support his view. Yet the irrigation
measure is. generally speaking, almost
identical in legal form with many
other far more Objectionable bills

gress without a suggestion Of doubt

enough farm products to seriously in
terfere with the agricultural industry

= ECRETARY ROOTS instructions
- TO Governor Taft on the eve of
his departure from Rome to consult
with the pope regarding the lands of
the friars in the Philippines, show
that Tafts mission is a pure matter
of business, nothing else. Great tracts
OF lands have been held by the friars
for years under Spanish control of the
Philippines and since the American
occupancy. The friars have dispensed
charity and conducted educational af-
fairs in a manner entirely satisfactory
to Spain, but at variance with the
best American ideals, which demand
an entire separation of church and
state.
Governor Taft goes to see the pope,
the temporal head Of the church, to
confer regarding the sale of the friars'
lands to the government. on its face
the transaction seems to be a perfectly
proper one. No question Of religion is
involved and no affairs of state. The
pope is to be seen because he is the
recognized authority. He can and viii
decide the terms of the surrcnde. of
the lands. It is right that the friars
should be reimbursed for their prop
erty. They own it, or their chur1A
owns it, by virtue of grants from the
government Of Spain and Il is theirs
as absolutely as is the property owned
by British subjects residing III Ma
Mia.
Governor Taft is given authority to
conclude the transaction on whatever
terms he may deem proper, subject to
/ review by the legal authorities. The
purchase of the lands by this govern
ment will make it possible to throw
them open to entry and settlement il
hostilities in the islands are ever con-
cluded. AS the policy of the admin
istration is to hold the Philippines as
an imperial colony it is simply being
consistent when il proposes to buy the
/ territory owned by the church.
/ The EansactiOn, however, need have
no effect on the ultimate independence
/ Of the Filipinos. Should the time come
when the United States grants them
a government Of their own with an
American prOtectorate, the friars
/ lands can easily be paid for by the
: Filipinos through direct taxation, Gus
! toms receipts or in some other way
I In any event it is desirable that GOV
ernor Taft's mission should prove sue
