PORTO RICO BILLS
EXPLAINED HERE
Walter McKoWn Jones Says
i Autonomy Will Bind ?
| Country to U. S.

A" first-hand explanation of the
congressional bills for autonomous
government of Porto Rico and the
effects of such a government on the
people was given today in a state
ment to The Star by Walter McKown
Jones. a member of the legislature
of the island.
Autonomous government, accord
Ing to Mr.. Jones. will bind Porto Rico
more closely to the United States
rather than sever the connections
now in force. 1t will provide for the
election of a governor and the ex-
ecutive arms of the government, in
lieu of the presidential appointment
now. all laws and legislation passed
by the Porto Rican legislature will
have to be passed upon by the United
States Congress before becoming ef-
fective.
Explains Present Government
The form of government at
Pgssent 1ows: The ne said, lis ha,, as fol
pointive powers for state offices, has
the power of veto of legislation and
is the controller of the executive
arm Of the government The judicial
ofhces are appointive by the govern
ment. The legislature and local Off
ciafs are elective. Porto Rico has
more than 100000 citizens, and the
enactment Of the bills now presented
in the House and Senate by Repre-
sentative Campbell and Senator King,
respectively. would place the citizens
in the status of an unincorporated
state. without representation, how
ever, in the United States Congress
with the exception of a resident COM
missioner who may be accorded the
privilege of the floor on Porto Rican
questions hnf who has
No Fear OF Loss.
Il was very much surprised at state
ments from a WaShingtonian regard
ing the Porto Rican situation. ap-
pearing in The Star of February 2S.
1t appears that fear exists that
the bills would cause the United
States to lose it's hold on Porto Rico.
This~is not so. 1t would make the
citizens realize even more keenly
that they are real residents of United
States territory and under the pro-
lection of the United States.
The Porto Rican experiment in
colonization by this nation is being
watched most carefully by all South
and Central America. The steps
which may be taken one way or an
other will be carefully scrutinized
by me neighboring countries of the
continent with a view of the sig
nifcance and effect of such moves.
90 Per Cent White.
when it is realized that 60 per
cent of the residents of Porto Rico
are white, and that their civilization
is Of longer standing, practically.
than that of the mainland of the
United States, it can be easily seen
that autonomous government would
not be in the hands of persons who
could be compared in any way to the
residents of the PHILIPPINE Islands.
where there are forty dialects and
tongues to the uniform language Of
Porto Rico and of various extrac-
tions in comparative to the relatively
homogeneous residents of the island
of Porto Rico.
1.-The present occupant of the Office
of governor of the island is furnish
ing the greatest impetus to the move
ment for an autonomous government.
He typifies the harm which the ap-
pointive system may work"

TAXPAYING.

The county treasurer has asked US
to call attention to the fact that on
June 1 the tax books will close, and
as there are approximately 5000
people in the county who have not
paid their taxes he is expecting a
busy time at his office during the
closing days of the month, and there
fore he wishes all who possibly can
to pay their taxes at once. He also
states that of the 5000 who have not
paid their taxes at least half Of them
owe only poll tax, and it seems that
they could pay the dollar at any time.
We bespeak for the treasurer the
cooperation of all the citizens in max
ing the work as light as possible at
the last Of the month by coming for
ward with their tax money now.

KNOWLEDGE is POWER.

In a great factory one Of the huge
power machines suddenly alked. In
spite Of the exhortation, language, oil
and general tinkering, it refused to
even bulge. Production showed down
and the management tore its hair.
At last an expert was called in. He
carefully examined the machine for a
few minutes, then called for a ham,
mer. Briskly tapping here and there
tor about 10 minutes, he announced
that the machine was ready to move.
And it did.
Two days later the management re-
ceived a bill for s250-the experts
fee. -
The account was righteous man
who objected to overcharge. He de-
nanded a detailed statement Of the
account.
He received this:
