PHILIPPIME CONGRESS IS NOW
ACTING SNHTS'OWN AUTHORITY
Masils. P. I, Jan. 9—The work of
the Philippine Congress is largely con
cerming itsel with reorgamzation of
the goverament alopg more independ
snt Limes. Heretofore all legislaiive
mezsures in the Philippines have De
gun with the words “By authority of
the Congress of the United \"L\ be
it enacted by ihe Philippine Legisla
ture.” Cne of ithe firs{ msasures pass
ed by the new insular congress assem
bled. was 2 change to read “The
Senate and House of Representatives
in Congress assembel, decress” elc.,
meaning of course that the Filipino
{ congress is now acting on its own
| authority.
! A bill for the organization of six
| executives has passed hoth houess of
{ congress. The departments are those
| of public instruction, interior, finance
ijusli(*o. agricultural and natural re
sources, and commerce and communi
i(-atiun. The department of public
| instruction is to be headed by an ap
pointee of the President of the Uni
ted States who will be vice-governor
of the Philippines, and the insular
| congress will have no voice in his
naming, but the other departments
Imay be headed by local appointees
who will probably be seclected from
I'!:e Filipino Cecngress. The bili pro
[vides that the bureau of civil service
shall be under theé direct control of
the governor-general, a measure de
signed to keep the bureau from the
contamination of politics.
The new department heads will
comprise the cabinet of the governor
general and be responsible to him,
but their presence may be required
by either House of congrss which in
+his way, hopes to keep final control
of their actions in its own hands.
The congress is trying to avoid fil
ibusters, and the senate has adopted
a rule that no member may use more
than three hours in*speaking on a
measure after two senators of the mi
‘ nority have spoken, and a vote of the
'majority may e¢lose the debate.
