the United States who have cause to
complain over taxes will sympathize
with their fellows in the Philippines,
where the new assessment upon which
to base the bond issue authorized by
Congress was made in some provinces
overnight by clerks working for fifty
cents per night. The old assessment
rolls were distributed to them and
they were told that Manila demanded
an average increase of at least so per
cent.
So the earnest clerks went to work,
with fearful results. Some increas-
es amount to 1000 per cent, some to
very little but many to 200 to 800 per
cent. An Americans cattle pasture
formerly valued at 1915 was raised to
$7,7S1.
