PROCEEDING S
OF THE
COLONIALCOUNCI
FO ST. CROIX.
Continued from yesterdays Avj8.)

End Appointed Member (NoW asked
permission to make a few remarks out
side the Order of Day. The Chairman
granted the request and the Member re-
marked: Mr.. Chairman. Concerning the
discussion this afternoon on this tax law,
on the face Of it, there seems to rest
some dissatisfaction. The indication, so
far as we have gone, from all that would
appear in the record, would be, that the
Council and the Government represent
tative are at a dead lock. The matter
has been be- ore the Council since De
cember %, 1921, SO far as the record
shows. and that it was before the Coun-
ell (may he less oficiaO before that date
in 1921; and that from then down to the
present meeting it has been continuously
before the Council and no action has
been taken upon it.
If this Council dies with this meeting,
and ii this draft of ordinance dies with
this Council. and ii this draft of ordin-
ance is not reintr0Guced, for all that has
transpired here today, it would appear
that this Council was adverse to the
passage Of this bill.
Now. that is not the fact. Members
on the floor have stated that II 1t comes
to a vote they would vote for the ordin-
ance. can state that | am of the same
state of mind, if it comes to a vote | will
vote for it.
Now. the statement is made by the Gov
eminent Secretary that it would become
fine duty of the Government to report to
the mandating power which IS the Con-
ornss Of the United States, and if this
hin dies with this Council, why, gentle
flpmen. the record would put US in a
fallacious light. | have a personal be-
lief that if this matter is continued upon
the calendar of the Council and is even
tnalIv brought to vote, it will be passed,
n1ssibIv with amendments not satistac-
t1rv TO Government, but in some form
in the best Judgment Of this Council. 1t
might be that the members Of this Coun-
oil NAV see fit to pass the ordinance,
eliminating the tax on personal property
but still they will have passed an ordln-
ance taxing almost all properties in st:
Croix on a principle which has worked
we'll in the States. Then it would be for
the Governor to decide whether he de-
sirps to veto the draft as passed and re-
mort to the President; and if it's passed
according to the best judgment OF the
Council, when the record goes up II Con
Dress sees fit to take action they would
then have record of what we as members
of this Council saw fit to do.
That | have not spoken on this matter
, 1923-05-15

tcussion Generally | approve the meas
ure, as an American ! approve IT, anu l
know it has been successful in the States:
Under first discussion, or the merits OF
II there was nothing TO make a speech
about 80 [ reserved what | bad to- say
until it came up for dicussion paragraph
by paragraph. ! can state that some
further changes are necessary under sec
Ond discussion.
| think gentlemen by all means you
should make I'D your minds that this IS
not a dead lock although the record lnQ1.
Gates that, and we should be open MINDED
to the question of passing this measure;
and / have no doubt if it is carried on
the calendar it will in some form Dc
passed.
In regard to the remarks that the mat
ter will be reported to Congress. nope
our Governor will not be too nasty ~
reporting until this Council has taken
final action.
Government Secretary (GQfncy) re-
marked: Mr.. Chairman. In view Of the
remarks of the Honorable End Appointed
Member and tn show that Govern nent
is DESTROYS Of doing anything IN It's power
to further some action IN the matter Il Is
requested that End Discussion come on
today.
The Chairman remarked: 1t requires
a t~hree-uuarter vote Of the Council tor
End Discussion to come up today.
End Member for Christiansted Town
CGneq1ta: Mr.. Chairman. 1t is now quart
err past five O'Clock, and the ordinance
consists of eighty or more paragraphs
Do you think we can go through TO-
right?
End Appointed Member (NoID in reply
j to the last speaker said, 1t IS not neces-
sary to close End Discussion today
4th Appointed Member (BtackwooG):

not force the matter through today. Ills

ed: MIR. Chairman. | don't ike TO
take issue with the Honorable 4th APP
pointed Member but | cannot see any
thing to prevent End discussion coming
up today and closed at some other time
do not think the Government Secretary
expects us % close End Discussion today.
Government Secretary (GGtneyI re-
marked: Mr.. Chairman. Government
is willing to have the ordinance discuss
ca section by section until 1t is passed'
whether it be today or any other tlme.
