To the Editor of the News:
Every voter in Nevada will lc ex-
pected 10 vote either for or against
two amendments to the divorce laws
of the state of Nevada November Z.
These proposed amendments have
had wide publicity in the press OF
the state. One of them is favored by
some lawyers of the state, while the
other is backed by certain financial
interests in the state. particularly in
Reno. They practically agree In the
time of residence in the state-name-
Is. six months=and both of them
should be rejected for that reason.
The Christian people of the state
want to rescue and protect the good
name of u commonwealth by hay
ing a law passed that will compel a
years residence in the state before a
divorce can be granted. We expect
that such an amendment will be pre-
sented to the incoming legislature
for action. The whole problem Of
marriage and divorce is distinctly a
moral question having to do with the
happiness of family life. On moral
grounds only l base my action. There
fore | urge all voters 10 vote against
the two proposed amendments to the
marriage and divorce law which will
appear on the official ballot Novem-

BIG MEXICAN OIL
COMBINE PLANNED
Five American Companies to
Consolidate Lands Not
Yet Producing.

One OF the most important events In
the development OF Mexican oil lands
since American capital entered the Mexi-
can fields came to light yesterday in
informal ton that hve prominent COM
panies were preparing to pool their re-
sources, use their joint funds for drill-
ing wells and transporting petroleum to
the seaboard and divide the resultant
profits through a central operating COM
pany. The companies working on the
plan are the Mexican Petroleum Com
pany, the Transcontinental Oil Com
pany. which is controlled by the
Standard oil Company of New Jersey /,
the Texas Company, the Mexican SIN
clair OIL Corporation, owned by the Sim
clair Consolidated Oil Corporation, and
the Atlantic Refining Company.
The program calls for the consollda-
tion in a new company of the property
which the above companies own or lease,
with the exception of lands now in pro-
duction. The so-called Golden Lane or
exceedingly rich oil land, narrow strip
starting fifteen miles west Of Tampico
and running thirty miles westward, viii
not be involved nor will the acreage flnaN-
ing that section from which much OF the
present output of Mexico comes be con-
trolled by the new organization. 1t IS
planned as the facts We're discovered
yesterday, to comprise in the new under
taking several hundred thousand acres
of land, bounded on the south by the
Tuxpam River and which are believed 10
hold much oil. but which have not been
touched in the development work OF the
last ten years.
For one thing, the new undertaking
promises TO answer soon the much
mooted question OF whether or not Mex
leo has large oil deposits outside OF the
narrow territory centering on Tampico.
AS many OF the older wells have be-
come exhausted or turned TO salt water.
the need for an expansion OF producing
territory has been troubling the pro-
ducers for two years. The idea OF joint
efforts to find new wells, 1t is under
stood. was because of the necessity OF
making rapid progress in exploration at
a minimum of cost. 1t has been found
through competitive undertakings that
in some cases the cost of producing a
dollars worth of oil and getting 1t TO
the refinery has amounted to twice what
the oil was worth. The consolidation
not only will facilitate development in
several localities at the same time at
less expense than If the several COM
panies worked separately but also Will
cheaper the movement Of oil from the
wells through the JOINT use u nc" piPS
lines.
E. L. Doheny, head OF the Mexican
Petroleum Company, Is in Mexico City
with several of his officers, but 1t is
now known that the project took him
there The Mexican Government, IT IS
understood, Is aware of the plan and
has made no objections TO it. The new
company probably will be Incorporated
under American laws. the stock to be
divided among the participating con-
Germs on a basis established by acreage
owned and the amount of cash capital
subscribed.

the right to elect six out of Its twenty
directors. from getting control of the
