Porto Rico.
Under President Wilson's administration "The new organic law granted the people of Porto Rico a greater self government than they had ever enjoyed."
They have a Governor appointed by the President, a legislature of two Houses elected by the people, and a system of courts.
"There are seventy-six cities and towns which enjoy some local government."
They send as their representative to Congress, a resident commissioner. While these new possessions are expensive they add great wealth and power to our nation.
Taxes are contributions that the people are required by the government to pay in order to meet the expenses of our nation.
We are not patriotic unless we respond to the call of our government.
