POLYGAMY IN
PHILIPPINES IS
ON A DECLINE
MANILA, P. I., July 6 (by Associat
ed Press).—Practice of polygamy in
the Philippine Islands is being reduc
ed through education of girls of the
leading families of the outlying pro
vinces, according to Frank V. Car
penter, who has just retired as gov
ernor of the department of Mindanao
and Sulu.
Mr. Carpenter says: “the treaty
guarantees to the sultan and his peo
ple “the same religious freedom had
by all adherents of all other religious
creeds, the practice of which is not
in violation of the basic principles of
the laws of the United States.”
“It is important to note,” said Car
penter in one of his messages written
as governor, “that this includes a
limitation as to religious practice
which necessarily includes the aban
donment of polygamy. There can be
no question that it will disappear as
the relative number of persons of the
two sexes reach an approximate na
tural equality.
“An effort to impose upon the peo
ple of the sultan at this time the in
validation of polygamous marriages
heretofore contracted, the prohibition
at this time of polygamy or the dis
continuance of divorce, must invaribly
result in the active resistance of a
people imbued with fanatic determina
tion to die rather than submit to a pri
vation of their religious liberty in mat
ters they believe to be fundamental
and sanctioned by divine authority.”
Mr. Carpenter said that girls of
prominent families in Mindanao and
Sulu are being sent to Manila public
schools where they associated with
Christian girls and gradually become
imbued with the monogamaus ideas
held by the Christians. The girls are
advised to adhere strictly to their
own Mohammedan religion as their
influence, it is said would be des
troyed if they abandoned it. When
they return to their own people their
influence tends to eliminate plural
marriages, according to Carpenter,
v- who predicted that the practice will
be virtually wiped out in the course
of a few years.
BUT THREE JAGS AND
THEN YOU ARE POSTED
ASUNCION, July 6 (by Associated
Press).—Persons arrested for drunk
eness more than three times a year
in Paraguay will be considered con
firmed drunkards and their photo
graphs posted in saloons and police
stations under the provisions of a bill
which has been approved by the sen
ate and is now before the lower house.

of liquor in theaters, moving picture
houses, race tracks and other places
of public gathering and within two
hundred meters of places of public
work. The president is empowered
to issue a decree determining the al

[ AUTHORS TO FIGHT ROYALTY TAXES ~[
Rex Beach (portrait herewith), j
the Chicago novelist, is president of
the Authors’ league, and the league has
decided to go to grips with Uncle Sam
on the income tax. Royalties from
books, short stories, plays and other
literary work are dividends1, the writ
ers have decided.
With this as a major promise, the
Author’s league has reached the con
clusion that writers, struggling and
otherwise, are not subject to the bur
densome normal tax provisions of the
federal income tax, and they have ad
vised their 1,800 or more members to
file their returns accordingly.
If they are sustained by the com
missioner of internal revenue they will
have to pay only the surtax—which
is on dividends totaling more than
$5,000.
The league’s fight on the “inequal
ities that now bear so heavily upon the
writer and the artist’’ was started at.
a meeting of the executive committee, which is composed of Gelett Burgess,
George Creel, Owen Davis, Parker Fillmore, James Forbes, Arthur Guiterman,
Henry Sydnor Harrison, Rupert Hughes, Orson Lowell, J. Hartley Manners,
Alice Duer Miller, Harvey O’Higgins, Channing Pollock, Arthur Somers Roche,
Leroy Scott and Jesse Lynch Williams.
The letter enjoining the 1,800 members to list their royalties as dividends
was sent out over the signature of Eric Schuler, secretary.
