In fact, the salary
of the Governor-General of Java is somewhat remarkable in contrast
with that of the Civil Governor of the Philippines. As is well known,
the latter receives $20,000, while the salary of the Governor-General
of Java amounts to 132,000 gulden or something over $53,000. The
American official is given, in addition, free transportation on all
official investigations and free use of the governor's palace, but
not the cost of maintenance. On the other hand, the Dutch governor
is granted 51,000 gulden (about $21,500) as personal and household
expenses and travel pay.
"The general secretary of the government receives 24,000 gulden
($9648), as compared with the executive secretary of the Philippine
government, whose salary is $7500. [489] The seven heads of departments
in the Javanese service each receive a like compensation of 24000
gulden. The Raad, or Council, of the Dutch colonial government
is composed of a vice-president and four members--the former
receiving about $14,500, the latter slightly over $11,500 each. In
the Philippine government the executive functions of heads of
departments are exercised by four members of the legislative body,
each of whom receives $10,500 for his executive services and $5000
for his legislative duties.
