borne more than their share Of taxation by
reason Of its indirect nature.
Now we will suppose that an income tax
is imposed, say of FIVE Ter cent.-and we
believe there Is I bill to that effect before the
Assembly. Here Is 4 person vino by years of
patient toll and economy has accumulated, say
$4,000; as is said will be the case. the
property tax IS ore per cent that is $500
yearly. Now the income at ten per cent. is
$1,000. Five per cent. income tax is 800.
Now that individual spends say 81 600 q year
for imported goods which pay q duty of ten
per cent. True, many things are now to come
in duty free, but this will be Offset By the
proposed increase of duties on other articles.
There is 800 more, making in all a tax Of 800
on a yearly income Of $4,000! This will be
triple taxation, and simply unbearable. Sup
posing the property tax remains at q half of
one per cent. then there will still be $500 per
year for taxes out OF & 900.
Salaried people in any case will get the
worst Of it. Their income will be known,
that of others will not; they must pay for the
necessaries of life our of that income, and
would seem then that at the present time, an
income tax would be oppressive.
1t is not 80 difficult to estimate on or ascertain
the property of an individual. 1t appears
somewhere or other. Landed property ought
10 be taxed to furnish a stimulus to the owners
Of 1t to make it productive. If there is any
thing unfair in the present mode of taxing
stock in trade, it might be obviated by especial
enactment. If property is so managed as to
escape taxation, incomes will be threefold more
concealed. 1t is an inquisitorial process, any
way, and often injurious to the interests of the
individual, this compulsory statement of net
gains. And it is one in which the rogues have
a terrible advantage over the honest man.
Let rs not then have the income tax added
to existing complications. Let the government
firmly but fairly proceed to raise the necessary
revenue for the country's needs.

the terms Of the latter. no limit is prescribed 70
the number of licenss which may be issued.
Yesterday the billt to repeal the poll tax came
ny Oh its third reading, and was passed by the
stunning vote Of 25 70 s. Three Of the Ministers
took the opportunity to place themselves on the
record against this measure, which they had once
favored in view of the prospective treaty, but
which now that the treaty is an accomplished
fact they oppose; while the Minister of the In
terror lit must be acknowledged with more con-
sistency than his colleagues-voted as at first, for
the repeal of the tax. 4 resolution was offered
to the effect that members Of the Assembly who
ere assessors Of taxes be excused in order that
they may attend to their duties as such bat it
was indefinitely postponed, for it would be in
Convenient to lose their votes Just now. A petit
ton from d" the army" was read, complaining
that they do not get sufficient pay. This gave
rise to some Legislative jokes, a member moving
that the brave men be furnished with sundry
luxuries, including cake and ice cream and piano
fortes. The petition was referred to those friends
of the soldier, the Military Committee. a bill
declaring government officers ineligible to the
Office of representative of the people, was ordered
TO a third reading.

INCOME TAXATION.

A very plausible theory has gained ground,
one which we must confess impressed US
favorably at first-that an income tax ia the
fairest and most equitable method of raising
a revenue. AS this is q matter of some con-
sequence just at the present stage of legislation,
it may be well that we carefully look into it.
No doubt, when the happy millenial day
comes in which all will voluntarily and con-
scientiously contribute of their means to the
support of the government, then it will be that
those contributions will be proportioned to the
exact income of each individual. 1t might
occur however to some, that when that happy
day does come, governments themselves will
be almost unnecessary, except as n means OF
achieving large enterprises, and as q medium
of extending and exchanging national courtesiss.
Taxation therefore must be levied on the average
man, as we End him.
The difficulties in the way of the income
tax, are first, in the difficulty of properly ascer-
tanning incomes and secondly, in the combina-
ton of this tax with other taxes not at all
likely to be removed.
There will always be q large class of persons
who will not feel themselves compelled to know
their income. In many cases it presupposes
more thorough habits of business than belong
to most men. 1t is often hard to separate
working expenses from net gains. Contractors
and even mechanics who employ q few hands,
will find it very difficult to state their income
for any one year. Owners of land, of herds
of cattle, and of all kinds of property that
increases in value, win not be brought to state
what a~ccretion to their property has taken
place.
1t will be answered to this, that n property
tax should be combined with the income tax
to obyiate this matter. This leads directly to
the second objection to the income tax, which
will now be noticed.
By the present combination Of the property
tax with the tax or duty on imported goods.
the two great classes of people are reached,
viz: those who accumulate property, and those
who spend as they go. Were there a property
tax alone, then the high saiaried man who
spent all from year to year would contribute
little ss it is, he is reached through the
Custom House, by the duties on the articles
he consumes. We're the duties heavy and the
property tax exceedingly light, then the case
would be reversed rs it was here when the
property tax vas but q quarter of one per
cent. As it is, men with small salaries haye

dhis is the snug sum voted by the Assembly
on Wednesday last for the support and main
tenance of the MILITARY Of the Kingdom.
Thirty-fve thousand three hundred and forty
three dollars per annum for the next two
years, to be expended on fuss and feathers.
Two thousand nine hundred and f~orty-fve

useless standing army in idleness, and perchance
to threaten the peace of the community with
another barrack mutiny. And, be it remem-
bered, that two of the Ministry-their Excel
lencies the Minister Of Foreign Relations and
the Minister Of Finance-had it in their
power to defeat this reckless and ubiquitous
appropriation of the peoples money, (Which
was only carried by a majority of one) but
they rejected the opportunity thus offered them
to secure the appreciation (for once, ut leastl
of the tax payers of the country, and with
characteristic yacillation, declined to vote on
the question |! This action of the Ministers
named, amounts to a deliberate exhibition of
their contempt for public opinion.

OF a resolution to the effect that the public

expenses of the Royal visit to the United States,
was simply an act Of justice, and a measure
in which the whole country will heartily concur.
All Will eoncede that the King by that visit made
an excellent impression, and by directing atten-
ton to the position, condition ard needs of
bis country did more TO enlist the sympathies
and good will OF our nearest neighbors than
without such visit would ever have been achieved
by mere negotiation.

THE KILAuEA-The steamer sailed TOR hilo on
Monday afternoon, but proceeded no further tnsn
Lahaiua, where she landed passengers and mails anu
returned to this port on Tuesday on account OF 3
Ieaky boiler. The supposed necessary repairs were
made on Wednesday. and on THURSDAY P. II. sne
sailed again, but had hardly commenced the voyage
when the boiler again started q leak and 1t was pru-
den.1v decided to give up the trip for this week.
The KTLauea will leave again for Hilo on Monday.
This fine IT is believed, SO thoroughly all right in
A.. bolers as TO enable her for 8 time at least, to
satisfactorily perform her usual duties. These mfg
hans very forcibly illustrate the absolute necessity OF
;ntsr-island steam communication, and should have
the effect to expedite action by the Legislature IN
