Aguinaldo was better known in the United States than any other Fill pino and that the American people respected him for his honor and bravery.
 The best proof that the Ameri- can government did not intend to exploit the Philippines, said Aguin- aldo, was the fact that Governor General Leonard Wood had been sent to the Philippines. He had agreed to cooperate with the gov ernor general because he believed Wood was working for the best interests of the Philippines.
 If capital could be brought to the islands and invested without an attempt to exploit the country, Aguinaldo said he was convinced that the Filipinos would assist in encouraging foreign capital.

CORPORATION TAX
SLASH STRESSED

James e. Emery OF Washington.
general counsel Of the National AS
ISOLATION Of Manufacturers, speaking
before the Indianapolis Traffic Club

reduction of corporate taxation as
means Of aiding industry.
Taxation on the corporation is
taxation on the stockholders, of
which 1t is estimated there are 90.

declared.
"By heavy taxation a man is dis
couraged in investigating his money
In stocks which would promote in
dustry when he can place It in ordi-
nary channels and have it taxed less
than half Of the rate on corpora
tons"
Emery also stressed the national
situation and the necessity OF imme-
date tax relief.
"It must be evident that reform
in the Federal field presents no per
manent gain If local taxes are to
rise more rapidly than Federal taxes
fall or local indebtedness increases
more rapidly than we can diminish

ANDERSON, Ind, Dec. 2.-Mayor
Francis Williams today denied that
he had appointed Robert I. Marsh.
law partner of Governor Jackson, to
obtain a $4,000 loan from the mu-
nicapally owned light plant.
William said Marsh was appointed
to assist the city attorney in rate
case pending at the time before the
public service commission, in which
the light plant was interested.
The Mayor said Marsh was re-
tanned by himself and the board Of
public works, which manages the
plant, and he was paid out of the
plants funds and not out Of the gen.
eral fund of the city.
Marsh received $1,000 in fees.
His appointment was held illegal
by some here in view of the State
law which prescribes that all assist
ant city attorneys must be named by
ordinance.
The city council has passed no
ordinance appointing Marsh.
