pleasant day he was taken to see some Of his
friends, Of whom no one in our community had

Last Tuesday the cabinet had meeting to
discuss the excessive assessments in Hio and
elsewhere which are causing much complaint,
and it was resolved to send Hayselden to Iilo
and other places to act for the cabinet, to look
over the oppressive assessments in regard to
which the assessors and those they have bur
dened are appealing. viii their troubles be
healed by this mission of Hayselden's1
The people should remember that this
Hayselden was the tax assessor for the district
Of Makawao the year before the last session of
the Legislature, and some of those who objected
to his assessments appealed their cases to the
supreme court and obtained just decisions
Hundreds of dollars were returned to these
people out Of the government treasury. But
this unjust tax-assessor is sent on the very
business in which he himself was a failure.

which the nation has in US, the ministry have
