GENERAL WOOD
IS SEEN SAVIOR
Of PHILIPPINES
Sec. Weeks Declares Faith In
Military Leader to Build
Up Islands.

The situation in the Philippines
could not be worse" and with the
islands on the verge of bankruptcy,
the services OF Maj. Gen. Leonard
Wood as governor general are urgent
ly needed to adjust Philippine affairs.
Secretary of War Weeks said yester-
day.
While the Secretary refused to COM
ment on the administration of former
Governor General Harrison, he said
that II he had been governor general
of the Philippines during the past few
years, he would not feel he could be
proud of his work.
Secretary Weeks said that tho poor
financial conditions in the Philippines
were due largely to the fact. that tho
assets of the islands could not be real
lied upon. The sugar and hemp mar
kets are in the midst of depression. the
Secretary said, and this, coupled with
unwise banking policies, is largely re-
sponsible for the conditions existing
In the Philippines.

The taxpayer ought to be grateful
for what Congress-plus President
Harding-did for him last week.
The nuisance taxes" were thrown
overheard; also the transportation tax;
and exemptions on the payment OF
income taxes were raised materially.

perts, suddenly became an extremely
popular subject
Under whip and spur the House will
pass the new tax bill this week, I'M
less tho present program is fumbled:
everybody has been fighting and pray
ing for--that is. everybody except the
railroad interests, which are deeply
disturbed because the Townsend fund
ing bill has become delayed until the
autumn.
La Toilette in Fight.
Senatir La Toilette Is making ono of
his old-time railroad fights on this
measure. and has won considerable
support In the Senate. Administra-
but the outlook for a long and bitter
debate whenever the bill comes up on
the floor II excellent.
History was made during the past
week by. the visit OF Senator Borah
to the White House. The Idahoan
was sent for by the President, and
the discussion. 1t Is alleged, ranged
from the coming disarmament con-
ference to the solution exemptins
American coastwise shipping from
the payment Of Panama canal tolls.
which Is now the unfinished business
Of the Senate.
Senator Borah IL now such q pre-
dominant influence in the Senate that
he IL likely to succeed in getting
his tolls bill passed, and undoubted-
ly will be able to prevent any action
on the Penrose bill Tor tho refunding
Of the foreign debt until after the
disarmament conference. Neither
Of these Borah ideas is pleasing to
the White House, but there has been
no abrupt disagreement over them.

Senator La Toilette made a stub
born fight before the Interstate Com

Director General of Railroads McAdoo
called to testify regarding the Town

the anxiety of the majority members
to force action on the measure, all
action was postponed until next

BY a vote of eighty-six to eighty

little opposition. Some controversy
has arisen over the film. THE Bath

but two or three close-ups, which the
board declared to be offensive, were
eliminated. The producers may seek

the appropriation being so small II In
probable that no inspectors will be APP

State until the Legislature meets In

Chairman Cobb said that the Rev.
William Chafe, head of reform or
ganization, endeavored to have the
commission intercede- to stop the ex-
