MEXICO HALTS
STATE TAXES ON
AMERICANS OIL
Checks Radical Tendency in
Vera Cruz, Which Alarmed
U. S. Citizens.
by International News Service.

An important decision bearing
upon the interests of American oil
companies in Mexico has Just been
rendered by Secretary Of Industry
Commerce, and Labor Robles in the
Cabinet OF President Obregon, ac.
day.
The ruling held that only the Fed.
eral Government can fix oil taxes,
and rebuked the authorities Of the
State of Vera Cruz for attempting
to impose a state tax on petroleum
produced in that state.
The very fact that the Federal
Government had imposed no new
tax, Secretary RObleS declared. is
proof that additional taxation at his
time is inoppOrtune, when the oil
industry is tending toward new de.
vclopmcnts.
American oil men and Americans
connected with other large indus.
tries in Mexico have been greatly
alarmed by the action of the State
of Vera Cruz in holding that it had
the right to tax oil. Since the state
had shown a tendency toward radical
activity against all capital, it was
feared the 2 per cent tax on the
value of all oil production would he
but a stepping stone to n policy OF
general ConfsCation.
The action OF the Mexican fedora
government, however, indicates. oil
men say, that Presidtnt Obregor
apparently is going to keep a firm
hand on state legislatures. at least
so far as oil taxation is concerned.
As far back as 1887, It is stated
the right to tax both oil and Goa
production was made by the law an
exclusively federal prerogative, and
President Obregon Is believed to ne
entirely within his constitutional
rights in checking the Vera Cruz
legislature. Other recent radical
legislation by the State OF Vera Cruz
most II II aimed at capital. is now
before the supreme court awaitinl
decision as to its validity.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The last two
apparently diverging tendencies in
the bond market, namely, an active
and strong demand for all new bond
issues that were introduced to the
market by the underwriting syndi.
Gates, and a moderate reaction in
prices in the second rate Of specula-
tive bonds. Foreign government
bonds were also somewhat reaction

considerable quantity of these bonds
We're purchased for the account of
foreign investors and actually
shipped to their new owners. AS
for the new issues, investment bank
ers reported that in practically
every instance they received, in ad-
vance OF the formal opening of their
subscription books, orders sufficient
to absorb more bonds than they had
to offer.
During the past decade the Amer.
lean investment market has to a
large extent performed the task
heretofore assumed by the London
market in furnishing capital supplies
for worldwide enterprises. The
work is still in progress, and in the
first part Of 1922 no less than $63l, :
1860 cf bonds of foreign govern.
ments, municipalities and corpora
tions were flOated in America.
Serious consideration must now be
given to the development of our in.

tional lines. and in this important
work the bankers who are meeting
at extreme points Of the CCntinen!
will be giving their attention.

according to the records of Journal
