SCORES RETENTION POLICY
Manuel Guezon Resigns From Philip

Washington, June 27.-Manuel Que.
zon, resident commissioner for the
Philippines in congress, has resigned
from the executive committee of the
Philippine society and also as a mem.
ber, because he is not In sympathy
with the purpose of the society nor
with the course pursued in the affairs
of the islands.
Former President Taft, now Yale
university professor, is the honorary
president of the organization; the ex-
ecutive president is General Luke
Wright, former governor general of
the islands.
Quezon, in his letter of resignation,
writes that he joined the society with
the honest belief that he could aid
In the promotion of its announced pur-
pose, ito create a more sympathetic
interest between the American and
Philippine people,"
He soon suspected, he goes on to
say, that the real object was to create
public opinion In favor of the in
definite retention of the islands by the
United States.

MANY WOULD AID CONGRESS
Advice on Currency Reform Method.
Floods Committee.

Washington, June 27.-Otttcials en-
gagged in the preparation of the new
currency reform bill are convinced
that Americans have more varied ideas
upon the money question than upon
any other before congress.
Floods of letters have come to the
house and senate currency committees
and the executive departments since
the general scope of the bill became
known.
Many suggestions have been made
for the establishment of some sort OF
farm land values upon which the gov.
ernment could advance money. One
scheme offered calls for direct issue
of currency, under proper safeguards,
upon farm land values.
Several currency experts" have
recommended that the government
make straightout issue of fiat mon.
ley" secured by the general credit OF
the government.

two weeks and discovered that he
was not congressman, probably will
be summoned. II is probable that
Otto II. Kahn, the banker; Maxwell
Evarts, general counsel for the South

men will be asked to testify.
Lovett's testimony dealt with al
legged efforts to force the railroad
to employ Edward Lauterbach, a
New York attorney, who was claimed
to have enough influence with mem
bers Of congress to prevent agitation
against the dissolution plan.
Mr.. Lovett testified further that
Lauterbach, in his conversation with
Otto II. Kahn, had referred to Repre-
sentative Henry of Texas as one of
the leaders of the radical element"
Lovett said he felt sure Henry had
no connection whatever with Lauter-
bach.
Hearings of the lobby" committee

WRITES HISTORY OF GRAFT
Governor SuIzer Promises to Startls
Public,

New York, June 27.-Governor Sui.
Ger is writing his story of graft IN
New York for newspaper publication.
With the daily representatives of his
special investigators before him he is
now at work on a series of Ave articles
which he promises will startle the
reading public.
To say that New York politicians
are awaiting the appearance OF the
governors story with some perturba.
ton is putting It mildly.
The governor says he has been in
duced to write the articles because
he believes there Is lesson in the
condition he found at Albany, not only
for the people Of New York but for
the people OF the United States.

tractor, against Supreme Court Jus.
tice Daniel F. Cohalen and fixed June

Commission Changes Plan

THREE MEMBERS DISSENT
Decision to Probe Petition of Eastern
Railroads for Permission to In
crease Freight Rates is Carried by
a Bare Majority.

Washington, June 27.-An amended
order in lieu of that rescinded last
Saturday was issued by the interstate
commerce commission for an investi-
cation into an increase of freight
rates by the Eastern railroads. 1t diff
fars in IahrasA@alass,- L,-%---e< -s-.-r-s-..
ciple from that rescinded.
The decision to investigate was
reached by bare majority, three OF
the body, Commissioners Clements,
McChord and Marble, dissenting. Each
dissenter wrote a brief opinion hold
ing in the main that the commission
having nothing concrete before it was
without authority to establish mini
mum rates.
In connection with the issuance of
the order the commission makes two
observations:
"First-The fact that we have de.
cided further to investigate this mat
ter must not be taken as an intimation
that the commission has reached the
ildl ICNGhutS are lHdub-
quate or that rates should be ad-
vanced. Upon this question no opin-
ion has been formed.
"Second-That the status gives to
any party the right to attack by COM
plant any rate and no general con-
clusion which the commission may
reach and announce i'm this investiga-
tion can effect that right"
In the preface of it's order the COM
mission says that IAN inquiry is or
dered into these points:
DO the present rates OF transporta-
tion yield adequate revenues to CON-
mon carriers by railroads operating in
official classification territory?
IF not, what general course may
carriers pursue to meet the situation"

