METEREOLOGIA DE HOY
SAN JUAN, 18 NovIEMBRE 1904
LA AUTONOMIA MUNICIPAL

Uno de los actos mas trascenden-
tales que resoIvera "a pr6xima legis-
1atura. ha de ser indudablemente el de
devolyer su autonomfa q los munici-
MOS que tuvieron la desgracia de caer
baio la preston de una ley absurda,
votada por una mayorfa republican,
en- anteriores perfodos legislativos'
Ese gran acto de justicia Sc espera
del patriotismo de los nueyos repre-
sentantes en- la CAmara.
Es justo que pueblos como Pehue-
las, Hatillo, Barranquitas, Juncos,
Ouebradillas, Corozal, Guayanilla,
Lola, Lug quillo, Gurabo. Arroyo, Sa-
Hnas y otros, restauren su municipa-
lidad propia.
Esos pueblos tienen perfecto dere-
cho 4 resolver directamente sus asun-
tos municipales.
NADIA ha sido mas periudicial pa
ra los pueblos anexados que IA ley por
cuya virtud Sc les arrebat6 su libertad
municipal. Esto, como era consiguien-
to. trajo al seno de esas localidades,
hondas parturbaciones do orden mo-
raj material, cuyas tristes conss-
cuencias va Sc han mostrado en- mas
de una OCCASION.
El principal m6yil de este acuerdo,
estriba en- las conyeniencias de un
partido polltico. Sc sabo que nues-
tros adversarios, jamas SO detuvie-
ran ante escr6pulos de mas 8 de
menos, para poner de su parte, tod as
las. probabilidades del trtunfO en- las
urnas.
El partido repuDlicano era es
una colectividad que carece de fuerzas
sufcientes, para contender con otros
partfdos ruas vigorosos, dentro de la
legalidad la iusticia. LIE era preci-
40 q sus hombres buscar medios de
cualq uier fndole que les aseguraran Ia
victoria, aunque esta costase la liber-
tad de su pueblo.
Urge pues, que todo clio Sc recti-
fiquo en- La C4mara.
Aparte del grave perjuieio moral
que entraha La ley que nos ocupa, han
sido inmensos tambi6n los periuicios
materiales que de ella Sc derivaron.
Esos pueBlos, vfctimas de IN odio
feroz, 90 vieron cohibidos para en-
causar sus asuntos interiores.
Y tan fatal, tao iI6gica fu6 la ley
de anexi6n de municipios, que hasta
ell mismo gobernante que la presto su
sanci6n, dijo en- su iitimo mensaje a
la Camara, tai vez en- un dtomo de tar
dfo arrspentimiento, que debfa dero-
garse esa ley, devolvi6ndose los pue-
bios anexados su autonomia munici-
pal.
De todos modos, es necesario, es
indispensable que Sc eche por terra
una tan inicua usurpaci6n.
In vida municipal aquf como
en- los Estados Unidos, es base de
grandeza y prosperidad.
Del acto que realiz6 la Cdmara
republicans solo pudo y debi6 espe-
rarse el fruto que conoce Ia isla: la
inquiotud, 81 desasociego en- los espf-
ritus, la satisfaction de vengauzas
absurdas el predominio de las pa.
stones mas mezquinas sobre los inte-
reses mas mobiles y mas. santos.
Volver contra esa absrraci6n in.
sera el primer impulse de
la Camara unioniata.
