Advices received from Cananea
yesterday evening were to the effect
that the day had passed quietly. and
anticipated trouble between municipal
authorities and Chinese residents had
not taken place. The attitude of the
state and federal governments and
counsels Of moderates who favor pro-
ceeding according to diplomatic usage
appear to have prevailed over thede-
sires Of radicals who desire expulsion
of Chinese forthwith.
The proposition laid before the fed
eral senate by Senator Laveaga to
notify the Chinese government Of the
desire of Mexico to abrogate the
treaty between the two countries,
then frame new treaty which will
permit federal legislation regulating
or prohibiting further Chinese i'm
migration, seems to be receiving more
general approval, as it becomes more
widely understood that such. is the
only wise course TO follow.
From Aqua Prieta, where a similar
situation was reported as at Cananea,
like report of quiet and no difficulty
was reported.

REX BEACH ON
CONDITIONS IN
MEXICO AND THE
POSS|BILI TIES

After recently making an exhaus-
tive tour of Northern Mexico Rex
Beach writes a spellbinding descrip-
tion of that romantic country in the
current November and December is
sues of the Cosmopolitan Magazine
and on page 156 of the latter issue
he closes his article with the follow
ing peroration:
GAS l write this, resentment at
fresh outrages in the Tampico and
other districts, renewed mutterings
about Intervention. l Cannot Believe,
In View Of Our Past Policy, That
The United States Will Intervenue-
not, at least, with armed troops. I
may be wrong-frequently am
even before this sees print something
may happen to draw our military
forces across the border. But it is
unlikely. 1t is doubtful, moreover, if
that is the best way to pacify Mex
leo. Bullets would do it, but dollars
would do it equally well, perhaps bet
ter. Mexico needs money. She is
financially discredited; her obliga-
tions are unpaid; her industries are
starving; she is bled white. She needs
new blood, new life. l believe half
dozen of our strong bankers could re-
store law and order below the Rio
Grande more quickly and more last
ingly than an equal number of veteran
overseas divisions. Given money to
work with and given honest, wise
men to handle the spending of that
money, she can pacify her own re-
bellious elements, subdue her outlaws,
and Indians, and enjoy general
house-cleaning. Whether she would
tolerate American supervision of that
sort, whether she would permit out
siders to step in and apply honest eff
ficiency methods in her departments
is another matter. After talking with
thoughtful students of the subject, |
learn that there are some who be-
lieve that she woodland if matter
don't mend, she may have no choice.
The idea is worth thinking about.
"When she Does find herself, when
she becomes once more safe and
agreeable place in which to live and
do business, she will witness boom
like those of our early western days,
only magnified hundredfold. She
will once more become land of pro-
mise and of plenty, for she is blessed
with unrivaled riches and opportuni-
ties ample for her own and other peo-
pies. God speed the day, for the
world is waiting"

All Russian army has been driven
from Irkustk, in Siberia, and is now

THE REVENUE
LEGISLATION
ADOPTED 1918
HELPS N 0 W

WASHINGTON, January l. AL
though Congress has shown a disin-
,clination to take up revenue legisla-
tion in the near future, as urged by
President Wilson, there will soon be
reduction, nevertheless, in the
amount of Federal taxes paid by the
person Of average income. With the
arrival of the year 1920 lower
schedules will become effective be-
cause of specific proviso in the cur
rent law-passed by the last Demo-
cratic Congress that the heavy wal
taxes of 1919, insofar as they relate
to the man of moderate income, shall
not be applied in 1920. In con-
sequence, the income tax bill of prob
ably seventy-five percent of Federal
tax payers will be, materially out
next year.
When the present revenue law was
before the Senate Finance committee
after passage by the House, it be-
came apparent the war was nearing
it's end and the armistice was signed
before final action on the bill. The
Senate committee at that time was
in control of the Democrats. 1t was
proposed by Republican members OF
the committe that the same schedule
of rates be made to apply in 1920
as in 1919. The Republicans said ad-
justments for the year 1920 might
be made later.
Democratic members of the COM
mittee finally united and forced
through a proviso that lower taxes
should go into effect at the beginning
of 1920. They insisted that Con-
gress should settle the question fol
at least two years and give the tax
payer the benefit of the end of the
war and a partial lifting of the bur-
dens of taxation.
If this action had not been taker
the higher rates of the period i'm
mediately following the war would
have extended into 1920 and cost the
tax payers of the United States ap-
proximately two billion dollars adj
ditional. The Senate voted for a
grading down of the war schedules
and the House accepted the proviso
The notifications 20 for 1920 are
mainly of assistance to the man with
the modest income. These modifica-
tions reduce by one-third the normal
tax on incomes, but leave the SUI
taxes, which apply to the wealthy the
same as heretofore. Even without
further legislation, therefore, the
average tax payer will have sub
stantial reduction in his tax bill
The tax to be collected on the first
$4,000 above the exemption will here
after be only four per cent, instead
of six percent. 1t is estimated that

Mr.. ]. A. Pacaud, who was riding m
the back seat, was killed instantly;
