Without going further into detail, the
conclusion is evident that all officials of high rank are much better
paid in the Dutch service. When a comparison is made between the chief
clerks and other office employees of middle grades--not natives--the
salaries are seen to be about the same in the two countries.
"All natives in positions of lower grades, however, in the Philippine
Islands fare better than their Malay brethren, either in the Straits
Settlements or in the East Indies."--(Second Annual Report of the
Philippine Civil Service Board, pp. 60, 61.)
"Difference in salaries for subordinate positions in the British and
Dutch colonial services and the Philippine service are distinctly
in favour of subordinate employees in the Philippine service; only
the higher officials, after long experience, in the British colonial
service receive larger salaries than corresponding officials in the
Philippine service; the leave of absence and other privileges for
the Philippine service are not less liberal than for other colonial
services."--(Report of the Philippine Commission for 1905, p. 74.)
The entrance salaries of Americans brought to the islands are
considerably in excess of the entrance salaries received on appointment
to the civil service in the United States.
