FOR U.S.AND MEXICO
Gales Says Countries Are
Walking Path of Cordial
Understanding.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, September 2.-The
United States and Mexico are walking
the path of cordial and sincere un-
derstanding, and it is the intention
OF Mexico TO use her utmost endeav.
ors to augment this friendship.
This statement was made last night
by President Gales in his address to
the members of Congress at the open
ing of the new session. Gen Gales
also declared that the present pros
poets were that Mexico would resume
the payment of her foreign debtors
within the shortest possible period
consistent with certain unavoidable
national needs. which must be fulfilled
first"
The President said the situation of
tension which grew out of the state
ment issued by Secretary of State
kellogg in Washington last June, de-
clartng that the United States could
not countenance violation by Mexico
OF her international obligations or
failure to protect American citizens
mad been cleared up in a friendly
manner.
In his address the President urged
ieSlSlatlon to restrict permits to for
eISners and foreign corporations to
own land, water rights and subsoil
rShts-mining property and oil lands
until article 27 of the constitution,
dealing with such lands, is fully in
tcrpreted. This recommendation was
maze, ne said, to avoid possible fric-
tIon with foreign governments.

Points Best Way Out Of
Minnesota Highway Maze
Commissioner Babcock Discusses Sub.
jects Most Talked About Now in
All Parts of Minnesota

Reduction of present motor vehicle
taxes may force auto and truck own
ers to pay nearly twice the amounts
they are paying now.
This warning was recently given in
Twin City newspapers by E. T. Win
ship, Owatonna, pioneer good roads
champion, president of the state. auto
mobile association, Holstein breeders
and other state organizations.
Mr.. Winship cites the provision of
the constitution exempting motor We
hicles from personal property taxes
as long as the state tax is "more
onerous' or heavier tax. The auto
tax is below that figure now, he
stated, and even with 2-cent gas
tax cut in the $12 minimum or rate
would open the way for any non-car-
owner or other general taxpayer to
compel assessors to put motor vehicles
back on the personal property tax
lists.
Mr.. Winship maintains that car
owners will lose rather than gain by
any possible reduction of motor We
hicle taxes which will halt the state
good roads program.
-"
Minnesota people want good
roads," declared Charles M. Babcock,
state highway commissioner. s'They
begin to see what the good roads pro-
gram will mean when completed.
They do not want it brought to a
dead standstill by matter of county
bond bookkeeping. And more than in
ia few dollars off the average car tax,
they are interested, in carrying on
the good roads work throughout Min
riesota :"
Good roads needs and auto and gas
taxation centering discussion in all
parts of the state as well as in leg
islative halls at the capitol, Mr.. Bah
cock this week supplemented the
views of the highway department on
those subjects. His comment on the
proposals to enable the state to go
on are as follows:
Retention of the present motor
vehicle tax rate and SIP minimum
without change.
A minimum average of $18 tax on
motor vehicles was agreed to. But it
has been below that figure under the
new plan and last year the net figure
was about SIS. so. The old personal
property tax average was nearly $19.
The auto tax average for all states
is $40. 30. The present tax is not
burden on owners of high priced cars.
The owner of a light car who cannot
afford to pay 81 month toward bet
ter roads on which to ride, in lieu Of
all taxes on his car, may practice most
effective economy by disposing of his
machine and then the highway pro-
gram will take nothing from him.

Minnesota Farm Bureaus
Tax Study Is Progressing
Investigations Made in Several Coun
ties; Recommendations Summar-
lied at State Headquarters

The Minnesota Farm Bureau feels
that it started movement of untold
value, not only to the farmers, but
to all taxpayers, when it submitted a
comprehensive plan for the study OF
tax problems to it's county and town
ship units a few months ago.
In many of the counties the work
was entered into promptly and intel
ligently, with the result that some
highly enlightening and interesting
reports have been formulated by the
tax committees of those counties. AS
result of their study of all aspects
of local taxation these committees, as
rule, make practical recommends
lions for improvement in methods OF
assessment and regarding the incur
ring of public obligations which make
taxes.
These recommendations are being
summarized at state farm bureau
headquarters and it will be of in
terest to note that some of the prin.
cipal ones are about as follows:
1. That all county officials be
placed on a strictly salary basis.
2. That all fees be paid into the
general revenue fund.
8. That in every township a sum.
mary tax statement for the previous
year be prepared in detail for the
March election of township officers
and that the same procedure be had
on school district taxes at annual
school meeting.
4. That building and improve
ments planned be postponed until al
least one-half of the money needed
for such purpose is available. lex
ceptions to be made in emergency
cases, such as replacing public build.
ings destroyed by fire or tornado.)
5. That governing boards before
finally submitting to the voters OF
their tax district the raising of funds
for new buildings, be required to
submit an estimate showing as near
ly as possible the amount of addition
al taxes each property holder in the
district would have to pay.
6. That full publicity of property
valuations given the assessor be had
in the community where it is assessed.
7. That where there is duplication
in the work of certain offices the
offices be combined and increa led
work be taken care of by clerks.
