La EXPOSITION De LOS GANADEROS

Indiscutible importancia entra6l la
eXposicion-inserta en- nuestro n1mero
del lunes-que q nombre de los ganade-
ros de la isla Sc presentara la Asamblea
legislative.
Es la pecuaria uno de nuestros mas
Valiosos ramos de riqueza por aqueilo de
que, siendo la mas generalzada, sus be-
neficios afectan mayor n1mero de per-
sonas.
Bajo diferentes aspectos constituye
ella poderosfsimo auxiliar de la agricul-
tura, es artfculo de primera necesidad
en- nuestra alimentacion.
Asf, pues, merece bien que nuestra
Asamblea Legislative la dedique atencion
preferente, corrigiendo los errores en-
que SO ha incurrido, con dafio manifesto
de esa riqueza, en- las disposiciones que
sobre abasto de carnes rigen hoy.
A ESQ tiende Ia exposition de CANA
deros & que nos referimos, y 81 bien ese
documento omite un punto todas luces
importante propone una medlda con-
traproducente, de 10 cual vamos ocu-
parnos enseguids, trata el con envidiable
acierto Y gran acopio de razones Ia incon-
veniencia de Ia Ley que limita un so
por 100 la matanza de reses hembras pa
"a ell consume p6blico, cuyas razOnes
hay que agregar, entire otras, la de que,
la abundancia de hembras, permite ex-
pender Ia carne & mas bajo Eprecio, con
10 que, dicho Sc esta, serfa mayor ell con-
sumo del articulo, en- beneficio de los
desheredados de la fortuna, en- quienes,
de modo horripilante, viene cebandose Ia
anemia.
GanaderO cOnOcemos que Sc cOmpro-
meterfa q dar en- So localidad carne de
res hembra, 4 ocho centsvos libra, por
espacio de seis meses.
Y vamos al punto de la exposition
que juzgamos err6neo. Els ell que Sc re-
fiere al impuesto de arbitrios municipa-
les sobre ell ganado que Sc dedica la
matanZa.
Los exponentes proponen que Sc IL
mite dos dollars por cabeza, en- tOd0 ca
so, ell importe de esos arbitrios, cuando
la ley que actualmente rige prescribe
que solo un dollar por res y so centavos
por cerdo, puede imponerse hoy al ga
nado que Sc sacrifique para ell consume.
Y ESQ en- concepto de inspection reco-
nocimiento facultativo, pues por 10 de-
mas la Ley declara las carnes ibres de
todo tribute, as1 municipal como del Te-
soro p1blico.
Pueden, 81, los Ayuntamientos, con
un derecho legftimo, que mas bien debe-
mos robustecer que debilitar, por Guam
to es ell derecho prOpjetar5O, exigir Ia
suma que les plazca como alquiler de ma
taderos carnicerfas nlun5cip0Ies; perc
contra los abusos que en- ese orden pu-
dieran cometer dichas corporaciones, nos
queda ell recurso de establecer carnice.

Por 10 demas, 81 hay Ayuntamien-
tos que cobran impuestos de un dollar &

Tribunales como infractores de la Ley.
La que nos rige en- la materia favo-
rece mucho mas que Ia rectifcaci6n pro-
puesta por los ganaderos, los intereses

que nos ocupa, afecta mucho los CANA
La democracia. (Ponce, P.R.) 1890-1948, 1904-01-14

