Filipino Protest

ing Filipinos. Doubtless your
intelligent readers, and I am
an enthusiastic digester Of your
paper, if they were to Judge the
brown race according to your
opinion on the Philippine prob
lem, would think that all the
Filipinos were hateful.
The fact is they are friendly,
hospitable, peaceful, industrious,
and liberty-loving people. They
have never shown any sign Of
hatred to the American people
since 1898, after they discerned
the good intentions of the United
States. Today the Filipinos ap-
preciate all the progress they
have made and the reasonable
standard of living they have
attained under the tutelage of
Uncle Sam.

Marry-Go-
Round
BY HELEN ROWLAND

BY HELEN NOWAACSO
THE modern young couples
l. seem to enter matrimony as
they do the theater-and imme-
diately look around for the near
est exit.
A bachelor is as shy as a wild
rabbit; he manages to keep
three jumps ahead Of the mod
ern Diana; but, if caught alive,
he resigns himself cheerfully to
his fate and becomes sweetly do
meSticated.
Many a kiss that a woman re-
members with a thrill is one
that a man remembers with a
shrug and a smile-because he
managed to escape!
Just because a man wears a
visored cap is no sign that he
owns a yacht; and just because
q girl wears an engagement ring
is no sign that she will get the
man all the way to the altar.
II Il II
A modern man doesn't ask
much of a woman. He wants
"just a sweet, old-fashioned girl"
with all the pep Of a debutante,
all the economic independence
of business girl, and all the
fascination and sophistication of
a screen beauty. Just a sweet,
little miracle!
Some husbands make good,
brave, reliable "watchdogs"-
but awfully poor house pets.
Marriage is something about
which men are curious at 20,
skeptical at 80 and cynical at 40.
u i y
The first thing that experience
teaches a wife is that truth is
just about as necessary as salt;
but that the best results are OBJ
tanned by using either of them
sparingly.

public expression from the
White House on the run for
what was advertised as just "a
casual talk" about everything in
particular and nothing in gen.
eral. However, Mr.. Barkley, as
you may have noticed, took oc-
casion to announce afterward
that the new tax bill would be
passed next session, not now.
The headlines said: "RooSe-

them is that the President is

parties here again change their
minds.
Thus proceeds the uncer-
tainty of life and legislation in
confused and confusing Wash
ington, into which you will
never get a sharper glance than
afforded by what happened on
taxes.
OHARP Senator Tom Connally
~ swears he saw it with his own
eyes. He was in the Vice Presi-
dents office after lunch, and
had not even had a second cup
of coffee. He came to talk about
legislation but found Mr.. Gar
ner preoccupied.
To Connally's amazement, the
v. P. took off his coat and vest.
Then he shed his trousers. Next
he took off his shoes. From
under his desk he pulled out a
box and extracted some curious
raiment which clearly was not
q cowboy costume. After much
grunting and some compare
lively mild exclamationS, he
managed to get on what looked
to Connally like pair of check
cred English hunting pants
which Connally had once seen in
a magazine advertisement. Then
came a pair of hunting boots,
a scarlet hunting cap, and an
apology because the red hunt
ing shirt was left at the hotel.
logged out finally, the v. P.
paraded around the office, 81
lently, until Connally remarked
it was certainly an elegant scar
let-topped outfit and would un-
doubtedly be just the thing for
the deer hunt with Senator Guf-
fey in Pennsylvania this week.
At least, said Connally depart
ing, it will be all right provided
the hunters do not encounter a
bull.
The v. P. seemed satisfied,
took off his hunting outfit, put
his street clothes back on.
Note-Without this outfit, on
his sixty-fifth birthday, he shot
a buck near Uvalde, at $50

nothing around the cloakroom

they had a very definite agree
ment with Mr.. Roosevelt where
by the tax revision bill would
be reported to the House Janu-
ary IS, and no sooner. This
understanding was the out
growth of a conference discus
sion at the White House.
During that discussion, Mr..
Roosevelt was informed it would
be downright dangerous to rush
through a modification of the
corporate tax, just for psycholo-
gical effect. Congressional tax
makers should do a careful job
that would not have to be done
over again next year. They
learned this lesson from their
adoption of the present tax last
session.
They rushed the present law
through on the say-so Of the
Treasury, and now, within nine
months, everyone, including the
Treasury and the President him.

was a mistake. This time they
wanted to do the job right.
This and more they told Mr..
R., and he agreed to allow the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee six weeks more to pre-
pare the bill-but a few days
later Messrs. Kennedy, Hopkins,
Baruch and Grayson showed up
demanding action.

We Filipinos know our capa-

upon the granting of our lib

Congress keeps on dodging the

lively gives us laws subject to
