Secretary of Wnr Dickinson gives little encouragement to ti c isplrntlona of tho Filipino people for po'ltlcal Independence in his special re port on his visit to thu Philippine islands tr nnmlttoil to President Taft While in my Filipinos, Secretary Dickinson says n-'u well eo.ucatcd nnil capable of self- V, vornmont tho Kro.it mnss of the people u i iindt. for political responsibilities. Mr Dickinson spent about live weeks ti visiting tlio Islands. Ilei was ncegm- f i"led by Rrlg-Oon.

He refrains, however, from milking n definite re-commendatlon on this point because the question lb now being In vostlgnted by a committee of Congress. 'The work of preparing the Filipinos for popular sedf-govcrzimnnt," says Sec retary Dickinson, "is steadily progress ing along tho lines v,hlch have been ap proved by you. I short refer more partic ularly to thn various kinds of ndmlnttra tlvo work, but will hern say that the ad ministration of the various departments Is n e generally satisfactory condition and 'lint tho best results are being at tnlned with the means at hand rind under the conditions that must be contended Kith On the whole 1 believe that the administration of tho Islands Is such that It should give (satisfaction to the Amer ican people. "T io Filipino people." he continues, "are substantially In the same attltudo as when you visited them In 1X17. Training in administrative work and education Is doing much, but they have affected such n small percentage of the population that the chant; Is hardly sensible. FILIPINOS ARE PROGREBSING. "Tho results," ho adds, "will manifest themselvca in a rapidly Increasing ratio when those, who are now being educated reach 'ii ago when their Influence can be felt In public life. There aro very many 1 Ighly educated Filipinos, many men of talent, ability and brilliancy, but the per centage In comparison with those who nio wholly untrained In an understanding of and tho exercise of political rights under n republican form of government Is so mini and under tho 1-est and most rapid development possible under oxlntlng con dition" will for a long period continue so final' th.it It Is a delusion if tho present policy of control of tho islands by the American people shall continue to en courage tho Filipino, people In the hope that i e tdrninlstratlon of the Inlands will 1" t'l.ied over lo them within tho time of ' e present gene-ration. The only Inhabitants of tho Islands 4 ii " re malting any marked progress In preparation for self-government are 'he Fldplnos proper, and, as stated, but ii small percentage of these are sufflclent Jv erln. ated lo understand and admlriister repubu-an Institutions.

Wnshlngton, Doe. 8. A rnrtlal solution of tho problem of tho high cost of llvlni v suggested by Secrotary of Agriculture JnineM llson lu his annual report mnd public yesterday. After showing that tho price of farm prodltcl.'i H IncrensKl from 60 per cent. lo nearly 1C0 per cent, from tho tlmo they leave th- producer until they rench the consumer, the nocietnry snys; "Why do not eionsiimerH buy directly from the farmers? A distribution of farm products In thD simple way hah already begun In Knglanfl. where co fponitlvi. orgiuilzatlon of farmers nro selling by direct consignment to co operative nrgnnlKiitlons of consumers In rltleu ' FarmetM' co-operative selling associa tion .ife iiiimerous In tills ii.untry. but co-operative bujlng nssoii. tmns among the per pip of citlts nnd t"" n are Piw. Ai Me (mm Miylirr assoeiuioiis main tained by farmers, hardly any exl't in this country. It Is apparent, therefore, t it tho i ritisumar has n uch to do to w irk out his own salvation with regard to the r.rtees that ho pays. Potatoes wi re selllm last spring In some places wheic them had been overproduction for SO r ints and In some places lor even 3 i ems per bu.iliel nt the farm, whflo a tin! same time city coiiauincrs in tho Kasl were paying fr) to 7f cents per bu'.liiil, although there was nothing to prevent rhfin from combining to buy a tnjiind ,ir moie of potatoes directly filing the ,?roW'jr nnd for delivery direct ly io themselves." "FARM ICR NOT TO BLAME." Secretary Wilson sUtcs that the far mer probnlly Is not receiving a larger share of the price paid by the consumer than bo rerolvrd 10 years ago, and that ho may be lecolving a smaller share. The large ndvanco In prior received bv the fsrmer since V!, he says, was merely a matter of Justice to the farmer to equal Izn thu reward of his effortf with the re wards received In other Unci of produc tion. Prior to 1SU7, he says, the prices re ceived by tho farmer were often less than the cost of pioduetlon and often little If nny above that cost. Taking up tho tensons for Inrre-nsod prices to ihe consumer, tho secretary re fers to his last report In which ho point ed rut that tho price paid lor help by the consumer throughout tho I'nlter States wns 38 per cent, higher than the whole sale price received by the large slaugh tering houses He adds: "It wa,s found that tho percentage of Increase waa uuallv lower In the larger Mil, . thnn In the smaller ones and higher In the case of beef tHat Is cheip at whole sale thnn of high-priced beef. It was a jafe Inference that tho poorer people paid nearly twice tho gross profit that tho moro well-to-do people paid." MIDK TRUST TAKKS ABOUT FIAX.F. 'Ibe milk trust, It appears from the teport, takes ui per wnt. of the prico paid by the consumer less 7 per cent, taken by thn rai:riul. The report says; "Amithi.T lnve.-tuatlon into tlio in crease of price'! in the process of dis tribution wns made In tho Inst week of June, 1010. This tlmo the object wns to discover what fraction of the con sumer's prlco was received by tho farmer. Tho Investigation covered 78 cltie?. "Milk km ono of the commodities under Investigation, a food product In dispensable to a Inrgu fraction of the families of the nation, and now a costly one lo all consumers. "While It Is true that the dairyman Is rucilvlng considerably more for his milk than l.e did before the present era of hihh prli es, yet It was discovered In this Investigation that throughout tno United States ho receives a scant 60 pr cent., or ono huif of the price paid by tho consumer. The other half goes to tho iallwny company for car riage, to tho wholesale milk dealer. If there Is one In tho chain of distribution. anil to the retntler who delivers at tho consumer's door." Itefeirlng to an Investigation mado by the industrial commission ten years ago thn secretary says: "It Js believed that the t.itioi between produo r's and con sumer' . ;n ices aro appi nvlmatcly the stima now as then." WHAT Till-: OTDDU2MAX GETS. Tho report continues that in tho care of vegetables and frulta there iore many can's found of Increase of co:viumrs' price over furmer'i price amounting from 75 lier cent, to 400 por cent. Ho then says: "Tho Import prico ot coffee In tho (local year 1010, which was eight cents a pound, after the Increase to 20 and 35 cents per pound to the retailer, has ilsen in price to tho consume r from 160 to 27.6 pe r cent. So with lea of the saino fiscal year; Its Import price of ic, cents per pound, after being Increased lo 60 and 70 cents per pound, cost the consumer nn sdvanco of 3;.ij to 337.5 per cent, "Define assigning to middlemen tho various increases of prices, It Is propor to deduct the pereentngoa duo to freight rates. The freight charge for milk ro celved lit Now York Is about IS per cent, of the producer's prico and in Chicago nlKiut 14.7 per cent.'' Tho poi (outages of farm prico for which fi right chnrges stand mav bo estimated, ho snys, nt approximately 0.9 of I per cunt, of the factory prico for butter, 1.3 per cent, for eggs, 13.i pur cent, for ap ples, 4 3 per cent, for beans and 14.8 per cent, for potatoes, Ho continue: "From the details that have been pre sented with regard to the lncrenso of thn prices of farm products between furmer and consumer, the conclusion la inevi table that tho consumer bus no well grounded aomplalnt against the farmer for the prlcos thnt he pays."
