TAXES ARE REDUMy

troll il Porto Rico.
Budget for 1907 Estimated at -. .402.-
2s0, Customs Receipts 81, J:i2,0UO,
Leaving a. Net surplus of
SI,I7O.62f.

The first great blessing that has come
TO Porto Rico since the American occu-
patton has been the reduction of taxes
and government expenses. The budget
for 1899 has just been approved by Gen.
Henry. This covers the expenses of
what is called the "insular govern
ment." The following sums, which
would have been included in the budget
of the Spanish government for this
year. have been stricken cut
General obligations..... :. ..........s 49S5 sol
Clergy. $500. ..................... lyt,S4o
War. ........"......... I252 80
Marlne..... ...... ..................... zzz,ooe
The total of the obligations that
ceased to exist and which are deducted
from the amount of the budget is So
III, ,492. The difference that had been
expended without the realized econo-
mics herewith detailed equals s2,610.-
427. The calculated budget for 1899 is
formed of the following items
General obligations. ................$ IS 1850
ptdte oDllBauOhS. .......... ........ oVi,S5o
Justice Departmental. ............... 2Ol 452
Finance ment................... 1G9,6l0
interior department..... ............... 766,639
The customs for the coming year
were estimated TO be $3.152, 900. This
sum is to be reduced by the amount
usually raised by the duty on whea:
-four, and which has been taken off bv
Gen. Henry, equal to $500,000 This
leaves a net revenue from the custom
houses of So ,632, 900. There will remain.
therefore, an excess Of $1.170.624.
1t should be understood that the
above figures embrace only the neces-
sary expenses for the payment Of sala-
ries and other fixed charges. NJ this
amount cannot be paid from the pro-
ceeds of the customs then it must be
raised by other methods of taxation.
Gen. Henry has asked of Washington
the right 10 apply the custo toms receipts
10 the expenses of the government If
this should be permitted all govern
ment expenses could be met. AT the
present time there are many taxes col
lected that are a great hindrarce TO
commerce, and if the customs receipts
could be used these might be done away
with.
Merchants doing business in Porto
Rico pay almost a prohibitive tax. No
one can engage in the banking or i'm
porting business without paying to the
government tax of about $500 pesos
per annum. Then there are consump-
ton taxes imposed upon every article
imported for consumption. These
should all be done away with, as they
hinder trade and prevent the trade from
America entering here.

Whew, but wouldn't this frost you?

Whew, but WOuldn this 1roSt you:
We are talking about the weather
again. 1t has been some time since
that which we have with us
ALWAYS has been deemed worthy of
special mention. The weather I'M
derstands the secret of drawing pub
lie attention about as we'll as any in
stitution with which we have to do.
When it finds that by reason of the
existence of other troubles, for which
humanity was born to suffer, it is not
coming in for its share of the discus
sions of the hour it simply produces
shock by doing something outland-
ish and everybody is talking about it
in a minute. The last time the
weather was monopolizing the public
mind it was hotter'n blazes. and peo-
pie were sleeping out of doors and 60
ing about in attire such as would pro-
duce n sensation in short order if
seen on the streets today. Yet, all
this comes in a very small percent
are of mans allotted lifetime.
Glance at the figures at the
head of this column and consider the
the shifting atmospheric conditions
through which we have passed since
our last. During Saturday afternoon
the mercury slid down the scale at u
rapid rate.
Coolest In TwOYCars.
Yesterday morning the temperature
was the lowest it has been in two
years. The weather bureau figures are
given around the surrounding coun-
try, and in the three cities the tenn
perature varied from 10 to II below.
| 1t was cold enough to suit the most
particular all day yesterday, but as
night came on it moderated and by
1:2O this morning the temperature
had risen to II above. Then it struck
the toboggan again, anG by sun-up
this morning it was down to u below
again. And it has been below zero all
day.
The coolest previous day in the past
two years was Jan. %, 1897, when it
was 10 below.
Data concerning the month of Feb
rulrv and covering n period of p
years has been compiled by Observer
Scherier. 1t shows that within the
time mentioned the normal tempera-
ture was %. the warmest month being
| that of 1882, with an average of 49,:
the coolest that of 1875. with an av-
erage of 10 above. The highest tenn
perature was registered on the 18th.
| 1882. when it was 90; the lowest was
on the 9th. 1888, q below. The av-
erage number of clear days was s.;
partly cloudy, 10; cloudy, 10. From
! this it will be seen that there have
been such things as colder weather in
February than we have had so far dur
ing the existing severe snap.

came to the reception without pay, and
added much to the entertainment of
the great crowd assembled, and to the
members of the national guard and the

were a part of the parade, this COM

extend grateful thanks 1t is impOssl-

All of them did their work cheerfully
and efficiently.
This committee desires to acknowI-

assistance of Governor Stanley and his
staff at all times, and of the other state
officers comprising the executive coun-
ell, who never hesitated to do all that
was in their power to make the recep-
ton a success.
What was true of the state govern

city council and chief of police; the rail
roads for their generous financial sup
port and reduction of the fare for uni

and the Santa Fe road in bringing the

thanks of everybody.
The committee wishes to give the
daily and weekly papers Of the city the
great credit due them for the large
amount of gratuitOus work done for
the reception. All the space the COM
mittee asked for was cheerfully grant
ed without charge. The daily and week

City, No, in the same spirit, did much

To General Hughes, chief marshal,

of the organization.
In view of the fact that all Of the
subscriptions have not yet been collect

longer to complete it's financial report.
The committee assures the club that
when all settlements shall have been
