they now have TO seek from the pro-
prietors.
The commercial. not the technical
value, is the one which should be
adopted in making appraisements
which the treasurer defends. And in
the assessment, all false and fictitious
values should be discarded even
though made by the three engineers,
if it is not the values which the pro-
perties have in tie market; the law
clearly states this precept: that it is
the market and not the technical value
which must be taken as basis.
In no manner can the commission of
projectors reply to the request made
by Mr.. Willoughby.
He either outght to defend the Of
fetal assessment, or reject 1t as the
stupid work of an insensate inebriate.
Either it is good or it is bad. either
it serves or does not serve; does Mr.
Willoughbv wish to convey the idea
that his clerk does better work when he
is intoxicate as has been known to be
the case with certain writers1 Such
valuations as have been made are of
certa inty the precursors of the forced
sale, the public auction of all the pro
perties of San Juan.
And the Treasurer has given re-
makable proposition. Because if the
appraisement of the Treasury depart
ment is not based on the commercial
value of property in the market which
is an indispensable requisite, is that
not disregardiug and disobeyipg the
law which establishes that guaranteed.
And if the appraisement, which is
an absurdity, had been made in accor-
dance and in obedience with the law.
why does the Treasurer not defend it?
Why does he not make clear to the
proprietors that their claims are use
less, their protests in vsin?. Why does
he not explain his reasons. define his
rights1 Why does he not point out
to the property owners that they have
treasury which is increasing each
year, which ascendS and ascends, wit
hout regard to any particular laws,
that swells and swells prodigiously
every year, and keeps on increasing
in fantastic, fanciful. stupendous and
marvellous proportions, without the
people realizing the good fortune and
blessings that have overtaken them.
and that the providen3ial Department
which they have has discovered the
strange and wonderful phenomena.
The treasures of Aladdin, of Mon
tecristo, the hen that laid the golden
eggs. cannot be compared with the
fantastic findings made by our trea-
surer.
1t is pity that in the enjoyment of
these pursuits, he has had to neglect
the cultivation of his profound sociolo-
gical disquisitions; that the pertentous
work of this eminent sociologist should
be killed in the bud, whose field is
not necessarily limited to that which
can be offered by an island, but which
can find wider range for its activi-
ties in his ow luxurious country whe-
re there is not an overabundance Of
eminent sociologists.

1t isvery probable, almost certain.
that within the f:u( a system in which
the treasurer displays his manner of
|disposing of the properties of others,
that functionary should not know, nei
ther the acolytes with which he is
surrounded, whst is signified and re-
presented by the visit of a commission
which constitutes class preludiced in
its interests. ?.
Possibly not even a touch of cour-
|tesy has entered into the proceedings
|of the redemptionists, neither in the
measures indicated by the uew met
hods for some time uncomprehended
by the improvised democrats, who are
unable to appreciate the Importance OF
an act, which they, in an exchange of
documents and circumstances. certain
ly never would have realized.
Education makes great difference.
And that the lack of comprehension
on the part Of the treasurer is due to
that is proved by the want of respect
accorded by the above mentioned Of
fetal to the gentlemen of the commis
sion who urged that new valuation
of property he made based on its com
mercial value, that is to say, the mar
ket price
Without doubt the treasurer ignores
that this valuation is the one that
should have been made by the depart
ment, without paying any attention to
the erroneous judgment, treacherous
ly formed, of persons incompetent in
the matter.
The proprietors have nothing TO do
with the appraisement which the
Treasurer advises, with the idea of
gaining time, and maintaining the
absurd valuation, to have valua tion
made by three native engineers and
a functionary who would confound
the Department with the municipal
deposito, where drunken disturbers
ought to be confined,
1t primarily caused the panic among
the owners of urban properties and
when they naturally thought that his
work would be discarded, thrown out,
declared worthless, and repudiated as
had been it's author, they encountered
the disaggreeable surprise of learning
that the department sustained the
absurd and incorrect appraisement.
In the time which is given to the
proprjetors. it is impossible to make
the valuation which the Treasurer
asks. Moreover that work entails
expense and time; work which the
department is not called upon to
indemnify.
And if we have to look to the pro
prietors, for its exact and proper value,
of what use are the assessors who are
paid by the people Of Porto Rico?
What purpose is served by the manit
enance of an archaic, fossil, barbarous
and primitive system? Finally, of
what use is the treasurer?
We ourselves are unable to explain
how it is that the Head of the ,rreasu
ry dares to foist upon the taxpayers
the work of his acolites, utilizing the
same sources of information which

