utive of the Philippine Common'
wealth. In his alert and versatile
personality embraces the political
experience of Spanish, American
and Filipino regimes.
His residence, appropriately, Is an
edifice in which tradition, architect
ture and decoration combine to re
flect the spirit and the accomplish'
ments of the successive administra
tions which have controlled the PU
lDlno people.
The correspondent was Invited to
stay at Malacanang palace during
the visit of the transpacific press

EXPERT STUDIES
CORPORATE TAX
New Haven, Nov. 36 U.R Despite
the corporate surplus tax, corpora
tions still can build up reserves.
cording to Benjamin Graham, Co
lumbia university's lecturer in II
nance and president of the Orham-
Newman Investment Corporation.
Corporations, he says, can capital'
Ize any desired part of their earnings
either by paying taxable stock divi
dends or by other readily available
devices. Graham asserts that since
the act should work no fundamental
change in corporate fiscal policies, he
will not be Impaired. He also antlcl-
believes the position of bondholders
pates that the law will haw a
healthful effect on stockholder-man
agement relations, since It would
curtail numerous advantages fre
quently gained by Insiders through
manipulating dividend policies, and
since the advantage of retaining
earnings rather than selling new
stock accrues more to the manage,
saent than to the stockholders.
According to Oraham, the stat
ute's only objectionable features are
not In the principle of the tax, but
la numerous "unfair details" of ap
plication.
On of these unfair details rests
ta the fact that the act places all

tag as compared with partners. An
ironical aspect of the provision
which effects this result Is that it
was absent m the house bill as orig
inally drawn and was only Inserted
after business leaders, Inveighing
against the act, eonrlnced congress
that the desired tax yield could only
be realised by retaining, the time
tried corporation tax. Thus, "bust

Major Furuta, a dispatch from
Tientsin, China, said, tried to kill
himself because, as ranking officer
at Bhanhalkwan, he accepted re

NATURAL FUEL GAS
IS NOT POISONOUS
Los Angeles UB Exhaustive
testa made by scientists at the Uni
versity of Southern California re
teal that natural gas used by com
panies of California Is non-polson-ous
and harmless.
For the past six months, secret
tests have been made by the scien
tists on themselves, also on rats snd
monkeys. Under the direction of
Dr. D. R. Drury. professor of medi
cine, subjects remained In a virtu
ally air-tight chamber filled with
natural gas for two hours without
111 effects.
They played earns, read and
lounged about as In their own liv
ing rooms, doing almost everthlng
but smoking.
"The only danger from this type
of gas," Dr. Drury explained, "re
sults when In concentrations diffi
cult to obtain, a person Is threat
ened with suffocation through lack
of air. The accumulation of car
bon monoxide In a closed room
caused by unvented heaters or faul
ty furnaces has been the cause of
danger."
More severe tests were nude with
monkeys and rats. Except for a
slight loss In weight, the latter were
found to be normal after a 31-day
test In atmosphere with 3D per cent
concentration of natural gas. Rats
kept In the same chamber for 31
days mated and gave birth to nor
mal offspring. All but one gained
weight during the test.
COUE FORMULA
HAS REVISION
Montreal K The happiest man
In the world Is visiting Montreal.
He Is Jesn Ollven, Paris publish
er, and dlclple of Emlle Coue,
French druggist, whose formula for
happiness was chanted throughout
the world 10 years ago. The formu
la consists of repeating over and
over again that you are happy un
til you convince yourself that you
are.
Ten years ago thousands of Coue s
disciples went about chanting "Every
day In every way, I'm getting better
and better. Today, according to
Ollven, the chant is slightly differ
ent. Now one says: "Prom all points
of view I feel better today than yes
terday."
The basis of happiness is conquest
of self, according to Ollven'a theory.
It leads to conquest of ambition and
Jealousy. It makes It possible for a
man to regret nothing, to want noth
ing, and to live for today and never
worry about the morrow.
"Put It In your mind," he advises,
that tomorrow will never come, be
cause It will always be today. Treat
your body like a machine. Look after
It, dont overwork It. Try to improve
yourself morally and physically and,
above all, keep your chin up. Then
you'll be happy."
FARM INCOMES
IN FAR WESTERN
STATES HIGHER
San Francisco, Nov! 36 UPh-Farm
Incomes In the 11 far western states
were 13 per cent higher In September
this year than last, the federal de
partment of agriculture figures
showed today.
The federal computation, based
i 36 products, fell considerably
short of covering the great diversity
of western production. Nevertheless
it gave a total farm Income for the
month of 1136,566,000 compared with
1123,353,000 In September. 1035.
The September 1930 Income was
more than 63 millions higher than
In September 1333. This gain In 3
years was about 60 per cent.
The far west's farm Income for the
first three-quarters of the year was
up 16 per cent from last year. It
amounted to 3340,433,000 compared
with 3731,381.000 In the like t months
of 1036. In 1934, the 9 months pn'
duced some 696 millions farm In
come, and In 1933 about 607 millions.
Continuation of the 16 per cent
rate of gain over last year during the
remaining 3 months would give the
far west a total 1936 farm Income of
more than II .348,000.000.
Increased sales of potatoes, barley.
fruits and vegetables, as well as high,
er prices, and larger receipts from
sale of livestock, boosted the far
western Income.
The west's gains were smaller on
a percentage basis than those for
the nation as a whole, which gained
16 per cent In September and IB
per cent for the 9 months period.
The 11 states accounted for about 16
per cent of the national farm In
come of $5,234,000,000 estimated for
the 9 months.
All states but Montana bettered
the 1935 figures for the 9 months by
a considerable margin. In Montana
the drought-blasted wheat crop
showed Its effects, and left the state
with only a negligible gain for the
period. September figures recorded
declines under last year for Mon
tana, Utah and Washington.
Montana's September Income
dropped back almost to the 1934
level, or to 113,776,000 from 316,443,
000 In the 1935 month. For the 9
months It wss 348,338,000 against
348,813.000 last year.
Washington cash receipts dipped
to 116.064,000 from 116.913,000 for
September, but gained to 397,588,000
from 189.930,000 for the 9 months.
Idaho's $9,506,000 farm Income In
September compared with $9,056,006
last year: for 9 months $59,629,000
against $53,488,000 last year.
Oregon reported $10,699,000 for
September, against $8,754,000: 9
months $63,762,000 against $52,131,-000.

TREES TESTED
FOR ARID LAND
Washington (LP) Seven species of
broadleaf trees are recommended
by the department of agriculture
for windbreak planting In the nor
thern great plains, where scanty
moisture and extremes In tempera
ture make tree life difficult.
The seven species were selected
from 18 tested for 30 years. They
are Chinese elm, green ash, choke
berry, boxelder, Siberian pea-tree,
buffaloberry and American plum.
Tests were begun in 1914 at Man
dan, N. D., and plantings were
completed In 1917. A few years aft
er planting, the willows, poplars
and birches began to die and most
of them were gone by 1928. Al
though the Norway poplar survived
better than other poplars, It cannot
be recommended when moisture Is
scanty.
Failures cf early settlers to grow
trees In the northern great plains
prompted the department to Inves
tigate shelterbelt planting In 1914.
Although the department points
out that the seven recommended
trees may not be the only broad-

are the only ones with a good record
