In the case of the Kerr Navigation

ernment allowed the company $780, 900
to keep the case out of court. The
Robert Dollar Company had $50O,000
taxes wiped out. This procedure, the
committees Investigator says, was
absolutely contrary to the statute. y
The report states that an astounding
condition existed in the department.
Employees in the internal revenue bu-
reau, the report added, "do not dare
protest such cases for fear of losing
their positions"
The Gulf Oil Company, known as
one of Secretary of the Treasury Mel
Ions interests, was allowed "tax re-

Mr.. Mellon taking office in March,

Legislation to Give Relief to
Island Now Being Prepared
For Introduction in Congress

written for International Labor
News Service by Santiago Iglesias,
Secretary, Pan-American Federation
of Labor, and Senator of the Legisla-
ture of Porto Rico.)
Washington, ID. efforts are be-
ing made to get some practical action
from congress and the Washington
authorities in behalf of the people of
Porto Rico. Despite the wonderful
progress that official reports give for
Porto Rico, poverty and misery with
its accompanying immortality and
degradation prevail in that beautiful
island under the authority of the re-
public of the United States.
Official statistics show that in the
last Is years imports from the United
States into Porto Rico amounted to
over 81 200, 900, 900 and that the exI
ports from Porto Rico into the United
States amounted to $1,500, 0,000,0 900.
Two-thirds of the profits from agri-
culture, commerce and industry have
been sent out of Porto Rico as rents,
dividends, commissions and interest
on borrowed money, which were dis
tributed and re-invested outside of
the island.
Island in Bad Shape
This colonial condition has created
a most distressing state of affairs in
Porto Rico for more than half of the
population of Porto Rico and has
| caused an enormous oversupply Of
labor which has resulted in many
thousands of women, children and
men slowly starving. The curse Of
the illegal monopolization of land and
of absentee landlordism and corpora
tions cuts deeply into the economic
heart of Porto Rico.
Relief bills are being prepared for
introduction in congress. One of
these bills will ask that $4,000, 900
| be loaned to the government of Porto
Rico to create trust fund to foster
and promote the welfare of the peo-
| pie.
The trust fund would be under the
authority of the government of Porto
Rico and under the supervision and
inspection of the treasurer of the
United States.
Would Refund Loan
| The loan Of $5O,OO0,OOO would be
refunded by the government of Porto
Rico after ten years, at the rate Of
$500, 600 each year after and until the
total sum loaned has been paid into
the treasury of the United States.
Another bill provides for enforcing
the provisions of the joint resolution
approved by congress May l, 1900,
with respect to the buying, selling or
holding Of real estate, and to impose
additional and progressive taxes on
all property owned or controlled in
excess Of 500 acres by corporations,
partnerships, associations and indi-
viduals. Under the proposed law, the
rule Of taxation in Porto Rico would
be uniform, but this provision would
not interfere with the power Of the
| legislature to take the real property
and incomes Of the non-residents Of
the island in excess Of the property
and income Of the resid. nts.
Bill for Investigation
Another bill will provide for an in
vestigation to help the people Of
j Porto Rico.
