Experiments in Government by US.
On Island Republics Are Successful

WASHlNGTON-O Of the mos,
interesting experiments in government
to be found anywhere in the world to
day :s being conducted conducted ~ tic United
States. II is being tried out on the
island OF Haiti, upon which are located
the black republic OF Haiti and the
mulatto republic Of Santa Domingo.
The nature OF the experiment and the
causes which led up to this unique gov
ernment venture are set forth in a
bulletin issued by the National Geo
graphic society.
After century OF effort to main
tam itself as a separate, independent,
sovereign nation, Santo Domingo in
1905 found itself about to fall a victim
TO It's own excesses" says the bulle-
tin Revolution had followed revolu.
tion almost with clocklike regular
lty. There were asSaSsinations. there
were bctrayals, there were conspiracieS.
there were wars within and wars with
out-war with Haiti over boundary
questions and civil war over the con
troll OF the government Debts were
piled up without thought OF the day OF
payment or even provisions for meeting
the interest charges
Day of Reckoning Came.
so long and so steady was the
orgy OF revolution, speculation. debt
making and intereSt-dodging tina, the
nations credit grew worse than that
of its individual citizens. Finally. the
day OF reckoning came. Foreign war
ships approached the ports whose har-
bors had given refuge to the great dis
covcrer Columbus and whose capital
city still contains what undoubtedly are
his ashes, and demanded that the
claims OF their subjects be satisfied
claims for money advanced, claims for
interest accumulated, claims Tor prop
erty wantonly destroyed and they de
manded il at the point OF big naval
guns.
I'm a predicament from which they
were powerleSs to extricate themselves,
the Domlnicans were ready enough to
negotiate a treaty turning over the con.
troll OF the countrys customs TO the
United States II, in return therefor.
the United States would protect them
from angry European creditors and re
luvenatc their treasury.
Tariff Cut Down.
And so II was that IN 1905 the
United States undertook to serve as
treasurer of Santo Domingo and to
vouch for her debts. The tariff was
quickly revised the American authori.
ties urging that duties be laid on lux
uries rather thai on necessities on the
things Of the rich rather than on those
OF the poor The tariff as a whole was
cut down, the general reduction being
50 percent on export taxes and II per
cent on import duties
And vet in spite OF this great re.
duc,ion, in spite of payments OF ST.
10000 year on the debt there wa~
still left greater net income for the
use OF the government than il had
ever had before.
Forced to Intervene, -
For long time II was thought that
deprived OF the opportunity of obtain
ing cuStoms-house revenues through the
seizure OF ports, revolutions could not
support themselves But after six or
seven years Of peace trouble broke ou,
again, and during 1914 and 1915 il
became so serious that the United
States was forced to intervene in be
half OF peace and to demand, with ma.
