MEXICO HINTS
DIRECT TAX
BELOW TIE
| L|NE
Wants To See Lands Devel-
Oped and Hence Does Not
Approve Raise in Water
Rates; Mutual Advisory
Boards Outline Plan.

Private information from Mex
leo City is to the effect that the
Mexican government is adverse to
any increase in water prices be-
low the line, but is anxious to see
tax on Mexican lands, which will
stimulate development.
The Mexican government, it is said,
does not care to see the price of wa
ter go higher because that would
merely mean that the lessee would
have to pay it, but would like to see a
tax on land, both irrigated and nom
irrigated, which would force the devel-
opment of land in that section.
In that connection it is interesting :
to note the following resolution passed
at recent meeting Of the mutual ad-
visory board:
Whereas, rate of taxation and of
water distribution has been establish
ed by the Imperial Irrigation District
on the American side of the line equiv
alent to $1.66 per acre foot of water
delivered, this rate being based on the
advance budget Of operation and ex-
pense for water delivery and for flood
protection during the 1921 period; and
VHSISdo, IilC I0lC ISSCiNSu iOI wa
ter on the Mexican side of the line is
now 81 cents per acre foot; and
Whereas, these water rates have
been established voluntarily by the IT.
rigation District without joint eonsid-
Grafton with the owner of Mexican
lands on the nature of the work to be
done and the expense to be created;
and
Whereas, it is recognized by this
preventative body of water users
that the results obtained in the above
condition set forth are unfair to the
users of water on both sides of the
line and that it will be of mutual ben
eff. to both to remedy the same; and
therefore be it
Resolved, that this organization,
representing authoritatively the ma
jority of water companies and water
users on the American side of the
line within the Imperial Irrigation
District, request the Colorado River
Land company to make the following
readjustments:
/. That a joint consideration of the
budget of work and expense between
the Imperial Irrigation District and
the Colorado River Land companies De
made to the end that the same can be
nodded to meet the approval of both
parties.
2. That when an agreement on the
advance budget has been reached that
the rate Of water delivered in Mexico
shall be increased to conform to the
rate of direct water charge and 1rri-
cation District taxation on the Ameri-
can side of the line.
8. That until such time as some per-
manent adjustment may be jointly ar
rived at the rate on each side of the
line shall be adjusted from year to
year based on the advance budget of
expense jointly arrived at as covered
in paragraph thereof.

First Carload
OF Lettuce Out
Especial to The Press)

CALEXICO, Nov. 29-Sidney Nc
Harg, local lettuce grower, shipped the
first car of lettuce yesterday to the

warm nights a week ago had a bad
effect on the lettuce and was forcing

says, have removed all danger of this
and the crop is in fine condition.
Announcement several days ago
that McHarg would begin shipping
his lettuce in short time brought
forth many inquiries from various
quarters, one of which was from a
produce trade journal in New York,
all of which expressed surprise that
he would start SO early and saying
that he would beat the world with
his crop.

(By Associated Press)

GENEVA, Nov. 29.-The cOun-
ell of the league of nations today
approved the final draft of a pro-
ject for permanent mandates
commission, definitely accepting
the tentative proposal to have the
commission comprise five non
mandatory and four mandatory
, powers.
The committee on the admission Of
new members finally agreed it Is i'm
possible to admit now new states
carved out of old Russian territory.
The theory Of the committee is these
states viii eventually form part of a
new Russian confederation, entirely
changing the present status. The
committee will recommend, however,
while these states are not entitled to
full membership their delegates shall
be allowed to sit in the assembly in a
consulting capacity without the right
| to vote
1t was decided that all members will
be chosen by the council. The perma-
nent commission will probably meet
tonce a year at Geneva and review the
administration of the mandate holding
the countries. Detailed rules for the
commission were also ratified.
The council did not consider pro-
posed invitation to the United States
to discuss disarmament.
The election of a successor to Sr
Reginald Tower as high commissioner
to Danzig was another important mat
ter before the council of the league to-
Gay.
The question of admitting Austria
and Bulgaria to the league will be
taken up during the week. There is
virtually no opposition to Austria,
and while there is violent opposition
to Bulgaria by some nations, it is fore
cast they both will be admitted.
The council discussed today the de-
tachment of troops member nations
will send into Lithuania and is expect
ed to consider the guarantees to be ex-
tended religious minorities in Jugo-
Slavia and Czecho- -Slovakia.
The decision of France and England
regarding Greece and the near east
is giving much concern. The dele
gates are discussing the probability of
Greece losing her place in the league
council if Constantine is enthroned.
Many delegates believe the first re-
ply of President Wilson to the coun-
cil's note relative to Armenia will be
perfunctory, neither committing the
United States nor rejecting the offer.
A reply is expected within few days.
