kAS TAFT f Gia D PRESIDNTIAL IDEA .MAY RETURN TO PiLTPPINES AS PRIVATE CITIZEN. Man Believed to be Theodore Roose velt's Candidate For Presi dent May Have Made Oth er Plans for the Future. Manila. Oct. 19.-At a banquet given in his honor in this city to night Secretary of War William H. TaFt made a most siunineant state ment. He was referring to the Fact that he had alreadn visited the philip pine islands three times. and in expressing his intention to come here again, he said: "I hope in another two years to visit Manila again, but then I prob ably will come as'a privatc citizen." The significance of Mr. Taft's re mark in relation to the chance of his nomination for the presidency next year did not seem to strike his aud ience. The secretary's speech was re ceived with much enthusiasm by the representative Filipinos present when he declared the government was anxious and ready to help the busi ness prosperity of the islands. Secretary Taft opened his address by declaring that the future pros perity of the Philippine island de pended primarily on the Fiiipinos themselves. They must take prog ess as a nation before they could obtain the benefits realized by other nations and it was the duty of busi ness men and others contemplating investmer+ in the Philippines to help the nati. - better their condition. It was with the most intense satis faction that he came to the islands today and found them quieter than ever before in their history. Assembly Established. He was glad the assembly had been established and hoped it would take over some of the responsibility of gov ernment. He said to capitalists and others looking for franchises and concessions that another power Lad arisen in the land and that hereaf ter they must come to the assembly with their requests. He had no doubt the assembly would carefully consid er all questions affecting the welfare of the islands. That it would not only look out for the interests of the people but would welcome with liber ality the investment of foreign'eapi tal so absolutely necessary to the de velopment of the Phiiippines. The existence of the assembly would strengthen the hand of the govern ment and the gove'rnment was anx ious and ready to help the business prosperity of the islands in which the people themselves were quite as much interested as the merchants. This was the beginning of a per iod of prosperity, the speaker assert ed, and he trusted that under it ev erybody would be happy and content ed. The secretary declared that he was not -ashamed of anything in the is lands and urged the Americans here to make every effort to bring the Fil Sipino people to a realization of their wonderful opportunities. He had been to the Philippines three times already and he hoped in another two years to visit the islands again, but Sthan he probably would come as a private citizen. Mr. Taft's sp.ech at the close was greeted with cheers. This afternoon Secretary Taft had the cornerstone of the first perma nent sehool house built in Manila un der the American regime. He deliv ered a short address to the pupils of the school in which he congratulated them upon the event. WILL RBCOMMEND INRBASE IN LEVY. Gov. Ansel Wants .the State on a Cash Basis. Columbia, Oct. 15.-In his next an nual mnessare to the legislature Gov ernor Ansel will rcomm end that the State ta: 1ev;- be inercaised, but to just wimzt filure he ha not himself fflve? deelded'. Hie has been consider hal a il h prsn lev is4 - m '!!. avn been deceae ha! a hal by il.The preent le.ivle: . a1 ht'a -nill by the precediuvs le isla in1. hu 1905 the levy was placed1 at 5 1 2 Pilis upon the recommendation 1ah basis. a invards the legisla ture, banking on an increase in tax values, reduced the levy, although it increased appropriations each year. The reoprts of county auditors are coming in rapidly now. and the comp troller general's ojee will in a few weeks be in a position to say what i'e total tax values f'r 1907 will be. N ir every county so far shows a dviided ince, o('r the previous year. due principally to the in-I ,reaise in railroad assessments. Son:e of the counties show increases of over a million dollars. while many show i t ion of5 be r a :i'illion o: more' It is estimated ihr :. i tz:! iini'e e Ill b;e abott, .0 .00 Th.2 ril r)atds a lone have been inreased oe $12.000.000. The state's total assessment for 006 was $249.534.422, t'e increase being due to the quadrennial assess ment of real estate. The 1907 assess ment will, therefore. be qbout 6269. 500,000. Half a mill additional levy on this would yield $134.500. and the five mills on the twenty million dollars' increase would bring in an other $100,000, bringing up the to al income for next year $234,000 above that for the present year. This would about cure the floating debt evil. provided the appropriations are not increased. The state treasurer has already borrowed $350,000 this year for current expenses. in spite of the big increase in tax values for 1906. It seems practically certain that the appropriations of the coming legisla ture will reach high water mark in spite of the warning of next sum mer's elections. A strong fight, lead by Governor Ansel himself, will be made to have the salaries of all state officeis raised, and an equally determined effort will be made to have the supreme court and circuit court judges' salaries rai-sed and each esurt stenographer provided with an with an assistant, which will mean an additional appropriation of about $10,000 to $15,000. Winthrop college will ask for $60,000 for a new dormi tory. the elections will cost $20,000 extra., the state board of -health will ask for the establishment of a $50,000 tuberculosis hospital for the state hospital for the insane, the reforma tory at Florence wants about $65,000 to get its work properly started, the new high school system will need about $50,000 and the militia will ask for about $30,000 to enable it to pass the requirements of the Dick law. THE OLD DISPENSARY. Dr. W. J. Murray, Chairman of the Commission, Gives Out an Interview. Columbia, Oct. 19.--Dr. W. J. Mur ray, chairman of the board charged with the winding tip of the state dlis pensary, wa's seen this morning rela tive to the winding up board sup porting Attorney General Lyon in his efforts to secure evidence with regard to the purchases of the old' state board of control. Dr. Murray said he was adverse to talking about the affairs of the com mission and declined to talk for pub lication except to say that the wind ing up commission was giving Attor ney General Lyon all the suppoi pos sible, and that there was entire co operation on the part of the attorney general and the commission to wind up the state dispensary. Dr. Murray, who .has given a great deal of time and attention to this work stated that it had t ken up a great deal more of his valuable time than he had ever expected. He does not know what the position of the board will be with reference to the Garrett suit, as that is a matter for the board to determine for itself. A m!eetn; of the board was called yes 'erd:ay but on aceonut of the absence of Mr. W. F. Stevenson- who is spe eial counsel for the board-on busi noes connfected with the hoard, the umeeti2g was nlot held yesterday.
