Tax Adjustment.

The Revenue and Taxation Commit
tee of the State Department Associa-
tion Friday conferred regarding the
amendment to the State constitution
which will result in an adjustment of
taxation laws. In a nut shell, accord
ing to Chairman Charles Carroll, the
amendment will enable the adoption of
a form of expensive taxation" to
adapt itself to the business conditions
and changing situations of the State.
1t will be the avenue through which
the double taxation now complained of
can be eliminated, and will offer, in a
large measure, the desired relief.
The amendment will be Incorporated in
a bill submitted by Representative Sui
livan, of Madison county. The bill
will have the support of leaders, of
both Democrats and Republicans, as
no partisanship is manifested.

When representatives of the Ameri-
can Newspaper Publishers Associa-
tion called upon President Roosevelt
he assured them of his conviction that
action should be taken looking to the
lower tariff on wood pulp. His words
were taken as an implied promise that
the presidential influence would be
welded in behalf of the victims of a
tariff protected monopoly. A couple of
weeks later Representatives Payne
and Dalzell, "stand-patters, visited
the White House and upon coming
forth emphatically declared that there
would be mo tariff tinkering of any
scrt this year." Representative Dal-
zeli stated unequivocally that there
would be no tariff revision during the
Congress which convened on December
3. And Representatives Payne and
Dalzell seem to have made their words
good. In his message Mr.. Roosevelt
proposed tariff revision" N the form

A Good Beginning.

A cabIegram from Manila says
1.-The first bill was passed by the
Philippine assembly Friday. 1t appro-
pirates one million dollars for the con-
struction of schools throughout the
provinces. The bill was passed unani-
mously. Isauro Gabalon, national
member, who was the author of the
first law, proposed several other meas
ures at the same time that he intro
duced the school bill into the assem-
bly,. His measures included bills. to
construct a capitol building. and to
cancel the Indebtedness of provinces
and municipalities to the insular gov
ernment. 1t was unanimously decided
to inaugurate legislation with the
school bill. a"
1t is a good sign that Philippine leg
isation began with an educational bill.
and what is better this significant
course was adopted unanimously. By
wise action the Philippine assembly
can strengthen the sentiment in favor
of independence and give complete
answer to the imperialists who say
that the Filipinos are only half-civiliz-
ed and incapable of fself-government.

the rest of his life. He left the home
of the appellants shortly after the con-
tract was made and the property deed
ed to them, and took up his abode with

French Predict Trouble.

The sensational section of the French
press continues to dwell upon the
probabilities of a clash between Japs
and the United States. La Presse Fri.
day published a long interview with
M. Jacques Flach, the historian and
professor in the College of France,
who declares his belief that a conflict
is certain for the reason that Japan
seeks war.
He advises the American fleet to be
on the watch for sudden japanese
descent, and asks:
"Who knows if the attack made by
the japanese on the Russian ships at
Chemulpo will not be repeated upon
the American ships tomorrow"
Continuing, M. Flach advises Great
Britain and France to intervene and
put an end to the troubles before 1T is
too late.
The Journal des Debats. a more con-
servative paper, believes that in the
event of a clash Japan would try to
seize Hawaii as the territorial key to
the situation.
