of private ownership from it's in
ception, and also with the portions
of the text relative to petroleum
which Immediately follow It as in
tegral parts of the same article 27
of the constitution.
From all this, it is inferred that,
in consonance with the rules uni
versally accepted for the interpreta-
ton of laws and those imposed by
sound logic, it must be he'd that
paragraph ~ of article 81 of our
present constitution is not retroactive
inasmuch as it does not damage for
mer rights legitimately acquired. This
precept establishes the naturalization
of petroleum and it's by-products as
well as of the other substances to
which it refers, amplifying the enum-
GRAFTON that existed to which it re-
fers, amplifying the enumeration that
existed in Sour former mining laws,
but respecting the rights legitimate
ly acquired prior to May l, 1917, the
date on which the present constitu-
ton went into effect in its entirety
Considering, third: In view of all
that has been before expressed and in
strict compliance with the provisions
of section 1 of article 107 of the con-
stitution it is opportune to determine
now whether in the concrete case on
which this amparo is based, vested
rights have been injured by violating
the individual guarantees which the
complainants invoke.
I'm our republic there have been in
effect in successive periods the min
ing code of 1884, the mining law of
June A, 1892, and that of November
rs, 1909, which latter in its second
article granted the owner of the lands
the right to explore and exploit oil
freely in order to appripriate the oil
he might find without the necessity
of a permit from any authority, and
also enabled him to transmit the said
rights as he would any other proper
ty either for consideration or graft
uitously."
In pursuance of this binding con-
struction by the supreme court of

CORRESPONDENCE. BETWEEN US.
AND MEXICO AS TO LAND LAWS

The supreme court of Mexico IN an
amparo case decided August 80, 1921,
uneuuivocally held paragraph " Of
article 81 of the constitution of 1917
not to be retroactive in cases where
rights had been legitimately acquired
prior to May 1, 1917, the date on
which the constitution went into eff
feet. The same principle was an
nounced in four other amparo cases
establishing under the law of Mexi-
co, a precendent not to be broken
The pertinent portion of this de-
cision is:
"These premises being established
it must be ascertained whether para
graph " of article 27 of the present
constitution, which mentions among
other substances, petroleum and all
sclid, liquid or gaseous hydro car
donates, is or is not retroactive. 1t
is absolutely necessary to define the
meaning of paragraph w because, if
it is retroactive, the DEGREES COM
planned of, which are based on this
article, should also be applied retro-
actively, notwithstanding article IA
of the constitutional text, ami, be-
nary legislator, fall within the scope
of said article ii of the most recent
supreme law.
Paragraph " of article 27 of the
present constitution cannot be deem
ed retroactive either in letter or in
spirit inasmuch as it does not damage
acquires rights.
"Ry the letter thereof becluse it
does not contain an express man
date to the effect that it shall b..
retroactive, nor does the wording
thereof necessarily convey this idea;
nor by it's spirit as it is in copso~
nance wit hthe other articles of the
same constitution, which recognize in
general the ancient principles upon
which rest the rights of man and
which grant ample guarantees to such
rights, and because, holding it TO be
nop- retroactive, it also proves to be
in harmony with the principles ex-
pressed in the paragraphs which i'm

HIGHLY TOUTHD.

No player in years has come to the
majors more highly touted than Pitch
er owen Carroll, Holy Cross star.
When he joined the Detroit Tigers
at Boston in June of last season ii
was an event extraordinary. New
England folks flocked to the ball yard
to see the young man in action.
AS college pitcher, over four
years, of play, Carroll had won some
thing like so games and lost only
two.
A big sensation in "Rah, Rah''
circles, the supposition was that Car
roll would stand the big league bat
tera on their heads just as he did
the collegians.
1t so happened that I umpired the
debut of Carroll as member of the
Detroit team in his so-called home
town of Boston, also his first appear
ance at Detroit.
"They were flops," as they say in
theatrical circles when an act fails
to go over, as Carroll did not finish
either game.

BIC HANDICAP.

While Carroll failed to go the route
in his first two starts l ventured the
prediction that he was great look
ing pitching prospect.
In a sense, CarroIfs failure to get
away to a good start in the majors
last season might well be attributed
to a. matter of finance.
Feeling that Carroll should have a
year of minor league experience, Man
ager Cobb consented to let him make
his debut in Boston, a few days after
he joined the club, rather than nurse
him along for a number of weeks as
is customary with recruit pitchers.
1t was asking too much of Car
roll to come through under the cir
cumstances but, at that, he pitched as
we'll as his team played behind him.
The Tigers, anxious to help put the
youngster over in Boston, didn't play
up to standard.
About a week later he made his
Detroit debut and it was no more
auspicious.
However, both games were played
to standing room only, so that Carroll
soon brought back at the gate much
of the money that had been paid out
for him.

he attempted to keep from being

Shall We Split Up Washington?

Can the National Capital in the throes Of one Of the
stages of civic growth in its history find relief from
congestion and other growing pains in system OF de-
Capitalization?
Many of the larger American cities turning to de-
Capitalization for municipal ills AS result they
becoming coordnated groups of virtually sesustainng
communities rather than single cities surrounded by residential
suburbs.
The movement toward decentralization though yet well
defined becoming increasingly apparent in Washington
the plan carried its logical conclusion the present
downtown will be confined to its present limits and sub
ordinate downtown centers will be established in the
burban centers Of population.
Advocates of decentralization claim that their plan would
lessen Washngtons traffic congestion greatly enhance the
beauty Of the city, and increase the health and happiness of
the population whole.
This PLAN it claimed would do away with further spread
Of the house and would do much stop the putchey of
wooded being opened for subdivisions. With the
house problem out Of the way is commended the whole
sale destruction of forests and the leveng off of hills and
filling in of the little valleys which make the rolling country
around Washington attractive could be halted.
Under the decentralization pan experience in other cities
has demonstrated necessary concentrate residential
sections closely around the city is possible to allow
space for detached homes place Of the houses De-
tached homes unlike houses be constructed the
natural contours Of the land without the necessity OF costly
grading Many Of the original be preserved and
the finished homes sold for little than the houses
as a result Of savings i'm the preparation expenses
Such spreading out Of the population naturally would
force homeowners farther away from the center Of the city
For their convenience however auxiliary business centers
would be established with community stores theaters
business ces To these centes much of the present down
town traffic could be diverted Housewives in the suburban
sections could maintain their homes without the necessity of
long trips into the downtown section it is claimed.
OF course the whose place Of business is in the city
and who would be forced farther away home must
be considered This problem being met in other cities with
high speed bouevards and rapid traction service Park boue
wards with few side Intersections permit safe handling Of
great volume of high speed automobile traffic Such bouevards
could readily provided Washington by carrying out of
plans already made by the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission.
Any such scheme however be successful would have to be
the result of the most careful planning The growth Of any
city too intricate matter to be permitted proceed hap
hazardy the apparent tendency in Washington toward
decentralization is to continue should continue only upon
scientific basis This subject which the city planners
may well devote their close attention.
