least for a portion of their territory, than
10 foster the sugar industry as much as
possible in such a place as Hawaii. The
money paid to Cuba, to the West India
Islands and other colonial dependencies of
European nations, goes for the purchase
of European goods, while the money paid
to the Hawaiian planters goes directly
back to the United States. The sugar in
dustry in the Hawaiian islands is profit
able to the States; there is not Califor
Man but profits, either directly or indi-
rectly. and as long as the consumption of
sugar continues to increase as it has done.

the United States.

this large income, but it is speaking very
easily to say that it is discreditable that
this money should have been retained here
instead of having been expended where it
was raised, for the purpose intended by
the tax
The Road Commissioners Bill purposes
to remedy this condition, if it becomes law;
and it is to be hoped that his Majesty will
regard the evident desire of a great ma
jority of the people.
The Minister of Interior appoints three
Commissioners for each district, and des-
ignates one of them as road supervisor.
This person is required to give heavy
bond for the protection of the district road
tax, and this tax is then expended as the
road commission decides If any balance
remains unexpended, each year, it is paid
over to the Governor, for use in other parts
of the Island if needed, on roads. Special
appropriations will be expended under the
direction of the Minister of Interior. The
advantage of this measure is apparent, in
that it provides for the expenditure of
money raised for special purpose by those
whose interest it will be to expend it for
the best good of all concerned.

II was thought that the Legislature of
1884 had reached the full limit of Legis-
lative procrastination with its ninety-six
days of session: but 1884 Will not be a
patch on 1886 At the least calculation
there are three weeks hard work before
the Assembly. The Appropriation Bill
has to be gone through from end to end.
and as its total at present writing is very
little short of S3,S00,000, with every item
to consider, there is quite neat little bit
of work before the assembled wisdom of
the country. Besides the Appropriation
Bill there are still some ninety or hun
bred bills before the House, which will
either have to be passed or slaughtered.
This work it is proposed to do in three
weeks, but we doubt very much, if with
the greatest energy on the part of the
members they can succeed in accomplish
ing it. Even should the programme be car
ried out the session will have stretched to
III days of actual sitting, no account be-
ing made of luau days, holidays and the
necessary leave of absence while the many
tax assessors, who represent the Govern
ment majority, retired to their districts to
comply with the law, and then having
whipped the devil round stump calmly
left the work to deputies.

The passage of the married women's
property bill is great step forward 1t
is victory, gained after much persever-
ance, by those who had the cause of woman
thoroughly at heart. If memory serves US
correctly the subject first came up in 1880,
and has appeared in every Legislative ses
sion since, a great advocate of this bill,
indeed the originator, was a well known
lady who has but lately left our shores.
She had seen numberless cases where wo-
mems property and earnings had been
swept away by worthless husbands, and
she strove constantly to cultivate public
opinion her way. The GAZETTE has al
ways strongly supported the bill and re-
joices that it has at last passed.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1886-09-14

Certainly these districts must thank the
paternal care of the Government which
has used up this money and is now willing
to have it re-voted and used again during
the next biennial period
Of the districts cited above, all are very
important, and the traffic over the roads is
heavy Such places as Waikiki, Maka-
wac, North Kohala and Kau, are great
producers, but thousands of dollars appro-
priated for their benefit have remained
unspent and the roads remain disgraceful,
not for two years only, but for ten years.
1t is curious to note however, that there
is no return made from Lanai of any IN
expended balance. Now Lanai is a very
insignificant Island, and almost the only
traffic on its roads is the carting of Mr.
Gibson's wool and the hauling of his sup
plies. Yet ON this Island every cent of
the road tax has been expended. The to-
tai amount appropriated was SLAB, and
the expenditure was exactly the same
amount. Of this the road supervisor got
S34S, or thirty per cent of the whole appro-
priation Under the new system the su-
pervisors will only get ten per cent.
When one sees such figures as these, it
becomes very evident that Mr. Gibson
looks after the affairs of number one pretty
carefully. To defeat the bill the said Mr.
Gibson will now strive by might and main
to prevent the King signing it. But we
doubt whether it Will be to any purpose.
1t must be plain to any one considering
that the money expended to the last cent
on the Lanai roads was practically robbed
from the other districts Now, it does not
look well for Minister to blk the other
districts and leave their roads in villain
Gus condition, while he uses every cent he
can legally lay his hands on to improve
his own private property Yet this is
what has been done And it has not only
been done in this instance, but it is GER
tainly being done in some way or another,
though the ways are mighty tortuous and

