Nobody will wonder at the bitterness
OF Aguinaldo and his Philippine insur-
gents after reading the report made by
Consul Williams regarding the Spanish
methods of taxation in the Philippines.
Secretary Gage, at President McKin-
ley's request, has drawn up tentative
plan of taxation under American meth
DDS, and he calculates that under Just
system the Philippines viii pay an an
nual revenue OF $3.0OO,OOO. Place this
side by side with the fact that Spain
has wrung an annual revenue of 800
100000 from these islands. and there il
no longer any cause to wonder at the
3ierceness of the present revolt The
wonder is. rather. that the natives did
not rise up long ago en- masse. The
Spaniards have maintained one tax
collector for every forty inhabitants. A
poll tax Of from So to $50 on every man,
and from $3.50 TO Sl4 on every woman,
was assessed annually. Then every
thing inside and outside their huts was
taxed. A man was taxed for permis-
sion to plant his crops and he was tax
ed for the privilege of picking even the
cocoanuts from the trees in his door
yard.
