Pres. Rubio Faces Economic
Crisis

President Ortiz Rubio Of the republic Of Mexico Is
not an ultra-radical. II is a student ard a thinker.
He is the author Of a measure now pending In the
Mexican congress. designed TO amend the agrarlan
laws so as to remove many Of the features which have
undermined confidence Of land owners and hence
have crippled production"
Now the Rubio amendment to the Law would ex-
clude from its provisions those sugar, fruit, DAIRY
vegetable and cattle plantations and farms where
milling or packing is done on the ground. Under
the present agrarian laws land owners hesitate to in
vest heavily in crops due to the possibility that their
land will be taken away from them ana the crops
distributed to the peasants.
Another amendment proposed by Rubio would re-
ject demands OF villages for enlargement for COM
munal land unless the money 70 pay the land owners
was actually on land before the land was taken over.
At present the land is seized and the owners are paid
in agrarian bonds which are worth about IS per cent
Of their face value-a confscatory proceeding that
falls little short Of highway robbery. Another Rubio
amendment would give the haciendas the right TO en-
ploy large numbers Of poems without the obligation
of giving them land. II has been the practice hereto
fore for poems to form a village on the hacienda and
to demand and receive communal lands at the ey-
pease Of the hacienda owners. The Rubio measure
follows the presidents message to the Mexican con-
gress that the government considers II necessary TO
give adequate guarantee TO capital to save Mexico
from an economic crisis.
According to the Laredo Times the repatriation
movement Of Mexican farmers and other Mexican ma
tionaIs from various parts Of the United States back
to Mexico through the port Of Laredo during Septeni-
Der and October exceeded 5000 persons. These fig
ures are official as they were made public by the
Mexican department Of immigration OF Nuevo La
redo. The Times furnishes the information that the
hiatus OF the Mexican national continues fun force
during November and 1t predicts that the total mum
Der of repatriates for the month will be close to 5000.
Mexican nationals with their families, many Of their
children born during their residence in the United
States. return to Mexico mostly in trucks carrying
their families. agricultural implements and other per-
sonal belongings with them. Most Of the nationals
are said to be well equipped financially as q result Of

He re- ports no snow in the states that he passed through, and that the beet tops in Kansas and Colorado were still green.

 FULL BAGS FOR LOCAL MEN

The open season on deer closed November 15, after a period of hunting since August 15. and has been a successful season for Wran- gell hunters, according to reports brought to Wrangell.

Snow and cold weather have started them on their way south, however and a number of wedges have been seen flying over WrangeIl this week.

Protection for Brown Bear is Again Asked
NOBLE SPORTING ANIMAL" SAYS ASSOCIATION OF WEST ERIN GAME AND FISH MEN

Greater protection for the brown bear, including the establishment of partial sanctuaries on the Alaska Peninsula, is demanded by the As sociation of Western State Game and Fish Commissioners in a meeting held in September in New Mexico. A resolution on that subject has re- gently been received by Gov. George A. Parks.
 The association is opposed to the use of predatory animal hunters for killing bear except when that ami nal has become a habitual stock killer.
 The resolution was introduced by Ronald P. Garvin of Denver and was passed unanimously. It fol- lows:
 Whereas the bear is a noble sporting animal and deserving of protection in all except compara- lively few cases in which he be- comes a habitual stock-killen, Now therefore,
 Be It Resolved, That the West ern Association of State Game and Fish Commissioners U. . does hereby urge greater protection for the bear and condemn it's killing by preda- tory animal hunters except as a remedy in extreme cases, and
 Be It Further Resolved, That the Association does hereby urge the government to seriously consider a plan whereby certain parts of the Alaska Peninsula shall be set aside as sanctuaries (with limited killing only) for the most magnificent of North American animals, the brown bear of Alaska"
