In reply to enquiries, Acting Governor- General Forbes explained that the total income from internal revenue amrces would be even. tually increased by about two and a half millions, in other words, from tho P7,500,000 now collected 15,000,000.00 to P10,000,000. The increase in revenue will 14,500,000.00 ranke it possible to give the municipalities and 250,000.00 province 30 per cent. of the total and yat give them as much money as they formerly received.

Mr. Forbes also pointed out that soother appreciable source of revenue would be tho raversion to the insular treasury of tho internal revenus taxes collected in the United States on Philippine tobacco imported under the Payno bill.This reversion would amount to P900,000 by the time the limit of importation of 150,000,000 digare was reached.

The Acting Governor-General cabled to the bureau of infular affairs yesterday to find out the oxno time the bill will go into effect. It is understood that both bills will be operativo sixty days after passgo.,

The Cablonews (Manila) concludes a leading article on the new prospect for the Philippines with the following paragraph

There are many obstacles in the way of pros parity that are entirely indigenous to the country. There is the scarcity of farm vattle; the need of irrigation in many sectiona; impass 14,063,599.17 able ronde that divide the agriculturist and 5,493,446.41 his market: the insect pests that ravage crops in divers localities and numerous other minor impedimente. None of those is of a vital or permanent nature. They can all be overcome in time. But there remains the really vital 8345,601,236,85 defect in our system that is the aversion of the Filipine to work. The absence of that 855,260,909.72 abundant labour that strack terror to the trast tariff jugglers in Congress is our greatest weakness. There is no likelihood that the islands will be given access to any foreign labour market for many years to come, They can therefore, only made the best use of the

mengre store they have within themselves. Bince this is true no stone should be left unturned to stop the exploitation of Filipino agricaltarists by the sugar planters of Hawaii. These man can raise sugar for the Philippines as well and with as much real profit to them selves in the end as for the Hawaiion planters, In some way or other the exportation labour must be stopped or the islands will be deprived of the fruit of their victory in Congress. .........
