OIL TAXES HURT
OBREGON RULE
- -
Standard Oil and Other Inter.
ests Stop Expectations,
also Revenues.

WASHINGTON, July 5. Another
crisis in Mexieo's internal affairs, with
the possibility that President Obregon
may find himself seriously menaced from
within, may be expected to develop be-
fore long, according to predictions made
today by Washington representatives of
the oil interests in Mexico.
Being in need of more funds short
time ago, President Obregon increased
the export duty on oil some rs per cent
and this, according to the oil men, Is
likely to prove a boomerang. The Stand
ard Oil Company, with vast interests
throughout Mexico. promptly Withdrew
its tankers from service and stopped, for
the time beirg, at least, the expectation
of Mexican oil. Other big interests cut
down expectations.
The result has been that Obregons
revenue has been seriously curtailed and
the oil men who are keenly watching
the situation freely predict that Obre-
Gon is going to have serious financial
troubles in the very near future. Most
Of the Mexican governments revenue is
derived from the various kinds Of taxes
which are imposed on the production
and expectation of oil, which is her chief
product.
The oil representatives set up the ar
gument that without oil expectations,
Oregon will be without funds, and with
out funds he cannot survive the numer-
Gus enemies that are working against
him within and without his own bor-
ders

at the luncheon Of the American Club,

LONDON. July 5.-Despite limitations
to the contrary. it was definitely learned
today that the nited States Government

Whitehall-the seat Of British official
dom-is keenly disappointed Il is IN
derstood that the Cabinet has given di-

both the treaty and disarmament but
there has been no return motive Of an
official character. SO far. America has

Prominent officials declare that Great

many rUOfficial assurances. there has
been no tangible move towards a settle

It has been openly minated, both in

the American Government had signified
approval of certain measures in connec-

HUN ATTITUDE
ON u. S. PEACE
is APATHETIC
Reichstag Lobby, Satisfied
Over Technical State Ex-
poets No Great Change.
ERzBERGER IS HOPEFUL

BERLIN, July 5.-Germany is apathetic
today over peace with America. News
that President Harding had signed the
congressional resolution finally ending
the technical state Of war between the
two countries aroused no enthusiasm.
There were no Joy bells, no flags, no
whistles, no cheering In the streets
There was even no flag flying over the
American embassy" Ellis Loring
Dresel, the United States commissioner,
ordered flags held in readiness so they
could be run up when official word was
received from Washington that President
Harding had signed the peace resolu-
ton, but up to shutdown the dispatch had
not been received
In the reichstag lobby satisfaction was
expressed over the technical state of
peace but It was declared that no great
change in conditions might be expected.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
ARE BRIEF.
The Berliner Tageblatt carried brief
announcement that peace had been re-
stored with the United States Theodore
Wolff, editor of the paper, in his weekly
editorial, ignored peace completely.
The Communist newspaper Rote Fahne
and the Socialist organ. Vorwaerts printed
a three-line item saying that President
Harding had signed. There was no com
ment
DR.. Matthias Erzberger. known as the
power behind the Wirth Government"
called it a peace without hatred"
Il was very pleased TO see that President
Harding has signed the peace resolution, -
said DR.. ErZberger. 1T brings the second
era Of peace. Versailles was the first
era. But now the United States begins
the era Of actual world peace
EXPECTATIONS
OF ERZBERGER.
Asked what results he expected from
the peace DR.. Erzberger replied:
Il expect three
First, resumption Of diplomatic re-
lations
Second, tremendous resumption OF com
mercial relations
Third, American disarmament which
means world wide disarmament
This. believe, is President Harding's
greatest mission. I believe that the ex-
port trade win be materially assisted.
After liquidation Of German property in
America. the surplus will be about $780,
0o0, 00o remaining TO our credit. We can
use this to buy American raw materials to
assist Germany in industrial recon
struction.

ing routed through South, Illinois and
Georgia streets and Capitol avenue, in
stead of through Delaware and Ohio
streets, in accordance with the councils
recent rerouting order. Mr.. Henry saiG
that It is impossible to change the troll
ley platforms on the cars so they may
pass under the elevated tracks at the
Union Station The committee permit
ted him to continue to use the old rouTe
while an electrical engineer from the
public service commission investigates his
defense
Mr. Henry, it was said. insisted that
he did not want to see his interurbans
use the new route because he believes
they viii lose passengers they now
pick up in Ohio street. Mr.. Schmidt
said he replied to this with a statement
that the town pump is going to be re-
moved" The councilman believes that
more passengers will be picked up by the
interurbans in Illinois street than in Ohio
because the transient hotel district, as
well as the Union Station, is located in
the former.
NOW Most WAIT FOR
COMPANY TO GET FUNDS.
Aside from working out details of the
new scheme the council committee has lit
tie more it can do toward Relieving down
town congestion until the Street Railway
Company can find money with which to
put in the necessary special track work
Mr.. Schmidt said again The company is
understood to contend that there is no
chance for it to get in better financial
condition until the city relieves 1t of
burdens such as paving between its
tracks and the city council passes an
ordinance which would curtail Jitney bus
competition. The council. on the other
hand, is not disposed to do anything for
the Street Car Company until it does
something for the city, according to Mr..
Schmidt
Meanwhile Corporation Counsel Samuel
Ashby is preparing the ordinance which
will put the Street Railway Company
under all the regulations exercised by the
city before the company surrendered its
franchise early in June. The company re-
fused last week to negotiate a contract
giving the city these rights.
