and net operating income after taxes
and equipment rents OF $1.523.105,

The company's statement compares its
gross earnings during January for the
past four years as follows: 1919, $l3.-

Interest Payments, 0,144.s31.
Easier money conditions, which en-
abled the government to mark down
its rates on shor-dated securities from
per cent to Az per cent in case Of
Treasury certificates, and from oSt per
cent to AZ per cent in case OF Treasury
notes. have not as yet been reflected
In monthly interest payments.
For the seven months Of the fscal
year ended January 81 interest pay
ments totaled S545, ,327,28s, compared
with s547,s ,2ss for the correspond
ing period of the preceding year. de-
crease of S2.500.000.
For the full fiscal year 1921 ended
June 80 the government interest pay
ments fell just short of a billion dol
lars actually being $s99,l44.131.
Commenting on the situation, the
Wall Street Journal says:
With the refunding operations OF
the Treasury, by which maturing GER
tificates are being replaced with paper
bearing a much lower rate. and with
! the possibility of the government be-
ing able shortly to sell short-tern
notes at a lower rate than victory
notes which are being retired, the In
terest bill of the government ought TO
show a decrease from now on.
The governments program might
be upset, however, If the proponents
of the soldiers bonus ram through a
bill with a provision that the Treas
ury shall sell short-term notes or
bonds to defray the cash cost OF tie
bonus. All of Secretary MELONS ef-
forts to reduce interest disbursements
win be nullified If Congress saddles

stationary. several other bonds, like

oversubscribed yesterday. was admit
ted to trading on the stock exchange
today. This issue sold around 94I.
which was half a point above the

the bonds.
Strong mt Slight Advances.
Many bonds were strong at slight
advances, helped by the indications
OF easier money rates.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit IS were
strongest of the fractions and indus
trials showed irregularity.
Liberty bonds were steady on mod
crate dealings.
There was no let-up in the de-
mand for Missouri. Kansas and Texas
bonds, all Of which were heavily
dealt in at fresh tops The adjust
ment 5s remained a favorite. Chi
cago and Eastern Illinois general 5s

their best prices.

FREEDOM OF MEXICAN
PRESS NOW ENJOYED
GREATEST IN YEARS
tRy Associated Press)

MEXICO CITY. July 1o.-Freedom
of the press in Mexico is as near a
reality now as has been recorded dur
ing the past half century, according
to competent observers. Contrasted
with the censorship days of Huerta
and Carranza, editors and correspond
ents are enjoying almost unprecedent-
ed liberty, and President Obregon on
several occasions has emphasized that
newspapers and other publications are
free to go as far as they like.
The newspapers Omega and Las No
ticias, the former a weekly and the
latter daily, lead the opposition to
the administration and the vindictive-
ness which they display in almost
every issue would not have been toll
Grated for more than one day during
the Carranza regime, for instance.
The more substantial newspaper of
the capital spare no ink now in telling
the reading public wherein they think
the Obregon regime is at fault and
even rank Interpretations of converse
tions with the chief executive are al
lowed to pass with only mild pro-
test.
Claim No Censorship
that there is no cable or mail censor
ship and if there is, it is 80 adroitly
done that it has not yet been detected.
President Obregon in one respect
offers sharp contrast to his predeces-
sor President Carranza. The present
executive is much more approachable
and has none of the aloofness of the
/ former First Chief. He receives news
papermen regularly every fortnight
and local reporters, many of whom
have been with him on campaign, feel
no hesitation in calling Chapultepec
Castle by telephone to converse with
the president The newspaper inter
views are extremely informal affairs,
the president sitting ct little table
in the center of circle of reporters
and correspondents. Refreshments
are served and quite frequently the
president relaxes and tells lively sto-
ries.
