System Whereby Philippine
Municipalities Will Have
Home Rule.
AN INITIAL EXPERIENCE
Filipinos Will Have q Say In Their
Local Government For First
Time In Their History.
Gen. Otis Has Approved Of the Sys-
tenn Of Municipal Government to
Become 1t Once Effective.

Manila, April GA scheme Of munic
ipal government, prepared by a mike,
board. Of which Senior Arellano is tn
president, has received the approval o
Gem Otis.
The report OF this board provides 70
the establishment OF municipalities il
the first place, and, secondly, defines
how these governments shall be ad
ministered in . liberal and autono
nous spirit.
This viii be the first time that the
Filipinos have enjoyed the right OF
suffrage in the election Of officers anC
the establishment of decentralized
town government outside the contro
Of the provincial assembly.
According to the scheme. the Off
cials Of municipalities are the proper
officials to hold and spend all public
moneys. The scheme provides ample
powers for the alcaldes in financial
matters, and there 10 also ample pro-
vision for the hearing Of persons who
may object to the arrangements and
who may desire to submit evidence In
rebuttal- Such a thing as this was
never known before in the Philippines.
The plan, which evidently shows the
good intentions Of the Americans, re
tains the original town limits The
walled city Of Manila, however, is not
included In the scheme. The local
government is vested In the alcalde
ana q council chosen by qualified yot-
ers, and a municipal lieutenant elect
Cd for q 2-year term. One-half the
members Of the council are to be elect
cd annually. The qualifications of
voters are that they must be % years
Of age. and must have resided at least

pesos annually In taxes and can read
and write and speak English or Span

ant or members Of the council must be
ut least 26 years of age. and must
have resided ut least one year in the
district In addition they must be able
to speak and write English and the
local dialects.
The,local officials. including the lieu
tenant and the councillors. are to serve
without salary. The salaries of the
alcaldes and treasurers are to be nxed
to the resources of the vari-
Gus towns. but they must not exceed
81 200 per annum- The provincial gov
ernor is ex offiicio president of the
council. and has general supervision
over town affairs. He can remove of
ficials and appoint new ones
The comma nding officers of each

regular reports recommending towns
that are capable Of selfgovernment
When this is approved In any particu-
lar town the military officers must call
and canvass the district and designate
three residents who shall administer
the elective oath to all voters. This
order goes into effect Immediately. Ii
