POLITICAL PICkINGS.
Expansion Will Create $1,000 New
Federal Offices.

Washington, Oct. 16.-An estimate of
the volume of patronage in the Philip
pine Archipelago in event of the sub
jugation Of the natives. can only be
made by comparing the opportunities
there with those in the West Indian
and other islands The latest govern
ment report on their population, COM
merce and resources show them to be
even richer than Cuba. The patronage
therefore will be enormous. Manila,
with its $40, 600. 600 trade, its no. 900 pop
ulatiOn and its position as the metrop-
oils of Luzon, will require large force
of officials.
In this island alone there are 1913 cities
having q population of from 900 to 40
600 each, in addition to 185 cities having
a population Of less than 5000 and more
than 4 600 each.
To administer the governmental af-
fairs of this single island with it's g.
100000 inhabitants, will require on
conservative estimate the services of
$500 men at an annual cost of So, 500, 600.
This assigns only one official to each
1000 population, which official must be
a sort of composite postmaster, revenue
collector, judge. clerk of all work, and
he must be satisfied with an average
salary of 81, 900 a year
In Mindanao, with $40. 900 population.
there are only eight large and "a small
cities. but in Cebu there are "A cities
over 5000 and so cities under that fig
ure, with total population in the is
land of 504, 900.
The island called Panay has 81, 900
people, with "a cities over the 5000
mark, and 81 under that figure. These
are not savage's shacks, but centers of
industry or agriculture and or COM
merce. many of them with cathedrals,
schools, palaces, telegraph and postof-
fees.
Between 5000. 600 and 10000. 600 people
occupy the Philippines. These, with the
other island possessions, make a grand
total of between 14,000.O 600 and 5000 600
over whom executive functions must be
exercised
1t will thus be seen that the patron
age of the new possessions will be only
slightly less in proportion to existing
federal appointments, which are, in
round numbers, 1000 600 offices for the
75O00,0 600 population on the continent.
There will be added fully Is per cent or
Is 900 offices to the vast army of ap-
pOintees now credited to the president.
involving $4,000. 900 annually or a grand
total of sec. 600 900 in patronage for the
four years of the full presidential term.
