TOPETE FREES CHURCHES OF
SONORA STATE

| Nogales, Son.. Mex, Mar. A.
Formally declaring the state OF
Sonora in rebellion against the
administration of President Por.
tes Gil, and placing the blame
! for the revolutionary movement
directly on the shoulders of Plu
tarco Elias Gales, former pre-.
sident of Mexico. Gov. Fausto
Topete today issued the follow.
ing manifesto:
Il declare to the. people of So
nora that if we have decided to
take up arms against q govern
ment which acts illegally and
mocks in contemptuous form all
of the sacred principles which
at the cost of great sacrifices the
revolution formerly conquered,
citizens and society in general
must have confidence in this
movement. The actual order Of
happenings will not be private
interests and business will have
full guarantees that all disorders
will be put down with q firm
band and our acts shall be those
followed by government we'll
organized, which will guard all
activities according to law.
The present conditions are
due to the machiavelian inter.
ference of the clown, Plntarco
Elias Gales. in the present ad.
ministration. The officials of
this administration are nothing
but creatures of this man and
these conditions cannot and must
not exist. I invite the citizens
who aspire to create q country
corresponding to the hope OF the
first revolution, to join this move
ment, which will! be of short
duration and sure results.
The exiled statesman cf all
creeds not having any pending
cases with the court for acts OF
the common order. will have
open doors in Sonora for, as
Mexicans,> they cannot be de.
prived of the sacred right of
protection of our laws.
Until the government arising
from this revolution is definitely
established in Mexico City, I
consider that the religious pro-
blem can be definitely settled by
organized action esta blishing the
liberty of conscious and religi
Gus, which is to say, non.inter.
ference by the state in religious
matters, respecting all beliefs.
III is therefore made known
to all ministers of all religion
that churches are free from
political matters from our gov.
ernment which will be an excln.
sive civil one. Let me hope that
the people of Sonora and the
rest of the republic will join this
| movement with patriotic enthu.
siasm as on former occasions
and not allow q failure before
the traitors. Save the revolu.
tion. it is the government of the
people and the people them.

STATE INSPECTOR
CHECKING UP ON
TOURISTS CAMPS

+. I. Rugg, inspector of the state
housing and planning commission, is
!! here planning to construct rigid
investigation of conditions in al,
auto camps located in Imperia!
county and outside of incorporated
city limits, in compliance with the
new state law regulating such
camps.
In preliminary survey, Rugg has
found that many of the auto camps
are iii excellent condition and meet
all requirements of the new state
law which was passed by the recent
legislature. Others, he said, are net
so good, and fail to comply with the
new standards of construction and
maintenance.
The California law, one of the
first enacted in the United States
| to place auto camps outside of cities
under state supervision, requires
that application be made for a state
building permit before any construc-
tlon is undertaken in camps 50 To-
Gated.

the new camp law may be obtained
either from the office of County
| Health Officer DR.. c. S. Brooks, In
spector Frank Redding, or from the
housing commission, State building,
San francisco.
According to Rugg, it is csti-
| msted that there are 2O00 auto
camps in this state, of which APP
proximately 90 per cent are located
outside Of cities, and which will be
governed according to the provi-
slons of the. new law.
>llie auto camp statute, which be-
came reflective August IA, is sweep
ing in its scope, governing the lo,a-
| tion, water supply, cleanliness ana
N.ustc disposal of all such establish
ments.
1t provides that all camps muyt
be located near II plentiful supply
of pure water, and on well drained
&, ound to avoid the menace OF
ma laria breeding areas. 1t further
prohibits the use of sleeping quar-
rcrs for cooking purposes, and resI-
ates the minimum size of sleeping
and cooking rooms.
Among other regulations IN the

and lavatory facilities, sewage and
garbage disposal, laundry facilities
and cleanliness of premises.

effect that every child is entitled to

where home conditions meet stand
