OLD MEXICAN OIL TAXES
TO HOLD FOR FEBRUARY
Objections to NeW Schedule
Still Under Discussion.

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 27.-Petroleum ex-
porters have not yet been able TO form
ulate completely their objections to the
new project for payment of taxes.
which the Mexican Government recently
submitted to them. Representatives of
the old interests asserted after a brief
session to-day with Senior de In
Huerta that it was improbable the prof.
ect would be made effective as law be-
fore February Is, which means the
February taxes will be paid at the same
old rate.
The association of producers of pc
troleum in Mexico submitted to De la
Huerta a detailed table of statistics,
which they said proved not only that
the present rate of taxation. which is
based on 10 per cent. ad valorem, at
the Mexican fixed valuation, was eX-
cessive, but that the proposed plan
based on a fixed quantity rate was en-
tircly out of proportion to the actual
sales price. An announcement was
made that twenty-five oil exporting
companies during December had paid
to the Government 5,340.197 pesos in
taxes.

fused to include the appropriation in the
agricultural bill, but it was inserted by
an amendment of Representative Lang
ley (Ky) after several impassioncd
speeches as to the great value of Con-
gressional seeds.
The House svoted to eliminate the
amendment. but Representative Dyer
(Mo) claimed that he voted under a
misrepresentation and moved to recon-
slider the vote by which the proposal was
defeated. A motion was made by Rep
resentative Walsh (Mass.) to lay the
motion to reconsider on the table. This
was lost by tie vote. Then the House
voted 169 to 1853 to reconsider. and after
another long roll call reinserted the free

the State Department would not give its
approval to the proposed new treaty be-
tween the United States and Japan un-
til opportunity had been afforded mcm-
bers of the Senate and others interested
to place before the department their
arguments
Senator Phelan said that Secretary
Colby had assured him also that no
hasty action was contemplated. He eX-
planned that some fear had been felt
by him and others that on account of the
short time remaining or this session of
Congress the matter might be forced
through without further consideration.
