PORTO RlcO's FINANCES.
Splendid Showing and Equal to Any Stale or
Territory

New York. July l5.-Jacob IT UoI-
lander. treasurer of the island of Porto
Rico. arrived here. today. from San
Juan. He is on his way home on leave
oil absence. OF his work on the island
he said. today: THE present financial
condition of Porto Rico compares
laNorably, l think, with that of any
state or territory in the Union. The
island Is free from all funded or float
ing indebtedness. the burden of taxa
ton upon its people is less than upon
the residents of any other part of the
United States. and the insular treas
ury begins new fiscal year with
sources of revenue that should supply
all necessary expenses
Any deficiency in current receipts
VIII be supplied from the reserve funds
OF the insular treasury, of which one
Item alone. customs collections on
Porto Rican exports into the United
states since May |, 1900. aggregates
S6o0oe0 no part of which the insular
government has found il necessary to
draw upon TO the present time.
The actual operation of the new
revenue system of the island has been
as satisfactory as its results. In the
beginning unfamiliarity with the law
andthe spirit in which it was to be ad-
ministered excited some alarm that
political malcontents exploited to the
utmost. But as feature after feature
of the system has been put into opera
ton. the intelligent sentiment of the
island has accepted it cordially and
at the present time the only criticism
proceeds from those who are opposed
not to any but to all taxation or are
immovably attached to the old Span
ish system of heavy Indirect taxes
upon necessary consumption and in
adequate taxation or entire escape of
property and capital.
$50 general has been the popular ac-
ceptance, Of the extreme taxes and so
efficient their enforcement that five
months of operation and the collection
of nearly sc50.OO0 therefrom have neces-
Stated barely a single prosecution for
violation of the law. The history of
the property tax is much the same.
Property. aggreSating 100000. 900 was
assessed and some IS .000. 200 tax sche6-
uies were returned. yet the executive
council sitting as a board of appeal
received complaints from less than 80
tax payers.
'The administration of the revenue
system of the island has been charac-
terized by the greatest leniency and
mildness since civil government was
established on May l. 1900. There has
been no single sale of property for de
linquent insular taxes except where
careful Investigations had made it
clear that the delinquency was delib-
crate.
Mr.. Hollander who holds the chair
of the professor of finance at Johns
Hopkins University. was sent to Porto
Rico by the President to formulate Il
revised revenue system for the island.
