Declares Filipinos All
Want independence
Former Illinois Congressman Back From Philippines
Gives Interesting Views Island Affairs.


principally 70 the fact that In the
Jones law America gave the Filipinos
her word of honor that as soon as a
stable government could be establish
ed we would withdraw our sovereignty
from the Philippine Islands.
II might. al tirst thought, seem
strange that In their sincere appre-
citation of all that we have done for
them the Filipino people should place
mos, emphasis on the promise to grant
them their Independence. For II can
not be successfully denied that on the
whole the United States has treated
the Filipino people better than any
nation ever treated a dependent allen
people In all the days since the curtain
rose on the dawn Of civilization. III
we do not spoil Il, II IL a record that
we can be proud of.
But II really isn't 20 strange that
the Filipino should io"e US more for
our promise TO give them sovereignty
over themselves than for our other
good works, for which. after all. out.
side OF army and navy expenditures,
the Filipinos have been taxed, and
properly so. for every cent of the cost.
II we but reverse the situation. and
place ourselves In the shoes OF the
Filipinos, which cannot be said 70 be
an unfair way or getting at the other
fellows viewpoint. we shall see that
II Is not strange.
Suppose that Great Britain or any
other power that you can think OF by re-
ferring TO your geography or history.
should impose Its sovereignty upon US
against our will and then give US an
Infinitely better government than we
now enjoyf Could any such foreign
power ever succeed In convincing Us
than we have ourselves.
But to return to my story. the Fiji
pinos heartily thanked US for the
Jones law, considering II sort OF u
covenant between the Filipino and
American peoples, and immediately
applied themselves 10 the task OF set.

There ls but one answer. America

TOO MANY COOKS

We're anything lacking to convince
us that the regulation of our rail
roads is a national and not q state
affair the recent action by several
state public service commissions in
changing the rates granted by the
Interstate Commerce commission
would seem to elinch the case, says
the Pacific Banker.
But these acts are only q final
show Of power fast Diminishing. The
mere fact to permit rates IN SOME
states to be lower than others would
cause every shipper in the country
to seek to have his goods routed
through these favored states 10 SUIT
ficient to illustrate the demoralized
consequences both to the railroads
and to existing trade centers. The
trend OF events In recent years stead
lily points to the increasing decline
of the states powers Of regulating in
terstate rates.

DELICATE PROBLEM.
New Phase Effect of Support Law Re-
ceiving Attention.

The extremely technical questions in
volved In the important case OF isaac
Richardson, Negro, charged with non
support, were up again today before
Judge Heisel In General Sessions Court.
Deputy Attorney General P, Warren
Green asked leave to supplement has
argument of q week ago with brief on the
question of limitations After gong over
the law of the case with Attorney General
David J. Reinhardt the deputy said
he had concluded he ought TO bring more
authorities to the attention of the court.
Attorney Franklin Brackson was also
gwen leave to file brief, if he desired to,
while convinced that the offense is OF a
continuing nature, the court today ex-
pressed grave doubt about the legal rig ht
of the State to proceed against the alleged
father of an illegitirnate child to compel
him to support it.
Criminal lawyers are discussing the case
in all its legal phases. Some considered
the law years ago, they say, and reached
the conclusion that the statute Of limita-
lions did not apply to such cases because
Of their continuing nature. But Judge
Heiael today indicated he considered that
the passing of an order to support IN this
casezwould be tantamount to conviction
FOR q crime or misdemeanor committed,
f at all, nine years after the statute of
limitations began to run. The court
viii decide the matter soon after counsel
file their briefs.
