PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE
Under the bill granting independence to the Philip
pine Islands in 12 years the proponents of liberty as a
principle triumphed over liberty translated into mater
ialism in which the dollar stood out over principle.
Under the debate in Congress it was shown that there
is invested in the Philippines a total of $197,000,000
American dollars, of which $05,000,000 represents Philip
pine bonds sold undei sanction of the Federal govern
ment, .and $7,384,000 of Philippine railway bonds and
$953,000 of miscellaneous bonds.
It was the fate of this investment which for a time
stood in the way of granting independence.
To meet the possible default of these bond invest
ments it is provided that the Philippine government im
pose a graduated export tax extending upward from the
first seven years to this final period, receipts from this
source of revenue to be impounded for the purpose of ul
timate retirement of this bonded indebtedness.
Beginning at the c-nd of this seven-year period, the
United States tariff laws will become effective on Filipino
imports to this country. If, after the end of the seven
year period, a plebicitc held by the Philippine government
shows the people committed to complete independence,
the United States lias one year in which to withdraw
completely from the islands.
The independence bill was a compromise between an
18-year and an eight-year period of complete termination
United States sovereignty.
Thus the people of the islands will have eight years
in which to prepare themselves for conquest of other
than United States markets, which they have enjoyed
under free trade since the islands passed to American
control. They will have time to judge whether or not it
were better to enjoy conditions they have than be compell
ed to create their "own fiscal system, and face the same
tariff restrictions which are imposed upon other nations.
While New Yorkers are shouting for protection of
the Alaska bear we take pleasure in countering: They
mis'ht do something tc protect their Wall Street bulls.
A visitor to New York was inspecting Radio Center.
“But what does this colossal enterprise signify to the av
erage man?”
“But lock how our future ancient ruins will dwarf
anything appearing since the pyramids.
The slump in the price of lead is attributed to the
gangsters granting permission to (hioago to hold a
World's Fair while they call a mice.
Maybe all
lection of bears
;hi? talk by Holzworth, et al., about pro
finds its inspiration in Wall Street.
Liquor can bo manufactured for 40c per gallon, and
with a tax of $5 can sell for S18 instead of $100 for ‘mule/
Alaska had better hurry and get a bounty on wolves
before somebody recognizes the packs overrunning New
York and breaks the treasury.
