T. R. TAYLOR, Observer. FEDERALS MOVE STATE CAPITAL (Continued from Page 1). NOTICE! Tax Payers In accordance with an amendment to the City Char ter by the last Legislator, all unpaid taxes on Decem ber 1st are delinquent , As Cty Tax Collector it falls to my lot to see that this law ii enforced. I am under heavy bond for the faithful performance of my duty, and my duty is to collect the taxes accord ing to law, ... It will therefore be necessary for you to settle your taxes in full within the next few days. . Respectfully, C.H.BARTLETT City Tax Collector. sent more troops to attempt to inter' cept them. The generals, led by General Salva dore Mercado, whose desertion of Chihuahua and whose statements that ha had no money to pay his troops are regarded as a virtual breakdown of the dictatorship of Provisional President Huerta so far as the north of Mexico Is concerned, are neaded for OJlnaga, on the border. It thought they will cross the Rio Grande river to Presidio. Will Bo Arrested. At Presidio they are expected to be arrested by the United States military authorities, taken to Marfa and thence to San Antonio. Their arrest on cross Ing the river would follow as a mat ter of course under a ruling of Secre tary of War Garrison. With the generals are many subor dlnate officers, about 2000 federal reg ular soldiers and more than 1000 per sons of the wealthier class of Chlhua hua who took to flight rather than face an attack by the rebels. General Pascual Orosco and Gen eral Jose Tnes Salasar, believed to be with General Mercado, are under In dictment returned In the federal court in El Paso, Tex., for violation of the neutrality law. General Balaxar Is out on bond but General Oroxco never was arrested. . General Villa had little hope that his soldiers would be able to overtake the federals, who had left Chihuahua several days be fore the fact of their flight became known. That General Mercado, after hand ing the portfolio of state to Frederlco Moye, civil governor ad interim, should on behalf of himself and sub ordinates offer to surrender and then fly to the border, was regarded by General Villa as an unusual pro ceeding. SAYS U. S. CAN CHECK PAINCS (Continued from page 1) of. credits so vital to the prosperity of our great and growing country." Or the new tariff act Secretary Mc- Adoo says It has not been In force a sufficient length of time to make pos sible an accurate estimate of its ulti mate revenue-producing powers. He asks congress to Impose a nominal tax of one per cent proof gallon on all alcohol withdrawn for denaturation and legislation requiring every dealer In leaf tobacoo to make an Inventory of stock January 1 of each year and make a report of his transactions quarterly or monthly, and that every dealer be required to give bond. The present oleomargarine law la declared to be unsatisfactory and the government Is said to lose more taxes from Illicit practices In oleomargarine than through moonshine stills. The difference in the tax on colored and uncolored "oleo" Is held responsible for the loss and congress Is asked to Impose a flat nominal tax without any difference for color with provision for individual stamped or original pack ages of certain sizes adequately marked and safeguarded. The law governing the sale of adulterated butter Is de clared to have brought about unfor tunate conditions through the diffi culty of Its Just enforcement The question is to be taken up by the International conference on Safety at Sea now In session In London. Speaking of scientific research by the the Public Health service the re port says: , "On account of the announcements of discoveries of alleged cures for tu berculosis and their bearing on public health, Important Investigations of them have been undertaken. Studies of the Krlendmann treatment were sufficiently advanced by May 18, 1913, to justify a report that the observa tions made up to that time did not warrant the confidence in the remedy which had been Inspired by wide spread publicity. This investigation Is being continued, as are also studies of other preparations claimed as cures. Secretary McAdoo estimates that the estimates for the fiscal year ex elusive of postofflce receipts will be $728,000,000, only $8,000,000 less than the estimates for the fiscal year 1914 To make that total he expects the customs to bring In $249,000,000; or dinary internal revenue, $316,000,000; and the income tax $106,000,000, of which $40,000,000' Is to come from corporations, the remainder from In dlvlduals. From sales of public lands he expects to convey Into the treas ury $3,000,000, and from mlscellane ous sources $56,000,000. He expresses the belief that the or dinary receipts for 1915 will .exceed the disbursements sufficiently to pay out about $28,000,000 from the treas ury's general fund for the Panama canal. m of nearly all dealers s.wW M for 85 ce fj:. j$a sent by the boxof I 1 Turn ' jiousn mr st lem oi Don't sees. ,gulat( lur, ui 0d the kcess twenty packages a hundred sticks a hundred hours of joy is a gift they'll keep on enjoying long alter oiner gins are pur aside.
