Hon, Jaime C. de Veyra, Who Has Just Been Re-elected as Philippine Commissioner to the U. S. MEET THE DE VEYRA FAMILY! They Are Putting the Philippines on the Map in Washington Mrs. Jaime C. de Veyra. Work for ple in America, She Is Doing Important Her Peo- THE CHILDREN OF THE PHILIPPINE COMMISSIONER. The Baby of This Group Speaks Three Languages—Visayan, Spanish and English. Permit us to present the De Veyra: family. The Hon. Jaime C. de Veyra ts the Resident Commissioner from the Phil ippine Islands to the United States and has just been elected to a second term of three years, As Resident Commis sioner he bas a seat op the floor of the American Congress, the privilege of taking part in debates, although no vote. Commissioner de Veyra has an inter- esting wife and four bright Filipino kiddies. The De Veyra family, individ- ually and collectively, constitute the best argument as to the tact and capa- bilities of Filipinos that the Philippine Islands have in Washington. The commissioner is a 100 per cent Filipino, a Visayan, and is one of the foremost leaders of the party in power in the Islands, During American occu- pation he has been successively gov- ernor of his province, member of the Philippine legislature, cabinet mem ber and executive secretary of the islands, Like many statesmen of the Phillp- pines, he was originally a newspaper man, He was one of the founders of El Nuevo Dia of Cebu, the first Fill pino paper published advocating Phil- | ippine independence, The paper came under the censorship of Ge ul Me Intyre, and on the appearance of the first number the editers were left in| the singular position of seeing every prominent article blue penciled, Mrs, de Veyra, Uke her husband, ts} a “live wire” in the Philippines’ cause. She is the best known Filipina in America. She is an interesting public speaker and ts constantly giving illus trated lectures at women’s clubs and | other gatherings. Mrs. de Veyra is a! publicity bureau all in herself and has put the Philippines on the map, so far as the women folk of Washington con gressional circles are concerned, “I find that the Filipino people have been much misrepresented in the Unit | | ed States,” says Mrs. de Veyra, “T do not mean te infer we are perfect, for we are not, My people have most of the defects, 1 suppose, that other hu mans have, but at e suline me we are far from the people that many Americans have been made to believe Not only are we a Christian people. but our race has a his! y that we are not ashamed of, Throughout the Phil- ippine Islands the people are now sing earnestly to improve them- selves and their conditions so they will be prepared to take over their own af- fairs. V » all love America for giving ance to help ourselves and for omised us our independence, which one of the dearest desires of the entire citizenship of the islands.” To American women whose ideas of Filipinos e been founded on Sun- day ent descriptions of wild tribes, s. de Vey gentle manner and evident culture have been a reve- lation. She is sought by women’s clubs because of her charming manner as an impromptu speaker on the subject nearest her heart—the women of her country, At a recent Washington she gave wathering in pe t English a concise account of the work of a woman's club in Manila which supplies milk to the babies of the 4 and trains mothers to care for their young children, She told of another woman's club which has branches all over the Philippine Islands and which maintains day eries for the children of the work- ing women, provides Christmas cheer for the lepers, the insane and the con- , and gathers data to influence leg: islation for the benefit of Filipino wo: ; men and ehildren. The four little De Veyras, shown tn the picture, having attended the pub: Hie schools tn Manila, slipped right inte the same grades In the schools of | Washington, Even little Mary, the baby of the family, speaks three lan: guages—her native tongue, Spanish | and English, “PLAY BALL!” They can do it the year around in the Philippines. Here's indisputable evidence that the Filipino people nave veen Ameri- vanized! This photograph shows a parade whic! Manila.

Subscription one year Six months $2.00 1.25 (Strictly in advance) INDEPENDENT IN POLITICS Copy for change of a mntint be hand- | ed in by Wednesday to insure change | FRIDAY, MAY 7, 1920 | } | The United States govern. | ment is issuing Treasury Certi-| ficates of Indebtedness amount- | ing to $250,000,000 at 5 and 514 per cent, thus establishing new | high interest rate for the gov-| ernment. Liberty bonds recently | fell to a point which would yield | about 7 per cent. This has a direct bearing on the high cost of living. When, government securities bring this rate of interest it means that private firms and corporations seeking money for development , purposes must pay higher rates | of interest for the simple reason that government securities have always set the standard for low rates of interest and money for! individual or corporate loans brought higher rates. Particularly does this affect public utility bonds. In 1914 such bonds brought the investor | some 5 to 6 per cent. The in-} vestor today, however, will not loan money for private account at such rates when he can make} the same rate or better from} government securities. Hence} it is necessary for utility and railroad companies to offer a} much higher rate of interest in| order to secure funds for exten- | sions and improvements. This necessarily must be reflected i in) the fixed operating costs of) these companies and increased | rates for service must be charg-| ed to cover this added cost of se-| curing capital. | Thus, is everyday life of the} public affected by adv: incing | cost of overation of our govern-| ment. These facts must be re- cognized by public utility com- missions in establishing rates for public utility service. TO THE MOTHER OF MEN | On the second Monday in Mi: the nation will observe Mothe Day . Every one knows Mothers’ | Day—what it is, when it is, and | for what it stands. It comes as| close to our hearts as Christm | or the Fourth of July, for it i: the day upon which we hono the mother of man. The arms of motherhood form | the cradle of the human race. They are the rock upon which! we rest our hopes of the future, the guiding star which leads humanity through the perils of | infancy and into the safe harbor | of maturity. Pages upon pages | could be written of the glories of | our mothers, but not all of the words of the English language could do them justict. It is be-} yond the power of our humble} pen. All honor to the mother of man! May her days and her joys upon earth be many, and may) her home in the next world be one worthy of the greatest hand- | iwork of God.—Nezperce Herald. TO SAVE GOLD MINING. | As our gold supply is rapidly disappearing due to the impos- sibility of mining gold at the) present price of $20.67 an ounce, a bill has been introduced in! Congress which would establish | a premium of $10 an ounce on al] | gold sold by the government for manufacturing purposes such as jewelry, etc. The price to the mint for coinage purposes would remain the same. Thg $10 an ounce premium thus collected would be paid by the govern- ment to the gold miner to help cover his increased cost of opera- tion and thus prevent the dis- appearance of the gold mining industry of the United States. Governor Emmet D. Boyle of Nevada has pointed out that the annual consumption of gold for manufacturing purposes last year exceded production in this | country by approximately $21,- 000,000 and the discrepancy will be greater this year. Industry is paying a greater price for everything except gold | and the increased price per ounce will save the day without changing the gold standard thus upsettmg our whole system of | values and credits. | », attorney | ranza | Coppevent, Hugh S.
