She does not conceal her resentment
when she hears or reads of a misrepre-
sentation of the Filipinos. IT is UNI
fortunate" she once exclaimed in a
voice full of sadness, that my country
and my people are hardly known, much
less understood, by the people of Am
erica"
Politics is tabooed In any conversa-
ton with this Filipino maid. She
evades the topic by replying that she
is too young to express opinions on
things political. "All / can say" she
declares, 'is that / share with my
father in the desire for independence
for my. native land. There is no ques-
ton about our being able to govern
ourselves"
Filipinos declare Miss Aguinaldo has
a genuine Filipino temperament
that Is, she does not believe in the oc.
cidental custom of dates" between
Young men and women. She does not
see anything wrong in it, she says, but
1t is such a violent departure from the
custom in the Philippines that she can
not adopt it.
"YOu might laugh at me-" she said
but | cannot go out with one single
escort unchaperoned. | simply can't
will go back to my country with the
soul of Filipino.
A newspaper in one of the large Am
erican cities that Miss Aguinaldo visit
ed expressed the opinion that she
would no doubt be greatly impressed
by the sight of street cars and some Of
the fine residences she would see, bu
the truth is the young lady was raisec
in Manila, where she has seen an up
to-date street car system all her life.

There is yet much to learn
about drainage and flood con-
troll and with the united effort
and influence Of the twenty
nine. counties in one organiza-
ton these problems can and
will be- solved.
It is safe to say land or pro-
perty not benefited cannot be
assessed, and therefore there
can be no harm done any one
by including territory that will
not be benefited in order to
take in the watershed and the
streams that must be regulat-
ed and controlled, because, if
any damage is. done it must be
paid for by the benefited, prop
erty.
Selfish interests ought not be
permitted to stand in the way
of public improvements and
the common good. It has been
demonstrated that fisheries pay
under prope management an
average of over $40 an acre.
This makes the construction of
reservoirs possible most any
where.
The organization of the dis
trict is merely a preliminary
step. It is the first step, and
no improvements or costs can
be incurred without applica-
ton to the district court where
the proposed improvements are
to be made, except the $4,000
for preliminary expenses such
as publishing the notice OF
hearing. Let's make it unani-
nous and take the first step
It will injure no one and may
accomplish great good.

FARM BUREAU PROPOSALS

FARM BUREAU PROPOSALS
The new congress-, which met for
the first time last Monday, received
three memorials from the national Coli
ference of the American Farm Bureau
federation meeting at Indianapolis.
One asked for an embargo on all
farm products from all other coun.
tries that are produced in sufficient
quantities in the United States to take
care of the need, said embargo to con.
tinue until satisfactory protective tar
IFS to give agriculture the same con
sideration as is now given to industry
are put into effect
The second asked congress to pro
vide means for extending time of pay:
ment on farmers notes over a period
of 10 to IL months, either by action
of the federal reserve board, if that IT,
possible, or by amendment OF the fed
eral reserve law, if necessary. The
third calls for immediate action by
congress for the purpose of opening
up foreign markets to American pro
| ducts.

resented by the Farm Bureau fedora
ton, thus join the chorus for higher
protective tariffs which the large II
dustrial corporations of the East are
trying to work up In sufficient volume
to force concessions from congress-.
Higher tariffs on manufacturers q,
this time will still further reduce til.
amount of goods which, Europe nigh
send to us and thus reduce the amount
of farm products which Europe vii

On the other hand, it is impossibl,

WASHINGTON, D. c.--Two reasons
may bs assigned for President Will
sons failure to say anything definite
on anyof our important problems in
his message to congress-.
He was aware that the Republicans
now in control would not follow his
advice if he had spoken with the wis
dom of one whose political career ia
over, and he naturally would prefer
that the Republicans have undivided
responsibility in the present critical
period.
Ais the president has been sick
man Tor long time, Only recently
has he done as much as. an hour OF
light work day. Those who come to
see him have orders to avoid contrc.
versial and disturbing topics. He is,
therefore, probably out of touch with
what is really going on in the coun-
try.
His principal recommendations were
as follows:
NOSAo1OA u CAO IoA Ao"SS Will foAAAA~
plification Of the income and profta
taxes.
independence for the Philippines.
"A loan to Armenia.
ECONOMY in government appropria'
lions and expenditures and creation 'cl
workable budget system
"Cold storage, and other laws affect.
ing the cost of living, and the federal
licensing of corporations as recon-
meuded in previous messages.
"Rehabilita Con and training of dis
abled soldiers and Sailors"
Congress is likely to simplify the ir
come and excess profits taxes in the
sense of relieving the financiers OF
most of the burden now imposed
There will be gestures in the directi III
| of economy.
But there is no prospect of indie
pendence for the Philippines or 70,
proper cold storage legislation.
| The loan to Armenia is hardly pos
sibility.

LODGE KILLS CREDIT ACTION

The move of Senator Lodge in pre-
venting consideration of credit aid to
farmers does not lend encouragement
to the hopes of western farmers for
relief from this congress.
On December 6 the senate commit.
tee on agriculture reported for fav r.
able consideration a resolution to re
vive the War Finance corporation to
give credit aid to farmers.
Unanimous consent was needed To-:
action by the upper house. Senator
Lodge, chairman of the last Republi
can convention, rose to say that ne
did not believe in legislation for one
class and that eastern manufacturers
were deserving of aid as much as thu
western farmers. This objection kill
ed any chance of speedy action and
the measure may now come up in due
course some time in the future.
Wheat broke cents On the big mar:
kets when the news of the Lodge a.
ton became known. The spectators
evidently take it as cue that congre 80
will not interfere with the banker
Spectator squeeze play against the
farmers.
We venture to predict that whe'i
the senate takes up the matter of
surtaxes on large incomes and excess
! profits taxes Senator Lodge will not
see in their proposed reduction al!
| menace of class legislation.
