HAS TAFf CHANGED PRESIDENTIAL IDEA MAY RETURN TO PHILIPPINES AS PRIVATE CITIZEN. g! Man Believed to be Theodore RooseK volt's "Candidate For President May Have Made OtliH er Plans for the Future. 88 Manila. (KM. I!).?At a banquet Bm. given in his honor in Ibis city tonitrht Secretary ol' War William 11. PwTaft made a most significant stalePv-ment. He was referring Id (lie far! Mi at he liad alreadu visited (lie |>li i 1 i ]iP pine islands three times, and in E expressing his intention to come hero ? again, he said: <4I hope in another two years to vy visit Manila again, hn( then T probE. ably will eonie asf'a private citizen." fe; Tlic significance of Mr. Taft's rejw mark in relation to the chance of his m nomination for the presidency ncx* & year did not seem to strike his andH ience. The secretary's speech was refj eeived with much enthusiasm by the Jr representative Filipinos present when lie declared the government was anxious and ready to help the busi| ness prosperity of the islands. Secretary Taft opened his address f by declaring that the future prosperity of the Philippine island dell, ponded primarily on the Piiipinos | themselves. They must take prog$ ess as a nation before they could I obtain the benefits realized by other | nations and it. was the duty of busi| ness men and others contemplating . investment in the Philippines to help the natives to better their condition. . It was with the most intense satisH faction that lie came to the islands W today and found them quieter than ever before in their history. Assembly Established. lie was glad the assembly had been established and hoped it would take over some of the responsibility of government. He said to capitalists and others looking for franchises and concessions that another power had arisen in the land and that hereaf-i ter tliev must come to the assembly I with their requests, lie had no doubt the assembly would carefully consid, er all questions affecting the welfare of the islands. That ii would not only look out for the interests of the people but would welcome with liberality the investment of foreign oapi- i tal so absolutely necessary to the de- i velopment of the Philippines. The ( existence of the assembly would I strengthen the hand of the govern-j ment and the government was anx-j ions and ready to help t'he business . prosperity of the islands in which A the people themselves were, quite as r much interested as (lie merchants. This was the beginning of a por iod of prosperity, the speaker assertj ed. and he trusted that under it everybody would be happy ;<nd content-| ed. ( The secretary declared thai lie was not ashamed of anything in the is-j lands and urged tiio Americans bete! to make every effort to bring the Kil-j ipino people to a realization of their j wonderful opportunities. lie had! been to the Philippines three times already and he hoped in another two| years to visit the islands again, but then he probably would come as a m private citizen. Mr. Taft's speech at the close was greeted with cheers. This afternoon Secretary Taft had the cornerstone of the first permanent school house built in Manila under the American regime. He delivered a short address to the pupils of the school in which he congratulated them upon the event. 1* WILL RECOMMEND INCREASE IN LEVY. | (rov. Ansel Wants the State on a ! Cash Basis. I Columbia, Oct. 15.?In l is next an- I / nual message lo the legislature (iov-i ernor Ansel will recommend that the I State la--: levy be increased, but to !

The present levy is -I 1-'J ), mills, having been decreased half a liii'l by the present legislallire and j ha I' a mill by the preceding legislaf in if. In 1!)();") the levy was placed at fl 1 - mills upon the recommendation of t'Jovornor Ileyward, also for the i v L purpose oL' placing the staff mi a r cash basis. A fterwards the legisla-! ture, banking 011 an increase in tax values, reduced the levy, although it increased appropriations each year. The reoprts of county auditors are coining in rapidly now. and Ihe comptroller general's ojce will in a few weeks be in a position to say what tliV trial tax values for 151(17 will be. Nenrly every county so far shows a decided increase over Ihe previous year, due principally to (he increase in railroad assessments. Some of the counties show increases of over a million dollars, while many show 1 a?' :i'i< 11s of he.If a million or more ; I' is estimated iha? the 1 - t::I increase j will l;c about $20,000,000. Th rail- ' j l'itads alone have been increased over! | $ 112,000,000. I'lie state's total assessment for U'Ofi was $2dJ).5;t-!,422. the increase being due (o the quadrennial assess- ( met,I of real estate. The 1007 assessment will, therefore, be about (5200.1)00,000. Half a mill additional lew 011 this would yield $131,500. and the live mills 011 the twenty million j dollars' increase would bring in another $100,000, bringing up the tofyal * income for next year $2."? 1,000 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 war for current expenses, in spite of the big increase in tax values for 1000. I II seems practically certain that the appropriations of the coming legislature will reach high water mark in spite of the warning of next summer's elections. A strong fight, lead by Governor Ansel himself, will be made to have the salaries of all state officers raised, and an equally determined effort will be made to have the supreme court and circuit court judges' salaries raised and each c?turt stenographer provided with an | with an assistant, which will mean |an additional appropriation of about j $10,000 to $15,000. Winthrop college will ask for $00,000 for a new dormitory. the elections will cost $20,000 extra, the state board of health will r ask for the establishment of a $50,000 Iubiu'culosis hospital for the state hospital for the insane, the reformatory at Florence wants about $05,000 to get its work properly started, the j new high school system will need -J 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. 1 . ] Columbia, Oct. 10.?Dr. XV. J. Mur- ( ray, chairman of the board charged ] with tlie winding up of the state dis- -? pensary, was seen this morning rela- . live to the winding up hoard supporting Attorney General Lyon in his efforts to secure evidence with regard to the purchases of the old stale board of eoiitrol. Dr. Murray said he was adverse to talking about Ihe affairs of the commission and declined to talk for publication except to say that (he winding up commission was giving Attorney General I/yon all the support possible, and that there was entire cooperation on the part of the attorney general and the commission to wind up the stale dispensary. Dr. Murray, who has given a great j deal of time and attention to (his work slated that it had (liken 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 bo with reference to the Garret 1 suit, as that is a matter for tlx* board to determine for itself.
