PUBLICITY OF CAMPAIGN CON-
TRIBUTIONS AND EXPENDI-
TIRES

Another plank of the democratic
platform Eefers to the failure of the
opinion in favor of the publicity of
contributions received and expenditures
made in elections. Here again we con-
trast our opponents promises with our
own acts. Great improvement has taken
place under republican auspices in re-
spect to the collection and expendi-
ture of money for this purpose. The
old and pernicious system of levying
a tax upon the salaries of government
employees in order to pay the expenses
of the party in control of the adminis-
tration has been abolished by statute.
By law passed by the republican
porations to influence or pay the eX-
penses connected with the election of
presidential electors, or of members of
congress, is forbidden under penalty.
A resident of New York has been Sc
lected as treasurer of the republican
national committee who was treasurer
Of the republican state committee when
Governor Hughes was elected in New
York and who made q complete state
ment within 20 days after the election,
as required by the New York law, of
the contributions received by him or
expenditures by him under authority
in that election. His residence and the
discharge of his duties in the state
of New York subject him to the law
of that state as TO receipts from the
treasury of the national committee
from whatever sources and as to all It's
disbursements. His returns will be
under the obligations and penalties of
the law and a misstatement by him
or the fling of false accounts will
subject to prosecution for perjury. OF
course, under the federal law he is
not permitted to receive any contribu-
tions from corporations.
If am elected president l shall urge
upon congress, with every hope of sue
cess, that law be passed requiring a
filing in a federal office of a statement
of contributions filed by committees
and candidates in election for members
of congress and in such other elections
a. are constitutionally within the con-
troll of congress. Meantime, the repub
lican party, by the selection of a New
York treasurer, has subjected all its
receipts and expenditures to the COM
pulsory obligation of such law.

MACHINE YOKE CALLS
Republicans of Thirty-seventh
Enroll Under Leagues Banner

Determined to set themselves right
with the decent republicans of the
state by defeating Senator Eddie
Wolfe. the free republicans of the
thirty-seventh district are setting
new standard of political effort for
the friends of good government in San
Francisco and California.
Twenty prominent residents of the
district volunteered last night to work
at the primary polls on August IL.
Aroused as they have never been. the
republicans of the thirty seventh have
enrolled themselves with the Lincoln
Roosevelt league to clean out the Her
rim nest that has been a blot on one
of the finest districts In the state for
years.
The character of the men leading the
fight against Wolfe and the Herrin
machine and the personnel of the local
delegate ticket which was nominated
by the Lincoln Roosevelt league at
Master Painters hall last night in
sure a repetition of the victories which
the free republicans of the district
won in May and in August, 1907.
Speeches were made last night by
Rolla V. Watt, NJ. J. Kuhl, Franklin P.
Bull. F. c. Scott, d. B. Rees and T. c.
Kierulff. Under the direction of
Franklin p Bull the district has been
carefully divided into subdistricts for
personal canvass, and men who have
The San Francisco call., 1908-07-29

Many unfortunate circumstances be-
yond human control have delayed the
coming OF business prosperity to the
islands. Much may be done in this re-
gard by increasing the trade between
the islands and the United States under
tariff laws permitting reciprocal free
trade in the respective products OF the
two countries with such limitations as
to sugar and tobacco imported in the
United States as will protect domestic
interests The admission of $4,000
islands in a foreign importation of
100000 tons Will have no effect what
ever upon the domestic sugar interests
of the United States, and yet such an
importation from the Philippine islands,
not likely TO be reached in 10 years,
viii bring about the normal state of
prosperity in those islands in refer
ence TO sugar culture.
The same thing is true of a similar
limitation on the Importation of to-
bacco. 1t is not we'll for the Filipino
TO develop the sugar industry to such
a point that the business of the island
makes a society in which there are
wealthy land owners, holding very
large estates, with valuable and ex-
pensive plants and a large population
Of unskilled labor. In such a COM
munity there is no farming or middle
class, tending to build a conservative.
self-respecting community, capable of
self-g government. There are many
other products. notably that of Manila
hemp, to which the energy of the
islands can be and is being directed,
the cultivation of which develops the
class of small and intelligent farmers.

