I'VE have lived now for six months
under the IS per cent preferential tar

bad? Has it helped or injured US? The
legislature will have these questions to
decide.
I'VE now have the question to deal
with aside and apart from politics. Its
use as a campaign club is past and
gone. The burden of deciding this very
important question is solely upon the
legislature. AS it DEGREES. so shall it
be. If it desires to abolish the tariff
and operate the island upon a free trade
basis, it can be so ordered.
IF the people of Porto Rico through
the legislature desires to continue the
tariff it can be done A precedent has
been established which will permit this
class of taxation. It has been legally
decreed that such action is constitu-
tional.
IF the tariff is abolished it is at once
evident that a more burdensone and
higher rate of internal taxation must
be imposed Where and upon what shah
this be levied is indeed a perplexing
question.
aside from all the difficulties that

itself and see what it has DONE In
the last six months the 10 per cent
tariff has afforded the island as much
If not more revenue than the 100 per
cent tariff The theory that the way
to increase revenue is by lowering the
taxes is proven to be true for Porto
Rico. This revenue will be constantly
increasing as our trade increases as 1t

sumer for it has lowered the taxes he

This results in an increase of importa-

stantly providing him a means to carry
his goods to the great American mar
ket, which is always so hungry for the

Again, unless we have a traffic both

"A tariff helps US as borrowers; it will

out a permanent revenue like the tariff

vanced in favor of a tariff tax as
against other means Of raising revenue,
that it is easily collected, is especially
forcible in Porto Rico. We would adj

Liquor Question Plaques the
Civil Authorities at Manila.

Manila, Dee. 5.-The hall occupied by
the United States commission was
crowded today, the occasion being the
public discussion of the Manila liquor
license bilL The section providing for
banishing saloons from the Escolta and
downtown plazas was strongly criu-
cised. Judge Taft explained that the
United States court had settled the
right of the police and the power 70
limit the sale of liquors. and yet the
places where they we're sold We're I'M
limited. He declared that the condition
of the Eseolta. owing to the presence
of saloons, was disgraceful. The judge
admitted that it was a hardship to
some, but he denied that injustice was
being done. The licenses expire IN Janu-
AIRY and the section Of the bill requiring
removals will take effect in April.
The bill provides for a license Of 600
pesos serni-annually, for a regular sa-
loon. 500 for a theater, and 500 for
