law whose passage is asked for and
demanded by the unanimous opinion
| of the Island.
The House of Delegates should al
so pass a tax law for the benefit of
the tax payers and the owners of
property. one in line whith that in
troduced in the Executive Council
by Mr.. Diaz Navarro, which pro-
tects property.
Mr.. Willoughby, who displays the
same ignorance in this matter as In
many others, is reso1utely and bit
terly opposed to the project of Mr..
Diaz Navarro; but it is possible and
expected that good law such as
Ithis one nquestionably is, com ing
from the House Of Delegates, will
not meet with opposition AZ the
hands of the young sociologist nor
his confreres seeing that good Laavs
are approved By the Ex<tHftVe C0ancsI
The project of Mr. Diaz Navarro
|certa inly cannot be characterized as
i bad one; it would put a stop to the
arbitrary acts of inebriated assess
ors and protect Porto Rican property
owners from their ridiculous capri
ces; it would end the immoral game
invented by DR.. Hollsnder Of jocke-
wing with the wealth of the country
or to put it differently, causing it to
change hands.
Such law would -csta b1ish scien-
tifc rules for the valuation Of proper
ty and legal precepts for determi-
ming the quota of taxes to be paid;
and a law which offers all these
guarantees could not be termed
bad, therefore, it follows that if the
lower House passes, it, the Executi-
We Council will give the measure
its approval Thus proving that
j ahbrO9<s all th< COED haars etc,
The Criminal Code and the Code
of Civil Procedurewhich.a as has been
truly said by Mr.. de Diego, were
approved in the House Of Delegates
on the mere reading of the titles,
ought to be substituted by the former
ones which, as has been clearly
demonstrated are far superior TO
the ones now in force.
Why has no bill been introduced
looking to this exchange, or for the
purpose of correcting the mOnstrO-
sites Of the present cOdes1
This would be an excellent mea-
sure, endeaVorlng to correct great
injustice, an inexcusable stupidity
committed by the. House Of Delega
tes.
And would not such a law merit
the appreciation Of the Executive
Council, if it is true that this omni-
potent and inefable body is always
disposed to act favorably on the gO0a
Ia7os passed by the lower House?
And finally, it would be well to
pass law prohibiting the functiona-
ries from engaging in private enter
prises. which is injurious to the Sta
te as we'll as for the public and pri
vate interests Of the citizens.
If it is fact that the Executive
Council is always disposed to appro-
We the good laws passed by the Hou-
Sc of Delegates, it ought not to with
hold its sanction TO those which pro-
hibit the functiOnarieS from abusing
the privileges of their positions and
the pcrogatives of government, in
order TO establish ruinouS industries
and thus prepare themselves for fut-
ure comfort and ease in the event
ofcircum stances bringing about their
retirement, which actions constitute
scandal and an abuse.
