The bill introduced into the L. 5.
Senate two weeks ago by Senator
Foraker Of Ohio, provides for terri-
toral form Of government of the
island of Porto Rico For leg
islatiye and judicial purposes the is
land is to be divided into five dis
tricts. Each Of these districts elects
seven representative to the House of
Delegates or lower Honse Of the insu-
lar Legislature. The upper House or
Executive Council is composed of the
governor, seven members of his cabi-
net the Supreme Court and five ma
tiyes. These officers are appointed
by the president with the consent OF
the Senate. Porto Rico will have the
same representation in the L. S. House
of Representatives that other territor-
les have. Free trade is established
between the territory and the states;
articles imported into Porto Rico have
10 pay the same duty they would at
United States ports. The proceeds of
tariff duties 90 to the island govern
ment;t the proceeds from internal reve-
nues,to the U. S. federal government.
The bill is important asst is thought to
represent in general way the ideas
OF the nation al administration for the
best method OF governing our new is
land territories.