deros de moio profandfsimo a la ali
mentaci6n p6blica.
Nos referimos la hora senalada pa
ra la matanzl del ganado que Sc destlna
al consume p1blico.
Bien esta que en- las ciudades pue-
bios donde Sc consume una Q mas reses
disriamente, Sc yeri6que por las tardes
del dla anterior aquella operaci0n.
Pero es q todas luces perjudiclal que
este Sc exijs en- pueblos de poca impor-
tancia en- que ell consume fluct1a entire
tres y cinco arrobas de carne diariamen-
tie; porque ESQ equivale imposlbllltar
la matanza de ganado, va que no es po-
sible sacrificarlo de ese peso sin dano
evidente de Ia crianza y sin que ell costo
de la libra de carne exceda en- mucho de
10 que Ia generalidad de los consumido
res pueden pagar.
As1 vemos pOblaciones, como por
eJemplo Gurabo, cuyOs habltantes en- Ia
zona urbana exceden de ochocientos, en-
las cuales no Sc sacrifica ganado sino los
domingos, constituyendo as1 Ia allmenta-
cion un verdadero problema, durante seis
dias de cada semana.
No Sc necesita esfuerzo alguno para
comprender ell gran perjuicio que este
apareja tambien para los ganaderos, to-
da vez que Ia limitacion del consume
equivale & limitaci6n en- la venta de sus
productos.
Y la importancia del asunto es de
tai evidencia, desde ell punto de vista de
la alimentaci6n, que ST a1n ell problema
| estuviera encerrado entire la posibilidad
| de conner carne nociva Ia salud 8 la
| certidumbre de morir de hambre por no
conner ninguna, ell mas aferrado higie-
nista acOnsejarfa optar por ell primer
t6rmino de Ia disyuntiva.
Afortunadamente, las mismas dispo-
| siciones de sanidad nos demuestran que
Ia practica que combatimos sobre horaa
| de matanza del ganado, es meramente ca
prichosa, y puede por 10 tanto estable-
cerse de un modo mas en- armon1a con
los intereses que hoy perjudica en- las
poblaciones de poca importancia.
Prohiben aquellas disposiciones po-
ner carne la venta p1blica, antes de las
tres horas de muerta Ia res, 10 cual equi-
vale decir que transcurrido ese lapse
de tempo, la carne esta en- buenas con-
diciones para ell consume.
Debe, pues, la Asamblea Legislati.
va decretar que en- los pueblos cuyo con
sumo diario de carne no exceda de die2
| arrOO&S, Sc Verlnque las sells do ID ma
mana la matanza del gansdo y Sc abra q
las nueve la venta de carnes, de cuys
manera 6sta podra ser expendida en-
buenas condiciones en- las primeras ho-
ras del dia siguiente.
Si todavfa por ESQ hubiese dificultad
porque sc estime indispensable retirar
las carnes de Ia venta las veinticuatro
horas de muerta la res, puede senalarse
las siete las ocho de la maflsna para Ia
matanza.
Lo esencial es que ell expendio de
una cabeza de ganado abarque dos dias,
6 sea buena parte de cada uno de ellos,
4 fin de proporcionar q los pueblos de
| que tratamos ell consume de tan indis-
pensable art1culo; dando la vez facili-
dades para vender su ganado q los pro-
pietarios de esas iurisdicciones.

RUSSIANS LOSE
TWO VESSELS
LIGHTHOUSE TO REPLACE
BLACKBIRD RANCE
Firms Point Lights Are Said
to Be Working Very Un-
satisfactory

Smyrna, Aug. 25.--A permanently es-
tablished lighthouse may substitute the
range lights at the mouth of Blackbird
Creek i'm the very near future. There is
a rumor ahOat that the New Firms
Point" Range Lights erected last VIM
ter, one at Taylor's Bridge and the
other at the mouth Of Blackbird creek
are soon to be abandoned. These lights
which created much curious interest
with the people of houorghfaer cmfw
with the people of Thoroughfare Neck
during their course of construction.
were designated to mark the course of
the new channel at that point. The
lamps consisting of lamps by night
and wooden "daymarks" by day, have
not proven satisfactory owing to the
distance from the water. especially in
stormy and foggy weather In view
of this fact. the keepers quarters and
other improvements planned by the
Lighthouse Department have never
been completed.
There is a rumor that permanent
lighthouse is to be built in the Della
ware Bay near the mouth of Blackbird
creek. Just what style of lighthouse
will be erected cannot be learned, but il
is supposed that il will be on the order
of the Bombay Hook Lighthouse. with
dwelling attached with lights so ar
ranged as to answer the purpose of the
two range lights now i'm use, in which
event one man could care for il more
convenient and would certainly prove
more satisfactory in case of storm oi

Special to The Evening Journal.
Dover, Aug. 25.-The demand for
The Evening journal throughout
Sussex county and lower Kent
county last night and tne evening
previous was phenomenal.
Outstretched arms awaited the
evening passenger trains down the
D., M. g. v. Railroad and at George
town two lawyers actually quar-
relied over the possession Of one
paper, the only one left in the
hands Of a non-plussed newsboy.
Another lawyer threatened never to
take another newspaper from the
newsboys who regularly served HIM
II he did not procure for sim an
Evening Journal, for which he was
a regular subscriber.
Many Of the Sussex towns have
not yet aroused themselves to the
necessity of an evening paper.
The people in these towns waited
the arrival Of evening trains and
then clustered around passengers
as they stepped to the station with
evening papers in their hands, while
as many as twenty walked up the
street practically surrounding one
man who carried and was readino
an Evening Journal, purchased on
the train.
