TAKES PHILIPPINE TARIFF
BILL TO WASHINGTON
Measure of Islanders Will Be
Presented to Congress

George r. Cotton. collector of the
port of Manila, arrived yesterday from
the orient on his way to Washington
with the draft of the tariff bill that
the commercial interests in the
philippines have prepared for the con-
siderat1On of congress. 1t will be pre-
sented to congress by the secretary of
war. Cotton, who was member of
the commission that prepared the bill,
Will remain in Washington to assist
in making the final draft The bill
provides for a general revision OF the
Philippine tariff as regards the rest
of the world and for free trade between
the Philippines and the United States
The granting of the free trade prfvf-
lege, in the opinion of the commission
will mean prosperity for the business
and agricultural interests of the Phil
ippines and the general development
of the limitless resources of the
islands.
Cotton first went to Manila in 1898
as lieutenant colonel of the First Ne
braska volunteers. He has been in the
islands ever since, except for two
years, when he served as general re-
ceiver of customs at Santo Domingo.
Another passenger from Manila on
the Korea was DR.. w. S. Washburn,
who has been at the head of the civil
service bureau under the Philippine
commission. kDr. Washburn is said to
have been very close to President elect
Taft, to be present at whose Inaugural
tion he is now hurrying. Washburn
says that he does not expect to return
to the Philippines.
