the effect that before the interstate
commerce commission pays out any Of
the fund Of $3.50, o00,0 900 voted for the
railroads. the roads should have to
show that they had complied care

ment was lost by vote Of ~ to 10.

| lAMoNT'S TAX ARGUMENTS.
Thomas Lamont, one Of the king
pins of the Morgan banking syndicate,
has found a new argument against
taxes on large incomes.
He finds that, according to tax re-
ports Of 1917. only ~ per cent Of the
population Of the United States made
returns Of taxable incomes Then only
per cent of this III per cent paid
73h per cent OF the income taxes.
Lamont holds this up az evidence
that the income tax Is not q fairly
distributed tax Only $4,000 Of the
population paid 1871 per cent Of the
sum collected In 1917.
Those who believe that a million.
ARE income should pay no more than
an income which enables farmer OF
workman to keep body and soul to.
gether will agree with Lamont.
Lamont's figures throw an interest.
Ing light on how wealth Is concen.
trated in America. We must remem.
Der that single person with owe,
$1,000 year- and q family with over
$4,000 had to pay an income tax,
He also shows how i've eastern
states paid 81 per cent Of the tax. and
here again We have q good proof q
how our financial system drains the
whole country for the beneflt Of mart
Il It.

PHILIPPINE PRODUCTS
SHOW BIG INCREASE
Valuation of $344, 900, 900
Placed on 1920 Crops.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
MANILA, p. l., Jan. 30.-The value Of
the most important products of the Phil
ippine Islands-rice, sugar. hemp. corn,
cocoanuts and tobacco-for the year 1920
amounted TO approximately $344 900. 900.
according to the preliminary report SUBJ
mitted by the Secretary of Agriculture
to the Governor General, Francis Burton
Harrison.
In 1919 the value OF these same six
products was only $21e,0O0, 900. DIR.
Galicano Apacible, Secretary OF Agricul-
turc, in his report says that while the In
crease In the value of Philippine prod
ucts in 1920 was due largely to the high
prices the Increase In acreage and the
qualityof the crops assisted in swelling
tho value.
In 1920 the area of land planted to
rice amounted TO $4,000 acres. an In
crease OF per cent. over the previous
year. This rice was all sold In the phil
mines for approximately S127 400, 900.
an increase OF 81 per cent. over 1919.
The area planted to sugar cane ,ast
year was 493.507 acres off of which np-

in Recovery, Says r. f.
Aspden.

"The world to-day resembles closely

Is on the mend. The period Of his con-
valescence may be more, or less pro-
longed. but he Is certain TO get well.
1t requires but confidence III himself.
good fresh air and plenty of exercise TO
effect the cure
Such Is the opinion of T. Fred Asp
den. vice-president OF the Park-Union
Foreign Banking Corporation. who has
just returned TO the United States from
a six months tour of the world. maxi
ing a survey OF conditions and visiting
the branches OF the corporation. Much
Of his time was spent in China, Japan,
the Philippines and in France and Eng
land.
Mr.. Aspden was in Japan a short
time after the break In the silk market,
which threw the business and financial
circles of that country into panic con-
ditions. with widespread effect on other
world markets. The strength Japan Is
showing in weathering the storm. de-
cleres Mr.. Aspden, is indicative OF her
underlying soundness.
1.-THE commencement of the panicky
situation In Japan found many manu-
facturers overproduced and warehouses
filled with goods that could not be sold
at prices asked, and the banks were
generally overloaned. Naturally, when
the break came many failures followed
In its wake. The result has been rather
helpful than otherwise in squeezing
much of the water and inflated values
out of Japan's Industries, as has been
the case here at home as a result OF the
Of tho last few months.
China has experienced heavy trade
depression and conditions are still very
bad. In the eight months from July
to February the value of the tael fell
from S1.02 to Sc cents and the price
of silver declined from 92la cents to
61 cents an ounce
with an Improvement In trade con-
ditions China will be a fertile field, but
American firms will have to remember
IL they want TO do their share OF bus
iness with China and Japan" said MT
Aspden, that they will have to study
carefully the likes and dlslikes OF the
people. 1t would pay any American
house that wants to do business In the
Far East to send a representative to
do nothing else but study conditions
before attempting to sell bill OF goods.
A representative could be kept In China
for three or four months at an expense
OF a few thousand dollars and the In
formation ne would bring home would
we'll repay the effort and expense and
prevent many disappointments and
losses which are sure to follow any other
method"
