doctors pronounced it q local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly falling to cure with
local treatment. pronounced it in

TO be constitutional ailment.

by F. j. Cheney & Co, Toledo, Ohio,

The Tax Dodger.
WRITTEN FOR THE ENTERPRISE.

mentioned the fact that good,
upright, honest citizen called and
discussed the tax dodger, who
said that certain man had re-
turned laud at fifty cents per
acre that was worth $40 90 per
acre. No doubt such has been
the practice in this state for
many years in the face of the oath
taken that the land is returned
at its full value.
We Yanks who came to this
colony, had lived in states where
the lands were valued by the
county authorities, subject to re-
vision by board of equalization,
and that revision subject to the
revision of a state board of equal
ization. Under such laws there
could be no $4,000 land valued at
50 cents, but every body paid a
tax on his land valued by impair
tial persons and there was no
lodging tax on land as there is in
this state where the law imposes
the duty of valuation on each in
dividual. The law behind the
oath has become a dead letter.
We found the law very differ
ent from any laws we had lived
under and, at least some of us
did, take the oath seriously, and
soon found that we we're paying
as much tax on ten acres with a
shanty on it, as the natives were
paying on hundred acre improv-
ed farm. What we're we TO do 10
avoid this gross quality?
There was nothing LETT us to do
but pay ten times as much as our
proportion of tax or regard the
oath as a huge joke just as the
native people did, and had been
doing, possibly, for generations
past.
The law has been dead too long
to be revived. Everybody has
willingly, or unwittingly violated
it. No Jury could be found,
whose mem bers, had not violated
the law. Hence the law cannot
be enforced, and as i: stands it
is unjust as to different COM
munities in the county or the
state. We pay a state and a
county tax, therefore tae law
should req uire the equalization of
the values of all real property in
state and counties according to
improvements and proximity. to
commercial centers and true
local values. These values should
remain for a period OF years I'M
changed, except as local asses
sors report Improvements on the
land.
The state auditor assesses all
railway property, equallzlng val
ues as to the different railroads.
His valuation is said to he about
ene-third the real value OF the
properties. Should all the lands
OF the state, as the oath indicates,
be placed at its full value, the
people would be paying three
times as much tax as the rail-
roads, Just as is being done
now in our own city. The wild
OW who owns house and lot That
brings her no income-serves
only as a shelter-must pay three
times her proportion of tax, as
compared with the railroads.
Neither the railroads. nor the
widow is responsible tor this I'M

responsible and should, at once,
be attacked by the Legislators,
who should give us law that will

his EXPRESSION THE Philippines for the FihP1nos
meant their independence within a reasonable
time They interpreted the phrase literally Vague
rr1rors had reached them however that since he had
left he had given public uteranceS to his convection
that it would be several generations before the
FiIipinos would be fit for self government, and at
great banquet few nights after his return with Our
partv he stated in no uncertain terms that 1mne-
date independence and the immediate establish
ment of a government of their own was Impossible.
He stated with clearness and distinctness which
could not be misunderstood that they must discard
anv idea of self-government and reconcile the1h-
selves to our control for indefinite time, ana tI
certainly independence was out OF the question:
for many generations.
All of the Fiipinos, with the exception OF those
who were holding positions under and drawing
salaries from our Government, favor government
of their own There is scarcely an exception among
them The leading men among the F1lpnos are
wonderfully bright and intelligent and have great
influence over the people. All of the leading ana
educated Filipinos outside of the official class De-
1ieve they can maintain an independent govern
rnent They give reason Tor TINS peleI thaC
their reop1e are filled with patriotism; that they
for MANY wears have been without a government OF
their own and that this patriotism would induce
them TO uphold native government. 1hey th1hk
the United States ought to enter INTO an agreement
with the other leading nations OF the World 10 pro-
tect them against the aggresS1onS OF any lolelSh
roprer while they are building up and making per
moment their own government. They admit that
there would be more or less disorder and that a
minority are not fitted for a government OF ther
own, but insist that the great majority are. ferc
sona11y do not share this view, yet 1t Is Ihe Dei0
tcb ic entertained by all their leading men, ana
it is shared by the masses of the Filipino people,
Il
rr,-a &c as wide difference between the ordinary
1i1;,ino and the intelligent and educated few as
there IS between the ordinary farm hand negro OF the
south and Booker Washington, Frederick Douglass
and the cultivated and educated negroes OF our own

