INEVITABLE. ; ' .: I Seriaior Santiago Iglusias, of Porto llico! head of the gland's Federation of Labor, reports to rrei44it fioolidgoj mai ins government laces bankruptcy because of its large and ever increasing indebtedness. ,. '. ... ... it is not P01 to .Rico's central government that is bor-, rowing beyoiid the ability of her people ' to pay' but the linmieinnl governments. The central government has kept well within the constitutional limit for borrowing:, but the local governments have recognized no limits and to make matters worse have, on several occasions, contended the central government is liable for their municipal debts. In Porto Rico, as everywhere else, the politician has things much his own way. He wants jobs and fitt con tracts for liimseir and his friends, and the public gives them' to him through its insatiable desire for fine public build ings, paternalistic interest by the government in the affairs of the individual and new laws and more government bur-. aus to enforce them. . . . Misery loving ' company, there is sweet consolation to' the American taxpayer in the predicament of the Porto Ricans. Alter all, the problems of government differ lit tle between countries.' In this country and Porto Rico the public has had the opportunity ' to choose between' public improvements and low taxes, and both peoples took the public improvements. Fortunate are the communities which have found a happy medium.
