RUSSIANS STAY
JAPANESE SEALERS
ORIENTALS ATTEMPT RAID ON
COPPER ISLAND SEAL ROCKER
les AND ARE FIRED ON.

VICTORIA, August SAN attempt
ed raid of the seal rookeries at Copper
Island, one of the Commanderofski
group guarded by Russians, has re-
suited in the killing of several Japanese
sealers from the schooners engaged in
the raid. The two schooners taking
part in the raid were the Kaika Maru
and the Midori Maru. The former re-
turned to Japan and reported three
sealing boats and twelve men missing.
She also reported that the Midori Maru
had been anchored close to the rocker
les and had been fired on by the Rus
sian guard and her mast had been
damaged by a shell from a gun.
The two schooners went to the rock
cries with the intention Of raiding
them, but were surprised by the
guards and were badly damaged The
guard has been considerably strength
ened since the close of the Russian
Japanese war and the patrol fleet has
been almost doubled. There were five
sealers from Victoria in the vicinity of
Copper Islands during the month of
June, but it is not thought that any
trouble has befallen them otherwise
some information would have been re-
ceived.

A few days before the election, the
Manila Cable News had the following
regarding the Gomez referred to in the
above, who was elected from one of the
most important districts, to the legis-
lature:
cat this writing Dominador Gomez,
candidate for the Philippine Assem-
bly,, is in a prison cell. He is where
he should remain except for the change
from a police station to Bilibid. One
of the men whom the willy doctor in
duced to go his bond refused longer to
remain security for Gomez's going to
Jail, if his sentence of four years and
more be affirmed by the Supreme Court
and the man of STEEL" as he calls
himself, had to forsake the comforts
of his home for a cell.
Gomez is a nuisance, and If it
should happen that the court affirmed
his sentence, the public would be well
rid of his presence. He does much
harm. He has a following or crack
Drained, halfbaked enthusiasts and
grafters who believe he can aid them to
get offices under some form OF
government which Gomez promises
them he will bring about Then his
open contempt for America and Anne
ricans, his revilement of the flag, and
his elevation Of the Katipunan banner,
all go to single him out as bold leader
of the irreconcilable element.
THE ladrones in the field swore by
him; luckily most of them are dead,
and if at all conscious now swear at
him. 1t is this class OF Filipinos ne
appeals to. His pOmpous egotism,
magnetic oratory, unlimited promises,
and ludicrous assurance, hypnotic the
ignorant and young into the idea that
he is great and powerful man.
ITO them his weak and evil char
acter, his past record, and his present
position as a man convicted of fraud,
make no difference. He is their idol,
the man who hates the United States
and its citizens. and who is not afraid
to say It openly.
IF he is not squashed by law or
fate, he has an eventful and harmful
career before him"

TAFT HAS
HARD JOB
THE SITUATION IN THE PHILIP
PINES WHICH THE SECRETARY
is GOING TO CONSIDER.

WASHINGTON, July 31.-The result
of the Philippine elections probably
will lead to legislation at the next ses-
sion of Congress that will make radical
changes in the local government of the
islands.
This opinion was expressed today by
War Department officials who nave
kept in close touch with Philippine
political affairs. These officials declare
that the result of the elections indi-
cate clearly that the Filipinos are not
prepared for even the initial step in
the plan of self-government The re-
turns show that a very small per-
centage of the qualified voters went to
the polls, and that those who were
active in the elections represent the
lowest orders of the people.
The inability of the Filipinos to
realize the responsibilities of suffrage
is also indicated, army officers assert,
by the fact that Dominador Gomez, a
notorious criminal, was elected to the
Legislature from one of the most inn
portant Manila districts. OF course,
Gomez will not be permitted to take
the Office Even in the event that pri-
son does not claim him. the opinion OF
the better element of the people, it is
believed here, will prevent him from
securing the Office to which, according
to the returns, he was elected by a
fair majority.
1t is believed in Washington that
Secretary Taft must straighten out the
political complications in the Philip
pines, just as he did in Cuba. The
Secretary will leave for Manila Sep
TENDER 10, and will spend at least a
month in the islands. He is expected
to conduct a thorough investigation or
the political conditions with a view
to recommending legislation to Con-
gress.
Mr.. Taft's administration as Gov
ernor General of the Philippines and
his subsequent experience in directing
the affairs of the archipelago make him
the best equipped man connected with
the administration to conduct such an
investigation.
War department officials as a rule
expressed no surprise at the result OF
the elections. The feeling at the De-
partment has been that the Filipinos
are not competent to administer their
political affairs, and that Congress was
entirely too liberal in its legislation
affecting those people.

State Tax Commission Advocates
Taxing The Holdings
VALUE BASED UPON LIFE OF CHARTER
DO NOT EXPECT, HOWEVER, TO
RIGHT WRONGS OF COR

OLYMPIA, Jan. "A few pages OF
the biennial report of the state tax
commission are devoted to advocacy
of taxing franchises, and a suggestion
is made that where public officials
have not guarded the public interest
when franchise was granted, the
franchise may be of greater value and
the public may obtain some returns
through the taxing power. In part
the report says:
AT the annual assessors conven.
ton this matter was fully discussed
For their guidance they were instruct.
ed that they should ascertain as a
whole the value of a plant or property
having a special franchise; from this
amount deduct the value of the tan
gible property, and the difference
would represent the value of the fran
chise; that if the owner of the special
franchise was joint stock company
the value of its shares plus it's bonded

lie as an entirety.
The assessors were instructed that
this item might be treated as separ-
ate property or it's value added to the
value of its tangible property. Most
gratifying results have attended the
efforts of the commission to get fran
chise property on the tax rolls. A
large per cent of the increased values
OF 1906 can be traced to these values.
THE value of franchise depends
upon its life and the conditions of that
grant. If city, through favor or job
berry, should give the use of it's streets
to car company without exacting
reasonable return in the way of a per-
centage of the gross earnings as rent
for the use of the streets, it is need
less to say that this franchise is of
more value than the franchise granted
in less prof1igate cities where the con-
dltions of the grant exact reasonable
