gentlemen of the Council fully under
stand this fact, but it is apparent that
some of your constituents do not yet
comprehend it and | will ask you to
promptly correct all false impressions
on the subject.
z. 1t having come to my attention,
soon after my inauguration, that dis
satisfaction exists with the present in
come law and that certain provisions in
the United States Income Tax Law were
desired, | requested Congress to extend
to these Islands the National Income
Tax Laws, so that the people here might
be in the same status as other Americans
elsewhere. 1t was a matter of surprise
to me to find that residents .of these Is
lands, owing allegiance to foreign coun-
tries, have been and are still eligible to
hold public office. | have brought this
matter to the attention of Congress also
as one wholly and entirely atS variance
with American principles.
g.. From time to time | shall have
messages for the Colonial Council which
| shall either bring or send to you as
may ne most expedient.

, 1921-06-18

On the occasion of his address before
the Colonial Council of st. CrOix, Gov
ernor Kittelle touched upon the desira.
bility of an improved water supply for
the people of this island. This was en-
couraging, but far more encouraging was
the statement by the Governor in private
after he had made a careful ~investi-
cation of prevailing conditions. Speak
ing on this subject the Governor stated:
provision for an adequate supply of
fresh water for St. CroiX must be made
in the very near future and a project
with this end in view will have my
hearty cooperation"
The Governor further emphasized his
conviction by saying, in effect, that
such a great public necessity as a good
Wlter supply must have consideration
even before seemingly very desirable
public Improvements of a less urgent ma
ture now under discussion, and in his
address before the Colonial Council at
st. Thomas he went beyond mere recon-
mendation for an adequate water supply
and u~neQuivOcally demanded that it be
provided. Thus he has made his posi-
tiOn on the water question as positive
as it is popular.
Until such time as a permanent sup
ply Of water can be obtained, an effort
will De made to relieve temporarily, the
situation by making available the wa
ter now in the large cisterns on Pro-
testant Quay (about $50, 900 gallons), by
running a pipe line from the QUAY 10
the Wharf, mean the Customs House.
If this construction is accomplished, the
water can be sold at not more than
one half cent a gallon, or two and one
half cent for as much as a gasoline tin
will hold.

3. You will remember that in their
report to Congress, the Congressional
Commission which visited these Islands
over a year ago, characterized the sys
tenn of taxation in vogue as unjust,
inefficient and archaic. The system is
still in force, but further delay in chang
ing it should not be INDUCED in, for it is
neither fair nor agreeable to live under
laws that are deserving of such sweep
ing arrangement before the bar of unpre-
iudiced judgment. | am aware that
owing to the wording of the Act of Con
gress approved March 3, 1917, some peo-
ole hold to the belief thai the local tax
laws cannot be changed without an act
of Congress. | hold differently, for
since these present local tax laws are in
no wise compatible" with American
sovereignty or American principles, they
are thereby exempt from the provision
limiting changes in the law, and a Com
mission of Congress has condemned them
in its report. which report was adopted
and stands approved. Furthermore, it
comes directly to my knowledge from
association with the distinguished mem
bers of Congress who are greatly inter
ested in these Islands, that it is their
desire and expectation that the people
of the Islands will themselves remedy
their own tax laws, and that it is the
hope in Washington, that we shall
perform this necessary duty right
here and in the near future; and not
by our continued i%naction force the
Congress to make local tax laws
for US. American principles urge upon
US the duty of arranging for our
W local taxes, and placing them
on an equitable, just and right basis
and one that will meet the legitimate
expenses of government.
4. | have not as vet had the oppor-
tunity of studying the question of the
water supply in st. Croix and SO shall
have to defer until a later meeting any
observations that | may have to make on
this subject; but | am under the i'm
preston that this is a problem that must
soon be faced and solved.
5. From the testimony before and
the proceedings of the Congressional
Commission which | read very carefully
before coming to the Islands and from
information which has come to me since,
| learn that the great question of capt.
tai and labor fnds~a strong echo in this
Island. Because of the Importance Of
this subject in tie community, | be-
lieve that the people are entitled to know
just how the Governor stands in rela-
ton to the whole matter. | shall en-
deavor to make my position so clear

tortion and profiteering on the one hand
or to reduce labor to anything approach
ing penury on the other hand. At the
same time if returns fall much below a
just figure, upkeep will suffer, materi-
al will deteriorate, capital will become
discouraged and the whole community
will suffer in some degree. 1t is the
duty OF capital to pay labor a fair living
wage, one that not only brings to the
worker the necessities Of life but also
some OF the happiness and ethical uplift
that comes from a healthy surplus, eth
er placed in saving or intelligently ex-
pended toward better health and edu-
cation. | believe in labor, and, as Gov
ernor, l am the friend of labor. A Great
Master has told US that the laborer is
worthy Of his hire, and the same Wise
One has taught US that he who serves
is entitled to a high place in the esti-
nation of all right thinkers, but when
| have said that labor should have a fit
ting reward, [ have not said all that |
think. A good wage demands an honest
return in labor, not twenty-five percent
efficiency, where it takes four men to
do the work of one real man, but one
hundred percent, efficiency We all
know, however, that it is given to but
few men in all the world to deliver one
hundred percent, of efficiency and we
should be merciful in that knowledge,
but the man who, of his own free will
and accord, falls below seventy per cent,
in his efficiency is generally lacking in
some of the qualities of good citizenship,
while the man who works only two or
three days in the week, where he
could work six days, and then lies off
as long as his money lasts is a posi-
tive menace to the community in which
he lives. l draw no fine distinctions
iE labor. The man who works diligent-
ly at a mental occupation is as much a
Iaborer as he who till8 the soil or plies a
trade. All are equally honorable. None
shall be sighted. No legitimate activity
of mankind can be Inhibited without the
loss being felt in some measure by the
whole community. The foot or hand
cannot be amputated or disabled without
the brain becomes aware Of the defect,
and if the brain is removed or even in
iured, the feet and hands are done for.
The solution Of the problem of capital
and labo is UNSELFISH COOPERA-
TON. Thele is no other solution.
There can be none other.
