One point at least on which
the recent Congress can con-
graduate itself is the passage
Of the Philippine Bank Bill.
1t was delared in the debate
over this measure in the
Senate that the Philippines
had Jared worse at the hands
of the United States than
they had done under the
government Of Spain. This
was distinctly untrue. The
laws of the United States
may have been almost as
harsh on paper as those OF
Spain, but they were at least
honestly administered and
the Filipinos have had a
better chance to realize what
a civilized government is than
they ever had before. Even
at that, they have not been
over well used. The failure
to pass the Philippine Tariff
Bill was denying a simple
act of justice to the Islanders.
But it is somewhat made up
for in the establishment of
the Agricultural Bank.
Some people IN this country
are protesting against the
governments guaranteeing 4
per cent on the capital. DO
they know anything Of
Philippine conditions! If
the little planter and trader
in the islands can get money
at 6 per cent and get his &C.
counts honestly handled, he
will think the millennium has
arrived. It is not much to
have done for him, but it
will help him Oh tie way to
a better understanding with
this country, and will be a
good investment.
