Every citizen or resident Of the Municipality of St. Croix
Including a minor who had $500 or more gross income in 1850
must file an income tax return for that year with the under
signed Collector Of Internal Re venue not later than March Is.
1901, which must report income from all sources, such as sa-
laries, wages, interest, fees, commissions, income from bust
nesses, rents, farming and investments, as well as lottery
prizes.
There are three types of individual returns, viz: Q) Form
lO4OA for incomes of less than $4,000 which consist entirely of
wages reported on Withholding Statements Form WY. or of
such wages and not more than $500 total or other compensa-
ton, dividends and interest; az Shortform 1910 for incomes
OF less than $4,000 derived from all sources, where personal
expense deductions are not itenized and the tax is { determined
by reference to the tables on page 4 of the form; and () Long
form lO4O, for use where termination of deductions is desired
IN the case Of incomes of less than $4,000, and for all incomes
of more than $4,000.
The 1850 forms are now available and NAV be procured
from the Department of Finance, either at Christiansted y
Frederiksted. 1t is the duty of every Individual required to
an income tax return to procure the necessary form and
to file such return and pay the tax or balance of tax shown
thereon bv March Is, 1851 in order to avoid the imposition
of a penalty.
Inc Department of Finance will render any assistance
required by taxpayers in the preparation of their returns

year-that the creation of such an
office would entail; or the pres
sures for extensive, expensive.
and elaborate public-Works pro-
jects; or the zeal with which they
plunge into endeavoring to obtain
extended social security benefits,
vocational training, public-health
facilities, and the like.
All Of the above benefits unques
tionably are desirable in them
selves; and, if the Virgin Islanders
could afford them or even if they
tried to pay for them themselves,
there could be little objection
But all of these projects and bene-
FITS are at the expense of the main
land taxpayer The Virgin Islanders
do not even support their present
governmental and social services,
as has been pointed out, being de-
pendent upon direct contributions
by congressional appropriations.
However quick the islanders
may be to try to obtain benefits
from the Federal Treasury, they
are slow to adopt the traditional
American virtues of hard work,
thrift, resourcefulness, and self
reliance. They use neither the
land nor the surrounding seas nor
even their own labor to produce
the food they themselves eat,
without regard to the necessary
SURPRISES for purchases Of cloth
ing and manufactured articles
that must be imported.

Contribution of Puerto Ricans

Contribution of Puerto Ricans
No mention of the progress that
I observed would be complete, or
accurate, without tribute to the
truly great contributions made by
Puerto Ricans who are coming to
the Virgin Islands in increasing
numbers. On all of my trips, I
have noted that the Puerto Ricans
were the most industrious and
most resourceful or all working &
small-merchant group in the Vir-
gin Islands.
This observation is confirmed
by my interviews with hotel and
shopkeepers, farm employers, and
gardeners. In fact, Puerto Ricans
have to no small extent taken
over truck gardening for local
consumption. Because of their
greater industry and productivity,
they are widely employed on the
estates.
Nor are entrepreneurs among
them lacking. The Ease of Manuel
Roman on ST. Croix seems almost
a typical Horatio Alger success
story. Roman came to the island
Is or so years ago from Puerto
Rico as a pack-carrying peddler.
Today, through his own efforts, he
owns and operates the foremost
dairy establishment in the is
lands, and while I was there he
was installing new, scientific pas
teurizing and milking equipment.
His establishment can meet the
needs of the tourist trade, and he
emissions the time when he can
export dairy products to his ma
tive Puerto Rico.
1t is interesting to note that
Roman is one of the few persons
in the Virgin Islands who has fol-
lowed the advice Of the numerous
missions to study and plan de-
velopment of the islands. AS re-
commended at least as earlv as
1912, Roman is making use of the
energy of the trade winds, which
blow more or less steadily, and
has installed a wind generator for
generating electric power on his

place.
Manuel Cimon also offers a case
in point. When the United States
Navy acquired his land on near
by Vieques for military purposes,
forcing him off the island, Cimon
came to st. Croix and bought a
few acres. With energy, industry,
and resourcefulness, he set to
work clearing the land he had
and adding to it. Today he owns
some 900 acres of some of the best
cared-for grazing land on the is
land.
Fundamental Difficulties Remain
Despite all signs of progress
noted above, | regret greatly to
have to report to the committee
that there still remains what is to
my mind the underlying, funda-
mental reason why the Virgin Is
lands are not self-supporting and
why the inhabitants on the whole
are a dependent, dissatisfied, and
essentially backward group. The
fault, as Shakespeare would have
it, lies not in the stars of the Vir-
gin Islands-not, that is, in the
fact that the islands are poor in
natural resources. Rather, still
paraphrasing Shakespeare, tn e
fault lies in the Virgin Islanders
themselves. To phrase it BADLY,
the greater part of the inhabitants
of the Virgin Islands are not will
ing to work and make the most of
what they have. This judgment
applies generally speaking with
equal force to the Negroes $50 per
cent?, to the whites g percent),
and to the persons of mixed an
cestry az percent) that together
comprise the permanent popula-
ton of the Virgin Islands.
They are quick to demand all
the privileges and benefits, from
a material point of view, that are
becoming increasingly associated
with American citizenship. Exam
pies are the p~ressures and lobby
ing for establishment of the office
of Resident Commissioner of the
Virgin Islands with the several
Federal jobs and emoluments-all
