MEXICO ARE IMMORAL

rBy MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED w'ReI
Mexico City, July 16,--Conditions
in the northern border states or
Mexico were characterized as I'M
moral and disorderly by Robert "
pesoueira, financial agent for the
Mexican government in the Uhiteo
States. in a statement he has just
issued to the Mexican newspapers
Senior Pesqueira said the inscrlp-
tion which appears on signpostS
alcne, the roads to Tijuana, Lower
california, "To Mexico--the road
IL hell" was accurate. For few
years no one had been able to WORK
with security in Chihuahua ana ne
added. that "in Juarez, as in Lower
California, formerly there was en-
throned rapine in all its forms ohe
single example would suffice TO
show the immortality that exists
there. The gambling concession
produced $11,50O monthly to the
government, and the same cohces-
sionaires today are offering to pay
$50, 900 monthly for the same PRIV
| ilege." ,, .n,,
senior Pesqueira charged that
Mexican laborers who crossed the
line were being "villainously ex-
nloited" by labor agents, with the
aid of the Mexican authorities. re
likewise attacked the alleged prac-
tice of some American merchah.S
who furnish office supplies to Mex
lean officials, of making out IN
voices for double the right amount
This fact shows the robbery
that 10 being systematically com
mitted against the national treas

Santa Fe, July 16.-Goyernor
Larrazolo has sent the following
letter TO ten prominent citizens Of
San Juan county, setting forth the
danger of carelessness in the mat
ter of the reclamation of the wa
tiers of the San Juan river for the
benefit of New Mexico. This is of
immense value to the state and the
governor set for the conditions
most completely in the letter which
he has sent out.
Under the auspices of the
League of the Southwest, which is
composed of the states of Arizona,
California, Colorado, Nevada. New
Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas and
Utah, there is now being pressed
with energy before the United
States reclamation service, a pro-
iect looking to the reclamation of
all the arid lands in what is known
as the Colorado river nasin. This
project seeks to control all the wa
tiers of the Colorado river and its
tributaries, which are principally
the Green river, in the state Of
Utah; the Grand river, in the state
of Colorado, and the San Juan riv-
er in the state OF New Mexico.
The Proposed Project.
THE project in its entirety seeks
to utilize the waters of these re-
spective rivers in the irrigation ol
land in the individual states
through which they flow; the state
of New Mexico, it is estimated mas
between 100000 and 100000 acres,
all in San Juan county, which can
be irrigated from the san Juan
river by the proper conservation OK
the waters that flow in that stream
1t is also estimated that the state
of California has about hlllloii
acres in the Imperial Valley All
zone quarter Of milllon, ana
lower California about one-quartel
million acres, making a total OF
about one million acres in Cantor
MIA. Arizona, and Lower California
that can be irrigated from the COL
orado river if the project be put
through.

Governor LarraZolo has issued
two pardons. The first to Miguel
Casados of Union county, who was
convicted on July 10. 1919. for lar
ceny of cattle and sentenced to
from two and half to three years
in the penitentiary. This pardon
was granted on the grounds that a
large petition signed by the clti-
zens of Union county praying for
the pardon inasmuch as Casados
was long a resident of the county
and bore a good reputation during
that time and for the reason that
the testimony in the case was nor
well substantiated as one witness
against the defendant was himself
guilty of the same offense charged
against Casados and the proofs
were not reliable. The second
pardon was to Amilio Bernard Of
Sierra county. He was convicted
on the charge of larceny of cattle
and sentenced to from elghteer
months to two years. The sentence
was suspended during good pc
havior and later the suspension
was revoked and afterward proven
| an error. A full pardon Is now
| granted on sufficient evidence.
