So with the two senators and nine representatives selected by the governor and 81 representatives and 24 senators elected by the people the Philippine Islands will have a legislature empowered to pass practically all laws for the control of the islands. with such exceptions as are placed in this bill as a limitation. Mr. President. I think those exceptions are pretty well understood. The Philippine Legislature can not pass laws on the subject of coinage or immigration without the approval of the President of the United States. It can not pass certain laws with relation to the public domain without the approval of the President of the United States.
