FEATURE THE PRESIDENT LIKES.
One sUpuIating That Porto Ricnn
Revenues BE spent There.

One SipuIating That Porto Ricnn
Revenues BE spent There.
Washington, Feb. 27.-It was stated by
a member of the cabinet to-day that the
provision in the Porto Rican compromise
tariff bill which stipulated that all the
revenues collected on Porto Rican goods
and goods imported from the United
States and elsewhere shall be expended
in the island for the benefit of its people,
is the prominent feature which reconciles
the President TO its passage
With this provision in the bill, he said.
the net results would be, in a measure, the
same as free trade, which the President
recommended to Congress in his last mes
sage 1t was said that in making that
recommendation the President had taken
into account all of the factors that en-
tered into 1t, its great need or schools,
the provisions which must be made for
the suppression of epidemic diseases, the
necessity for the construction of roads ana
bridges, and the other necessary
public improvements which the situation
in the island in.peratively demands, He
also took into account, it Is said the fact
that business on the island is In deplor-
able situation, and that the people are
well-nigh helpless to meet the ordinary
demands OF government. In this SITUATION
it was the Presidents view that the Unit
ed States from its abundance should ex-
tend a helping hand, and he had in prepa-
ration at one time a message to Congress
asking for an appropriation of 100000 to
be expended on the public schools of the
island.
Another phase of the subject which has
occupied the attention of the administra-
ton is that involving the open door policy.
This government having secured from the
European Powers pledge that the United
States shall have equal trade rights with
them in the East could not, 1t was said,
with any degree of consistency, shut the
doors to their trace with the Philippines.
Although il Is admitted that a declara-
ton in favor of free trade with Porto
Rico might establish a precedent which
would be difficult TO overcome in dealing
with the Philippines, yet it was stated
that a declaration in the bill itself with
right of Congress to deal with these two
questions separately as in its judgment
il might deem best, would simplify che
problem and leave this government free
10 treat the Philippines as an entirely in
dependent proposition.
The one point in the determination OF
the Porto Rican problem which the Presi-
dent, il is believed will steadfastly in
sist upon, is that the nominal duties col
| lected by the Porto Ricans and those col
| lected in the ports of the United States
| on Porto Rican goods, shall be expended
| for the sole benefit of the islanders them
| selves.
