MEXICO CITY, Feb. 2a-Oil COM
panies to-day paid 5000 900 pesos to
the Mexican government on the special
export oil tax, due since December 81 j,
in compliance with the agreement
signed last September. Six million
pesos were paid hero and 1000 900
pesos in New York by the Huasteca
Petroleum Company, the Standard Oil
Company, the Aguilae Company and
others. 1t is expected that the re
naming companies will pay another
10000 900 pesos tomorrow.
Secretary Of the Treasury dc la
Huerta denied that the tax had been
reduced TO 40 per cent, saying that this
arrangement WAS only for this occasion,
as agreed. As difficulty was found in
securing the public debt bonds, he said,
the government accepted payments in
specie of 40 per cent Of the value Of
the bonds. Future payments, he de-
clared, must be In accordance with the
decree OF June 7, and he expressed a
hope that difficulties with New York
bankers would be arranged shortly.
The oil tax payments received to-
day are to be used by the government
to cover part of its debt, and it is be
lieved that the money will be turned
over to Mexican banks from which
Carranza extracted funds amounting
to $4,000, 900 pesos. The Finance Min
istry is preparing emission bonds Tor
this new debt. and probably 1000, 900
of the 100000 pesos due the banks
will be redeemed Immediately.
SO far no official statement has been
made regarding the payment to the
banks, as it is hoped that All arrange
mcnt with Thomas ". Lamont to cover

WALKER ENTERS
GOVERNOR RACE
VIII Take Stump EARLY In July,
He Says, In Opposing
Hardwick

ATLANTA, May 20. = Clifford
Walker, of Monroe, former attorney
general, has cast his political SOM
brero into the arena and is rearing
to go.
In a message sent from his home
town Monroe. Mr.. Walker says he
has decided definitely to become a
candidate for :he Democratic nomi-
nation for Governor of Georgia, in
the primary to be held in September.
his platform, re says, will be given
to the public at an early later date,
and in that he will define his position
on the several matters of public i'm
portance in which the people of the
state are at this time vitality inter
ested. He will, he says, maintain his
headquarters in Monroe for the pres
ent, at least, and that it is his pur-
pose to take the stump early in July
and canvass the state, speaking to
the people face to face.
Mr.. Walkers announcement, which
it signed by himself, is brief and
carries no intimation of what will be
made the main issue in the campaign.
In long distance telephone CONVEX
sation along that line, Mr.. Walker
said the very brief announcement he
has made through the local newspa-
per office in Monroe is all he cares
to say, or can fairly say, at this time,
which is merely the definite state
ment that he is a candidate for gov
ernor. There are several prime pub
lie questions, he says, on which he
expects to declare himself, but he
does not care to discuss them, or say
even what they are, until he has pre-
pared his platform for publication.
The announcement, while coming
two weeks late than has been expect
ed, follows on the grape vine COM
ment of the past two or three days
that the Walker campaign arrange
ments had been completed, although
it was understood quite directly and
on good authority Thursday of this
week that he himself had decided not
to announce until just before the
meeting of the legislature. There is,
therefore, considerable interest in
just what unexpected development
brought it at this time, and some
opinion is ventured that lie resulted
from the declaration that G. Ogden
Persons will not be a candidate.
