Commission is authorized and required to make all regulations and provisions necessary for the enforcement of this section in the Philippine Islands, including the form and substance of the certificate of residence, so that the same shall clearly and sufficiently identify the holder thereof and enable officials to prevent fraud in the transfer of the same: Provided, however, That if said Philippine Commission shall find that it is impossible to complete the registration herein provided for within one year from the passage of this act, said commission is hereby authorized and empowered to extend the time for such registration for a further period not exceeding one year.

GOVERNMENT OF THE PHILIPPINE Islands,

EXECUTIVE BUREAU,

Manila, P. I., September 23, 1904.

EXECUTIVE ORDER
No. 38

WHEREAS, The Department of Commerce and Labor of the United States has, under date of July 27, 1903, issued certain rule to regulate the admission of Chinese persons from the Philippine Islands into the mainland territory of the United States and into the insular possessions of the United States other than the Philippine Islands, which said rule [as amended] is as follows:

SUBDIVISION I. Citizens of insular territory other than Hawaii.— If Chinese persons of the exempt classes who are citizens of other insular territory of the United States than the Territory of Hawaii desire to go from such insular territory to the mainland or from one insular territory to another, they shall comply with the terms of Section 6 of the act approved July 5, 1884. The certificate prescribed by said section shall be granted by officers designated for that purpose by the chief executive of said insular territories, and the duties thereby imposed upon United States diplomatic and consular officers in foreign countries in relation to Chinese persons of the said classes shall be discharged by the officers in charge of the enforcement of the Chineseexclusion acts at the ports, respectively, from which any members of such excepted classes intend to depart from any insular territory of the United States: Provided, however, That the privilege of transit shall be extended to all persons other than laborers.

SUBD. 2. Citizens and exempt residents of Hawaii.-As all persons who were citizens of the Republic of Hawaii on August 12, 1898, are citizens of the United States, persons of the Chinese race claiming such status may be admitted at either mainland or insular ports of entry upon producing evidence sufficient to establish such claim. Citizens of the Chinese Republic of the exempt classes residing in Hawaii must obtain certificates from the representative of their own government (the Chinese consul, Honolulu), and such certificates must be viséed by the inspector in charge of the immigration service in said islands, instead of by a diplomatic or consular officer.

SUBD. 3. Citizens and exempt residents of the Philippine Islands.— The Governor General of the Philippine Islands having, by executive order No. 38, of September 23, 1904, designated the collector of customs, Manila, to issue to Chinese citizens of those islands the certificate provided by Section 6 of the act of July 5, 1884, and it being impracticable to require that such certificate shall be viséed, officers at ports of entry for Chinese will regard certificates issued to such Philippine citizens in the same manner as certificates issued by officials of foreign countries and viséed by American diplomatic or consular officers. Certificates issued by the Chinese consul general, Manila, to citizens of the Chinese Republic residing in the Philippines will be viséed by the collector of customs at Manila, and when so viséed will be accorded the usual consideration.

AND WHEREAS, It is the desire of the government of the Philippine Islands to afford to such eligible Chinese persons, residents, of these islands, as desire to depart out of the same for other parts or possessions of the United States, the privilege so to do and to give evidence of such permission and of the status of each person so permitted in the manner now required by law in the case of Chinese persons departing out of a foreign country as nearly as may be: Now, therefore,

... The collector of customs for the Philippine Islands is hereby designated to grant such permission in the name of the government of the Philippine Islands to all such Chinese persons as shall have duly established to his satisfaction their eligibility under the law to enter the mainland territory of the United States or any other of its insular possessions.

This permission, and the prima facie establishment of the facts showing eligibility, shall be evidenced by a certificate signed and approved by him in analogy to the certificate required by Section 6 of the act of Congress of July 5, 1884, and referred to in the rule above cited.

It is further ordered that in the case of Chinese persons coming from the other insular possessions of the United States to the Philippine Islands, bearing certificates issued in pursuance of the rule above mentioned, they shall be accorded at the ports of the Philippine Islands the same rights of entry as they would have did they come possessed of similar certificates issued by a foreign government.

... Provided, That all charges for maintenance or return of Chinese persons applying for admission to the United States shall hereafter be paid or reimbursed to the United States by the person, company, partnership, or corporation bringing such Chinese to a port of the United States as applicants for admission.

1913-Act of June 23, 1913 (38 Stat. L., 4, 65)—An Act Making appropriations for sundry civil expenses of the Government for the fiscal year ending June thirtieth, nineteen hundred and fourteen and for other purposes.

Provided, That from and after July first, nineteen hundred and thirteen, all Chinese persons ordered deported under judicial writs shall be delivered by the marshal of the district or his deputy into the custody of any officer designated for that purpose by the Secretary of Labor, for conveyance to the frontier or seaboard for deportation in the same manner as aliens deported under the immigration laws.

APPENDIX 5

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Statements showing appropriations, receipts, expenditures and other financial data for a series of years constitute the most effective single means of exhibiting the growth and development of a service. Due to the fact that Congress has adopted no uniform plan of appropriation for the several services and that the latter employ no uniform plan in respect to the recording and reporting of their receipts and expenditures, it is impossible to present data of this character according to any standard scheme of presentation. In the case of some services the administrative reports contain tables showing financial conditions and operations of the service in considerable detail; in other financial data are almost wholly lacking. Careful study has in all cases been made of such data as are available, and the effort has been made to present the results in such a form as will exhibit the financial operations of the services in the most effective way that circumstances permit.

The Bureau of Immigration collects various fees and head taxes. The total receipts from these sources for the period 1904-1923, inclusive, are as follows:

Prior to 1914 appropriations were made for the use of the "Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization." The amounts were appropriated for use in both immigration and naturalization work. Since 1914 each bureau has been appropriated for separately. In the following statement the item "appropriation appropriation" includes all deficiency amounts excepting "auditors' certified claims." The latter are usually small and in most cases arise as the result of the lapse of an appropriation. The expenditures for the years 19141920, inclusive, are figured on the accrual basis and represent, therefore, the total amount expended out of an appropriation, regardless of whether the expenditure was made during the current fiscal year for which the appropriation was made or during the two succeeding years in which the money was available. The "expenditures" for 1922 and 1923 show expenditures during the current fiscal year only.
