Filipinos and they held % per cent or
the positions. The average monthly sal
airy had increased by $50 for Americans
and So for Filipinos. In 1912 the civil
service records showed 1850 Americans
and 6.033 Filipinos, giving the latter 50
per cent Of the positions. The Americans
drew $4.623.D62, while that allotted to
Fflipinos was 81. 1874 OST. The average
American salary was $1,725 year. while
the ratio for Filipinos 1853. This
shows that while the percentage Of
Americans has greatly decreased. the
average compensation per annum has
gone up $423. while the Filipinos are
averaging $4S per person more than in
1903. This increase in the American
!! average has been due to the substantial
promotions necessary to keep competent
and well trained Americans In the serv-
Ice, and to the employment in recent
years of engineering and scientific ex-
perts at salaries high enough to induce
men to leave lucrative positions in the
United States. At the same time the
average salary for both Americans and
Filipinos was sS44 in 1912, whereas in
1903 ii was $500.
At first a Filipino who took even the
second grade english examination was
a rarity but now il is quite common

also qualified for the following positions:

THE PHILIPPINES.
XW.-FiIipinizing the
Civil Service.
BY Frederic J. Haskin.

One of the first acts passed by the Phil
ippine commission was a civil service law
1t provided that, all other things being
equal, preference should be given in APP
pointments to Fflipinos and to Americans
who had seen military service, lii the or
der named. This was in obedience to the
instructions of President Mckinley to
Gov Taft, telling him always to re-
member that the islands were the natural.
II not the legal, possession of the Filipi-
nos, and that the government which the
Americans should set up should be a
government of Filipinos in so. far as was
practicable.
In the thirteen years of its operation
the Philippine civil service certainly has
exemplified the Mckinley spirit. and the
transfer Of positions from Americans to
FllipinoS has gone on SO steadily that the
complete FilpiniZing Of the service will
be accomplished perhaps even before that
unknown date in the future when the
Fihpinos are to set up a republic of their
own.
In passing the civil service act the Phil
ippine commission established and pro-
vided for the maintenance of an efficient
and honest civil service in the Philippine
Islands. At first the act applied to only
a part of the government but it has
steadily extended to all bureaus Of the
government. the provincial service, the
teaching service. and later to the munich
pal treasurers. Examinations always
have been given in English and Spanish,
but now the Spanish examinations are
being reduced to minimum because
English is spreading all over the islands
with great rapidity.
The civil service bureau was created by
this act and it conducts and judges all
examinations. keeps the record of the
entire service. unclaSsified as we'll as
classified. publishes the official rosters
and computes the amount of leave due
to each official or employee. The recon-
mendation of the director of the civil
service is required on all proposed re-
movals. reductions, suspensions and fines.
The bureau has absolute control of the
enforcement of the civil service act and
very little tampering on the part of bu-
reau chiefs is permitted.
In these respects 1t Is more powerful
than most civil service commissions, not
even excepting the United States civil
