I would like to see harmony existing in the matter of developing newspapers, which Is essential to spreading the gospel of unionism, and believe cates which carry a guaranteed interest of 6 per cent and h0 be pdoPthe also two special payments decided on by the directors of the J most good, and in this way create Company.

T y-Jzl choice of basis and under present conditions, "market reflect more accurately tbe state of business conditions. To require inventories 'at a cost higher than "market," it was added, would be to put a tax on Investment rather than on income. Under ordinary- circumstances, "market" Is definedy tbe regu lations as meaning the current bid price prevailing at the date of the inventory for the particular mer chandise in the volume in which ordinarily purchased by tbe tax payer. The regulations, however, further provide that where, owing to abnormal circumstances the tax payer has regularly sold such mer chandise at prices lower than the current bidpr!ce. the inventory may be valued at such prices. Inventories of tax payers on whatever basis taken will be sub ject to investigation, the revenue bnreau announced, and tax payers mast satisfy the bureau of the correctness of tbe prices adopted. Taxpayers are permitted under the regulations to value their in ventories at cost or market which ever is lower, regardless of past practice, but in tbe future a change will only be permitted with the consent of the bureau.

Isauro Gabaldon, one of the Philippine commissioners resident in the United States, tonight categori cally denied "the statement sent broadcast by opponents of Tbil Iippine independence that . we neither want nor demand any thing but guaranteed inde pendence." He was addressing the Filipino club of New York on the 21th anniversary of the death of Dr. Jose Rizal. a Philippine mar tyr. "Senate President . Quezon, Comm'Hsit.ucr de Veyra and iny self hare ronrratedly stated that we are willing to accept indepen dence under any of the following forms: Under a league or asso ciation of nat-ic-ns; under an Am erican protectorate; nnder a trea ty of. neutrality among the great powers, or absolute and complete independence without strings." said Gabraldon. ( "We have no especial fear cf Japan because Ph'llipine indepen dence, in our opinion, is not in imical to Japan. The Japan? are now free to come to the Phillipines. but there are les than 7.000 in the entire Archi pelago, only one twelfth as many as in California alone. There are not a few who prt-fes to b- lieve that Japan riews the PhJl lipines as an American possession as a distinct menace to her from a military standpoint, and that the American flag in tbe Phillip Jnes will bring the Japanese w' dier to our shores far quicker than the Fillipino flag. "All I can bay with reference to this matter is that it y. are granted our independence, we will endeavor to dwil honorably with our neighbor. Japan, just i with all other countries, and we will then view the future with confid ence in humanity.

The senate irreconcilable bad their big Inning today in Presldent ?lect Harding's "meeting of minds' and their spokesman went away from Marion dclr- Inr uubounded confidence that no foundation timbers for the new association of nations would lie taken from the covenant of Ver sailles. Senator Knox of Penn sylvania, one aerretary ' state. and throughout the treaty fight leader of the reject ion ists brought to the president-elect the warning of bitter opposition should he kttempt to revive the covenant in any form as a basis for his new peace society. "I am assured." said the Tenn sylvania senator afterwards, "that he has no such idea in mind. Mr. Harding's conference with Mr. Knox dovetailed with another of unusual importance in which tbe president-elect took up 'with his ranking political advisers. Harry M. Daugherty and Will H. Hays, the problem of cabinet ap pointments. No conclusions were revealed, but there were Indica tions that tbe two party leaders had been summoned to give final opinion on two or three of the most important posts. One of the appointments foreshadow el for the near future Is that of Secretary of State, a place for which Charles Evans Hughes is understood to be nnder serious consideration. A secretary ot tbe treasury seems likely to be named at tbe same time and speculation for that position gives greatest prom inence to tbe names of Charles G. Dawes and Jthn V. Weeks. Most or tbe other posts will be filled later and those close to Mr. Harding say that nothing like a complete cabinet slate baa been seriously considered. Plans for the Inauguration also were discussed by tbe president elect and Mrs. Haiding during tbe day with Mr. Hays. Mr. Daugherty. Senator Knox and of ficials of the Washington Inaug ural committee. Senator Knox is chairman f the congressional committee, par ticipating in arrangements for the inauguration, and It was partly to discuss that subject that he came to Marion. He also was one of those long ago selected by Mr. Harding as a conferee on the association of nations plan and the confidence reposed in his judgment by the president-elect has led to frequent mention of his name as a possible head of the state department. , Other circumstances surround ing the visit, however, clothed it with peculiar significance. Rum blings of apprehensions have been heard more than once in the camp of the senate irreconcilables. as Mr. Taft. Mr. Hoover and other friends of the Versailles league succeeded one another at the pre sident-elect's council table or pub licly expressed confidence that tbe Versailles covenant would be the foundation of a new peace plan Fresh from conferences with nis colleagues. Mr. Knox is un derstood to have pictured' to the president-elect in graphic fashion the possibilities ot a new faction al fight should the new adminis. tration ask the senate to accept any sort ot memlcrship in the league.
