-Yo no sc. En- cuanto a mi opinion,
20 creo que este cargo debe estar
desempefiado por un puertorriqueho. Y
digo este, no porque yo lie de impor-
tancia sentimental alguna al hecho de
que un hombre haya nacido en- Puerto
Rico O. en- Nueva York en- China. Ell
accidente del sitio del nacimiento de
las personas a mi no me interesa ma
da. A mi tanto me interesa Ell bienes-
tar Y la justicia de los hombres de Pa
tagonia., como ell de los hombres de Pto.
Rico. Digo que Ell Attorney General de
Puerto Rico debe ser un puertorriQue-
no por dos razones primerame ente, por
que sospecho que la mayoria de los puer
torriqueiios veria con mejores ojos
un Attorney General native de
Puerto Rico, que I'm Attorney &C.
neral" native de orr puno del globo,
yo respeto la voluntad de las mayo
rias. Pero mi argumento principal en-
mi preferencia favor de un puertorri-
queno para ese .cargo consiste. en- que
un abogado puertorriqueno, va sea uni
nista, republican, socialista, ha de es-
tar en- mejores condolences que cual-
uuier continental para ell desempefio de
ese cargo, por tener un mejor conoci-
miento de nuestras leyes. Esta ocurrien
do que viene a Puerto Rico un hom-
bre para ser jefe de la justicia que al
entrar por la Boca del Moro no sabe
NADIA sobre nqestra, legislation local y
nos encontramos con un hombre que
tiene que conlenzar leer Y estudiar
nuestras leyes. Yo creo que cualquier
( muchacho reci6n graduado en- nuestra
Universidad de Rio Piedras esta me-
jor preparado para desempefar con ca
pacidad el cargo de attorney Gene
ral4 de Puerto Rico. que cualquier
americana venido del Norte.

PEOPLE DON'T WATCH
LOCAL TAXES CLOSE

The following is paragraph
from an article written by Income
Tax Assessor J. H. Grimm:
There is great deal Of talk, politi-
cally, of expensive commissions and
exrt nsive state administration and
mighty little talk about expensive
schools and yet we find over a period
of fen years, the taxes required to be
raised for state purposes, when We
take into consideration the depreciat-
ed value of the dollar, are almost no
higfi2r now than ten years ago, while
the amount we raise for school pur-
poses has increased many-fold; and
the same applies to the amount raised
for local town, city and village
governments. / find that there is
very little discussio at school meet
ings and town meetings and very
little effort made at such meetings to
lower appropriations | find but few
attend school meetings where the
great portion of our taxes are raised
and the great majority Of the tax
PAYERS know nothing about the ex-
re-,ses of these institutions or how
thew are being run. | have found
schools in this district with only three
or four pupils in the school; where the
expense was several hundred dollars
r,r pupil and where very little in
ter st and work on the part of the
school board or taxpayers of the dis
tr;ct, could arrange matters so that
tie pupils could be sent to othe"
schools a~1 large part of the eX-
pense saved. At the fall election,
however, when a new member OF the
legislature is to be elected, or new
state officer. there is a great deal Oh
discussion about high taxes. There
ere premises made by the candidates
that laws will be passed to lower tax
Is on real property; but no results
come from these premises and |
fail to see how legislation can, by
changing laws, give any material re
lief l. the matt of high property
taxes. Nearly all of this money is
controlled, raised and spent locally
and it seems to me that the money