his class than you can Judge the ordinary negro by

ago and that most of them are idle, they cannot
secure native labor to work their plantations
It was plain that they would not object to Chinese
labor They insisted that if granted free trade the
sugar production would not increase much and that
they would not into competition with the sugar
raised in the United States, Their argument was
that free sugar would be the means of getting tor
them better price for their sugar in Japan and
China where they sell their product, because Japan
and China knowing that they had free market IN
the United States would be induced on that account
to paw them more The price of their sugar IS now
fixed in HongkOng
Our civil government in the Philippines main
tains stoutly also that Chinese coole labor will not
be allowed to come in. The native Filipino and
the educated Filipino believe that if the Chinese
coolie is allowed to enter large corporations VIII
cultivate the lands with this labor and that their
country will quickly pass into the possession Oh
foreigners Among the masses of the people there
is a dread of the importation of cooe labor. All
the Americans in the islands, however, are most
anxious for the introduction of coo1e labor arguing
that the country will remain undeVeloped without
it. because the natives VIII not work WIFI any
SteadineSS certainty.
It looks as if as result of the visit of party,
the duty will be taken off OF sugar and tobacco
The American papers there all reJo1ced over TINS,
and at the time published IN their issues that
of course this would be quickly followed by the
introduction of coohe labor.
They have some American magazines, ana they
as well as the daily papers constantly publish
articles which show their contempt TOR the natives,
and it would seem from reading their papers and
magazines that the attempt deliberate on their
part to incense the people. For instance, While
our party was there, a weekly magazine reproduced
the proclamation of General Luna, issued shortly
after their insurrecton against the United States.
in which Luna detailed the plans for the burning
of Manila and massacre of the Americans 1t was
a brutal proclamation, yet this paper averred that
it was genuine. and gave reasons for this belief
They headed the publication with the words Lest
We Forget" The natives hate cordially, and
unless some radical change can be brought about
this hatred will grow more and more intense.
Up to within some two or three months before
the arrival of our party there one large political
party in the islands which supported our Govern
ment there and was friendly to our administration
The other political parties openly condemn our occu
patton and persistently insist on an independent
government The Federalist Party, which favored
our control abandoned their support and withdrew
their sympathy, the grounds. as they stated,

them that it was their
duty to give up any such
hopes and to abandon
the idea of self-govern-

worst fears were con-

timacy and no sympathy
between the Americans

and the natives The

Every issue of their pa

they do not regard them

quantities of all they need in that respect, with which to back up their enterprise, with the advant- ages which are growing, the value will be enhanced all the time."
 Mir. Penton was equally enthus- iastic concerning the character of the building itself, which he seems to think is modern in every res pect. He called attention to the machinery, some of which he no- ticed had been bought from a large and we'll known concern in Pittsburg. whose output was con- sidered equal, if not leading any other manufactures in their line.
 He said: "The fact that the company has adopted a very orig inal and somewhat unusual plaE by erecting a plant which in all pro- bability is double the size of it's present requirements, may not prove to be otherwise than very far-slghted action upon their part. The fact that the mineral capacity of this country is beginning to at- tract much more attention, both at home and abroad, foreign enter prise and foreign capital is in the future likely to flow into the great Republic of Mexico. This will make an urgent demand for mate rial which this company is demon strating it's ability to successfully manufacture.
 "The steel construction mate rials, rods, sheets and rails, can all be made probably more economic ally at this plant than at any other plant I know ot, and in addition, while ordinarily it is the rule to devote a large amount of time and money to one particular branch of the business. here the company has installed machinery for mak- ing an output of varied character. This is sure to be all needed as the country grows in prosperity.
 "While I am an enthusiastic American, there is no good reason why Mexico should not, as far as possible, make and manufacture. everything it needs for it's own It may seem un- usual, but there is more iron and steel being used every day in this country than could be turned out in the plant in Monterey. This comes in various shapes and forms, as manufactured products, which is aade in American workshops.
 There is an immense amount of machinery required for mining which is almost daily be- ing imported from large and we'll known establishments in the United States, as we'll as from some European countries. As the manu- facturing establishments of Mexico develop, 1t will continue to increase the percentage of it's own manu- factures. The policy that has been adopted by the government will sooner or later result in Mexico leading the United States in pro- ducing varied materials, and cost of production and, in all probabil- ity, q reduction in the cost of the manufactured articles to the Mex ican consumer"
 Mr. Penton spoke of being es- pecially surprised to notice that The Monterey Steel Company had set aside large portion of its works for the manufacture of min ing and other machinery, and that the large volume of it's business in
