Arguments In Southern Power company's petition be fore the corporation commission ended at 7 o'clock tonight with Zeb Taylor climaxing In a panegyrio to the wiiard J. B. Duke and a philippic against Jo aephu Daniels. The Taylor speech, the final In three day of great oratory, was the greatest of them all- In sustained power. Upon aim fell the task assigned to K. T. Cansler and the little captain of the Duke Interests in the state mad a pecb that Cansler has rarely equalled when ths Issues were life and death. They 4r Say limd he uttered at time terrific sentences. Spot In the two and a half hour reached high elo quence. It would have been a masterly Jury effort. Of facts and statistic and dryness to society there were days, but It took Taylor to put the historical Imagina tion on the Duke development of Caro lina's purling waters. In one of his fancies he scored his mightiest point. The respondents had wondered why the appraisals of these great proper ties by the company itself differed o from the estimates of experts who cal culated to a sleety the cement, mortar, the brick, landa. timbers and mater ials which make a hydro-electric plant, Taylor soared. He had atood reverent and subdued before the Sis tine Madonna, before Michael Angelo's David and Imagined one of these prac tical minded men Inquiring what all of It is worth: asking the cost or paint and brush and cloth, of rude mar ble out of which had been carved these forma of beauty and awe, the wear and tear on the artiBts' tools. He did not need to say any more. Any dullard could see that James B. Duke's work had been putting the Raphael and Mlohiel Angelo touch to dead forms. It was this sort of speaking which charmed the small circle in the com mission room and gave to the Taylor speech a place of Its own. He adverted to the newspapera which1 habitually Interpreted his company's plana to ex pand conditional on the rates asked for as a threat. He laughed at the other threats discussed by Brooks and Jones. One other he seemed to see. It was that contained In the morning paper which he construed to mean the outright bawling by name of the com missioners If they do not decide the Issues as the paper sees them. Then addressing himself to the editor Mr. Taylor said: "His dislikes sink deep into his breast without hope of extrication. And 1 would be a coward If I did not refer to It." This was his final sentence. A sharp. ..n,ie Hniini. He had come over manv paths to this end.

The de bate will be continued tomorrow but a vote 1 expected by supporters nefor adjournment at night. For five and a half hours the debate proceeded today and was marked by a dramatlo contribution on the part of Bourke Cockran, Democrat, New York, a veteran of other years who Is again In Congress. Asserting that danger lies ahead in a policy of attempting to eure all the country's Ills by legislation, Mr. Cockran predicted "long lines of fam ishing men and women In front of' aoup houses ere present conditions pas," I apprehend," Mr. Cockran aald, "that when those lines do form, a they surely will, they will not stand In silent submission a they have done before.

Mr. Cockran' speech followed on the heel of plea of Chairman Fordney, Representative Young, of North Da kota, and other Republicans for unified stand by their party in sup port of th meaaure. During the debate, Representative Treadway, Republican, Massachusetts, who opposed the bill In the last Con gress, announced his support of the proposition this time, explaining that there were ' aeveral reasons wny a man who voted against It before could vote for It now, chief among them the guiding advice of our great leader, the Prealdent.

Tax question entered Into the di cuaalon several times and Repreaen tative Frear, Republican, Wiconin, vigorously attacked the proposed salea tax. He was followed by Representa tive Longworth, Republican, Ohio, who said that "Mr. Frear Is no more op posed to the sale tax than I am." Mr. Fordney took occasion to reply to statements in the minority report which he said did him "a very great In justice." He referred to the chargea that he favored the bill because of pri vate commercial connections. GUM N EFt EDWARD COX AWARDED THE CO WGR SESSIONAL MBDAli Washington, April 14.

There can be no omnibus buildings bill at this ses sion of Congress and whether there will he a bill next winter depends upon the condition of the treasury at the time. Representative John W. Langley, of Kentucky, ohalrman of the house com mittee on buildings and grounds. In formed the Patty News oorrespondent today that there was rro prospect of a bill at this session. Mr. Langley had talked with President Harding about It and the Prealdent shook his head. Mr. Harding reminded the Kentucky mem ber that the nation Is staggering un der heavy taxes, the war burdens are now beginning really to be felt, and that about all th construction the oountry could do 1st the near future would be the oonstruotlon of hospital for soldier. It will take approximately 186,000.. 000 to make the soldier comfortable, Mr. Langley estimated. This repreaenta about two average public buildings ap propriations bill. "I know aomethlng about the sttua. tlon at Greensboro and Aehevllle," aid Mr. Langley., "Additional accom modations undoubtedly are needed. 1 told the Prealdent that there were many cities and towns that have out grown their DOstofflce facilities and are desperately in need of relief.

Thl bill did not material! at the pat lon and Mr. Langley say there 1 no propeot for It at this session. , If th Langley committee were ai- to hrtna- out a bill there I no doubt that Greensboro, at least, would be recognixed and given a tructur costing around a million dollar.
