ON GENERAL PRINCIPLES
Democrats Will Oppose Philippine
Tariff Measure.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Car
mack has submitted minority report
from the committee on Philippines on
the Philippine tariff bill. 1t says that
opposition to the measure is not based
on any mere question of revenue or any
theory concerning forms and principles
of taxation, but because the bill violates
constitutional rights and tranScends the
limits of constitutional power. The OBJ
lection of the minority is to the whole
policy of colonial empire, to the control
by this government of yassal provinces,
to the spirit of military aggression and
of war for the sake of spoils. The re-
port says that the bill reported by the
majority of the committee is a charac-
teristic manifestation of such a policy
and spirit.
