II creation Of edeCuate monetary svsto'" Tho
disouisiron recommends aeopennc nlints, providing
that producers IF gold ard silver have their metals
coined as they find they need the money In that
way ir a very short time, following natural causes,
free coinage would supply all metal money needed to
meet the needs Of trade and commerce, and provide
for redemption en- demand Of al paper money. AS
asserted by Judge Rodriguez greater fallacy ex-
lists than the idea that government should regulate
coinage Give owners Of god md silver free access
tothe MINIS with their bars, returning them coined
money and automatic self regulation OF the volume
of money would be natural consequence.
We hardly agree with one proposition OF the en-

money and money metals ahoultl~be prohibited When
the needs of traffic and commerce are met by money

other nations those three countries maintained pro

CHANGE them. Mexico has not reached that point
where she can dispense with the principle OF pro-

Other positions taken by Judge Rodriguez are
appropriate and advisable. In ali progressive ma

Agriculture and Industry the state must provlde
technical education. The state which does not ags

system of such education, continue IN the rear
Labor Legislation is another important FACTOR
that Judge Rodriguez would cali to assist IN solution
of the economic problem Of Mexico. The entire