pension, and another may serve for a few
years and get comfortable maintenance
as long as he has friends, at court.
Consider moreover, the positions of those
now receiving a pension from the Hawai-
ian Government. Their business will be
to try and secure it at the next biennial
session, and meanwhile they haze to make
themselves as agreeable to the powers that
be as they can The system can do moth
ing else but create few more fawners on
the said process. How different it is say
in England A man serves so many years,
rises to such grade, retires and gets his
pension for his work, not his politics. 1t
matters not to him whether conservatives
or liberals are in, he mast get his money
and he can vote on either side he pleases.
This we should like to see in Hawaii, but
we mustprotest against the present method
of pension granting.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1886-09-14

ONE of the most important bills passed
by the present Legislature, is that gener-
ally known as the "Road Commission
Act" While it is true that it would not
have been possible had it not been for the
support of the Opposition, yet the Adcertise,
is wrong in saying that it animated from
that side of the House. It is equally true
that of the three bills, two came from the
Government side of the House. The com
mittee which submitted the bill which has
been passed, in place of the three referred
to, was composed of Messrs. Brown, Kau-
kau, Kauai, Castle and the Minister of In
terior-a Government majority certainly,
there. The report was signed By eCery mem
Der Of the committee. 1t is true that the Min
lister of Interior qualified his signature,
but it was not in opposition to the bill
He objected to some structures passed upon
the Governments expenditure of the road
tax, but the only recommendation of the
report, received his unqualified approval.
The opposition to the bill arose wholly in
the House, and was confined almost with
out exception to the Ministers and a few
of their thick and thin supporters, with
perhaps, the exception of Mr. Richardson.
The motion to indefinitely postpone the
bill showed its status and support. That
vote was as follows: THE Opposition in
itaIics)
AYEs-Creighton. Kanoa, Dare, Haysel-
den, Keau, Kaae, Kaulia, KauIukou, Pa
hia, Nahinu and Richardson.
NoEs-BisAop, CIeghorn, Kuihelani. Bush.
Kaae, Parker, Lilikalani, Baker, Kauhi,
Broom, Kaunamano, Wight, Kauhaac, Kagua,
Kaukdu, Castle. Diekey, TAlrstoH, Paehaole,
Dole, Kauai and Palohau
1t will thus be seen that even if the nine
members of the elective side of the House.
who are called the Opposition, had alb
stained from voting, the measure would
still nave been passed.
Why is it that this bill received such
powerful support in the Assembly? 1t is
because that it is demanded by the whole
people. The condition of the roads in
nearly every district of the Kingdom rem
dered it imperative that some relief be af-
forded. 1t was hoped that the Act OF 1884,
the Road Supervisor in-chief Act" as it
IS called, would improve matters; but that
has been total failure in some respects.
The root of the evil had not been reached. |
The bill which has just been passed at |
tempts to strike it. The road tax is bur
den laid upon the people for the purpose
OF maintaining the public highways 1t |
is of all others, a tax which should be ex-
pended where it is raised. That this has
not been done is shown by the various re
ports made to the Legislative Assembly
about roads, bridges. etcs 1t then appears
that over $4,000 of road tax is accounted
for as ''unexpended," at the close of the |
period Part of this-about $4,000, comes
over from the period closing March 81, |
1884, which leaves not far from one half of |
the total road tax "unexpended." The
public treasury has had the advantage of
