· Philippines" Gold Industry, The new Tariff Aot passed by the United States Government involved a loss to the revenue of the Philippine Government esti mated it not less than two million pesos per annum; and the Government of the Islands has in 'consequence boen put to strenuous efforts to devise ways and means of making up this loss. i Considerable retrenchments have bien made in adminisĺtalive charges, notably in the salary sonles, and several proposals for new taxation have been consider- ed. A tax has been put on the pearling industry, another on travelling podlars of general merchandise, and among other projects discussed have beeni tax on heavy

The Langkat Boom.' " The representative of the general agents returned from Sumatra in December last and it seems inconceivable that the in- formation he gleaned on the apot has not leaked out by this time. The Recretive policy of Langkat directors has too often besa' con- demned to call for further com ment here, but when the annual meeting comes round, as it will in a few weeks, it is to hoped that notwithstanding theexcellent showing of the past month, dis approval of a policy which does not serve the best interests of the shareholders will again be most... emphatically expressed. Theim portance of the issue at stake is. sufficient justification for the shareholders to take a firm stand in impressing upon the Directors and General Managers of the Langkat Crmpeny the expe liency of taking the shareholders into their confidence more than they have done in the past.
