Puerto Rico Rule Debated in Senate Bill for Island Government
In Washington, senators discuss a Foraker bill proposing a full insular government for Puerto Rico. It envisions a governor, supreme court, department heads, and five native citizens forming an upper house, with a 35 member lower house elected by citizens of the island. Citizens of the United States would be eligible for most offices, and the infant island would be divided into five districts for judicial and legislative purposes. The measure mirrors standards set after earlier U.S. actions in the Caribbean.
