Mont Riely, of Kansas City, Mo„ re cently appointed governor of Porto Rico by president Harding, arrives here to take up bis official duties prob ably in July, he will And an interest ing political situation brought about by the fact that the legislature, which was in session at the time of the an nouncement of his appointment, imme diately took a recess without passing the government budget for the year which commences July 1. Neither did It pass tax bills which were under consideration and which are consider ed necessary to produce revenue for the insular government. The legislature is in control of the Unionist party. Antoqio R. Barcelo, president of that party and of the senate, has received a letter from Governor Riely requesting that the legislature complete its work as quick ly as possible and adjourn. There is no Indication that this request, the Brst of the new governor, will be com piled with. Apparently the legislative recess was taken with the idea that it would afford Oovernor Riely an opportunity to come to Porto Rico and participate in the framing of laws which will be enforced during the Rrst two years of his term ot office. Although the budget for the next two years has not been passed this does not seem to be particularly wor rying the legislature. If there is - no new budget at the end of June the bud get now in force will be continued for another year. The present budget calls for an annual expenditure of ap proximately 38,000,000. The ineomo tax law which has been in operation during thejmst two years become inoperative on, July 1, unless « guv income tax law Is passed, or the present, la* Is ve enacted and there will be 0° income tax for the year 1920 unquestionably the roost pros- pJ^ons year in the history of the le- lMI The unionists leaders W far more concerned .regarding the attitude or the new governor on appointments in the departments than they are with legislation, with the exception of the offices faf nuditrtcj*#l coromlsslonerof education, Unionists are at of every insular government depart rnent.
