MEXICAN. DEMOCRACY IS IN
THE SADDLE
There is orfly one explanation of
President Obregon's completed term
in Mexico and the accession of his
Cabinet Minister, General Calles,
without friction. That explanation is
the ascendency of Labor and of agr-
arian reform in the political sentiment
of the country. The Scientificoes, ac-
cording to the New York Times, are
not extinct, for conservatism still has
itefeaders and its followers in Mexi-
col,. The Church still exercises a
,powerful influence, although unob-
trusively. But Mexican democracy,
whict learned its strength in the ten
years of revolution following the ale,
dication of Diaz, is in the saddle. It
has been well said that Mexico is in
no danger from Bolshevism — t h e
brand new, the crude, the undisciplin-
ed democracy of the workers and the
peons is, however, to be reckoned with
by those who take or seize the reins
of authority. General Obregon adapt-
ed himself to it. General Calles pled-
ges himself to carry out in Obregon's
policies and Calles is not an intriguer.
Both came up from the common
people and both sympathize with
their aspirations—Obregon the chick
pea farmer, Calles the school teach-
er. If it be said that Obregon
sntoothed the way for the succession
by using the army to put down the
revolt of De la Huerta and that
therefore the picture of the serene
inauguration of Calles is deceptive.
the answer is that• De la Huerta did
not have the support of the Labor
captains and the land reformers, who
are dominant in Mexico to -day. It
was a peaceful change of administra-
tion because the common people will-

ed it. The Obregon Government re-
flelted their- desires. The Go..yern-
ment of Calles is not likely to be ob-
struitive.
It would be a mistake, however,
to suppose 'the sky is cloudless for
the new Administration. Agrarian
reform, to which it is dedicated,
looms portentously as a problem.
Nothing that President Callen does
to carry out the Zapata ideal that
every peon willing to work the land
shall possess it can please either the
peon or the haciezulado. The . solu-
tion is compromise, but only the
wisdom of Solomon codld point the
way. Obregon has passed on to
Calles an Agrarian progranun.e that
may wreck the latter's Administra-
tion unless he develops qualities of
statesmanship with which he has
not been eredited. A beginning has
been made, but neither peon nor
proprietor is satisfied with it. The
peon complains in many cases that
he has not received the share of
land he is entitled to. The proprie-
tor is averse to taking depreciated
Government (bonds in payment for
land he does not want to part vrith.
The influence which Labor justly
expects to hace with President Calles
was indicated by the strength of the
unions represented at the inaugura-
tion. Hundreds of delegates came
from the United States. Every State
in Mexico sent its Labor leaders to
applaud the candidate who had bold-
ly proclaimed himself a radical and
no friend to capital, unless it was
"humane capital." Theoretically the
economic policies of General Calles
are admirable, but in such a coun-
try as Mexico to carry them out will
be most difficult. During the cam-
paign he said:—
"I am frankly for giving the ex -
plotted and submerged Mexican mass-
es a new deal. I want education for
all their children. I want each one
to have the chance through hard work
to be able to better himself materially
and spiritually. Before the revolu-
tion the Mexican worker was born a
serf and couldn't be anything else."
General Calles desired that Mexi-
cans should have all "the elementary
human rights," among.- them "uni-
with ofkes .ne roust hold the Scion -
tificees in check; he must put Mex-
ico on a basis, of enduring solvency,
and he must keep on good terms
with the army. His task calls for
the arts of the politician and the wis-
dom of the statesman, and above all
for character.
WHY EUROPE'S ,CARS. DIFFER
FROM OURS
Two of the world's greatest auto-
mobile shows wereeheld this autumn
at the Grand Palais, Paris, and Olym-
pia, London.
At the Grand Palais, 192 different
makes of motor 'ears were, on exhib-
ition, including 87 French, 10 Italian,
12 American, 8 Belgian and 5 British
makes.
Olympia had 134, including 75 Eng-
lish, 22 American, 22 French, 10
Italian and five Belgian makes and
vet 3,000 makers of parts and ac-
cessories exhibited their products.
About the same number of similar
manufacturers were present at Lott-
_
don.
The attendance at both Paris and
London was enormous. People from
all over the world attend them.
Over 100,000 people visited the Grand
Palais on each of the two Sundays
upon which the show was open, and
700,000 during the eleven days it con-
tinued. The same interest prevailed
in England.
A marked difference
automobile industry in
America is in the size
duced.
Three-fourths of all European
makers produce small cars. Many
are very short and of treads as nar-
row as 46 inches, against the
American standard of 56 inches.
Small tires and low road clearance
are common, as are open cars seating
two and three people, with quite
flimsy tops.
Small bore motors with high com-
pression, operating at speeds of 3,000
to 4,000 revolutions per minute pre-
vail. -

the reasons 'Which conipelled Euro,

not exist, in America.
Europe was, forced to btlikl them
beeause cif. the basis of- „taxation,
which generally is a high- tax on
horsepower. •The French tax is 36
francs pia I. on cars of 10 L. P.
and less, 44 ffancs per H.P. for those
from 10 to 20411.P. and 52 -francs per
IL P. for those above 20 H.P. The
English tax 21 per }L P. slat
France has alp a ten per cent, IMMO
tax on the ail price. These taxes
compare witheeomething like 25 cents
per H. P. in United States.
The mathematical formula used by
practically alt countries to determine
horsepower rating is admitted by/ell
engineers to, be grossly inaceurate,
and yet the governments use :it as a
tax basis. It. is based on bore and
stroke only. • The actual horsepower
of -the enginecan be determined only
by test, and cannot be arrived at by
formula, because it involves not only
bore, stroke and engine speed, but
the additional factors of compres-
sion retie, valve size, valve lift, tim-
ing, weight :30 reciprocating parts,
and the nature of ignition; also
Manifold destgn, density of gas, and
frictional remStance.
Citroen advertises 20 H. P. as the
effective power of his 5 H. P. _car.
MorrisaCowley advertise 30 H. P.
as the effective power of their 11.9
H.P. car.
They actually get the higher power
from these Small engines by running
them fast under high compression,
but buyers pay tax on the formula
rating. Cheap American cars have
much biggeri slow speed, normal
compression Motors, whose buyers in
Europe must pay much higher taxes.
Consequently, the European small
cars have aebig advantage.
Large European cars with slow
speed, normal compression motors,
comparable to American made mo-
tors, come within the luxury class,
and buyers pay about the same taxes
as American cars of the same kind
carry.