INDEPENDENT DEMOCRATS

The democratic party under its pres
ent leadership in previous campaigns
has manifested Willingness to en-
brace any doctrine which would win
bility for it's practical operation In
its striving for success it has ignored
the business prosperity of the country,
has departed from sound economic and
governmental principles and has re-
yersed its own traditional views of con-
stiturional construction. Patriotic
members of the party have refused to
be controlled by party ties and have
either refrained from voting or have
supported the republican candidates.
May we not appeal to these courageous
and independent citizens to again give
us their support in this campaign, be-
cause the reasons for their breaking
the bonds of party are stronger today
than ever before.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS AND
THEIR ADVANTAGES

IN addition TO this the republican
platform recommends the adoption of

The San Francisco call., 1908-07-29

In the Philippines the experiment of
a national assembly has justified itself
both as an assistance in the govern
ment Of the islands and as an educa-
tiOn in the practice of self government
TO the people of the islands. We have
established a government with effective
and honest executive departments and
a clean and fearless administration of
justice; we have created and are main
tanning a comprehensive school system
which is educating the youth of the
islands in English and in industrial
branches; We have constructed great
government public works, roads and
harbors; we have induced the private
construction of 500 miles of railroad:
we have policed the islands so that
their condition as TO law and order is
better now than it has ever been in
their history 1t is quite unlikely that
the people, because of the dense ig-
nOrance of 80 per cent, will be ready
for complete government and indie
pendence before two generations have
passed. but the policy of increasing
partial self-government step by step
as the people shall show themselves fit
for it should be continued.
The San Francisco call., 1908-07-29
ARMY AND NAVY

Mr. Mckinley and Mr.. Roosevelt and
the republican party have constantly
advocated a policy with respect to the
army and navy that will keep this re-
public ready at all times TO defend her
territory and her doctrines and to as
sure her appropriate part in promoting
permanent tranquility among the ma
tions. l welcome from whatever
motive the change in the democratic
attitude toward the maintenance and
support OF an adequate navy, and hope
that in the next platform the silence
of the present platform in respect to
the army will be changed to an
acquiescence in its maintenance TO the
point of efficiency in connection with
The efficiently reorganized militia and
the national volunteers, for the proper
defense of the country in times of war
and the discharge of those duties in
times of peace for which the army. as
at present constituted, has shown itself
so admirably adapted in the Philip
pines. in San Francisco, in Cuba and
elsewhere. We are world power and

Our opponents denounce the republi-

of offices 5000 at a cost of SIC, 600 900
during the last year. Such denuncia-
tion is characteristic of the democratic
platform 1t fails to specify in any
way what the Offices are and leaves
the inference that the increase was re-
sisted by the representatives of democ-
racy in congress. AS a matter of fact,
the net number of offices increased was
just about half the number stated the
increase was due chiefly to the en-
largement of the navy, the construc-
tion of the Panama canal, the extension
of the rural free delivery and to the
new Offices necessary in the enforce

course, disingenuous to claim credit for

penditure.
The San Francisco call., 1908-07-29
MISCONCEPTION AS TO An
NUAL COST OF PHILIPPINES

One misconception of fact with re-
spect TO our Philippine policy is that
1t is costing the people of the United
states vast annual sum. The ex-
penses OF the war in the Philippines
from 1898 TO 1902 involved the govern
ment in an expenditure of not less
than 175.0OO,0 600. This was incident
to the war. The fact is that since the
close Of the war in 1902 and the res
toration of order in the ISLANDS, the
exact cost Of the American troops In
the regular army in the Philippines,
together with that Of maintaining
about 1000 Filipino scouts as a
part Of the regular army, does not ex-
ceed S6,000,000 annually. This is all
the expense to which the United States
has been put for five or six years past.
The expenses of the civil government
in the islands since its establishment
have been met entirely from the pro-
ceeds of taxes collected in the islands
with but one notable generous and COM
mendable exception, when the congress
of the United States appropriated
S3.00O,000 in 1902 to relieve the in
habitants OF the islands from the dan
gers Of famine and distress caused by
the death from rinderpest of three
fOurths Of the cattle of the Islands.
