Bonds and government finance under Harding critique
The piece argues Senator Harding misstates liberty and victory bonds value, noting bonds are backed by a strong government and will be repaid. It contends bonds were issued to fund war without crippling taxes, warns against speculation, and asserts the public should not expect higher par value or market manipulation. The discussion shifts to Mexican vice, Cantu’s regime, and efforts to curb corruption and protect citizens from exploitation at the border.

The Real Reason Behind Governor Cantu’s Stand
The de facto Mexican government explains why Esteban Cantu, Lower California’s rebellious governor, resists terms with the central authority. Cotton crops fetch record prices and taxes on cotton could exceed 2 million dollars, with concessions on gambling and liquor. Officials allege Cantu aims to seize funds to fund resistance to federal troops, highlighting perceived failures of prior regimes and signaling the new government’s intent to reform.
