Washington, May 10.-In a vigor-
Gus message sent to congress today
President Taft expressed the opinion
that the United States has gone too
far in the extension of the powers OF
self government to the people of Por-
to Rico, and recommends certain
notifications in the so-called Foraker
act providing for the administration
OF the affairs of Porto Rico. He CEN
sures the house delegates of the is
land for refusing to pass the appro-
prlation bills for the coming fiscal
year and suggests the desirability of
taking from this lower body of the
Porto Rican assembly the power to
hamper the government. He recon-
mends that the Foraker act be
amended to provide appropriations in
the event The assembly adjourns
without making this provision.
Text of Message.
The message says: 1.-THE regular
session of the legislative assembly of
Porto Rico, adjourned on March IL
last without passing the usual appro-
priatlon bills. A special session was
convened by the governor on March
16 and it adjourned without making
the appropriations, leaving the island
without any provision for its sup
port after June 80 next. Ever since
the institution of the present assem-
bly, the house Of delegates has uni
formly held up the appropriations
until the last minute of the regular
session, and sought to use its power
to do so as a means Of compelling the
concurrence of the executive council
in legislation which the house de-
sired.
Appropriations Held Up.
The message recites how the exec
utlve council in the last assembly re-
fused to pass certain bills passed by
the house, whereupon the latter body
refused to pass the necessary appro-
priation bills. The president recon-
mends an amendment to the Foraker
act providing that whenever the leg
islative assembly adjourns without
making an appropriation necessary to
carry on the government that sums
amounting to the appropriations made
in the previous year for the respective
purposes shall be available from the
current revenues and shall be drawn
by warrant of the auditor on the
treasurer and countersigned by the
governor.
