u. s. PROPOSES new
TREATY WITH MEXICO
AMiTY IF PROPERTY is
PROTECTED.

WaSningtOn.-The American gov
eminent has proposed a treaty of am.
ity and commerce with Mexico, it
has been announced at the State De
partment in which Mexico would
agree to safeguard the rights Of prop
erty in that country which American
citizens had before the constitution
Of the treaty automatically would ac-
complish American recognition of the
Mexican government.
Announcement of the administra-
tons policy was male by Secretary
Hughes after the 81 bject had been
discussed at the cabinet meeting
President Harding and his advisers
had before them a communication
from President Obregon relating to
the proposed treaty, which was pre-
scented to the Mexican president by
George T. Summerlin, the American
charge at Mexico City, on May q.
The text of Obregoa's reply has
been withheld.
1t is reported. however, that Obre-
gon referred to the negotiations which
are proceeding with Mr. Summerlin
and indicated a willingness to con-
tinue them. He has summoned to
the capital Ministers Gales and de la
Huerta, who are reported to have adj
vised against the signing of such
treaty at a Mexican cabinet confer
ence.
Secretary Hughes announcement
said that if Mexico did not contem-
plate confiscatory policy with re-
gard to property the American gov
ernmert could conceive of no pos
sible objection to the treaty"
1t was said that the proposed treaty
contains the conventional stipula-
tons as to commerce and reciprocal
rights in both countries" that it pro-
vides for the conclusion of a conven-
ton for the settlement of claims for
losses of life and property, and also
a provision for a Just settlement of
boundary matters"
The departments statement said
that the fundamental question which
confronts the American government in
considering its relations with Mexico
is teh safeguarding of property rights
against confiscation. 1t was empha-
sized that this question should not be
confused with any matter of personal
tiles or of the recognition Of any par
ticular administration, and the dec
laration was made that whenever
Mexico is ready to give assurances
that she will perform her fundamental
obligation in the protection, both of
persons and of fights of property val
idly acquired, there will be mo OBJ
stacle to the most advantageous rela.
lions between the two peoples"

CLOSE VOTE OPENS.
WAY TO INCOME TAX
CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
ADOPTS AMENDMENT OF
FERED BY JUDGE REID.
LEGISLATURE WILL DECIDE
Sullivan Amendment Guards Rights Of
municipalities and Parishes-FK
Maximum Taxation of Corpora
tons Owning Railroads.

Baton Rouge.-The Legislature will
have the right after May /, 1924, to
levy a state income tax not to ex-
coed 8 per cent.
This authority was granted when
the Constitutional Convention adopted
an amendment to this effect introduc-
ed by Judge Robert R. Reid, of Amite.
The levying of the income tax is
thus left to the next Legislature to be
elected by the people as that new
body will be inaugurated in May,
1924.
Nothing is final in this convention
until the constitution is finally
adopted, signed and promulgated I'm
der the rules any ordinance can be
reccnsidered, changed and amended
at any time. There are many ordi
nances now on the calendar, with i'm
portant amendments. There is no
certainty, therefore, that the vote on
the income tax is final. The ordinance
is still on second reading at this writ
ing. Even after it goes to the co-or-
dination committee it can be brought
back with changes, alterations or
amendments.
The vote for adoption of the Reid
amendment was 81 year and 62 nays,
and proceeded down the alphabetical
roll neck and neck until the names
of delegates beginning with IS were
reached. These names produced sew
en- yeas and two nays furnishing the
majority of five.
The state income tax shall De in
lieu Of the state occupational license
tax, and to make certain that it does
not apply to municipalities and par
ishes, Colonel John P. Sullivan intro
duced another amendment which also
was adopted. 1t provides "but when
an income tax is levied by the state,
in lieu Of state license taxes, this
shall not prohibit the levy by the po-
litical subdivision of the state such
license taxes as the Legislature may
authorize"
The Reid amendment reads:
Provided after May /, 1924, equal
and uniform taxes, not to exceed 8
per cent, and for state purposes only,
may be levied upon net incomes Such
taxes when levied and paid shall be
credited, protanto, or entirely Offset
by all taxes, state and local, paid by
the taxpayer for the year in which
such income tax is due or paid. Such
income tax shall be in lieu of occupa-
tional licenses and may be in lieu of
other taxes. Public officials shall not
be excepted. Reasonable exemptions
may be granted"
The vote upon the Reid amendment
came in the afternoon. The debate
was led by Judge Reid in support and
Senator H. B. Warren, income tax ex-
ponent, in opposition. The latter was
opposed to making the income tax a
lieu tax, but advocated the income
tax
Colonel Sullivan expressed the fear
that the Reid amendment might serve
to prevent municipalities and cities
from levying an occupational license
tax and that New Orleans thereby
would lose revenue. totaling more than
