 During the period of the next few months, some steps are to be taken to regulate the export of gold in an or derly fashion by an exchange of credits.
 The embargo opponents assert there is no cause for apprehension as there is $2,000, 100000 worth of gold in the control of the Federal Reserve Sy- stem, the greatest supply 4of. gold ever held in any, nation in, all history.

WDlaD.AJIE EMBARKED.
 ON GOLD SHIPMENTS!

With the gplds stores of the nation slowly but steadily ebbing, aid indi- cations multiplying athat the country is Approaching the legal limit of the use of credit, the Federal Reserve Board is giving serious consideration to the question of restoring the em- bargo on the export of gold, or of adopting alternative stabilizing meas ures. pss ., a,sa.r, ,...,w.
 Some treasury officials view with disquietude the continued exploitation of gold, and frankly advocate the re- imposition of the embargo to prevent any possible Arrangement of the credit structure through. depletion of the gold basis. N%ssa,.,,..s@' .
 The Reserve Board was instrument tai in lifting the wartime embargo on gold exportation last summer, and has steadily opposed it's restoration. Atlrecent meetings, when the matter was under consideration, nearly all the members have taken a position adver- SC to an embargo,s and the indications are that unless the situation becomes more serious the board will pursue the alternative course of regulating cred its and curbing speculation.
 REPORT GOLD SHIPMENT
 It has been reported unofficially that France and Great Britain will export $250, ,O00, 900, gold to this ,coun- tryI in the next six months for the liquidation of the Anglo French war loan, which natures next October. This would more than offset expor- tation of American gold up to date and improve the foreign exchange sit uation materially. 't~. GIT [ VT
 The advocates of an embargo con tend that further depletion of the gol6 supply will aggravate imitation and thus boost prices higher.
 Latest figures available show that from January l to February l, ex ports of gold from the United States totaled $63,769,203. Imports of gold during the same period amounted to only $12,2O3,OOO. Of the gold exports during that period, $25, 800 900 went to Argentina, $11 1,268,342 to Hongkong; $9, ,3O2, ,109 to other points in China, $, BOG, 1901 to Japan and $3,744,532 to Mexico. ... n'r".."s '
 During that period We received no gold from England or France, and on- ly a small amount comparatively from Canada and Italy. Embargoes on the exportation of gold have been in effect in European countries, their policy in this respect having drawn severe crit icisfn from former Secretary of the Treasury Glass, who held that lifting of the embargoes of the debts of Eu- rope to this country and the stabili- zation of foreign exchange, of the de- rangement of which, Europe is Justify complaining. v < M..g. ll h
 EXPECT GOLD RETURN
 Those who oppose an embargo on the exportation of gold believe that the tide of gold running between this country and Argentina and Japan vii! turn within the next few months. As American manufacturers extend their trade to these countries, it is expected that the gold will begin to flow back to this country. ,,, ,,,,.,,y ,, 3, s.,.,,,,,.-,

The special boost meeting at the
new quarters in the Bowman Hotel
building while not so largely attend
ed as could have been wished. was
lively from start to finish and a
strong refutation of the charges that
the Chamber has become in the
slightest measure defunct.
Secretary Haley reported on the
work accomplished during the past
three months, which included efforts
now apparently successful to have
the quarantine on Mexican corn lift
ed at this port; the work done by the
chamber in securing the refusal of
the State Department at Washington
to the request of the Carranza gov
eminent to bring federal troops
through Arizona to combat the So
nora revolutionists; the accomplish
ment of the chamber in having the
order of the post office department
recinded in diverting Sonora mail to
Juarez, the securing of $4,000 per
month from the county for the Sec
rotary as immigration commissioner
and the efforts now under way to
have the Sonora government reduce
the export tax on burros.

Nogales, Arizona, May 6, 1920
Some of the dailies published in
this country have circulated the story
that on account of Mr.. Adolfo de la
Huerta, Constitutional Governor of
the State of Sonora and at the pre-
sent time Supreme Chief of the
Liberal Constitutional Army, having
suffered a surgical operation he had
failed to attend to the affairs of his
Government while recovering from his
illness. For proper knowledge of the
people l am pleased to report that
Mr.. de la Huerta has not abandoned
for a single moment the hard labors
pertaining to his high position; and
wishing that the story to which
have referred shall not be given any
credit, as it is absolutely untrue,
hasten to state that Mr.. de la Huerta
continues to dispatch his official
labors, attending to the public in
general with the willingness which
has always characterized him.

THE SACRED COW" THAT
HAS MIXED N0GALES

Now in opposing Mr.. Clagett for
reelection on the Council two years
ago "The Oasis" called attention to
the fact that in sitting on that board
Mayor Clagett violated the law every
time that the board allowed and
paid a demand of the house of Roy
& Titcomb; and that he was subject
to fine or Imprisonment or both,
every time he, did so. That criticism
was not led level at Captain Mix at
that time, because he was not
candidate.
The board now in office succeeded
the one elected in 1916; and four of
the members are candidates for re-
election; and it has made fine re-
cord for economy, of. which ample
will be. published in these columns in
the course of the campaign. 1t will
be sufficient to state that they have
conducted the business of the city
along business lines, have kept every
thing going in fine shape, and have
reduced City Indebtedness.
In PEASANT it may not be amiss to
relate that the former board assumed
office with an Indebtedness of ST.
900 or less, and went out with debt
of more than $4,000. which has been
reduced by the present board, as will
be presented at later date.
During the two years that the
1916-191S board was in office with
Mayor Clagett illegally interested in
business transactions with the house
of Roy & Titcomb of which he was
and is a prominent factor, Captain
Mix is in the same category, the
Town Of Nogales paid to Roy & Tit
comb the handsome sum of $24,-
649.39, as shown, on the books of the
municipality. (Bills of the Nogales
Electric Light & Power Company are
included in that total).: Following
are the details by months as shown
in the report of the. audit of the
town accounts:

