CHURCH BANNED IN ONE-THIRD OF MEXICOSTATES Present Unrest Is Laid to Rigid Enforcement of Religious Laws. Abolition of th* practice of religion in more than one-third of Mexico and the introduction of Socialistic teaching in the schools have created anew phase in the age-old struggle between church and state that ia attracting world-wide attention. Resistance of a considerable element of the population to the government i program has led to strife and bloodshed. The ( nited Pre*s has made an objective survey of the situation for American readers, presenting as nearly as possible an impartial picture of the aituation as it exists today. .. The survev is embodied in four dispatches, of which (he following is the first. BY JACQUES D’ARMAXD United Press fetaff Correioondent iCopvneht. 1935. by United Press* MEXICO CITY, Jan. 28.—More than one third of the Mexican sta*<“, and territories, representing between 15 and 20 per cent of the population of the republic, are without legal church services because of the recent tightening of lines in the church-state conflict. A survey by the United Press reveals that since the autumn of 1934, when the proposed reforms of Mexico’s educational laws to include teaching of Socialism in the public schools brought a renewal of the more or less quiescent religious situation, 12 Mexican states either have withdrawn licenses from priests or have expelled them from their borders. Southern States Radical This action has been purely that of the individual states. Years ago the federal government passed the first religious laws and since has regulated such matters as the wearing of distinctive garb by priests, but the present laws governing operation of churches have been passed by the states. The attitude of the various states varies widely from San Liiis Potosi, with 70 authorized priests and churches, down to those that have closed all churches or expelled priests. The latter states are principally in tropical southern Mexico and may or may not reflect the influence of Tomos Garrido Canabal, present secretary of agriculture and for years political chief and governor of the tropical state of Tabasco. Strongest and most radical anticlerical in Mexico, Garrido’s state is the center of a group of six without churches or priests licensed. These are Tabasco, Chipas, Campeche, Oaxaca, Vera Cruz and Yucatan, Sonora, Chihuahua and Tamaulipas are the northern border states without operating priests, while Guerrero, Colima and Zacatecas, in the central portion of Mexicio, complete the list. Social Program Resented In virtually every other state except San Luis Potosi, state laws have been amended restricting the number of churches and priests allowed to function. The states of Hidalgo and Nayarit permit five each, while San Luis Potosi licenses 70. Jalisco 50. Nuevo Leon 40 and Sinaloa 20. The Federal district allows 25. with other states varying between that figure and none. The present situation is a direct result of opposition to the government’s educational provisions embodied in the so-called six-year plan, a program of social and economic development originated by the National Revolutionary t governing) party and approved at the Queretaro convention that nominated General Lazaro Cardenas, present president of the republic. These provisions stipulated socialistic instruction in all schools with absolute suppression of all religious theories. Some of them may be liberally described as atheistic. Up to that time the re’.igioius situation had been fairly tranquil. The religious laws passed under the administration of Plutarco Elias Calles as president were still in force, but there was a laxity in enforcement that was obvious. Enforcement Was Liberal Only a small percentage cf Churches actually had been closed, except in Tabasco, where for years no priest had been allowed. In Mexico City almost every church was holding services openly, others covertly. while the government, apparently in a conciliatory mood, ignored the violations. The same situation prevailed in most of the states. Occasionally a church would be closed here and there, but in general federal and state governments were fairly liberal in law enforcement. In a broad metaphorical sense the situation was similar to that in numerous sections of the United States during the waning days of the prohibition amendment. Then a series of incidents brought about drastic action against the church in almost every part of the public. Almost overnight states bgan to expel priests and close churches. The second of this series will be published tomorrow.

TREAT A COLD AS IF YOU MEAN IT! Don’t Fool Around with Half-way Measures and Invite Serious Complications!

One of the worst things you can do is "kid around” with a cold. The so-called "common cold” causes more serious sickness and more enforced absence from work than anything else. It’s • mistake to treat a cold lightly. A void calls for a cold treatment and nci a "cure-all”. A cold calls for inten. 'l treatment, for a cold is an internal infection. One of the best things you can take for a cold is Grove’s Laxative Eromo Quinine. Yuiir own doctor will tell you chat. First of all, Bromo Quinine is a cold tablet nade expressly for the treatment of colds. Secondly it is internal medication and of fourfold effect Here's what it does: First, It opens the bowels, an 4 advisable step in treating a cold.

REDUCTION IN GROSS INCOME RATEISURGED Arnett Proposes to Make Up Loss With Levy on Sales. A proposal that the gross income tax rate on personal income be reduced and a 2 or 3 per cent retail sales tax law enacted was made yesterday by W. H. Arnett, chairman of the Governors Tax Study Commission. The present one per cent personal receipts tax would be reduced to one. fourth of one per cent to correspond with the gross tax on manufacturers and retailers receipts. “The recommendations of the commisison were based on a statement matle by the Governor some time ago that no additional taxes would be needed,” Mr. Arnett said. ‘‘Now it is reported that additional revenue may be needed for pld p.ge pensions, social service, unemployment relief and outlays for state institutions. If such revenue is needed, many favor -eduction of the personal receipts tax and substitution of the mandatory retail sales tax of 2 or 3 per cent. “ Jhe estimated receipts from such an arrangement would be about $25,000,000 annually, which is about double the amount received at present,” Mr. Arnett declared.

ent General Assembly It was declared today by Harry Miesse, secretary of the Indiana Taxpayers Association. He declares the pari-mutuel betting bill, legalizing horse racing in the state, would raise revenue, but that the amount raised can be only guessed at. He sees benefit in H. B. 107. which continues the minimum wage scale for teachers in that it does not increase the minimum scale. The free text book bill for public schools is seen an increasing governmental costs. House Bill 126 seeks to levy 10 per cent on theater admissions and would save much in tax levies, in Mr. Miesse’s opinion. New Taxes Urged A tax on cigarets, tobacco, placing cards and tickets to professional athletic contests to provide revenue needed under the provisions of a free text book bill was to be introduced today by Senator Perry H. In.nan iD., Winslow). Senator Inman's measure differs from the administration measure now pending in the House chiefly in the manner by which funds would be raised. The administration bill would give counties power to levy on real estate. The appropriation measure for Senator Inman’s bill, calling for the stamp tax on luxuries, is expected to be introduced today in the House-
