BUSINESS MEN
OF MEXICO ARE
SHOWING GLOOM
(By Dispatch A. P. wire)


MEXICO CITY, Aug. 25.-The bust
ness of Mexico with undisguised gloon
are settling down with whatever phil
osophy and resignation they can mus
ter to what seems to be an indefinite
continuance of the stalemate in the re-
ligious situation.
There is still hope that. somehow a
solution may be found, but so far as
tangible facts are concerned, nothing
has occurred of late to substantiate
that hope.
If anythings the government and
episcopate both seem to be adopting a
somewhat stiffer attitude.
The foreign minister, Senior Stenz
conferred today with President Gales,
and it is understood he repeated to the
president his denial of the remarks at
tributed to him in a recent interview
at San Antonio. He assured the presl-
dent that his position was for the en-
forcement of the constitution and laws.
The foreign minister had been quoted
as saying that when laws or constl-
tutional provisions were against the
best interests of the country, they
should be either repealed or amended.
His quoted remarks assumed added
Importance from the government view
point, because the episcopate yesterday
issued a statement expressing satisfac-
tion over the attitude attributed to
Senior Saenz at San Antonio. Today
the foreign minister who has just
returned to the capital, declared that
his words had been misinterpreted,
'While law is law in Mexico, the
government will enforce it," he said.
Until amended by legal means, the law
must be obeyed as a whole by every
body"

WASHINGTON, .Aug. 25.--The navy
was called today by the state de
partment to protect American inter-
ests in Nicaragua, where another
revolution has developed. AS a result
orders were issued for the dispatch
of two American warships to the
Nicaraguan ports of Blue Fields and
Corinto. Selection of the vessels for
duty there was left to Rear Admiral
Latimer, in command of the special
service, squadron in Central American
waters.
Decision to send warships to Blue
Fields and Corinto was reached after
the state department received addi-

as to conditions there. The depart

NOT OFFICIAL ATTACK.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25. - Officials
here were somewhat at loss to ac-
count for the newspaper advices from
Managua telling of an attack by
American aviators on filibustering
ship flying the Mexican flag.
The only explanation available here
was that they might be private Amer
lean filters in the employ of the MIC
araguan government. Although the
navy has ordered warships to Nicara-
guam waters to protect American in
terests, gun-running by Mexicans
would not in itself warrant an attack
by navy forces on such vessels.

| county, on which the apportionment
is based, but will come out of 1926
general property tax collections. The
money will be drawn direct from the
state treasury by Auditor Mic Thomey
and applied on road work under the
county commissioners and engineer.
| Only three counties receive con-
siderably less in aid than they paid
under the 1-mill state aid tax are st.
Louis, Hennepin and Ramsey. The
tax yield in those counties last year
was nearly 100000 in excess of
their new aid aportionments, and that
difference is spread for the gain Of
~ counties whose allotments exceed
their contributions under the plan.
A dozen other counties with large
totals of taxable property will re-
ceive in aid about as much as they
pay under the plan. Taxpayers of
Duluth, Minneapolis and St. Paul
and other residents of the three
| wealthiest counties, however, seldom
complain against the scheme by which
they pay part of the good roads bills
of other counties, it is said, or it's ex-
tension under the Babcock plan and
the state gasoline tax.
The liberal attitude of the people
of the large centers toward road i'm
provement in the rural sections was
evidenced again this year by trans
fers of $4,000 aid each by Henne-
pin and Ramsey counties to Itasca to
hasten the opening of short route
between Grand Rapids and Interna-
tional Falls, and further by an addi-
tional transfer by Hennepin to Da-
kota county of $4,000 toward the
building of road to connect the new
Mendoza bridge.
Construction of u good road be-
tween Thief River Falls and The
Narrows on Red Lake will be adj
vanced by special board allotments
totaling $4,000 for the undertaking.
The special grants follow: Beltrami
county, $4,000 for the Red Lake
Narrows road, $9,146 for special
maintenance, etc., and $4,000 for

WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, March 1O-Develop-
ments in various congressional dis
tricts is bringing the question OF
patronage squarely to the attention
of the "powers that be-" Favors OF
this kind are ordinarily oils essential
to a we'll kept political machine. The
patronage system is always produc-
tive of i'll feeling but the feelings are
lessened when the favors are judic-
iously conferred.
The surveys in various dlstrlcvts
where the primaries are close at hand
indicates the need of bestowing po-
litical recognition even upon the low
ly "wardheeler. o." Hence, we find the
campaign managers of the present in
cumbents scanning appropriation bills
with an idea of finding job for ode
serving party workers" and creating
vacancies which can be filled by the
favored few. 1t is not always good
ethics but it is invariably good poll
tics.
Efforts have been made to keep the
patronage system cut to the bone &.
The Civil Service Act of 1883, which
was intended as cure for the spoil
system, has been amended at various
times but the choice political plums
nave been kept free from competitive
examinations. The Civil Service
Commission states:
"Our administrative system
now presents the anomaly of
filling certain inferior positions
by the test of merit, and chang
ing every four years the higher
positions COLLECTORS of customs,
collectors of internal revenue
postmasters, and chiefs of bur-
eaus), in which the largest ca
pacity and longest experience
are required, and thus frequent
ly subject subordinates to mex
perienced and incompetent SUI
periors, to the decentralization of
the public service. The repeal
of the four-year tenure would
not change the present method
of appointing, but would pro-
mote the retention in the public
service of faithful and efficient
officers"
However, the need for politica
rewards, particularly positions car
rying high-sounding titles, is so grea
that it is conceded no legislation will
ever wipe out this favoritisIn fea
ture.
The Federal Departments hav,
been playing hobb with proposed con
solicitations in commerce and trans
portation. The recent decision O
the Interstate Commerce Commission
against the financing plan of the Van
Sweringen interests struck a body
blow at legislation designated to fur
Their railroad consolidation. Senate
Cummins, of Iowa, had the backing
of the Administration and proposed
measures which have as their pur
pose the untangling of railroad diff
ficulties. What ever chances the leg
islation had at the first session of tn
Goth Congress, the Nickel Plate de
cision put aside temporarily.
The Department of Justice has al
so been active in hating the merge
of food companies. An organization
was formed to combine the activitie
of several strings of chain stores bu
a consent decree stopped the proceed
ings. While business interests ar
prevented from combining, the farr
organizations are not at all dis

While the principle is like that IN

CHICAGO. June 11.-Rain in the
West and Northwest affording relief
from drought tended to case down
wheat values today during the early
dealings. In Nebraska, especially, the
moisture was reported rs having i'm
proved wheat prospects over all parts
of the State where received. except
west of Hastings. Starting "a off to "A

moderate declines all around. Corn
and oats were weaker. corn opening

With harvest expected to be gen
eral in southern Kansas the first or
next week, reports were received that
some Kansas wheat is being bought
every day for last of June and 1lrst
of July delivery. On the other hand.
adviceS were also current that farmers
are not keen about Offering new crop
wheat on the basis of present BIDS
when old wheat is bringing in 20 TO

According to some trade authofltleS,

bilities for higher prices later, such
traders contended that ownership OF
wheat during the next two weeks
would he lInder a decided handicap.
