End MISSION
COMES FROM
PHILIPPINES
Body Headed by Senate Presi-
dent Quezon Reiterates De.

That the Filipino people are in earn
est, in their demand for immediate in
dependence is indicated by the coming
to the United States Of a second Philip
pine mission to work for independence.
Coincident with this announcement the
War Department received a cable from
Manila stating that the all Filipino leg
islature had adopted resolutions re-
i~terating its plea for immediate indie
pendence.
The second mission, like the FIRST, is
composed of the leading men of the is
lands and will work in the United
States not only Tor immediate indie
pendcnce, but also to bring about bet
ter understanding, greater confidence
and closer economic relations between
the United States and the Philippines"
The mission Is again headed by Nam

pine Senate, who is well known in
America, having been 70. six years res

gio Osmena, Speaker of the Philippine

which has been in power since 1907.
While Speaker Osmena Is not so well
known in the United States as Quezon,
he Is considered one Of the ablest men
In the islands. Senate President Que

"the greatest Filipino since Rial"
The personal relations between o.
and Quezon are probably without
a parallel in modern politics. They
have been the leading political figures
in the islands for II years, vet there
has never been the slightest indication
of rivalry between them. Throughout
their college life as well as their long
political service each has refused to be
a candidate for any position that the
other aspired to.
During the years Quezon was the
Philippine delegate in the American
Congress he won the esteem and con.
fidence of both the Republican and
Democratic sides of the chamber.
Whenever he spoke he was assured Of
a good attendance. One Of the official
short hand reporters once declared

Maintenance Expense on

byState.:

After July l maintenance expense on
primary roads will be paid out of state
funds. County road officials will do
the work but the state will pay the
bills. Awakened desire for better rOaGk'A
and Il determination to have them is
causing r0ad maintenance, especially.I
urinary road maintenance, to be given
more thought by road officials of Iowa
this spring.
Iowa for several years has had two
classes of road systems, township and
maintained by county officials from.
county funds township roads by town-ts
ship officials and township funds. The
lthirty-eighth general assembly ordered"
the establishment by selection frOlips
both county and township systems Of"

the same the primary or state roa6b
system. ''"'
1t established a primary rOad fund.-
made up from the receipts of the"
motor vehicle license fees and federal"
aid, to be used for construction and"
maintenance. This is a state, not Il
county fund, for use on a strictly state"
~ LII
Prior to July I this year mainte-"
nance of primary roads will be paid.
from the county road cash fund or the
motor, vehicle fund as in. the past.
Maintenance of primary roads which

were formerly part of the township
road system will be paid out of the
township funds except such township

roads as had been constructed under.
the federal aid act. Maintenance Of
such stretches must, according to the
original agreement. be maintained out
of county funds until July l. This af-,
fects only a few miles Of state roads.

he is on the rim of the world. Some of
the turns are so sharp it is impossible
to see 20 feet ahead, and We seem to

ALI too soon we reach the outskirts
Of Baguio, a city among the clouds.
and are rather surprised ut the modern
city we find it to be. In ten years Ba-
guio has grown from n village of huts
to the now justly famed mountain re-

ed the Philippine Simla. 1t is I'm.
doubtcdly destined some day to become
a large city.
Baguio ranges In elevation from
1900 to $500 feet and Is surrounded
practically OF all sides by high noun.
tain ridges and ~"hogsbacks" towerin.
into the skies at a height of almost
5000 feet.
Aside from the scenery. which Is
noteworthy, the great blessing of Ba.
guio is its temperate climate, which Is
indeed n godSend TO those i%mpovcrish-
ed by the tropical temperatures of the
lowlands. Not only is the mountain
air rich in ozone. but it has been DEM
onstratcd to be extraordinarily free
from germs Of all kinds.
Each year during the hot season the
school teachers Of the entire archipela.
go are enabled by the government to
spend a month at the teachers camp
in Baguio for recreation aud confer
ence on school work. American army
officers and their families also go to
BaguiO for the hot months.
And now that your traveloguer has

Houses arc Scarce.

Siratford Courier: The housing
problem in StratfOrd is a really serious
one TO secure a place in which TO
live is almost next to impossible and
nearly every day someone is looking for
a house. There are plenty of men here
who have the means and who could
help out the situation a whole lot if
they would construct one or more mod
crn homes. Such homes would not
need to be fancy, but just plain and
convenient and would bring good rent
ais. When there are people here WHO
are offering to pay from 25 u month up
for homes in which to live, it would
certainly be n good investment for any
man who has the capital to build n few
homes. VA 80

High Sum Paid in Revenue.

Dubuque Times-JOurnal: Although
the last of the income tax returns for
1919 were filed with the collector OF
internal revenue on March. u. the
collectors office organization did not
knock off night work until Tuesday
night. 1t took until then to deposit
the millions Of dollars received in pay
ment of income tax. Twenty temper
airy deputies additional to the regular
office organization Of 100 were needed
to wade through the mass Of reports
sent in from all yer the state.
1t was said at the collectors Office
that the number of taxpayers is 30
600 larger this year than last year,
when 10000 individuals paid taxes
and another $4,000 filed returns show
ing no tax due. The increase is eX-
planned in part by the higher wages
paid, by the return TO gainful employ
ment of thousands Of former soldiers
and by the wider understanding OF the
income tax law.
Not w%ithstanding the large increase
in the number of taxpayers, the col
lector's office expects that with Its
force of GO field men 1t will this year
find 10000 persons in Iowa who should
have made returns and did not. These
people, when uncovered, will have to
pay tax and heavy penalties, and there
will be criminal prosecution in every
case where there is evidence establish
ing willful purpose to avoid payment OF
tax.
The system in vogue i'll the collec-
tors Office provides for cutting Il stem
Gil showing the name and address OF
each tax payer and the number assign

stencil, and then arranging these cards
in strict dictionary order. This is an
operation. 1t produces 2N,-
600 record cards, but 1t enables the Of
flee to find the return of the taxpayers
in the files or ascertain the amount of
his tax payment or his liability as
shown on the Office ledger, in a few mo-
ments. The number assigned the tax
payer is the key to where the form

Ia very sweet rendition followed by
"Madelon'' by the boys club. Taxi
was a production full to the brim of
fun and music and action, right to the
dot. The lively bell hops, the charm
ing ladies and gentlemen in evening
dress, who took the leading parts con-
vusled the audience, and the excellent
support of the chorus gave a volume
most attractive. This number was
anOther great favOritc with the crowd.
Margaret Lehnllard as solOist in
You're Still an Old Sweet Heart of
Mine'-bOth looked and sang her part
beautifully, the chorus work fitting in
nicely with the solo.
L.ora Boysen, the gypsy fortune tell
er, gave a solo eXcellently interpreting
her part in voice and action and finish
ing with a gypsy dance supported by
seven other girls in gypsy costumes
with tambourine and all sorts OF jingling
raiment. The little dance was given
with vim and grace--and those girls
could have kept right Oh for an hour,
to the delight OF the crowd which
cheered heartily this charming produc-
ton. Miss Lola Hughes drilled the
girls in the dance part-and it showed
most effective training.

given by Anrilla Peterson, "Will You
