Americans, British and Germans, amount

in taxes. while 1854 Hawaiian taxable
units only pay S112796 S.. This is not so

Tn table showing the amount of taxes
assessed to the different nationalities resi-
dent in the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1881"
has already been commented upon by all
our contemporaries. There is, however,
ample space left for remarks, and some
valuable lessons may be learned from its
figures The figures fer the total direct
taxes do not tell so much Of the story,
they require little analysis The totals

Hrwaiinns do. To what end are we aim
ing in making these calcnlationsl Why
70 this. that the people who have such q
large proportion of the property interests
al stake should have a stronger voice IN
the Legislature than they have. or that at
least the members of that body should
listen carefully to what those few repre-
sentativea. whom the property holders have,
hsve to say American, British and Ger
man capital have been brought here and
have developed the land, it IS but natural
that those nationalities should possess the
larger share of the property: the Ha-
waiians' property has also increased in
value; but through his lack OF business
capacity, he has not increased his at the
same rate that those Of the Teutonic stock
have. In voting loans and so forth II
should be remembered by the members OF
the Legislature where the burden Is to
fall. To pay loan, It will not be the
personal taxes that viii be raised. II viii
be those upon property, and It Is very
plain from the figures given above upon
whose shoulders the burden will be laid.
There seems to be some doubt as to
who are represented by the figures in the
various nstionalities. We have taken the
pains to enquire. and we find that under
Hawaiian are placed all pure Hawaiians,
and all those Of mixed blood. however
slight the sdmixture may be Under Amer
lean are all those who still remain citizens
of the United States, or who have been
nRturalized here, or are the descendants
OF American parents: the same rule holds
good for British and Germans Among
the 1854 Hawsiisns who are assessed
there are number Of estates and children:
this Is readily seen when we examine the
personal tax which is paid by adult males
The Hawaiian personal tax amounts to
S52.3O0 the Chinese to S5266l. 1t Is
acknowledged on all hands that the
Chinese in a great many cases evade their
taxes, and that we may safely say that
about 50 per cent. pay; according to the
shelving of the figures on the tax report.
there must be an excess Of Chinese adult
male population over Hawaiian. or there
must also be great deal Of evasion in
paying personal taxes on the part Of Ha
waiians.
The subject is by no means exhausted,
the figures viii bear still closer analysis
than we have given them, but this will
suffice for the present; no doubt many
people abroad will be as much interested
In these tables as we are here.

WHAT sort of minds our Legislators have, and

Of this nation was shown The other day. resO-

receive 500 as Compensation for their valuable

rose and brought in a resolution that the House

CONSIDERABLE comment has been made
upon the item in the Appropriation Bill
for care of forests, nurseries, improve
ments of lands and public places" There
are very few indeed in the community
who do not recognize the necessity of
doing something to stay the rapid de
struction of forests, and who do not real
ize what a necessary adjunct towards
getting good water supply. forest lands
are. OF the gentlemen who voted against
the item, il was very well known that
several were in favor of something being
done in this direction. and one had prac
tically shown this by engaging the sery-
ices of trained forester from Germany.
On enquiry we find that II was the some
what vague and misty expressions of the
Minister of Foreign Affairs. which in all
probability led to the item being defeatc
There was no objection to money being
voted for keeping up Emma Square. nor
any towards improving the forests But
the expenditure was not definitely laid

point left it still more vague. There