provements befitting the greater republic
of the present time and necessary to
make the modern city in every branch Of
municipal development a model capital.
What is done for the capital is done
for the nation and for the promotion of
national sentiment. At once the bond
and token of union, the nations city and
the spirit of American nationality are in
tertwined. Sincere and enthusiastic love
for country is what keeps alive the mod
ern republic and gives it prosperity and
glory. Both capital and nation have
planted the roots of their existence in
this patriotic sentiment. The Union and
it's peculiar residence and part property.
keep patriotism alive, rest upon the same
supports.
The national sentiment was never
stronger than it is today. The whole re-
public thrills in response to the atriotic
impulse. The nation and what r per-
tains to it are spelled in the largest type.
/ do not believe for an instant that
American sentiment will declare for a
contracted capital discreditable when
compared with the broad plans of the
forefathers and involving ultimate re-
pudiat.on of national concern in national
territory. The tendency of the times is
tory to the bounds of the original city
but to enlarge its area, as vigorously
urged by President Taft by reacquir.ng
the section of the ten miles square retro
ceded over half a century ago to Virginia.
I am convinced that the ninety millions
of Americans of today, instead of ap-
proving a retrOgrade anti-eXpansion pol

Unjust to Taxpayers.

The system of street opening and i'm
provement proposed in the separate ex-
tension bills, like those affecting Rhode
Island avenue, 11th street and 10Th street.
was Unjust to all individual local tax
payers, whether living inside or beyond

and the proper system and practlce such
improvements. whether in the suburbs or
in original Washington, are paid for from
the taxes of all Washington without re-
gard to the location Of the taxpayer and

both sides of Boundary street, contributes
it's proportion toward all. 1t was 0S9S-9)
then proposed, however, to establish
new precedent of eXempting Uncle Sam
from contributing outside Boundary
street. The injustice to the suburbanite Is
obvious. But the owner of property IN
side the city has also q grievance. why
should he pay for the Improvement Of
streets In the suburbs when Uncle Sam,
who owns over 5000 acres of these SUBJ
urbs has exempted himself from such
payment? If he is equitably bound to
pay for suburban improvements. mas
much as the suburban taxpayer has long
contributed toward urban improvements.
does not the same equity apply to Uncle
Sam, who owns large fraction Of the
taxable values of Washington? Is 1t not
ridiculous that the only urban taxpayer
to be exempted from suburban cOntribu-
tion is Uncle Sam. who, with his thou
sands of acres beyond Boundary street.
is by far the largest single suburban
property owner?
The taxpayers of the district are abso-
lutely unable unaided to develop the outly-
ing territory on tn elines Of the original
capital Suburban Washington contains
81, ,925 acres, as against Sill acres in the
original city and 800 acres in Washington
and Georgetown. At a minimum estimate
there will be much over 10000 acres of
streets to be condemned. opened. main
tained and improved. as against 1905
acres In the original city. under whose
burden the taxpayers Of the capital for
three-fOurths of a century groaned. The
new city Will be five times the area of the
original city. The area of the streets to be
donated, maintained and improved will be
twice as large as the entire area of the
original city, and the imaginary street
representing this area would extend to
Chicago instead of New York
The proposition carried to it's logical
termination means bankruptcy for the To-
cal taxpayers. The municipal expenses,
even with extremely moderate suburban
improvements on a cramped street plan
and with the nation contributing it's share
Of the entire cost, have sLfficed to keep
the taxes up to high point compared
with other municipalities. If the sub
