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 !

'/ it next summer, a n it i . likely j
I that a more moderate increa-e will he!
y recommended, say something like j
' half a mill. 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. A
meeting ot the hoard was called vos'
