By the Associated Press. MEXICO CITY, August 3.—An edi- torial in Excelsior yesterday declar- ing that the new oil laws were affect- ing the Mexican oil industry adverse- ly- today brought a reply from the De- partment of Industry and Commerce declaring that the oil companies aim at absolute unrestricted dominion over petroleum in Mexico “like conquerors in a subdued colony stepping over all laws and all principles’of justice.” That official statement said that the efforts of the government to bring about a solution of the controversy, ovar the oil legislation and to furnish the companies means whereby their interests could be harmonized with the new laws had been in vain. “When the government yields some point, new demands arise and each conciliatory step is immediately fol- lowed by a new openly aggressive demonstration showing that the oil companles do not seek agreement, but aim at absolute unrestricted dominion over petroleum,” the statement says. (The Excelsior editorial cited various figures to show that the production of oil in Mexico was decreasing and that the government was losing seri- ous amounts of revenue from its taxation of the petroleum industry, which forms an important part of its income. —— - Death Toll 4,000 Days, That 4,000 labor days are lost for every man who dies of malaria. was the claim of one of the speakers at a joint teachers and health officers’ convention held in Manila recently to stimulate interest in a campaign to fight malaria in all the Philippine Among the speakers was Maj.

HONEST TAX LISTS URGED BY OFFICIAL Commissioner Blair Asks Public and Employes to Prevent Frauds. A call to Government employes and ‘honest and patriotic citizens on the outside” was sounded today by Commissioner Elair of the Internal Revenue Eureau in an effort to pre- vent tax conspiracies by which the Government may he defrauded. ‘Writing in Internal Revenue the second number of which h: cowe from the Government Printing Office press, the commissioncr refers of a typical conspiracy hed in a preceding article and admits that “a number of con- spiracies between employes of the bu- reau and men on the outside have been detected.” “The employes and the conspirators have been prosecuted and sentenced,” he said. “While the total number of such cases appears quite large, the percentage is, indeed, very small, the Bureau of Internal Revenue having many thousands of employes. On ac- count of its immense size it is diffi- cult to compare the Bureau of In- ternal Revenue with private husiness. Defalcations occur occasionally in all classes of private busin and it is helieved by those who have made a careful study of it that the percentage of dishonest emplcyes in the bureau i3 as small or smaller than in most private businesses. ““We are proud of the high character of the employes of this bureau. It is encouraging that most of them co- operate with the Intelligence Unit to the fullest extent in detecting crook- edness on the part of people either on the inside or on the outside, and it is due to this fine spirit and to the diligence of the Intelligence Unit, and the extreme care exercised by the of- ficers of the bureau in the selection of men who occupy places of responsi- bility that the bureau has such a fine record in this regpect. “The case above referred to, and others more or less like it, shows how diligent the officials of the bureau are in detecting and prosecuting both its own employes and men on the outside who conspire’ with them to defraud the Government. Some of the schemes have been, indeed, very cleverly con- ceived, but, just as ‘murder will out,” the plans of the smartest crook will somewhere have a defect and the spe- cial agents eventually find the clew and bring the criminals to justice. “While idle gossip and unfounded suspicion about the integrity of em- ployes are discouraged, the commis- sioner welcomes information that in- es corruption. ‘The conduct of one dishonest em. ploye in a section of the bureau might discredit all the employes in that sec- tion. It can he seen, therefore, that the special agent is the best friend the honest employe has, and hy co-oper- ating with him the honest employe to can keep the bureau clean.
