For the semiarid lands in the grasing district, the homestead law, allowing 160 acres, should be extended to 32) acres, as it le {mpossible for a man to make a living on any 160 acres remaining. We should ask congress to authorize the appolntment of & commission to g0 into the various states, ciassiy grazing lands and ‘make reeommendations ‘in line with what the people who dwell there want. Our position should be. let the pecple have what they want, as thelr hom:s are at stake, and_their ‘ochildren should have the benefit of the very best conditions we can throw around them. On this subject iet all politiclans “Go way back and sit down,” apd let the plain people settle the matter in thelr own couritles, all over this t western country, for we certainly can trust the people most witaliv interested.

GENERAL WOOD GOES TO MANILA SOON Many Chan, ecers in Pa Elevation te Supreme ceeed Davis, WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.--After mature consideration it has been decided by the president that Judge Taft shall re- main jn the PhiMpplnes & civil gov- ernor. The decision ‘Was reached only after the president had discussed the question thoroughly with Secretary Root and the other members of ‘his cabinet and with Vice Governor Luké . Wright. For several weeks it had been practically settled that Governor Taft would return to this country to become a justice of the United States supreme court. As soon as It was learned that Governor likely to leave, cabled protests began to pour In on the president from prominent Fillpinos. Every day he was urged to retain Governor Taft as civil gov- ernor, it belng pointed out that Governor Taft was ideally equipped for the position of governor and that any change would be disastrous to the best interests of the arch- ipelago. It was maintained that Governor Taft's relinquishment ‘of his post would re- tard the development of the fslands fully five years. . Today, in response to the president's lets ter oftering him the supreme justiceship, & cable was received from Governor Taft sug- gesting, with a sincere appreciation of the offer, that it might be better for him to remain where he was. After this it was announced unofficially, but entirely author- itatively, that he would remain indefinitely as civil governor of the Philippines. Dur- ing the afternoon Secretary Root had a long conference with the president, at which the question was canvassed in all its phases. Many serious problems are yet to be solved with respect to the islands, and the administration is lcoking to Gov- ernor Taft to reach such a solution as will be satisfactory. Wood Wants Phill e Serviee. Brigadier General Wood has applied for service in the Philippines and his request has been granted. It 1s expected he will be assigned in Mindanao. He will become & major general In August and it is quite likely that he will soon thereafter be as- signed to command the Division of the Philippines. It is oxpected he will sall in April. A number of important army changes will occur soon in the Philippines, the chiet of which will be the assignment of General Wade, now commanding a department in the Philippines, to the supreme command in the islands, to succeed Major General Davis, who will retire for age July 26 next. General Wade, who is mow & brigadier, will be made a major general on the re- tirement of Major ' General - Robert P. Hughes April 11 pext. Generals Davis, Summmer and Baldwin will be relieved from duty during the summer and_General Wood, either General Carter or General Bliss of‘thé war college board, possibly both, and Colonel Francis Moore of the Eleventh cavalfy, will be assigned to | the command of departments there. Colonel Moore, who Is now ‘in that country, will be made a brigadier general shortly. ‘The purpose of tiie War department is to have ' a ‘major géteral' and six brigadier géfleraly 6n @uty” 1P the Philippines for some time to comeao Other changes will be made in the reitef of officers who have served there'a long°time., Fillpinos Will Not Work. The secretary of war today sent to the house an additional estimate of $250,000 for barracks and quarters jn the Philippines. General Davis, comnianding the troops in the archipelago, in explaining the need of an fncréased appropristion, says: . The patives. have discovered that there ¥ no authority t can compel them to ‘work -unless the; vish to, while during the Spanish regime and for some time afterward the; ew that the thorities could, and did, compel them to labor at ‘wages fixed by themi. In some localities It is_impossible at any .price to obtain native labor, not because of its lack, but because they prefer to remain idle. Barracks which could have been con- structed for $300 when American tr landed will now cost from $1,000 to $1,600. The terlal used for shingles has ad- vanced from $1 gud §2-to $ and 85, and when it comes to & question of construc- tion with stronger mate: It lies between lipino lumber at from to §70 per 1,000 eet and American lumber at $15, and of course the native lumber is out of the question. Cannot Pay in- Gold. The State deépartment has been in- formed by Mr., Conger that the Chinese governmant has professed its utter inabil- ity to pay the indemnity oh a gold basis and has suggested that if the powers in- sist China should be allowed to collect the import dutfes in gold. This would practically amount to doubling the custom receipts, gold standing in ‘the ratio of about one to two to silver. -Secretary Hay has replied that the United States, having agreed to accept - payment on a silver basis, could not agree to eonsider the last proposition. ‘Wants to. Stop Dollars, . The senate committee on finance today heard an argument by the director of the mint in support of the house bill authoriz- ing the colnage of the silver in the tr ery into subsidiary colns and repealing the law for the coinage of silver dollars. Mr. Roberts said there was great demand for more small coin. The bill was not acted upon, because of objéctions made by some members of the committee to the provi- slon prohibiting the further coinage of silver dollars. Senate Delay Endangers Army. The War department s serlously con- cerned about the fallure of the semate to act.on a large dumber of names of young officers submitted at the begluning of the session.

J, Jan. 13.~—Governor | Murpby . of New Jersey today submitted | his message (o the legislature. The gov- ernor eald in part: There has been much discussion of on the subject of trusts and New Jersey is largely interested in the matter by | reason of the large number ot corporations organized under its luwe, t is the impression of some, Who are tgnorant of the facts, that the corporation laws- of the state of New Jersey are especially liberal and that corporations organized under them have unusual and perhaps unwise powers. This is not so.. Corporations that want to do a dishonest business have a hard { time of it under the New Jersey law. Cor- porations that desire tn conduct thelr busi- {ness -as honest men conduct theirs are protected as fully and completely as any individual in the state. As a matter of fact there are few, if any, real trusts and the name is glven promiscu ously to large corporations of all kinds, especlally {f composed of a_combination of a number of amailer concerns. Our people | re. too enterprising to allow monopolles to_axist. In the last three years the corporations organized under our beneficent laws have paid the state $14000,000 and for the last three years payments have averaged 2,337, | 246. Their capitaligation is many billions and the stockholders are hundreds of thou- sands of people. The state has its obligations to these stockholders.

The present tax law is objectionable and wholly ihadequate, declares the governor. The rallronds pay too small a proportion of the taxes. A bill will be presented to the legislature prepared by a commission which he hopes to see favorably acted upon. Irri- gation, agriculture and an economy of of- fictals were other topics touched upon. The delivery of the message was given close attention.
