for ornaments than any other
country in the world, has decided
to outlaw war!
Everybody outlawed war a few

self to work for a trade balance that
will be favorable to both countries
when the islands obtain their full in
dependence.
Commissioner Paredes spoke at a
banquet held in his honor by the
Filipine community of Washington.
He reviewed the history Of relations
between the islands and this country,
and expressed the qualification Of his
people for the assistance given by the
United States. The commissioner
pointed out that although free trade
with America had been opposed the
policy had worked favorably for his
people. However, he said it had closed
the ports of other nations to island
exports and had made the islands
almost altogether dependent on this
country for a market. Cessation OF
free trade would have the effect OF
closing the last market to island eX-
porters, he said.
Quijano Favors Free Trade.
The abolition of free trade as called
for in the Philippine independence act
had been described as inequitable
earlier by Juan R Quijano. banquet
toastmaster. He said 1t would "stran-
Gle the economic well-being and lower
the standard OF living of the people
of the Philippines" He declared, how
ever, that if Congress does not see
ft to change the act. the people OF
the islands will gladly give up their
United States market as the price
for liberty"
Referring to frequently expressed
fears that when the United States re-
leases its hold on the islands they
will be "gobbled up by Japan. Qui-
tano said his country would be willing
to fight If necessary to preserve its
independence. .

It's rather an axiom in con-
gressional circles that the surest
way for a man in public life to
kill his chances of advancement
is to try for the Senate after a
very short time in the House.
The records show that in the
majority of cases the voters are
perfectly willing to put a man
back in the House. but figure
that he's getting a little upstage
when he tries for the Senate
after only a few years as a Rep
resentative.
With this thought in mind House
leaders, including Speaker Bank
head who formed an affection for
young Josh Lee, warned him not
to give up his chance of returning
to the House by sticking his neck
out in race against Senator Gore.
Representative Lee has reputa-
tion of being one of the most able
orators in the nation. His reply
to his advisers was that he was
going out and speak to every per-
son in Oklahoma that would listen
to him and if he couldn't be elected
by doing that it would be just too
bad.
The results proved that he knew
his State a good deal better than
did the veteran. He beat out the
blind Senator in the primaries and

Improved Machinery

If there is way to improve the tax collecting ma
chnery of the District local residents who frequently
annoyed and sometimes downright irked at the present
system, will insist that it be adopted.
It is for this that extraordinary interest at
taches to the proposal of Mr. Rufus s. Lusk for modern
zng the equipment and changing the procedure of tax
billing and collecting.
Mr. Lusk is member of the committee which the Dis
trct Commissioners have appointed study the matter
and is also secretary of the Washington Taxpayers AS
sociation.
Taxpaying at best pleasant job for the average
citizen
When he encounters difficulties NTH the tax Of
fice is confused by UariOus bIs fails to get proper
reminders of taxes due and overdue, the taxpayers
job becomes eUen more unpleasant.
Mr. Lusk has studied the modern machinery for keep
ing tax accounts and for billing those accounts in in
various cities.
He feels that it would be possible to use these modern
methods in the National Capital thereby making the
payers lot little easier.
IF THIS MACHINERY CAN BE ADAPTED TO USE
HERE AND IF 1T WOULD ACCOMPLISH HALF THE
GOOD THAT MR.. LUSK THINKS IT WOULD ACCOM-
PLISH 1T SHOULD BY ALL MEANS BE INSTALLED
IN THE DISTRICT BUILDING.
Mr. Lusk believes that not only will the citizen be bet
ter satisfied the machinery is obtained but that
better collections will result and the total cost of col
lecting will be reduced.
The taxpayer will wait and earnestly hope for favor
able action by the committee and subsequently by the
Commissioners.
While the committee is celebrating this proposal
of Mr. Lusk might also give thought to the suggestion
advanced some time ago that division be established
in which taxsavings accounts could be set up.
Plans similar to this are in effect in many commun-
ties and in some have made for prompt payment
of taxes well easing the burden the taxpayers
It is in effect paying taxes on the nstallment plan
though the small instaments would be payable in
advance of the due date of the taxes.
LINKED WITH MODERN BILLING AND COL
LECTION SYSTEM, THE SAVINGS ACCOUNT PLAN
HAS DECIDEDLY CHEERFUL POSSIBILITIES AND
IS CERTAINLY WORTHY OF DELIBERATI0N ON
THE PART OF THE TAX COMMITTEE.
