Governor Taft Says It Can Be Re-
duced This Year.
THINKS 1900 men SUFFICIENT
He Also Thinks the DingIey Tariff
Should Be Reduced.
IS OVERTAXED

SAN FRANCISCO. January 22.-Regard-
ing a standing army in the Philippines.
Governor Taft is reported by the Call to
have said: Fifteen thousand men will be
an ample force in the islands before the
close of the year. I was told this only
few days before 1 came away. Officers
thoroughly versed in the situation gave
me the figures.
"I will explain to you how peace can be
maintained in the islands. We have or
ganized a native constabulary, which is
working effectively Congress anows to
maintain a constabulary of 5000 men.
They are under the command of Major AL
len, who has already enlisted $500 men in
this branch of the service. When the force
is fully organized the men will be distrib-
uted In the provinces, 15O men to each
province The detachments of constables
are commanded by four officers, three of
whom are retired volunteer officers and
the other native Filipino. When the
constabulary is fully equipped it will be
detailed in the field to clean out the
These Filipino constables can be maintain
ed by the government at cost of $3.50 each
per year, while the soldiers in the islands
cost Uncle Sam about 81, 900 head
Concerning Free Trade.
81 know that the Pacific coast people
would ike TO see free trade instituted De-
tween this country and the islands, said
the governor, but am sorry to say that
cannot see how it would work
The civil government adopted a tariff
schedule which is working we'll, but our in
ternal revenue receipts are not large.
When you tax a country too heavily you
spoil it. and that is the situation in the
Philippines.
I'VE have asked that the Dingley tariff
be reduced for the products of the islands
at least 80 per cent. We hope that Con-
gress will be as generous to the Philippines
as it was to Porto Rico. The reduction of
the Dingley tariff will mean the opening
up of a large market for tobacco and sugar
Of the islands, well for other products
there. Hemp you need and are buying in
greater quantities every day. By so reduc-
ing the Dingley tariff a good market for
the Pacific coast will be opened up
No Serious Clash With Military.
Governor Taft said there had been no
serious clash with the military authorities,
and declared that the best of good feeling
existed between himself and General Chat
fee.
This evening Governor Taft will be the
guest of honor at a reception to be ten
dered him by the Union League Club, in
which the chamber Of commerce, board of
trade and other organizations VII join.

contributed TO the county road fund an
average of $500 more than has been ex-
pended the roads within the limits of

Secretary Root received a personal tele-

governor of the Philippines, announcing
his safe arrival at San Francisco, much
improved in health,'' and saying that he
will leave for Washington this evening.

his family in Cincinnati, and that he would
himself spend two or three days in that
city, unless the Secretary thought he should
come direct to Washington.
In response Secretary Root informed Gov
ernor Taft that he was delighted to hear
of his Improvement in health, and said
there was no reason why he should not
spend few days at his home in Cincin-
natl. In view, however, of the fact that
Philippine legislation Is being actively con-
sidered by congressional committees, the

for Governor Taft to arrange his plans
so as to arrive in Washington the latter
part of next week, in order to give the
committees the benefit of his information
