, which
precept against retroactive effect
was called to the attention of the
ambassador of the United States,
with an assurance that no law or
constitutional provision would take
effect retroactively in advance OF
the presentation Of his credentials
in February, 1910 may operate to
divest foreigners of rights legally
acquired, has been we'll answered by
protests of your department Ir
harmony with such protests, the
members of this association have
taken united stand and refused

cies of Mexican government DEGREES

the effect of which would be to &C

der the American protests nugatory.
because we have refused to adj
nit the loss of our properties, the
Mexican government has seen fit to
refuse US permission to drill on our
lands until we perform such acts Of
acquiescence. The government has
gone to the extent of sending armed
forces to stop the drilling of well
on a property of member of this
association, which member had, in

So far the money turned in is but

manager, says that the teams of women
who have been working for the budget
have done wonderfully well, considering
that they are all women who are en-
ployed during the day and have had
only their lunch hours and a very little
other spare time to give to the work.

holders Forbidden Under
Penalty Of Fine

The subcommittee on charter and the
subcommittee on publicity Of the Phila-
delphia charter committee will hold
meetings today.
II Is expected that the preparation of
the new charter bill will be completed
by next week and n meeting Of the gen.
eral committee held then to discuss It.
The bill. which is to be introduced by
Senator woodward, Is not expected to
make its appearance in Harrisburg be-
fore February "a.
Fines and Imprisonment for municipal
otficeholders participating In politics Will
be provided for in the new charter Dill,
which Is now in the course of prepara-
ton by the Philadelphia charter COM
mittee.
Although the measure has not yet
been submitted to the general committee
for approval, II became known that the
proposed bill to prohibit political ac-
tivity by police. firemen and other mu-
nicipal employees will not be introduced
in the Legislature as an amendment TO
the Shern act nor as special bill.
Can Hold Up Offenders Salaries
According to present plans of the
charter revisionists, prohibition of polit-
ical activity Of municipal jobholders or
all classes and grades is to be contained
in the new charter. The measure Will
permit any taxpayer to institute legal
proceedings to prevent the payment or
salaries or wages to municipal employees
who have violated its provisions.
A single-chambered Council OF twen-
ty-one members and the measure pro-
hibiting the activity of municipal EN-
ployes In politics will be the main re-
forms embodied in the new charter.
There will likely be change in the
system of city financing with power
probably given to the city officials to
make long-term contracts, and Councils
will undoubtedly have greater powers
than the present two-chambered body.
The main idea of the Bullitt charter,
however, Is to be retained-that OF cen
.tralizlng the power Of the city govern
ment in the Mayor.
Differs Radically From Old
The charter revisionists plan to in
troduce in the Legislature one bill,
which they propose as new charter
for Philadelphia. In perhaps half
dozen respects will there be radical
departures from the present charter
Members of the charter committee have
every confidence that the measure viii
