II. for Instance, they should take
the tax or something which all men,
women and children buy nearly every
day Of their lives. the people probably
would feel that they had been relieved
of some expense. forgetting perhaps
the tax would go somewhere else and
that in the long run il might have its
effect upon them.
The plain truth about taxation Is
that the government needs huge
amount of money 10 pay the interest
on its bonds and TO pay its running
expenses. There is only one way TO
raise this money, and that is by tax
alton, except OF course through tarin,
and some persons maintain that the
tariff Is a tax. IL follows, therefore,
that unless the expenses Of govern
ment are cut. taxation cannot be cut.
IL is not Uncle Sans fault that bills
fall due and 1t is a credit, of course,
TO his honesty that he wants 10 pay
them.

Washington.-There has been con-
siderable interest in Washington in
the whisper Ia administration circles
that Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, now in
the Philippines on inquiry bent. may
once more be asked to take the gov
ernor generalship of the islands, and
that possibly he may accept it.
The country has UNDERSTOOD that
General Wood already has accepted
the place Of provost of the University
Of Pennsylvania. II is possible that
he has not committed himself wholly
In this matter, and IL he should change
his mind, or, rather, IL he feels that
he can change IL, his friends say that
the action win be due 10 things that
he feels he has learned I'm the Philip
pines and TO pressure which has been
brought 10 bear upon him 10 under

The conception of the WoOd-FOrbes
mission 10 the Philippines was curious.
There Is not the slightest doubt that
the administration, or rather the War
department. which Is the same thing
IN this ease. knew everything that was
going on In the Philippines, and really
needed no report even from such q
deep student of affairs as the general.
The word Is that the administration
wanted something which Il could put
forward definitely as the basis Of fu-
ture dealings with the Filipin0s, and
that rather than use the documents
and information already in the hands
Of the War department, II concluded
thar what Il intended 20 do I'm the is
lands would he better received when
based on n new report.

Little Reduction in Sight.

Little REDUCTION IN St9nt.
There was a strong belief that tax
alton this year might be cut material
~. II is the solid truth today. how
ever. to say that few men in congress
seemingly believe that any great
amount of the burden can be lifted.
The chairman of the house committee
on ways and means, Mr. FOrdney, says
that the attempt viii be 20 cut half
a billion dollars from the tax bin OF
next year. His fellow members OF the
committee are very much less 0ptimis-
tic. They say that they do not want
to make any promises because II dis
appointment shall come the promises
will return 10 plague them.
All the members OF congress. mem

of the majority. seem 20 be In sym
pathy with the proposal to repeal the
transportation taxes. those which hit
freight rs they hit the passenger by
land and sea When n man travels to-
day he not only pays a good deal more
for his straight ticket than he did
few years ago, but he has TO pay
tax in addition, and as Americans
Ike 10 travel. this form of taxation
has been felt keenly.
II has been said that THE taxes col
lected each year from the passengers
and the freight shippers amount 20
considerably more than One-third OF a
billion dollars. OF course II this tax
II lifted the third of a billion dollars
must be raised I'm some other way and
as yet no specific plan for doing II has
developed. IL seems likely today that
only a part of the transportation tax
will be lifted.

some money this year through econ

Bureau Undoubtedly Knew.
There is a bureau of insular affairs
functiOning i'm Washington. II is a
stabilized bureau and for years II has
been doing executive work. Maj Gen.
Clarence r. Edwards was for years
its chief and his first assistant was
Frank Mcintyre. now major general
and the successor of Edwards In the
insuar bureau. While the bureau
could not play politics, nor even in a
way play policy. il unqueStiOnably Is
believed that under the recent admin
istration not only the bent of mind
Of the President but the feelings of
the Filipinos themselves led 10 the
general belief that the governments
wards had expected independence and
that almost instantly.
II is said by the opponents Of grant
ing such liberty that there never has
been a belief among the men who real
ly know about Philippine affairs that
the islands are yet fitted for indie
pendence. II is asserted that idealism
and n Observation-Disclosures" figured
IN the matter of q former presidential
suggestion that the Filipinos should be
given their liberty and figured also I'm
the movements made I'm the islands
10 bring about liberation.
When the present administration
came into power ii probably was told
bluntly BY some Of the officials that
the little Brown Brother of former
President Taft is not at the advanced
stage Of citizenship and executive abil-
fly which will make him tit for the
job Of self-government.
II readily can be seen that If Cen
eral Wood and w. Cameron Forbes
had not been sent TO the Philippines on
mission. the administration would
have been compelled 10 act on infOr-
nation which the War department al
ready possessed. but which II would be
charged came from prejudiced
sources. although the sources hardly
can be conceived as prejudiced. be-
cause the War departments American
guardians OF the Filipino brother al
ways have been fair 20 him.
Fillpinos Want Wood.
Now It is held that General Wood
IS the only man who, because Of the
feeling OF respect which the FiliplnOs
have for him. viii be able as governor
general 10 carry out the administra-
tion's policy of deferring the day Of
freedom. The word is that the Eli
pinos themselves want General Wood,
and vet they must know what this
viii mean 10 their hopes for instant
liberation from the binding tie.
From outward appearances there
was every reason 10 believe when this
administration took Office that 1t was
not over keen TO do anything for Cen
eral Wood. Perhaps the President
himself was willing TO do something,
and one can put this stronger than by

LITTLE MIKE

Little Mike silverman. Lake county's

The same Little Mike. who lead the

impression upon Little Mike. He
claims that he is physically hampered
and besides that his high standing in

that he is planning on going into a
business that will net him quick re-
suits and that he will then be willing
TO check out again.
