transportation to and from the
Apache meeting. The candidates

IMMIGRATION
LAW IN FORCE.

The immigration law of Mexico re-
quiring all persons who enter Mexico
with the intention of residing there.
to pay immigration fees of 22 pesos,
iHHkame effective in Aqua Prieta on
bcr d. Telcgraphic instructions
prfIlhg the new ruling were re-
BY Antonio Gabilondo, chief inn
Alton officer at Aqua Prieta, from
Mexican immigration department at
Mexico City Monday night.
The new law does not affect tourists
and visitors and does not apply to per
sons under 16 years of age. The law
places the limit at which foreigners
may enter the country as tourists and
visitors at six months. The following
statement was issued by Gabilondo
Tuesday:
"From the fourth of this month all
foreigners who enter Mexico with the
intention of residing there will have to
pay 20 pesos immigration fees, with an
additional 10 per cent for stamps, MAX
ing a total of % pesos. This amount
is required only for persons 16 years
of age and over. Persons who go in as
tourists or visitors do not have to pay
a cent These touris,s and visitors may
remain in the country six months, ac-
cording to the new immigration law
The Mexican immigration law is
quite similar to the present UnlteC
States immigration law, which requires
immigrants from Mexico to this coun-
try to pay ten dollars for a visa AMI
eight dollars head tax. The United
States law permits tourists and Wis
itors to enter for six months without
payment Of the visa charges or heat
tax.
I The new law also requires persons
intending to immigrate to Mexico tC
/ live to secure papers from the Mexican
consul at some port of entry before the
payment of the immigration fees. Juar
Marshall, Mexican consul at Douglas
has secured the necessary forms fol
persons to immigrate to Mexico.
The new law makes no change in th'
regulations concerning border identifi
cation cards, except that new cards
will not be required each year as here