There have been two institutions
II Nogales which have assumed them
elves above criticism, and which
have resented any blame or censure
Cor themselves or for any individuals
N their respective organizations.
those are the house of Roy & Tit
:omb, with it's allied industries, the
Nogales Electric Power & Light
Company and the Arizona & Sonora
Manufacturing Company, with the
First National Bank. They have
oeen what is known in newspaper Of
ices all over the United States
Sacred Cow not to be called to
2ccount for anything done by either
OF by the chiefs in their ownership
and management.
AS shown in "The Oasis" yester-
lay these two institutions have had
a strong hand in the business. civic
and political activities of the place;
and they have dominated the mu-
aicipal government through some ten
years, with representatives from one
IL both of the concerns on the City
council; and in the term that closed
.wo years ago they controlled the
council completely, having two mem
bers from the house of Roy & Tit
comb, two from the First National
Bank, giving four out of seven mem
bers; while a fifth member is form
err employee of Roy & Titcomb, and
is in business on his own account.
Those five are H. M. Clagett, L. W.
Mix, Otto Fl. Herold, Theron Richard
son, j. w. Edwards. The other two
members of the board at that time
were James A. Harrison and E. K.
Cumming. Four of them are classed
as Republicans and three as Demo-
Gratis.
That council assumed the reins of
office on the first of June, 1916, and
relinquished office to the present
successors on the first of June, 1918.
In organizing as a council they
elected Mr. H. M. Clagett mayor.

Democratic leaders in Congress
charge "Old Guard" Republicans with
blocking ratification of the woman
suffrage amendment by Delaware,
believing that they fear the woman,s
vote in the Presidential election.
"There is a persistent belief that
the Republican leaders fear the eff
feet of the woman's participation in
this years election" said Senator F.
M. Simmons, of North Carolina, who
added he believed women's participa-
ton would be to the advantage of
the Democratic party, largely because
their sympathies are with the admin
istration's attitude toward the peace
treaty.
Senator Simmons recently declared
for ratification of the constitutional
amendment by the legislature of his
state, and his position undoubtedly
carried much weight with the Demo-
Gratis of North Carolina at their recent
convention at Raleigh, when they
adopted a suffrage plank and urged
the legislature, which will soon meet
in special session to be the thirty-six-
tn state to ratify.

CHAMBER OF
GO N N { rec
AND B A N K
HEADH|CHWAY

The Chamber of Commerce voted
last night to get solidly behind the
movement for permanent trunk
line highway through the county, and
work toward diyerting the bond
money now ava ls,le to the county
to the construction of this road.
The question of good roads for the
county received considerable discus
sion, and the feeling prevailed that
the accomplishment Of having the
Bankhead Highway routed through
Nogales was only the beginning of
our struggle for better roads. in
fact, it really pledged us to back up
this movement by securing a first
class highway from the Cochise coun-
,ty line to Nogales.
1t was decided to call mass meet
ing of all citizens of the city and
county at an early date to create
public sentiment favorable for the
diversion of the bond money now
available from other roads to this
main line trunk road, in order to Sc
cure $150O00 of government and state
money and relieve the county of the
maintenance of about 1870 of the
roads in the county. This mass
meeting is to be followed by another
at Patagonia in conjunction with the
chamber of commerce of that city to
complete the work.
1t was pointed out that the bond
issue voted some two years ago would
be practically wasted by using it ac-
cording to the specifications on which
the bonds were voted, because it now
costs so much more to make roads
than at that time, and because the
requirements of the various roads
have changed during the interim.
The saving, however, of building one
first class, main trunk road in. the
county and being relieved of its
maintenance will in two or three
three years enable the county to
build good permanent roads to all
parts from which the bond money is
for the present diverted.
The mass meeting will bring out
all these points, and everybody is
urged to get behind the movament
to secure the states and federal aid
in building the main county road. x

LEADERS u S E
GAG ON PEACE
RESOLUTION

WASHINGTON, D. C. May 6-The
party whip and "gag" rule are be-
ing employed by the House majority
leaders in their efforts to discredit the
Wilson administration. The old
tricks of the Cannon days did not com
pare with the present day Republican
tactics.
Representative E. w. Pou, ranking
Democratic on the House Rules Com
mittee, during the debate on the spe-
cial rule for the peace resolution told
the Republican leaders just where
they we're heading.
eff you adopt this rule" he said,
"no amendment of any kind will be
in order. Once again we are back to
the old order Of things. What a
spectacle! For two days the social
ed peace humbug will be debated.
Not, an ii" can be dotted or ct"
crossedAn A.
This indictment was greeted with
applause from Republicans.
Il am not surprised that the Re
publican side of the aisle, from which
there was so much opposition to the
war. should applaud again when you
are playing Germany's game, for that
is what you are doing% said Mr.. Pou.
"After all, you are proposing to en-
ter into treaty agreement with Ger
many, but you must take the so-called
peace resolution in it's entirety, no
matter what your views may be. This
situation would be humiliating to the
members of the House if they did not
remember that all legislation is sub
ject to control of four members of
the Republican steering committee. :"
Senator Lodge had indicated to
House leaders what they should do,
and they did it.
In conclusion, Mr.. Pou said: "a
more incompetent Congress than this
never assembled under the dome of
the Capitol. You have talked and
talked and killed time and done moth
ing but defeat the treaty and play
politics. With perfect confidence,
We submit the work of President Will

In their fear and hatred of the
President, some of the Republicans
have stopped pretty low. In the
