tended little further would place

system pursued by private corpora
,ioUs OF IL rroportionnte number of
votes for the shares held by the re-
spcctiye stockholders. 1t IS the pro-
perry which is as essed and is Liable
for the tax and there seems to be a
SENSE OF justice in the claim, although
we would by no means urge it as an
objection to an affirmative vote Mt
this time. The idea is suggested
simply by the bitter attacks made on
some CT our citizens for their oppos-
itioD to the proposition, warfare
which we believe to be- unwarranted.
The levy Of taxes is an arbitrary pro-
ceeding rendered necessary by the
public needs, and it is we'll to listen
patiently to protests before any citi-
zen is deprived of property by" pro-
cess of law"
The objection We find to the pres
ent notice is that under it, if carried,
it is believed that only portion of
the tax will be collected. The his
tory of former attempt to impose
special school tax is fresh in the
minds of our people, and the fact
that some of our largest property
holders evaded its payment has pre-
judicied the people against all propo-
sitions for q special levy. This may
not be a reasonable view of the sub
ject, under ordinary circumstances,
but we simply state the fact of its
existence, and note in connection
with it that the present "notice" is
not in conformity with law, and if
the proposition is carried at the
polls, will probably lead to litigation
with the same result, and o much
less amount collected, from the un-
certainty which will surround it.
Taxes must be Uniform and collected
from everybody, to secure that con-
fidence which loosens the purse
strings, and we greatly fear that the
present levy, if male, will meet
neither of these requirements.
1t seems that the directors have
discovered the imperfect nature of
their proceedings, ami since the
above article was written, have with
drawn the proposition for special
tax and indefinitely postponed the
election.

The other deadly drawback to the pros
perity of the retailers is the unfair compe.
tition among themselves in certain lines
of merchandise. Stationery, jewelry,
drugs, and tobacco are four lines which
will illustrate this charge-if readers
note the facts There was a time in
the history of Honolulu when it was
necessary that dealers should keep a
great many lines of goods, and carry a
large stock of each line. The natural
changes incident to largely increased
population have opened the field for a
great many retailers some of these
have well defined specialtes and keep
to them. Other retailers are sellers OF
everything they can get into their stores,
from potatoes to clocks. This grab-bag
sort of business is unjust to those re-
tallers who are trying to do legitimate
business. In the long run, it ought to
prove injurious to those who practice
it Let our mercantile cobblers stick
each to his last, take this in good part,

"Our whole country is 50 oveuun with these
oihcous middlemen whom the world does not
truly want; chfonniers Of trade, who only pick
up living out Of the great press and waste
and overflow"
The extract above quoted is from
the novel of a New England woman.
II is quoted because it helps to show
the patent fact that social conditions,
and business usages attract as they
undoubtedly deserve to attract the
attention Of a great many people other
than philosophers like Herbert Spencer,
political economists like Francis A.
Walker and business men like like
any merchant on Queen street The
extract quoted is not altogether. true
Were middlemen always what they
ought to be, 1t would be altogether un-
true. In a right condition of things
the agent, factor, broker, commission
merchant, middleman call him what
you like is the best possible adjustor
Of the relations between the producer
and the small dealer But he ought
not to abuse his privileges Evidently
he has done so in England, for the
manufacturers of England are selling
almost direct to the people all over the
nation, and in many lines of trade.
There is much to blame and much
to commend in the business methods
Of the prominent Honolulu firms The
balance is in their favor But there are
two deadly drawbacks to the prosperity
Of Honolulu retailers One drawback
is the competition of the wholesalers.
1t is a notorious fact that both impor-
ters and jobbers are constantly selling
goods by the case, by the dozen and
sometimes by the piece, at the same
prices that are paid by the retailers,
who must, in their turn, mulct the con-
sumer of his proper discount in order
to make living profit or else forego
that profit. As result of this unfair
and short-sighted policy, many retailers
buy altogether in San Francisco or
some other American city, preferring to
pay interest on large invested capital
rather than help support men who treat
them in a manner they consider unfair
If there be an importer in Honolulu
who does not sell goods at retail, that
importer will please consider himself
excepted from anything in this para
graph.

The following suggestions may be OF
no especial value to the practical men
who have charge of the present forestry
work on this island. But they show
something of what the late James Nc
Clatchy-one of the most thoughtful
men in the great state of California
thought on one OF the most important
of modern topics:
The first fundamental point in tree planting
on a large scale, that Is, in planting what may
be called forest, is to consider the trees as a
crop; only this requires a much longer time
than ordinary crops to come TO maturity. This
will put the subject to many, II not to mos,
persons, in new aspect Accepting the idea
that trees are to be planted like corn OF wheat
as a crop, there follows At once the necessity
Of care and cultivation and the consideration
that these are the conditions of success. We
do not expect to harvest an ordinary crop and
one tina, will yield satisfactory pecuniary re-
turn without having bestowed upon il care aud
labor. No more should we look for success in
the larger gfowths OF the forest without cor
responding culture. And when. We eome
TO look upon the growth of forest in this
light We shall easily, almost inevitably,
regard our ordinary native forests,
where the trees are simply suffered to
grow up in complete neglect, exposed TO in.
juy from the intrnsions OF cattle and from
other causes, as at best only partial utliza.
tion of the fields which nature has provided
for our comfort and profit. Ii is true that
trees will grow and come to maturity in rough
places and ON poor soils, where nothing else
will grow OF where the cultivation OF other
crops is impracticable and Improbable. Il Is
also true that the growth of these foresf efopS
instead Of impoverishing, enriches the soil.
Hence there is no use OF our poor, and what
Nc call waste, lands, which abound more OF
less everywhere, at once economical and
profitable as to devote them to the growth Of
trees. Lelt TO themselves, as our forests and
woodlands generally are. they are remunera-
tive. They would be vastly more SO, IT, in.
stead Of regarding them as the accidental pro
ducts OF nature, We were TO regard them as one
OF our staple crops, something to be managed
aei cared for BY us. -.saoamsass Ros.
