Beardsley Ruml. are printed in mainland newspapers. inviting persons and corporations from the mainland to come to Puerto Rico and escape from their share of the tax burden that is being borne by all of us who remain on our native mainland soil. including all corporations and most American wage earners. I think it is time the whole problem is carefully studied. Exemption of native born Puerto Ricans and their emigrant exmainland neighbors is not the only fiscal advantage this Commonwealth has been given. Its jnost conspicuous export to the mainland has been the native rum on which the American liquor stamp tax amounts to approximately $16 million a year. We obligingly collect this tax and then turn right around and give it back. in full. to the Puerto Rican Government.
