The market itself was invaded and
many thousands of dollars worth of
meats. poultry, butter, eggs and
vegetables were either swept into
the river and carried away or SO
covered with mud and slime as to be
unfit for use.
Hundreds of crates Of peaches and
thousands of large Watermelons and
cantaloupes were borne away on the

prepares and approves the budget
before the governor general sends
it to the legislature. 1t advises the
governor general on important mat
tiers. 1t decides upon policies of
the different departments of the
Filipino government
That is, the Council of State did
those things under Harrison. Under
General Wood it's Importance has
been greatly diminished, for he has
largely ignored it's advisory powers
and usurped much of its actual
powers.
The crisis was caused, however,
by the action of Governor Wood in
ignoring the rights and preroga-
tives of the Secretary of the In
terror. The members of the
Council of State resigned in pro-
test against his specific action in
reinstating Ray Conley, a city
secret service agent, who had been
suspended for alleged grating.
Conley had been acquitted by
Judge Imperial, a Filipino, on the
ground that the evidence did not
convict him beyond all doubt. The
court observed, however, that Con-
ley's conduct was not above sus-
picion. Conley refused to answer
many questions on the ground that
the answers might incriminate him
in matters not involved in the case
then on trial. Mayor Fernandez op-
posed his reinstatement. He was
supported by Secretary of Interior
Laurel. They took the attitude the
evidence had revealed Conley as a
type of man unsuitable for con-
tinued public service; that the evil
dence and the statement of the
court had been such as to deprive
him of public confidence. Fernandez
and Laurel conscientiously believed
Conley guilty and their opposition
to reinstatement was supported by
practically the entire native press.

issue OF the election.
"The voters in that election clearly
showed that they want this long de-
aged debt paid without further de-
lay. For the last four years delay
has been asked on the ground that
the nation did not have the money to
pay its debt. The facts are that the
treasury figures given the senate
finance committee show that for the
first three years the soldiers bill will
cost only $S0000,000 a year-only
one-fourth of the secretary's proposed
tax reduction of 1923, 0OO,00 a year.

opposition to the soldiers bonus as ex-
pressed in his message to congress

would enact the bonus bill in spite of

"that President Coolidge has been

you'd not oppose it at time when
even its avowed opponents admit that
the national finances are more than
sufficient to meet it.
"The idea Of adjusting the veterans
compensation originated with con
gress, and the American Legion and
the former service men are confident
that congress and the American PEG.
