EDITORIAL

The new governor of tbs Virgin
Islands, Lawrence w. Cramer will
leave Washington Wednesday next
week to take up his new duties. Before
leaving Washington he will be armed
with new legislation which will coubt
Iessly be rushed through Congress to
facilitate Mr.. Cramer. One of the bills
likely to DO law very soon is the tax
reform bill. The purpose Of this bill
il to incaease revenues from real es-
tate. When land tax 10 based on an
assessed valuation the tax will be the
same regardless of whether the owner
utilixes the land or whether he let's it
remain idle.
The effect of this Legislation may be
to throw large quantity Of land in the
market for sale. But we doubt that
willing purchasers would be found. The
Government may be forced to purchase
some Of this land fer
taxes. using part for planting forest
trees and part as game preserves
The purpose of the law is to break up
the large units but. in dong so. if the
tax rate is too high the owners of small
units would not be able to meet their
obligations
A new governor is usually expected to
do some handing cut Well, this is Mr..
Cramer's first gift. and it goes TO land
owners in the Virgin Islands.
Properties in town will be in cluded in
the bill. If the tax should soar much
higher an increase in rents will follow.
We have not seen the full text of the
bill and do not know if it includes every
thing and every group contemplated for
new or for increased taxation.
Congres. is using its right under thu
Constitution to Iegislatedirset y forthese
Islands. To what extent such rights will
be exercised is guess no one can make.
II will be taxation without representa-.
ton. Ii will be lsgislatisn without the
consent. or probably the knewledgs of
the governed biz what rights have

Some time this fail the Interstate Commerce Com
mission win hear arguments about the rate which Am
erican railroads may charge for passenger ~transpor-
tation. A report prepared by Irving L. Koch, examiner
for the commission. suggests that the current basic
rate Of SO cents q mile Is unreasonable. and that a
rate OF 2 cents d mile In day coaches and . cents
in Pullmans would be much better.
The ordinary citizen may well wonder II such a
reduction would not be inthe best interests Of the rail-
roads themselves. A number Of western and southern
roads have adopted a flat 2-cent rate. and as q result,
have netted healthy increases In business.
At q time when the railroads are fighting tooth
and nail to win passenger traffic back from buses and
autos, d reduction In fares might prove the best wea-
pom they could lay their hands on.

A Stitch I'm Time

With the June and July rises OF the Rio Grande
things OF the past. the natural tendency Is to forget
there Is such a thing. ever. as a high Rio Grande. a
river tnat threatens to break over and destroy crops
and make things generally uncomfortable.
But September Is coming, and experience OF past
years has shown that a rise In September may be
Just as high. II not higher than a rise I'm June or July.
For years the territory Immediately adjacent to
Brownsville felt no concern over a flooded Rio Grande.
Before the high waters ever reached this section. they
had overflowed the low banks Of the river and spread
over miles OF territory. The river was no higher mt
Brownsville than at numerous other times of mod
erately high water during an average year.
However. with the building Of more and more levees
ON both sides OF the river. the Brownsville territory
danger to life In any Valley territory from o~verfows
OF the river. but there Is q property damage danger.
TO say nothing Of the inconvenience caused a farmer
by having his fields covered with water or d city dwell
or by being forced to wade through water where water
has no business being.
The Department Of state informs Congressman
Milton West that the International Boundary Com
mission recognizes the need OF q survey as respects
the situation In the lower reaches Of the river. but
that such q survey must be made with the cooperation
Of the Mexican section Of the commission; and that
AZ such cooperation Is secured. the funds necessary, es-
timated at $4,000. are not available.
Matter OF cooperation and sanction OF the Mexican
section Of the commission may almost be taken for
granted. Individual members Of the Mexican Sec
ton have many times assured the Valley OF their de-
sire as both individuals and officials to cooperate in
working out our mutual problems OF flood control and
conservation.
Securing the $4,000 Is something else.
However. It would appear that q project such as this
survey. with practically no material expense attached,
NIL the money going for employment. would be one
that would and should appeal to those IN charge Of
the Works Progress administration.
While the fat is in the fire. and administration off,
clals are making every effort to get these PWA pro-
jects functioning. would seem to be the psychological
time to press the request for this $4,000 to be placed
at the disposal OF the American section OF the inter-
national Boundary commission