WHERE LIES THE REAL FAULT

In a recent speech in Kansas
District Attorney Jerome, of New
York, said: 81 wish | could turn
the wrath which the people are
willing to pour out upon the trusts
upon the heads of the politicians
and bosses. These are the real
roots of the evils. They prevent
the free expression of the peoples
will. Think harshly of us people
in New York if you will, but don't
think for a moment that we would
ever be represented in the Senate
by such men as Thomas G. Platt
and Chauncey NJ. Depew if we
were allowed to exercise our
choice.n
But how can politicians and
bosses" prevent the free expression
of the peoples will if the people
are sufficiently interested or de-
termined to express their will?
The political boss can only exist
where the people tolerate him or
permit him to exist. The people,
it may be reasonably assumed, are
in the majority. Their will /;
supreme when they choose to ex
ercise it. The politician en- be
made to respond to the peoples
wilt when that will is made clear
and there is determination that
it shall prevail. Then is it not
the fault of the people when politi-
cal bosses rule?
1t is party slavery, as a rule,
that makes thepolitical boss strong
All he has to do is to get control
of the party machinery. Having
done this the rest is easy. The
"yellow dog" Democrat or Re,
publican makes the path of the
political boss smooth. But the
yellow dog voters are growing
| fewer and fewer. Party lines are
less distinct than they have beer
in half century. Voters are less
disposed to follow political bosses
or leaders blindlv. This should
make the political boss less of {
factor except where there is com
munity of interests, a combination
of forces seeking some specific
object.
| The freedom of the voter is I'm
limited. If he fails to exercis,
his power he has no right to com
plain of being unrepresented.

Henry K. Kapea, having pleaded
guilty to indictment for embezzlement,
was sentenced by Judge Robinson yes
terday to he imprisoned at hard labor
two years and six months He was in
dicted for having, while a clerk of the
converted to his own use a bond of
the Waialua Agricultural Co. for $500.
The crime was charged as having been
committed on December Ia, 1903, and
Kapea was indicted in February, 1905.
In the meantime he had absconded to
foreign parts, but being discovered UNI
der an assumed name in London was
extradited home
Prior to the passing of sentence act
ing Attorney General Peters gave an
extended history Of the case, from
which it appeared that Kapea had
hypothecated $4,000 worth of bonds, in
his custody as bond clerk, on which
he raised $3.50, besides which he stole
$500 of rents collected by him. The
money on the bonds was obtained from
Bishop & Co., Claus Spreckels & Co,
w. F. Allen and j. E. Fullerton. Ac-
cording to Kapea's confession to Mr..
Peters, he was induced to take the
bonds by one Fernandez, now an alb
sconder somewhere in the Orient.
Kapea, on being asked the usual
question, made a statement in court.
He said he was sorry and would never
repeat the offense. Fernandez gave
him $500 or $500 in Japan out Of $1,000
he had paid him, the amount being the
proceeds of a sale of bonds to the Hen
~ Waterhouse Trust Co. Kapea stat
ed that he was born on Kauai but Rad
lived in Honolulu since gradua ting
from Kamehameha. His father was
living. His mother died when he had
a bsconded.
Judge Robinson while recognizing the
duty of Furnishing the defendant in
manner lettering to others, acknowl-
edged the mitigating circumstances al
legged. The sentence of two and a half
years pronounced might have been ten
years under the statute.
