PORTO R!CANS PROTEST.
Want Extra Session OF Legislature TO Repeal
an Unjust Law.
(By Associated Press. !

WASHINGTON. March 11.-The pres-
dent this morning granted a special audi
ence to members of the Porto Rican COM
mittee appointed at mass meeting of
the citizens Of the island, to protest
against the law enacted by the Legsla-
ture known as the Holiander bill. This
measure provides for the raising OF rev
eEue by property and excise taxes.
It is contended that there exists in
Porto Rico three taxes levied and collect
ed for the same purpose. each of which is
sufficient to cover the budget.
It is asserted that the measure is both
an income and property tax law.
The commissioners ask the President
that Governor Allen be directed to call a
special session Of the Legislature to
amend the law.
The President gave the commission nearly
an hour and listened with interest to their
statements. He said lie did not feel like
exercising his authority in calling an
extra session of the houses off Porto Rico,
but would recommend to the Governor the
utmost leniency in exercising the pro-
visions of the tax laws.
