Before you grumble about your taxes
just reflect how much worse off the ma
tives of the Philippines are. In the
Philippine Islands all males over 81
years OF age must pay poll tax that
equals about 500 of our money and the
women must pay $15. A man must pay
license to sell cocoanuts from his own
trees or indigo of his own raising.
Every article of furniture that costs
half sovereign is taxed. The curtain
never goes up at the theater unless $40
is paid to the government, and for every
act of slaughtering his own animals,
clipping his own sheep or telling his
own trees the Philippine farmer must
pay fee to the government. There is
exacted government tribute for getting
married and for being buried, and at
every step and turn Of his life the Cax
collector holds out his hands to him,
and it is not a demand that can be re.
fused. No wonder Spain wishes to keep
a possession that yields such return;
no wonder also that the last sixty years
have developed seventeen rebellions in
the Phillippines.-Lewis Journal
