FORMER TO HARIJISON
Porto Eico More Generously Treated Than
Any of the Territories
PEOPLE SATISFIED WITH THE LAWS
Iocal Legislature Has Authority to Re
peal the Tariff if It Wishes bat Has
Not Done So All is Progressing Fa
vorably
CINCINNATI Dec 29 Senator J B
Foraker has made a reply to the re
cent speech at Ann Arbor Mich of
former President Harrison in which
Mr Harrison criticised the Porto
Rican policy of the government char
acterizing it as a departure from cor
rect principles In a speech before the
Manufacturers club cf this city las
night Senator Foraker said an this
point
All the questions arising under the
Porto Rican legislation are soon to be
passed upon by the supreme court For
that reason I do not care to discuss
them at this time but it is in order to
say that the view taken by congress as
reflected by that legislation was cred
itable to the generosity patriotism and
the industrial spirit of the American
people We found Porto Rico as poor
as poverty could make her She had no
money no credit no system of taxation
of any kind She wanted a civil gov
ernment and a revenue to support it
We gave her a far more liberal civil
government than was ever given to
any territory prior to the civil war
so far las participation in it by her
people Is concerned and we dealt by
her more generously in providing sup
port for that government than we
hare ever yet dealt with any territory
In requiring her to pay tariff duties
on imports from foreign countries we
did only what we did with Louisiana
Florida California and all our other
territories but in allowing her to put
these duties when collected into her
own treasury for the support of her
local government we did what was
never done before for anybody else
for in all other cases we have not
only required the payment of these
same duties but we have also re
quired them when they were col
lected to be raid into the national
treasury at Washington for the com
mon benefit of the whole country and
as to duties on commerce between
Porto Rico and the United States we
did not levy 15 per cent but we re
mitted 85 per cent of the existing
on a number of articles and the whole
duty on al the rest and provided that
the 15 per cent should be remitted af
ter March 1 1S02 or sooner if the
legislature of Porto Rico shall pro
vide and that in the meanwhile all
collections of 15 per cent bth there
and in the United States shall be
paid over to Porto Rico for her own
support We made this provision be
cause it was the best and least bur
densome way possible to raise indis
pensible revenue for their govern
and not because it was in any sense of
jany benefit to either our government
or other people
The Porto Rican legislature is now
in session but neither that body nor
any member of it nor anybody else
has taken any step to repeal or alter
the tax system- so imposed by con
gress On the contrary all testify
alike to the highest satisfaction with
what congress has done and the re
quest will be almost unanimously
made that the provisions enacted
may be continued if not indefinitely
at least until some satisfactory sys
tem of proper taxation may be sub
mitted -
In addition it should be stated that
congress also in the same generous
spirit exempted Porto Rico from all
internal revenue taxation another
favor never before extended to any
part of our people anywhere Yes it
is true that the legislation for Porto
Rico was a departure but it is not
true that it was a departure from
correct principles

THE STATE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION
-
A Fair Representation at the Meeting
Held In Lincoln
LINCOLN Dec 3lThe State Li
brary association met here in conjunc
tion with the teachers association
There were ten libraries represented
The first paper was read by Prof W
E Jillson librarian of the Doane col
lege library Miss Dennis of the Lin
coln city library read a paper on Li
brary Co operation in Lincoln She
urged the systematic planning of the
development and management of Lin
coln libraries so that each may com
plement the other
Mr Brigham cautioned the Nebras
kans against making the mistake of
getting a library commission with no
means of support as has been done
in ueurgm xvousas auu ncv unowy
He said
No state can afford to let a popu
lar demand for libraries die out for
want of sustenance No state can af
ford to let the library movement with
in its borders fritter away in vain
attempts on the part of benevolent but
financially weak organizations to per
form educational functions- which do
not properly belong to them The
duty of the state to foster and develop
free public libraries is quite as im
perative as is the duty of the sate
to foster and develop free public
schools The reasoning which lies at
the base of ouc public school system
also sustains the superstructure of that
system the public library If it is
worth anything to the state to have
an educated citizenship it is worth
more to have a well bred intelligent
happy home loving citizenship and
what more directly to the purpose than
the free public library The schools
that cost us so much money and are
worth far more than they cost on
fortunately lose their hold upon a
large majority of the children- of the
state before they reach the cruical age
of 15 A vital question for the citizen
is Should the education which makes
for good citizenship cease at the very
point at which the serious business of
life first projects itself upon the young
mind Statistics everywhere confirm
the conclusions of the criminologists
that the blossoming period of crimin
ality Is between twenty and thirty
years of age and the criminals train
ing years are from the first conscious
ness of manhood and womanhood
early in the teens to that dangerous
period of action beginning early in the
twenties The community that has
nothing to offer the young but the
licensed saloon and the regularly fined
and therefore virtually licensed broth
el and makes no move for the enrich
ment of community life through the
entertaining instructing reforming
and elevating influence of good liter
ature deserves its heavy expense bill
for criminals and paupers and also
deserves the disgraceful record and
awful consequences of criminality The
state that makes no effort to induce
communities to raise the standard of
citizenship by placing the incentives
to high thinking ana right living
within the easy reach of all is throw
ing away the opportunity of the ages

thority of Auditor Cornell spent two
days in a pretended examination of
its affairs for which they -put in a
claim to the plaintiff of 670 for fees
On the refusal f the plaintff to pay
this it is alleged Schwind and McNer
ny offered to accept 450 which
amount was and is unjust unreason
able and extortionate and which
amount the plaintiff refused to pay
It is further alleged that Auditor
Cornell threatens to revoke the plain
tiffs license and to publish a report
showing it to be in an unsound con
dition unless the claims of ttieexam
iners are satisfied Such actionv it is
alleged will work great injury t5the
plaintiff not only in this but in oth

fixed for January 2 at 10 oclock
Needs of Coster County
LINCOLN Neb Dec 29 Senator
F M Currie of Broken Bow is in
the city Speaking of the coming ses
sion of the legislature the senator said
that the western part of the state
would have some important matters to
bring before the lawmakers the most
urgent of which is an amendment to
the revenue law Custer county
said the senator has enough money
to her credit in the form of delin
quent taxes to pay its running ex
penses for three years and we will
ask the legislature to devise a plan
by which we can secure the greater
part of these funds Under the exist
ing conditions practically all real es
tate taxes have to be collected by sales
the same as in the foreclosure of a
mortgage The property has to be ap
praised and must bring two thirds of
the appraised valuation In the case
of many western counties the county
has to be the purchaser in order to
secure its lien and to do this must
in many instances pay to the holder
of the title in the land several hun
dred dollars If much property is
sold to the counties under this system
they would find their funds exhausted
It has been suggested that the leg
islature provide that in the case of
sale of property for tnxes the valua
tion be dispensed with and let the
land bring what it will at forced sale
Whether this provision would be con
stitutional ar not I do not knofc but
some scheme must be devised r the
collection of taxes
