If the Philippine Commission attempts to en- force tho collection of taxes among tho Igorrotes trouble wlH bo oxporioiyed. Twice the date for commencing the payment uf taxes has been pout poncd, and each timo tho natives have eon eluded that the American government does not dare to attempt nn enforce ment of the commission's dvaroo. During the timo the islands were under Spanish control no attempt was made to collect taxes from tho Igor rotes and other so-called non-Christian tribes. Spanish officials wore unable to ponotrate cry far into tho Igorroto country, nnd tho wld tribesmen hnvo nover contributed toward tho expenses ' of white government. Chiof romelocy, tho leader of tho lg orrote party now in Senttlo on tho way to the Portland Kxposltlon, whoso se lection by his tribe for tho Journoy in- uieates his popularity, is strougly op-1 posed to the collection of taxes. He in regarded ns a rich mun among tho lg orrote tribes, owning about 300 head of carabao nnd n oorresjvondlngly large amount of land. Tho carabao of tho Igorrotes nro worth from -f7C to $100 gold nnd aro raisod moro for food purposes than as beasts of burden. In tho lower prov inces the curnbao, trulncd to work, are worth twice as much as tho Igorrote animals. It is impossible te explain the neces sity of taxation to Fomelooy, who sturdily insists his poople never paid taxes and gain nothing by contribut ing to the government.

Tho roads will hus bo en abled to materially Improve tho service and facilities for the benefit of tho peoplo tributary to tho present unit projected linos."
