Mexican Political Parties
To Seek Congress Control
BY FRED'k :. NEUMEIER
Omitted Press staff Correspondent

MEXICO CITY, Aug. Indications
here are that the opening of the new
Mexican congress will be stormy one.
Duplicate credentials have been issued
in many states and reports are that
nearly half of the members of the
Chamber of Deputies will have to fight
for their seats
Reports have even gone SO far as
to predict the establishment of two
congresses, unless matters are straight
ened out before the formal opening in
September.
The Constitutionalist party leaders
have been meeting in Mexico CITY re-
Gently and laying plans for the defense
OF the credentials OF their members.
The Cooperatista party, which claims
majority for the government. also
has, been preparing for a fight. The
leaders have been holding secret meet
ings.
While Francisco Villa has kept out
of the political campaign, the Consti-
tutionalists look to him for moral sup
port at least.

CHICAGO, H., Aug. u Rotary
a great unrecorded revolution" Ray
mond H. Ravens of Kansas City, Mo-,
international president of Rotary
clubs, said in submitting a program
of work for the coming year to the
International Council of Rotary clubs
here today
The council is meeting here to de-
termine a program for the year. Men
from almost every quarter of the
globe are attending. England, Scot
land, Ireland. South America, Cuba
Australia. Canada, and Mexico, as well
as the United States, contributed to

pointed since the convention. The
gathering will adjourn Aug. 10.
Some Revolutions Unknown
Historians say that some of the
most vital revolutions have taken
place without the people of the time
realizing the change" said President
/ Ravens THE revolution to which
refer is the turning of the wheel
against the old idea that business is
business, and that man could be a
good citizen, yet trick and cheat in
his business dealings. They said they
had to do it for business reasons. Of
course every evil has its excuse But
/ Rotary has proved that the Golden
| Rule is a sound business rule.

modern life are the opportunities to

Rule of Gold. so frequent. so constant,
as in business. 1t is not sometimes,
not occasionally, but all the time =
every day, in dealing with associates,
employees, customers, that Rotary
ethics stand the test. Rotary proudly
maintains that business is service.
Satire on Rotary
/ The man who boasts of liberation
of public evils as an expression of Ro-
tary good will to his fellowmen. is an
absolute satire on Rotary. Rotary is
not a political body, but let it not be
said that Rotarians as individuals are
weakened citizens.
When we contemplate the dangers
of the future, owing to the neglec;
of our boys, we are brought to a re
alization of the Importance of Rotar.

the department of geology at the Uni

This factory, according to the be

was no-man's land in the days before
the squirrel rifle supplanted the bow

The other rockhouse, opening wide

STATE RESERVE FUND
FOR INSURANCE, PLAN
OF OHIO OFFICIALS.
CBy United Press)

COLUMBUS, Aug. THE next gen.
eral assembly, will be asked to author
ize a state fund, to be added to from
year to year, as an insurance reserve
fund covering state buildings 50 that
buildings destroyed by fire or other
wise can be rebuilt without prolonged
delay, officials predicted here today
From the standpoint of economy,
state officials generally do not be
lieve it would be good business to In
sure state buildings in private COM
panies. Premiums would amount TO
such a large sum annually that it is
better business "for the state to carry
it's own risk"
This has been the states policy for
years. Chief objection TO it is that
when there is loss by fire there is no
money available for replacement, as
would be the case were the buildings
insured.
Removes Objections
Payment each year of stated
amounts, which could be regarded as
premiums, into a permanent state fund
would remove this objection" said
public works director Herrick. 1T
does not seem advisable from n finan-
cial standpoint to insure in private
concerns, but some change should be
made in present system.
State Auditor Tracy pointed out that
although there have been three serious
fires recently. over a period of years
the loss has been small.
1T would appear the state has saw
ed money by carrying its own insur-
auce risk he said.
Assistant Attorney General Eggles
ton said the question as to whether
the state could legally insure with
private companies has never been
raised.

Congressman Frear
Gets After Mellon

Washington - Congressman Frear
has returned his attack on Secretary
of the Treasury Mellon for permitting
great wealth to escape taxation.
Under the law the secretary can
levy penalty of 25 per cent where he
believes corporations hold surpluses
to evade payment OF income taxes by
individuals. These corporations are
now dividing their surpluses through
stock dividends. Congressman Frear
says upwards of $4,000, 10000 in sur
pluses are escaping penalties and in
dividual surtaxes because Secretary
Mellon refuses to enforce the law.
F.. On the floor of the house Congress
man Frear submitted a list of ques-
tions to the treasury official. "Is it
true" he asked, "that due to legal
evasions possible under existing law,
disclosed by the secret records of your
office, that Mr.. Rockefeller, Mr.. Nor
gan, Mr.. Mellon and others of great
wealth are not nayin0 One-fifth of the
income tax they are popularity sup
posed to uay under the law based on
their wealth, due to investments in
tax-free securities, stocA dividends,
trusts, stock and bond exchanges and
other forms of tax avoidance |
gather this is so from your official
report.
'These are matters that congress
has nermitted to remain secret for no
logical reason, apparently, and l am
hoping your answers will be specific,
so that the necessity for full publicity
can be determined by congress"

Little or no pertense is made by
these railroads to observe the federal

interstate commerce commission in
tends to make no move to compel OBJ
servance of the law.
"a fair example of the a..ltude of

IT'S THE GAME
COAL TRUST ROBS THE RAIL
ROAD COMPANIES
Fuel Bill Increased Forty Per Cent
in Augustine Complaint Be-
cause the "Insiders' Benefited

The New York Times is authority
for the statement that the Coal Trust
increased the price of coal to the rail-
roads 40 per cent in August, 1922.
THAT MEANT AN ..lCREASE
OF SIT 100000 IN THE FUEL BILLS
OF THE ROA.S FOR THAT ONE
MONTH. At that rate more than
$20O,000,0OO would be taken from the
railroads by the coal combine in the
form of excess profits in one year.
The Times states that last spring
before the coal strike the roads were
paying an average of $3.46 ~er ton.
AS soon as the coal mine owners
locked out their employees on Anril /,
they began putting the screws to the
users Of coal. including the railroads,
and by the first of August the roads
were paying an average of $4.87 per
ton, an increase of $1.41, or about 40
per cent. There had been no increase
in labor costs or in any of the other
items which go to make up the cost
of producing a ton of coal. The Coal
Trust controlled the nations fuel sup
ply and proceeded to make the con-
SumerS pay.
SO Tar as the records show, the rail-
roads did not 0"otest. They were en-
gagged at the time in conducting an
extensive propaganda in favor of
slashing the waoes of railroad work.
ers, and they were telling the Rail-
road Labor Board and the shippers
that the on'-- way the American peo-
pie could secure reduction in freight
and passenger rates was to lower the
employees standard of living.
The had nothing to say about the
hold-up by the Coal Trust.
The reason they acquiesced in the
extortion is easy to find. THE IN
TERESTS THAT CONTROL THE
RAILROADS CONTROL THE COAL
MINES WHICH SUPPLY THE
RAILROADS WITH FUEL.
Therefore, when the railroads are
robbed by the Coal Trust the Sin
siders" on the railroads pocket in
creased profits.
But when the railroads pay their
workers a living wage the "insiders"
do not benefit.
ror the same reason the railroads
uncomplainingly submit to the ex-
tortionate prices charged by the Steel
Trust, the equipment combine, and all
the other trusts and combines which
fatten off the railroads treasures.
