as follows:
''All the questions arising from the
Porto Rican legislation are soon TO be

fected BY that legislation. was creditabie
to the generosity. the patriotism and the
industrial spirit of the American people
We found Porto Rico as poor as poverty
could make her. She had no money, no
credit. no system of taxation of any
kind. She wanted civil government and
q revenue to support it. We gave her q

was ever given to any territory prior 10

it by her people was concerned, and We

we have ever yet dealt with any terri

THE Porto Rican Legislature is now in
session. but neither that body or any
member of ii or anybody else has taken
any step to repeal or alter the tax sys-
TEN imposed by Congress. On the CON

high satisfaction with what Congress has
done and the request Will he almost
unanimously made that the propositions
enacted may he continued, If not indeh-
niteIy at least until more satisfactory
system Of proper taxation may be sub

I'm addition it should be stated that
Congress also in the same generous spirit
exempted Porto Rico from all internal
revenue aXation-anothcr favor never be

DUE TO THE DRAINAGE CANAL.
Chicago Men Who Want Malaria Will
Have to PatrOnize Summer
Resorts.

1.-THE drainage canal is driving me to
it," said the sallow man.
He was talking to the fatman. They
were discussing summer things. The
signs of spring had suggested the con-
versation. The air was balmy and soft
as it blew in through the open Office
window, and the sparrows were carry
ing straw up the gables to build their
nests, says the Inter Ocean.
"What has the drainage canal to do
with your summer outing?" asked the
fat man. 'You are not a member of
the drainage commission
mo, I never had anything to do with
the canal except to pay taxes, and I
never saw it,
"Well, what's the jol1e?" and the fat
man got his face poised for smiling.
ooh, it amt no joke. This deuced
canal will drive me to the expense of
trip to some summer resort, subject
ing me to loss of time as well as the
loss of money. I used to stay at home
of summers and get my malaria from
the river. Now the riveris purified and
I'll just have to go off to some nine
dollars-a-day summer resort to get:it."
