AGUINALDO'S VIEWS.
Philippines Government Should
Conform to Constitution.

Manila, May IL, 5:35 p. n.-General
Mascardo. with 32s men, has surrend-
cred to Capt Joseph P. O'Neil, of the
Twenty-fifth infantry, at San Ana
tonia, Zambales province.
Aguinaldo, in an interview with the
correspondent of the Associated Press
today. expressed the opinion that the
American government of the Philip
pines, in order to be unquestionably
satisfactory should conform strictly to
the constitution. Asked whether he
considered the FIlipinos capable of ex-
ercising all the privileges guaranteed
by literal Interpretation and applica-
ton Of. the constitution, he declined to
express an opinion
Concerning the political and CONNER
cial future of the archipelago Aguinaldo
was reserved. He said it was hardly
time to discuss it while in what he con-
sidered captivity. The military Off
Gals say he is kept guarded principal
ly for his own protection. AguinaldO
says that he knows of no enemies,
needs no protection and is willing to go
out unattended if permitted to do so.
He is pleased with the municipal law
comforting full local self-government.
Concerning the provincial law, by
which the governor is only an elective
officer, Aguinaldo was uncommuni-
cative.
1t is not expected that Aguinaldo will
continue to be prominent in Philippine
affairs, though his friends concede his
exceptional abilities for leadership
Next week the balance of the First in
fantry will proceed to the island of
Sanar. Squadrons of the Ninth and
Tenth cavalry will also be sent to
Samar.
Nine new American judges called on
General Macarthur today. The general
said their duties were of greater i'm
portance than those of any officer
which preceded them. He commended
the establishment of laws and just ju-
dietary ahead of the coming CONNER
cial activity

TAX COMPARISONS.
State Commission Finds How
Burdens Are Distributed.

In its grubbing around to find out how
to relieve the tax ills of Kansas the state
tax commission has had tabulated a
statement showing the annual assessed
valuation of lands, city and town lots,
personal and railroad property from the
beginning of its history to date.
The averages struck in the table, which
was compiled from the auditors reports
by the secretary of the commission.
George B. Munson, show the relative
proportion of the tax of the state which
the various kinds of property have
borne. Lands have carried three-sixths
OF the burden, city and town lots, per-
sonal property and railroad property
each One-sixth of it. In figures the aver
age per cent of taxation of the total
assessed valuation during this period Of
forty years has been: Lands .5371, city
and town lots .176S, personal property
1881, railroads 1434
Such things as the fact that personal
property valuations have shown steady
decrease in the assessments and reach
ed their lowest mark last year are shown
in the table and summary. In 1861 the
total assessed property valuation was on
lands, $1,720.00 town lots, 81, no, 000
Lands jumped up to $13, ,O00, 900 the next
year. The 1900 assessment figur es were:
Lands, $163, ,361, 613; town lots, $61, ,377 091;
personal $56. .62S, PA; railroads, $50, PA $50.
In summary the assessed valuation Of
land has amounted, practically. to one
half the total assessed valuation of the
taxable property of the state. The year
1y average per cent of the valuation of
land, based upon the total assessed val
uatiOn of all the property in the state
during the period Of time from 1861 to
1900 inclusive is 1911. The maximum
was in the year 1863, when the valua-
ton reached 1905. In the years 1862 and
1864 the percentage reached was .7243
and $685.. respectively. In no other years
has the percentage run as high as go per
cent The minimum per cent, .4S06 is
for the year 1900.
For town and city lots the yearly
average of assessed valuation has been
176S of the total assessed valuation the
extremes being 1214 in the year 1873,
and .2162 in the year 1891.
During the years from 1861 to 1872 the
railroad valuation has been carried with
the assessed valuatio of the personal
property and the exact proportion of
each cannot be ascertaihed- From the
years 1873 to 1880, inclusive, the audi
tors reports show the valuation of the
personal property in the state to average
1877 of the total valuation. From 1881
to 1890 the percentage increased to 1850
while from 1891 to 1900, inclusive, the
percentage decreased to 1873. The aver
age for the entire twenty-eight years
covered by these figures is 1881. Maximum
2380 in the year 1884; minimum .1062 in
the year 1895.
AS to railroads, of the total assessed
valuation of the state in the year 1873
when they were first assessed separate
The yearly average from that time to
1900, including both years mentioned.
is 1434 The maximum was reached in
the year 1885, when the railroads were
assessed at 1850 per cent of the total
valuation.
