Under section the government Of the
Philippines is empowered to make rules
and regulations for the disposition of pub

force and effect Of law only after they

ments
There are two sections which provide

individuals or corporations can go into the

chises is safeguarded by provisions based
on the corporation laws of Massachusetts.

| provision for a banking system, and au-
| thorizes banks Of the United States to be

Ishpeming, Mich, Jan. THE novel
spectacle of a saloon keeper embarking
in the reform business is just now Great
ing much comment and some anxiety in
this city. Thomas Flanagan, one OF the
most prominent liquor dealers in Ishpe-
ming. is out with stat ement in which he
declares that the majority OF the liquor
bonds are not worth the paper they are
written on; that the saloons make no pre-
tense Of closing at II O'Clock at night or
on Sunday, and that In addition to the
forty-six saloons there are numerous
blind pigs" where intoxicants are sold
which pay no tax.
Mr.. Flanagan has written to the attor-
ney general calling his attention to the
STRAW bonds" and has also sent letter to
Circuit Judge Stone informing him Of the
open violation of the closing law and ask
ing that steps be taken to work reform In
this regard. He vigorously scores the
city administration.

TARIFF FOR 'PINOS.
House Bill to Be Amended by the
Senate.
REMOVAL OF UNJUST FEATURES
Bill Introduced Providing IL Tempo
rary Government for the
Islands.
Now York Sun SpoclsI Service

WASHINGTON. Jan. THE Philippine
tariff bill will be amended before it is re-
ported to the senate by the Philippine
committee. Senator Lodge, the chairman
OF that committee, Senator'S Spooner and
Platt of Connecticut have had several
conferences with Secretary Root and
Lodge Will assume responsibility for
amending the bill which passed the
house, so as to prevent it from discrim-
mating against the Philippines and maxi
ing the products of that territory Of the
United States pay more to get into our
markets than they did before the Islands
were placed under the protection OF the
American flag.
The Philippine committee will reduce
the tariff on hemp, sugar, tobacco and
other Philippine products which have to
pay an export tax under the customs tariff
force last November AS this export tariff
is imposed by aUthorityIaof the United
States the members OF the committee see
no injustice to homo products by making
such reductions In the Dingley rates, as
will equalize the tariff on Philippines
products with the imports from foreign
countries.
The Dingley duty on hemp is $50 ton
and the export tax in the Philippines
amounts to $3.50 ton. The committee
will recommend an amendment to the
house bill, reducing the Dingley rate on
nemp from the PQlllpplneS 10 S1z.oO a
ton.
AS all the revenues to be collected on
Philippine imports here are to go to the
Philippine treasury instead Of into the
treasury Of the United States Senator
Lodge and other republican members Of
the Philippine committee will not at his
time attempt to go further than the
amendments suggested, but leave the
general question of tariff relations between
the Philippines and the United States for
adjustment in the general legislation
which Is to be reported from the COM
mittee.
Senator Lodge will to-day int reduce his
bill providing civil government for the
Philippines. Representative Cooper
chairman Of the insular committee of the
house, will introduce a similar bill in
that body at the same time. Governor
Taft will be in Washington the latter part
of this month, and Senator Lodges COM
mittee will take no definite action on
this general legislation for the Philip
pines until the governor can appear before
the committee.
The Philippine committee will take up
the Philippine tariff bill passed by the
house next Thursday, and the chairman
hopes to be able to report that bill with
amendments next week. What further
changes will be made in the senate will
depend upon the debate. If that is pro-
longed 1t may become necessary to make
the tariff bill an amendment to the bill
for civil government in the Philippines as
was done in legislation for Porto Rico.
