Sobre ell bill HoIIander

ellos, voluminoso intrincado, y que
afecta de una manera vital la
prosperidad del pals, cuyos derechos
e intereses tienen ellos el sagrado
deber de vigilar.
La indebida festinaci6n en- apro-
bar esta ley, daria I'm color de verdad
a las declaraciones persistentes y re-
petidas de su autor, ell cual ha decla-
rado que el otjeto del bill, es forzar
d los propietarios nativos, demasiado
pobres para c1ltivar sps fncas, a ven
derlas abandonarlas q otros mas
afortunados, olvidando, que Ell dnico
ejercicio legitirno del aerecho, 8 del
poder de tributacion, esta estricta-
mente limitado levantar las rentas
absolutamente indispersables al man
tenimiento del gobierLo.
La censura aislaos, aunque es-
tuviese bien fundada, de alguna de
las numerosas sesiones del llamado
bill Hollander, seria injusta para su
autor, pues en- un trabajo de tai mag
nitud y difcultad es facil equivocar-
Sc y cometer errores inadvertidamen-
te. La critica para que resulte efec-
tiva, debe abarcar Ell conjunto del
proyecto y recoger de el su verda-
dera esencia.
I'll PROYECTO PRESENTADO SOBBE TRI-
BUTOs, MIENTRAs ABIERTAMENTE Sc DIRIJE
AL CAPITAL DE LA IsLA, REPREsENTADO
PoR sU PROPIEDAD REAL PERSONAL, Sc
DlRIJE TAMBIEN A La PRODUCTION BRUTA
LIQUIDA DE EsE MsMo CAPITAL.
Asi por ejempIo, el estanciero
de Puerto Rico, segun el bill que
estudiamos, pagara, no solo por Ell
valor de sus tierras, de sus bueyes,
caballos, carros, ETC., sino que paga-
ra tambi6n por el valor bruto de su
cosecha la cual, como sucede tratan-
dose de la cana de azdcar, le ha cos
tado ochenta dollars por acre para
Ilevarla un complete cultivo.
Tn sistema de tributacion en- IN
pals puramente agricola, ell cual, vir-
tualmente ataca al capital y la
production, con ell dos por clento, es
|ciertamente ruinoso & indefendibIe y
Icasi anticonstitucional. Mas aun; I'm
Isistema de tributaci6n que distingue
entire Ell capital agregado e lndivi-
dual, exceptuando el primero i'm
poniendo al segundo el tribute sobre
sus productos, iquido y bruto, es in
discutiblemente malo injusto.
Adn suponiendo, que la Camara
de delegados, obedeciendo a la OPT
MON publica, modifcase dicho bill,
no vendrfa ser ley, porque resulta-
ria muy premature y POGO estudiada,
tratandose de IN proyecto de tan
alta trascendencia para la isla; pues
este asunte, deberia dejarse a Ia Co
mission codifcadora, la cual debe dar
su informe antes del doce de Abril al
Congreso como dispone la session 40
del decreto de Gobierno Civil en-
Puerto-Rico, %para igualar y sim
pli6car la tributacion y todos los pro-
cedimientos para levantar rentass en-
esta isla.

Ell 6aU numero 5 del ConseJo
Executive Sc titula UN AcTo PARA
PRovEER DE RENTAs AL PUEBLO DE PUER-
To-RICo PARA oTRos PRoPosITos.
Tai como 10 presenta al Consejo
ell tesorero Hollander, resultaria un
impuesto sobre ell pueblo de Puerto
Rico que actualmente Sc halla en-
pobrecido por raz0n de la ultima
guerra, del reciente huracan y de
los des6rdenes publicos, mucho mas
alto y gravoso que los implantados
durante la dominaci6n espanola.
El Congreso americana, en- un
decreto sobre eatablec,Eliento del 60
bierno civil en- Puerto-Rico, aproba-
do en Abril pr6ximo pasado, reconoci6
de una manera elocueIte las condl-
clones deplorables en- cue Sc hallaba
Puerto-Rico, al no querer abolir to-
talmente la tarifa arancelaria que
existia con los Estados-Unidos, fun
dandose en- la pobreza del pals; y
dispuso que las cantidades que Sc
recaudasen en- las aduanas ingresa-
sen en- ell tesoro de Ia isla.
No Sc ha discutido por los Con-
sejeros que apoyan ell bill (cuyos sa-
larios estan bien garantizados) en- la
la prensa insular, que esta unanime-
mente opuesta 81, que los impues-
tos que prescribe ell bill no sean exec
sivos para las necesidades guberna-
mentales; pero, alegan que tan prom
to como ell presupuesto del ano We
nidero, cuya ToTALIDAD no ha sido
aun publicada, este va cubierto, Ell
exceso de tributacion que resulte au-
forbade por 6l, cesara inmediatamen-
te. Aun siendo este asi, esa misma
limitaci6n no destruye las objeccio-
nes, de que la imposition del tribute,
es justihcable solamente, por 10 que
sc refere d cubrir las necesidades del
gobierno; y resultaria una pl6tora en-
Ell Tesoro publico, que muy pronto e
inevitablemente vendria caer en- un
desperdicio extravaganza.
Ell concienzudo mensaje del go
bernador Allen, consigna que despues
de satisfechas todas las atenciones
Q6A &OUlGIuO, uuFduLc I'll pTcSCuCC duU
fiscal, resultara un balance precioso a
favor del tesoro de la isla que proba-
blemente excedera q un MILLION QUI-
N1ENToS oeHENTA TRES MIL CUATRo-
cIENTos NoyENTA sEIs DOLLARS, GIN
CUENTA sIETB CENTAyos, que exIs-
tian en- Noviembre Il. de 1900. De
aqui, que no haya una urgencia ex-
traordinaria en- tomar una medida,
la cual, copiada y modelada en- las
leyes de tributos de los Estados, y
en- las que Sc decretaron para Cuba,
viene a ser inapllcable a Puerto-Ri-
co, por sus condolences actuales, y
esa misma medida que reviste un
caracter tan serio importante, no
puede examinarse nj discutirse con
el cuidado que requiere.
No SO puede negar que en-. esa
session de la Camara de delegados,
sus miembros no han tenido tempo
sufciente para examinar, estudiar y
digerir, un plan de tributacion COM
pletamente nuevo y extraio para
