ROBINSON
P PROGRAM
MODIFIED
Expresses Senate Wish
For Arbitration OF
Mexican Question.
OIL LAW RANKLES
Requires Alien Property
Owners to RenOunce
Their Governments.

WASHINGTON, Jam. 21.-Bv a
vote Of Is to 3 the Foreign Rcla-
tions committee decided to report
TO the senate modification of the
Robinson resolution expressing tine
opinion that the administration
should accept arbitration of its dis
pntes with Mexico over oil lands.
Chairman Borah Of the commit.
tee announced the new arbitration
resolution would be brought before
the senate Monday and its adoption
sought.
As revised, the resolution merely
would express the sense of the SEN
ate for arbitration and suggest the
means by which it might be accom-
pished.
The overwhelming vote for the
resolution in the committee fore
east favorable action upon it in the
SENATE.
The substance Of the original
resolution is retaincd.' said Sena-
tor Robinson, Democratic floor lead
or, and author of the suggestion.
AS it is drawn, ii will provide
amply for the protection Of Amcri-
can citizens. It also suggests ar
rangemcnt for carving out the pro
posal. =
Only Senators Mclean, Rcpub-
lican, Connecticut; Edge, Republi-
can, New Jersey, and Reed, Demo
crat, Missouri voted against the
resolution in the committee.
Borah Comments
Senator Borah ISSUED the follow
ing statements:
u think the resolution fully OK
presses our desire to settle the mat
ter by arbitration. 1t therefore,
meets with my hearty approval. |
have been an advocate of arbitra-
tion in this matter from the very
beginning. The only thing involved
is property. If we cant arbitratc
that question there is no use TO
talk longer about arbitration. =
The alleged confiscatory land law,
companion TO the protested petro-
leum law. does not permit disposscs-
sion of aliens until death in case
of individuals or for 10 years for
corporations. But this government
maintains mere existence of the law
is prcjudicial to American proper
ties.
Other provisions of the law pro-
hibit aliens acquiring land or stock
in corporations owning land within
60 miles of frontiers and so miles
of coasts, or from holding major
ity control in agricultural compan-
les. Another provision contested by
the state department requires alien
prOpcrtv holders to rcnoucc the
protection of their own government
in connection with such Mexican
holdings.
Arbitration advocates urge that
the dispute over this law as well
as the similar argument over the
petroleum statute, be adjusted eth
or through definite arbitration or
mediation or adjudication. The A.
b. c. powers of South America,
(Argeatinc, Brazil and Chile,) ar"
discussed in connection with mcdi-
alton, while the present United
States Mexican general laws claims
commission would probably handle
tho claims cases if adjudication
were agreed to.

REVENUE DISTRICT CUT.

Nineteen counties are now includ-
ed in the district of which F. J. Nenno,
deputy collector of internal revenue,
who has his headquarters in Mankato,
is in chrage. The area of the dis
trict has been reduced to omit three
counties, according to notice receiv-
ed by Mr.. Memo from A. R. Knox,
assistant at St. Paul. There were
formerly eight men in twenty-five
southern Minnesota counties, but Mr..
Memo is now alone in nineteen. A
reduction of the income tax collection
staff has gradually been taking place
as various portions of the tax have
