CONF FERENCE ON
OIL ISSUES IN
MEXICO STARTS
American Delegation Talks
Over Program For 2 Hours
With de la Huerta
PAY VISIT TO OBREGON
Sessions in Mexico City 10
be Continued Throughout
This Week, is Report

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 80. =. (By the
Associated Press) After a two-hour
meeting today with Secretary of the
Treasury de la Huerta, the American
oil company representatives who
came to discuss oil questions with the
government, paid brief visit of cour-
tesy to President obregon
w. c. Teagle of the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey, speaking for
the committee, said this mornings
conference was not an important .)ne,
having been occupied with outlining
the general program TO be followed.
The oil men have asserted that
every effort will be made to limi. the
discussions 1t is thought improbable
that the sessions will be concluded,
however, before the end of the week,
inasmuch as President Obregon and
his cabinet will be occupied Thursday
with affairs incidental to the opening
of congress.
Consideration of the Amparo suit
brought in 1919 for the Texas COM
pany against the Mexican president
and department or commerce and IN
dustry was continued today by the
supreme court. II is not believed Il
decision will be handed down for ,ev-
eral days.
Supreme Court Justice Flores,
speaking to the Associated Press to-
day declared the pending decision
was of vast Importance inasmuch as
it will establish the general principle
upon which all other Amparo cases
will be based. He explained that the
court was performing in an unprece-
dented manner in classifying more
than 100 Amparo suits, upon which it
would pass and decide according to
groups, rather than individuals.
The chamber of deputies extended
it's extraordinary session today with

Ne " BASIS Of
TAXATION WILL
Be ASKED soon
Senator Smoot Prepares Bill
to Derive Revenue From
Only Six Sources
PROPOSAL IS SIMPLE
Utah Legislator Claims His
Plan Would Save Huge
Sum in Collections

WASHINGTON, Aug. 80. A new
basis of taxation to take the place of
the house revenue measure and prac-
tically all present tax laws was pro-
posed today by Senator Smoot, Repub-
lican, Utah, who announced he was
preparing bill embodying the plan
which he estimated would yield $3,-
S95, 5,000.000 this year He added that
he would take the question up with
the senate finance committee when it
begins consideration of revenue ques-
tions Thursday.
The use of only six sources of tax
alton, including a tax on manufacture
ers' sales, instead of the more than
35 now on the statute books, was ad-
vocated by the senator. The six wells
from which the Utah senator propos-
ed to pump revenue and the amounts
he estimated each would yield annual
ly follows:
Income taxes, (maximum rate of 80
per cent? $S30,000,000.
Ten per cent tax on net corporation
profits, $445, 100000.
$255, 900, 900.
state taxes, S1oU,UUU,UUV.
Manufacturers sales tax (three per
cent? $1,200,00d,000.
Import taxes, (tariff) $400,000,000.
While the six sources woud produce
only $3,2S0,000, Smoot estimated that
the other $615, 100000 would be OBJ
tanned from collection of unpaid taxes,
receipts from war salvage and the old
tax on Withdrawals of liquor from
bonded warehouses. Unpaid taxes, he
figured, should add S340.000,000 to
this years revenue, war salvage re-
ceipts should be around 100000,
and the liquor tax should produce an
other $75,000,000.
The $3,S95, 100000 anticipated as
the laws yield will exceed the gov
ernment commitments at present by
S434, zoe, 900. according to Smoot.
The surplus, he said. could be used
by the treasury to meet other de-
mands which might be made.
One argument which Smoot said
could be made in favor of his program
was it's simplicity. Anybody can
make out his tax return" if congress
adopts this suggestion, he said, ad
ding that it would result in a saving
of perhaps $25 100000 in tax collec
tions and would do away with about
two-thirds of the employees in the rev
enue service.

Anderson, S. C.
Dear Sir:
Unless the farmers adopt sowe
such plan as you outlined in the
daily papers we are going broke The
Boil Weeyil is very destructive in my
section, and below there it has cut
the cotton crop badly. We can't have
the Boil Weevil eat up our crop and
then have our supplies to buy. That
will be down-hill business. and the
man who does it will be going down
hill very fast. Five acres in wheat
five acres in oats and five acres in
corn, and not more than four or five
acres in cotton, is a very good way
divide up their crop. We will have
heat, oats and corn to sell, and
maybe we can sell enough to make
our other crops without borrowing
any money. In that way the farmer
will be self-sustaining and he will
get more prosperous every year. I
expect to adopt that plan, or some
such plan as that, hereafter. I will
certainly make my supplies at home
the future.
Very truly yours,

AnueTSOI, >. u.
Gentlemen:
Referring to your advertisement
in the papers, will say that I have
never given the Boil Weevil a great
deal Of thought until yesterday, when
l went to my farm and began to ey-
anime, and find that we have them
here in abundance. It is going to
damage us here as 1t has all other
farmers in countries where it has
been, and We will have to farm ac-
cordingly, making our supplies at
home. II we SOW eight acres in oats
and wheat and plant five acres in
corn we will make enough with these
crops to supply the needs Of the farm
and have some to sell, and then
think we will find that we will be
unable to cultivate properly moro
than nine or ten acres in cotton to
the plow, and If we undertake more
than that the Boil Weevil will eat it
up, for nine or ten acres Is as much
as we can fight the Boil Weevil on
successfully. | am very sure it pays
to fertilize grain when it is sown,
and ! intend to use great deal OF
1T, and, as I have always liked yours,
will continue to use it.
Yours truly,
