Other Recommendations

The commission propose to settle
the vexed question of land titles by
legislation providing for the sale OF
public lands upon the home stead prin-
ciple and the payment through bond
issue of the price Of the lands now
held by the religious orders. \ so per
cent. reduction in the tariff on Philip
pine imports into the United States
would. it is said. increase our trade by
leaps and bounds. Other recomme nda-
tions are, in substance, that the pres
ent system Of timber cutting under
license be continued; that mining and
Incorporation laws be passed; that the
commission be permitted to confer
charters upon railways, and 10 aid
them by grants Of lands or guarantee
ing low interest upon the investments
probably the total obligation would
not exceed 81 ,0O0): that laws be
passed providing for coinage, on the
gold standard with local silver cur
rency, and for a system OF national
banks and land mortgage banks.
