Porto Rico Bill Sees Major Tariff Amendments In Senate
Senator Foraker introduces amendments to the Porto Rico government bill. Changes redefine inhabitants as citizens of Porto Rico and adjust duties on imports from outside the United States. The bill creates a 15 percent entry duty into the United States for Porto Rican goods and imposes an internal revenue tax on Puerto Rican manufactured items. A resident commissioner would replace a delegate, with salary set at 5000 annually, and the president must approve Porto Rico telegraph and telephone franchises. The act would also determine separate Porto Rico treasury funds and local taxation provisions to be proclaimed.
