American oil men press Obregon for tax relief
Mexico City dec 10 American oil companies that recently visited Mexico have been in direct cable contact with President Obregon for weeks seeking tax relief under decrees from last May and June but Obregon said this was unlikely at present. He disclosed that American oil companies owe Mexican government more than 2,200,000 pesos for taxes dating to July through November with over 250,000 pesos for July and more than 6,000,000 for November. The tentative agreement with Secretary of the Treasury de la Bara Warly expired December 25, requiring a new understanding. Obregon indicated Congress wants payment of part of taxes in Mexican government bonds and noted discussions of bond values. The American side planned a visit to New York, with reports suggesting a possible trip later this month if no definite arrangement is reached by cable by Monday.

Smallpox Situation in Kansas City Improves Sharply
Kansas City Missouri reports a subsiding smallpox threat after a week of steady declines. Dr J P Leake of the U S Public Health Service says the city may have had the worst outbreak of any large American town in recent years. Beginning Monday, children who stayed home to avoid vaccination may return to class as vaccination becomes required and rail depots prepare to enforce vaccine certificates. The state board plans vaccination certificates for travelers from December 15 to 22 with officials at all railroad depots. Health Commissioner Starkoft calls Kansas City’s outbreak the most virulent in the nation.

Moving Liquor Barred in Austin Case Ruling
The court, in a liberal interpretation, upholds the ban on transporting intoxicating liquor beyond local limits. A man with two holes of whiskey in his car could not be charged with sale, but may face charges for transporting liquor across jurisdictional lines under existing laws. The decision clarifies penalties and enforcement but leaves room for future interpretation by the legislature.
