CUBAN AFFAIRS.
Taxation of Properties Urged Rather
Than Each Bag Of sugar-Features
Of the Electoral Commission.

Taxation of Properties Urged Rather
Than Each Bag Of sugar-Features
of the Electoral Commission.
HAVANA, March Ex-Governor GEN
eral Wood has recently had interviews
with persons of influence who have
strenuously urged the taxation Of valu-
able properties rather than each bag of
sugar, as 1t is manufactured. Those
who hold this view contend that under
the present system impedIments are
thrown in the way of production. They
point out that many valuable estates
have been lying idle and unproductIve
for years, some even having complete
sugar plants. The owners. who are
rich men, are living in Paris. Madrid
and other European cities, quite un-
taxed for their property in Cuba.
General Wood feels that II these prop
critics are taxed, their owners viii BE-
forced either to sell them or to make
them productive.
Senior Plerra, a member of the sub
committee, who drew up the majority
report of the electoral commission, dis
cusslng the matter to-day said
"In our report we have endeavored to
arrange for the elections in such way
as to secure fair play for all concerned.
The plan proposed by the majority re-
port, drawn up by Senior Tamayo and
General Rivera, which suggests that
the board of registry be elected by
suffrage, has the drawback Of leaving
too much power in the hands Of the
civil governors, Under the minority
scheme the civil governors would nom
mate election officers in the various
provincial districts; these officers. being
charged with the conduct of the cleo
tions, would choose the electoral boards
Of three. In this way the civil gov
ernors would have too much individual
influence in conducting the elections,
as all the officers controlling them
would be their nominees"
With regard to the representation of
mlnorities, Senior PIerra said: "Al-
though no political parties have been
formed. there are two well-marked po-
lItlcal tendencies, the Radical and the
Conservative. Moreover, local interests
will play q prominent part in the cleo
tions. For inatance, in Havana the
principal issue lies between the work.
Ingmen and the land owners. The
former are in a majority. Nevertheless,
the committee has arranged 80 that tha
landholdars will not be left unrepre-
sentnd. The votes are to be taken ac-
cording to the ten existing sections into
which Hnynnn is now divided.
