NEEDS OF FILIPINOS
FREE TRADE, MONEY FOR FARM
ERS AND RAILWAY SYSTEM
Colonel Edwards, Chief of Insular
Bureau, Recommends Some Radical
Changes to Improve Desperate Con
dition of Our Oriental Subjects
Washington, Dec. Col. Clarence
R. Edwards, chief of the bureau of
insular affairs, in his annual report
to the secretary of war, states
that the three most important needs,'
of the Philippine islands today are a
market, the opportunity for farmers
to borrow money at reasonable rates
of interest and adequate transporta
tion facilities. Provision for the lat
ter has ; been made by congress. He
says the first of these needs, so far
as it may bo provided by the reduc
tion of the Dingley tariff on Philippine
products, gained the consideration of
congress in its last days and a nine
to nine verdict in favor of the propo
sition was given but too late to be
finally acted upon by either the house
or the senate.
No Cause for Apprehension
The report recites tnat it is under
stood that there is still considerable
apprehension that this will interfere
with the sugar and tobacco industries
in this country, but the belief is ex
pressed that with possibly one or two
exceptions those congressmen who
had an opportunity to investigate the
subject at first hands last summer,
are convinced that there is needless
apprehension that any damage will
obtain.
Colonel Edwards says the recom
mendation upon which the Curtis bill
will be based will be presented to the
coming congress with the additional
recommendations. ..,. . . .
Agricultural Bank
Attention is called to the considera
tion which has been given by the
Philippine commission to an agricul
tural bank scheme, it being stated
that at present the farmer and land
owner find It next to Impossible to
borrow money upon their lands at a
reasonable 'rate, the prevailing rates
being from 2 to 10 per cent a month.
The report says that the Philippine
commission will probably ask that it
be permitted to grant concessions and
guarantees for a private bank, the
Philippine government guaranteeing a
dividend of 4 per cent for a certain
period, and the commission regulating
loans and limiting rates, of Interest.
Homesteads Too Small
It is stated that the limitations as
to the size of the homestead Imposed
by existing laws has acted as a bar to
the development of land for agricul
tural purposes, and the belief is ex
pressed that the limitation should be
Increased to at least 160 acres for a
single homestead entry and materially
increased for corporations in the less
populated islands, "especially in the
islands of Mindora, Palawan and
Mindanao, where only great Induce
ments to capital will ever reclaim
valuable lands from rn. jungle and
savagery."
The rise in the price of silver,
which has occurred within the last
threo years has culminated recently
In n price which brinss the bullion
valuo In tho Philippines up to the
legal parity in pold and has caused
fears that the coins might permanent
ly go above parity. There would be
danger that this would result in the
exportation of tho corns in such
amounts na to leave tho Islands with
nn insufficient nupply of currency.
Silver Will Not Down
Whllo there are ome reason for
thinking that tho present rrlco of
silver may not be permanent, it seem
desirable that con smut should take
rocAaurea to provide for the con
Plea.. Mention THE INDEPENDENT
tingency of a further rise which
would embarass tho monetary cir
culation of the islands. It may, how
ever, under the conditions which have
now arisen, be found wi3e to meet
the rise In the price of silver by au
thorizing a return to a coin contain
ing less pure silver than now in use.
This result could be attained by the
reduction of the weight or fineness or
both of the, coins to be hereafter is
sued for the Philippine islands, with
authority . to jecoin, in the discretion
of the commission, the existing
pieces.
Appropriate authority should be
given the Philippine government, it is
suggested, to legislate for naturaliza
tion as to citizenship in the islands.
The aggregate revenue from the date
of American occupation to January 30
last was $82,733,108 and the expendi
tures for that period were $77,710,736.
The United Kingdom continues to
dominate the foreign carrying trades!
of the islands, nearly 60per cent of
the value of imports arriving and
over 75 per cent of the exports de
parting under the British fiag.
