Forty mine laws are on the statute

Sc, 10000 OIL EXPORT,
TAX PAID TO MEXICO
Producers Settle on 40 Per
Cent. Rate.

After months of dickering and bar
gaining between the oil companies pro-
ducng in Mexico and the Mexican Gov
ernment over the amount of export
taxes on oil an adjustment has been
finally made and virtually all of the dis
puted taxes have been paid on 40 per
cent. basis, as outlined in Mexico City
dispatches earlier in the week. The oil
companies made their payments yester-
day and the day before, most of them
being turned in in Mexican gold rather
than in the alternative. Mexican bonds.
The amount understood to have been
paid totals about 13,500,000 pesos or
about S6.750.000 of American funds
This covers the much disputed export
tax from the time of the original levy
on July / of last year up to the end
of the year. Had the companies been
compelled to pay the taxes as originally
assessed by the Mexican Government
their payments would have amounted
to almpst s17,00O.000.
Mexfco's usual monthly production
taxes have been paid as they became
due, for the dispute involved only the
export levy.
