Both reports were quick ly denied: but the former loan later was carried out with the approval Of the state department.
 The public debt Of Nicaragua is growing swiftly: this because civil wars cost money. So far interest charges and sinking fund accounts have been met. but the principal steadily increases. The total indebt- edncss today is estimated at between sl2, ,0oo.O 900 and $l5,0o0. .0oO; in 1926 the debt was lces than t7.ono. .o00.
 These sums would not startle the United States; but in Nicaragua they look like mountains

MEXICANS IN THE L. $.

Representative Box Of Texas has created a deal of excitement in the southwest. He has had q bill before Congress 70 put Mexican immigra- ton on the quota hasis--a quota O. l.5oo a year.
 Los Angeles and Southern Cali ,ornia is opposed; so are 8 few other cities down that way. The Mexican population of the southwest border cities is already astonishing The standard Of living of tho peons, most of whom are Indians. who crowd across the border is far be- lo~ the American standard: hordes 0. them are content 10 live in shacks and rely upon charity for sus'enance it all other means fall.
 An investigator has discovered l why so many of the peons head for Los Angeles. That city is noted for it's charitable impulses To the pcon 5 everything in Los Angeles IS entirely free of charge. It'e q great life 10 tho peons. com pared with the treatment recorded In Mexico.
 The Mexican government wants tho loons to stey in Mexico. Most o. the United States is of the same opinion. The Box bill ought 10 be passed.

BUSES AND THE LAW

Indepenten. bus lines arc subject 70 the same rules that confront the Cornecticu, company buses. Because a line Is operated by a so-called tn- dspenden. doe. not imply greater privilege.
 There is the matter Of stopping for paMengers in the outskirts. for in- stance. Since when does the law permit buses to come 10 halt in the middle ot The driveway? They are supposed to move as close as possible to the sidewalk for this purpose, Complaints are heard con- tinually that they do no, do go.
 Then there is the practice Of stop ping while going around a corner, blocking both croesways; and often, when such stopping IS done in the middle 0. the street, blocking the road for other tire travel as well.
 r. Is hard to understand why drivers get SO careless.

duck" amendment to the Constttu- ton, which would change the date 0. inaugurating the president os the Tinted states and would eliminate the short session Of Congress. The amendment would make 1t tnpos- sihle, after an election, to have session Of Congress containing numerous irresponsible congress men who ver. defeated 8, the polls for reelection.
 But each time, when the amend ment came up in the House, it was pigeon holed. The other day tho House went a little further, con sidered" the amendment, and voted l. down. The amendment therefore, will not go to the states for approval or rejection.
 This is an amendment 10 which few people object and 1t probably would be approved by the states if it ever got out of Congress. But the objec- lion 10 the amendment Hes in the House c. Representatives, and there only. The reason for the opposition there Is not hard 10 find; it is purely one 0. politics. Speaker Longworth and the gentlemen he heads arc opposed 10 the amendment for po- litical reasons.
 The Senate favored the amend rnent particularly because # contain ed provision for two long sessions. |. would have ended many 0: the senate's troubles, which consists Of unlimited debating privileges by un- limited debaters, but within q limited time, The tam Of public business near the end Of each Sen a'e session ts notorious, and tlibus- ters frequently prevent needed pub lie bills from being passed. The Norris amendment would have done away with these end-session jams and tilibustering. which would have been a. notable gain for the country.
 The good points about the Norris amendment, however, which appeal nd 10 SO large a proportion Of the public and 70 60 many publicis's again are swallow d up in the un- deviating opposition 0, House pol!- ,cians 10 reform. 1T may be that the Senate will continue passing such an amendment until the House finally in desperation agrees: but such ac- ton O. necessity will be too far in the future for present consideration. It ls a distinct loss 10 the country that the amendment. which con- s.itutes genuinely constructive effort 10 improve the efficiency Of tho government. Is di'ched by the men who prefer politics,
