Igorrotes Opposo Taxes.
Seattle, Wash., April 21. 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.

"There is little doubt, thnt whom

tho construction by older lines nf n lets
