Excerpt from Foreign Commerce of the Philippine Islands: July-December, 1910 and 1911, and the Years Ending December, 1909, 1910, and 1911 The cotton trade in 1910 surpassed all records and reached a value of over ten million dollars. In the reduced total of 1911 practically all contributors of any importance shared in the reduction except the United States and Japan. Textiles, which comprise the greater part of this trade, declined from to but American goods continued to show increased values and represented over half of the redriced total. The introduction of American textiles into the Philippines is one of the most striking results of the establishment of free trade, with the value of these imports in 1908 against in 1911. Prints comprise about 25 per cent of cotton textiles and are for the most part of American origin, as well as the relatively small trade in unbleached goods. In the two leading classes of bleached and dyed textiles the United States furnished slightly less than half of the totals, and these imports by months were fairly constant from foreign countries, but it is to be noted that there was a marked shrinkage in imports of American dyed textiles as well as of prints from both the United States and other sources during the latter half of the year.

Excerpt from Reciprocity and the Philippine Islands Miscellaneous articles that belong in this table, but are not enumerated, will swell the total to in excess of six hundred million dollars. One cannot but be impressed by the virtual necessity, under the standard of living that now obtains in the United States, of practically all articles named above. And so essential are these things considered, and to such small extent is the United States able to produce them, that out of the entire list of 19 classesof commodities enumerated, comprising nearly 40 per cent of the total imports for the year, there are but two on which a duty is levied in the United States. The other seventeen enter free of duty no matter from what quarter they may come. If the United States were selling to those countries from which this tremendous flood of importations is pouring in each year, a proportionate amount of its own products, the commerce would stand on a satisfactory basis and there would be no occa sion for concern. But it is not selling them more than half as much as it buys from them and, unless conditions undergo a radical change, it never will. To the casual observer unacquainted with the actual figures and existing conditions, it would seem that the United States should supply to tropical and semi-tropical peoples a large share of their needs. The imports of such countries are made up for the most part of three principal groups of commodities, viz: Cotton goods, iron and steel manufactures and foodstuffs. Cot tons comprise approximately 30 per cent of the whole while iron and steel manufactures and {foodstuffs in varying propor tion, amount to nearly 50 per cent. With the superior advantages enjoyed by the United States in the production of such articles, it should be able to rival Ger many and Great Britain which are the most powerful compe titors for the world's commerce. But though sentiment and points of proximity and mutual interest may be favorable, it is not able to secure even a reasonable minor share of the trade in lines that it should, under ordinary rules, -control. How ever, the explanation of this is not difficult. For years the American manufacturer has been so entirely occupied with the work of supplying the home market which, on account of being highly protected, is vastly more profitable than the foreign, that he has lacked the time, if not the inclination, to cultivate the markets of other countries. The United States has been developing with such wonderful rapidity that the energy of its business elements has been taxed to the limits of their capacity in providing the requirements of the home field, and only dur ing periods of financial or economic depression has serious thought been given to the export trade.

Excerpt from The Facts as to the Philippine Islands: Compiled for the Enlightenment of the American People Forty seven million dollars doesn't sound very big when we are dealing in the figures of the world's commerce, but the forty seven million dollars in trade that passed between the archipelago and the mainland of the United States during the calendar year 1912, when analyzed and viewed from the different angles of Past, Present, and Future, carries a story that must make every thoughtful person in the land sit up and take notice, for the greater part of it has been created since enactment of the Payne bill, that tardy act which gave American products blanket protection in Philippine markets and Philippine products a sort of limited, half hearted preference in those of the United States. But, imperfect though it be, still it is along the right lines and what it already has done furnishes a basis for estimating the possibilities of the future. In Spanish times we sold the islands a bare half million dollars worth a year. This consisted almost wholly of petroleum and flour and went in through the British port of Hongkong. We bought at times a little Philippine sugar and Manila hemp, but a goodly part of it came through London, and from the time of the decadence of our merchant marine until the year of our Lord 1898 there wasno direct trade of consequence between the islands and this country. During the decade first succeed ing American occupation a slightly larger quota of hemp and sugar was bought from the islands and brought in more directly than before while in the earlier period the presence there of a large number of American troops created a demand for certain articles of United States manufacture in addition to the supplies that were sent over for the use of the Army and Navy. But the growth of this trade was quite slow up to 1909, the year of enactment of the Payne bill. In the year pre ceding notwithstanding that we had been in the islands for a decade and had there, in the mil itary and naval service, in insular government employ and in civil pursuits, fully Americans, our exports of merchandise to the Philippines amounted in value to less than ten million dollars. Five years later, in 1913 (fiscal Year), they had grown to In fifteen years from today, or in less time, if given the proper incentive for development, the Filipino people will be consuming each year full three hundred million dollars worth of American commodities and will be supplying us with a corresponding amount of tropical products, thus lessening to that extent the unfavorable balance of trade that piles up against us annually in our commerce with countries that now supply our requirements in this direction. For be it known that we are spending over seven hundred million dollars a year in tropical countries that supply us with cocoa, coffee, rubber, silk, sugar, tobacco, vegetable fibers and similar articles, while they buy from us of our products a scant half of that amount in return.

Excerpt from The Philippine Islands: Illustrated Because of the importance of the matter and the fact that invisible influences, political and private, are working in both the lower and upper houses of the United States Con gress in both parties to force these valuable Islands out of the hands of their real owners - the American people - I am reprinting in this smaller form the Philippine section of my larger work, United States Colonies and Dependencies. In that are gathered the results of my observations and investiga tions in Porto Rico, Alaska, the Hawaiian Islands, Guam, the Philippines, the Panama Canal Zone, and interesting matter relative to our dependencies, Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic and the Republic of Panama. The gathering of this material involved a special trip of miles to Alaska, visits to Porto Rico, the West Indies and the Panama Canal, and a journey around the world. Altogether, I traveled about miles in securing the photographs and information used in my complete work, United States Colonies and Dependencies. The matter herein contained first appeared in The Saturday Blade, one of our four publications. If widening of human knowledge and a better capacity for the solving of our national problems are in any degree the result of this or my larger book, I shall count myself well paid. It certainly has given me a broader and more certain understanding of the world, and a larger love for my own country.

Excerpt from The Philippine Islands, 1493-1803, Vol. 34 Zar's manifesto creating and erecting the cathedral of Manila, in which, in addition to other matters, he outlines the duties Of the various Officials. Early government matters and problems that arise therein, among them the tribute and commerce, in which one can see the intimate relations between the religious and secular governments Of Spain, are touched upon. The documents for 1565-1605 show that the Philip pines have had ever since their first permanent settle ment in Cebu, a precarious existence, but that they have nevertheless advanced, although totteringly, from a very simple state to the more complicated conditions necessarily brought about by greater sta bility of government.

Excerpt from Prentice-Hall Tax Service for 1919 This allowance is not based upon the difference between the actual war cost of such facilities and what they would have cost at pre-war prices. Obviously the taxpayer is not entitled to recover or extinguish through amortization more than the difference between the war cost of such property and what he can sell the property for after the war, or if he continues to need and use it in his business, what it would have cost him after the war. As the rule is expressed in Article 183 of the Regulations: The total amount to be extinguished by amortization, in general, is the excess of the unextinguished or unrecovered cost of the property over its maximum value (either for sale or for use as part of the plant or equipment of a going business) under stable post war.
