Producers Protest
Mexican Oil Taxes
AS Confscatory
Suggest 10 Per Cent Levy ON
Exports After Deduction
of Expenses; May Nullify
Effect of Article XVII

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 2-Formal OBJ
gections to the governments projected
I law providing for the payment Of oil
taxes was presented to Adolfo de la
Huerta, Secretary of the Treasury,
yesterday afternoon by a committee
representing the Association Of Pro-
ducers of Petroleum in Mexico. Asser-
ton was made by members of the COM
mlttee that 1t was the most energetic
protest as yet made to the government
by the association.
The memorandum contained charges
Of "subterfuge" In the designation of
the act and declaration that "com-
panies which export petroleum are sub
Ject TO maneuvers which can be ar
bitrary on the part of officials or the
employees of the Secretary of Finance .
1t alleged the projected legislation
would levy upon petroleum taxes which
were exorbitant and wholly out of pro-
portion to the value of the product
"Exorbttant increases in the tax to
be levied on petroleum are provided
for in the proposed law" the note con-
tinued. "For instance, Panuco crude
petroleum would bear tax Of Al per
cent of It's total value, or four out Of
every ten barrels; Tuxpam crude would
be taxed 2S per cent, or nearly three
barrels out of ten, and fuel oil would
bear 81 per cent tax, or one barrel out
OF every three produced. Such tax
would ruin any business"
The oil men suggested 10 per cent
tax on the value Of petroleum exports
after expenditures incurred had been
deducted Discussing waste at oil
wells, which the Mexican authorities
have asserted amounts to more than
50,000,000 pesos annually, the protest
admitted there was unnecessary waste
which should be stopped, but it was in
sisted that some waste was unavoid-
able and should not be taxed.
1t was stated semi officially to-day
the administration officials had com
bined to push the projected law during
the coming session of the Mexican
Congress, and it was declared that
President obregon would urge q spe-
ciic provision in the law stating that
Article 81 Of the Constitution. which
would nationalize oil deposits, would
not be retroactive. The President
has on several occasions declared this
was his view of Article Of

initiate with fictitious value the water
ed securities.
THE result-which is the condition
with which you gentlemen have to
deal today-is the existence in the
District of one well built. economi-
cally managed. exceedingly valuable
street railway-the Capital Traction
and one less we'll built. less valu-
able. with a long past history of un-
economical management-the Wash
inGton Railway and Electric. And on
top of those conditions. fate has given
the we'll built and well managed sys-
tenn a naturally profitable territory
through which to run. and the less
we'll built. more over capitalized
system a relatively Improbable terri
tory through which to run.
Before considering my suggestion
for public ownership l ask you 70
consider. for a moment the Districts
street railways as whole. If all
these lines were merged into one
system the highly profitable lines
of the Capital Traction could carry
the improbable lines of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric at. l be-
lieve. a reduced fare throughout the
whole area.
But the Capital Traction is a pri-
vate corporation. and it cannot be
compelled TO turn over part OF lts
profits to the Washington Railway
and Electric to make up losses on
the Washington Railway and E1ec-
trio system.
Thinks Voluntary Merger Unlikely.
Il have become convinced. there
fore. that a merger Of the two com
panies by their two private owners
is extremely UNLIKELY think i'm
possible. 1 am equally firmly con-
vinced that the only solution Of the
present situation is to utilize the
profits of the Capital Traction lines
to Offset the losses of the Washing
ton Railway and Electric. This. how
ever. cannot be done while the lines
remain in private ownership, which
brings me to the practical conclu-
sion I mentioned at the beginning
That the only solution is for the
government to take over both prop
critics. and merge them as one sys-
tenn under government owenrship.
after which they could be operated
by the government or leased to a
private operating company. accord

THE SECRET SPRINGS OF
FRIENDSHIP.
By. DIR. FRANK CRANE.
Copyright, 1921

When a man says friendship I think
he utters the deepest word in human
speech. 1t ranks even a little higheI
than love. being a sort Of unselfe'
love, love with the itch and hunger
extracted.
We do not love our friends; we like
them. We love our children, wife
and parents and kinsfolk. We lik'
apples and custard pie and a coy
FIRE ant a good bed and slippers-anc
our friend.
Like goes farther in than love. Llk,
is a voice from the subconscious self
| a cry from the inward and unknown
me. 1t lies behind the will, beneath
the judgment. in the far darkness oi
our secret soul.
1t does not say that a wife cannoi
be also a friend. but she rarely Is
she is usually an enemy to whom We
are passionately attached. And If she
be friend. then that friendship hai
grown up from other sources. and i!
of A different texture and quality
from the sex motives which MAKE
! marriages. Not many women woule
tolerate comradeship from a husband
Still rarer j. friendship between par.
snt md child. 1t is an amazing thing
I have noticed here. how warm. in.
telligent. and cultured father and sor
both strive for friendship and canno'
attain it. Sometimes they succeed
bar so rarely that 1t may be called
phenomenon.
Whence. then. come friends? Ant
who are they? And how can one max,
them? All answers TO these pathetic
questions seem TO me TO be unsatis.
| factory. partial. insufficient and by thu
| way. The rules of the wise Will no

, being noble and good; friendship doe!
, not arise from similarity of tastes
| and otherwise one can. in actual ex
; perience. drive a coach and fou
! through all and any of the prescrip.
! tions Of the proverbial philosophers.
The fact is that the secret spring!
| of friendship are wholly mysterious
| Searching for them we must report
