ON FRANCHISES

peared before the House Insular Affairs Com
mittee to-day to urge the enactment of a home
stead law for the Philippines. He said there
should be legislation to enable the Filipino TO

right was in his opinion. the cause Of much OF
the present disturbed conditions. He cited the
anti-rent riots in New-YOrk and the riots in
Ireland as evidence of what followed such de-
nial. He thought a homestead law should be
passed to permit the natives to make entry Of
one hundred acres of land as the maximum, the
local government TO fix the minimum.

amendment prohibiting the cutting OF timber
and the granting of franchises. He said that
industry in the islands should be promoted, not
prevented The islands needed railroads TO de-
velop their abundant resources of timber coal
and other minerals.
