The Report of the Senate Committee
is, however, significant, because it shows
that even in country Ike the United
States, where the veto power is exercised
by representative OF the whole nation,
it is yet possible for Committee of the
Senate TO intimate that its unrestrained,
although technically legal, exercise is a
violation OF the true intent and spirit OF
the Constitution If the language of the
committee be applied TO our own situa-
ton in these Islands, how appropriate
and weighty it becomes. The report
indicates clearly that the object of a
veto is not to review questions Of fact.
The findings of the Legislature should
be conclusive on all such matters. So
much is probably true, even in the
United States. In Hawaii it is safe to
90 much further, and say that the viii
OF the people, whenever it has been
really expressed in the action OF their
elected representatives should never be
obstructed. This is not merely the most
just and satisfactory view, but where the
right Of veto rests upon a foundation so
precsrious as its foundation here, it is
the most prudent and safe view for the
Executive itself to take. We have
called the veto power here precautions
simply because it does not rest on the

The bill introduced by Mr.. Townsend
about six weeks ago, relating to the ex-
emption OF teachers, ministers and sol
diers from the payment of personal
taxes came up for its third reading on
Friday afternoon. The bill narrowly
escaped destruction on its second read
ing, Mr., Hitchcock having proved its
saviour in the nick OF time by calling
attention to the fact that the teachers
and ministers OF the House being inter
ested parties had no right to vote. The
fate OF the bill was not settled that day,
as the House got all tangled up in a dis
cussion over ruling OF the chair, which
ended in motion to adjourn. The vote
stood on the motion to indefinitely post
pone the bill about a tie some votes
were disputedl when the House took a

The Supreme Court gave its answer
on Thursday to the questions propounded
by the House on the 18th. The ques-
tons were as follows:
l. Has the Legislature, under the Con-
sutution, power TO enact law, making ii
unlawful tor any person TO carry on any
trade, business or occupation without 8
license, and giving some designated person
or body absolute discretionary authority
TO grant or refuse TO grant said license. or
,. Can the granting or refusal to grant
such licenses be based upon the recon-
mendation OF 8 specified number or pro-
portion OF the legal voters of any district?
The Court answered both these ques-
tons in the negative The Importance
OF this decision is not likely to be over
estimated, and the full text of the opin-
ion, which has been ordered translated
and printed, viii be awaited with gem
ersl expectation.

The truth is that the system Of ex-
emption OF various closes from taxation
is wrong in principle. 1t cannot be con-
sistently carried out and the just course
is simply to abolish it altogether. We
do not believe that self respecting min
listers and teachers wish to be relieved
from any part OF the burdens of taxa
ton. We believe they would prefer to
share them as all other classes do with
out any discrimination in their favor
Ministers are not always philanthrop-
lists. When they are not, they certainly
have no claim to any special privileges,
and when they are, We believe that they
find and prefer to find, that virtue is its
own reward. 1t is inconsistent with
the doctrine that government should be
strictly secular to make any special dis
elimination in favor of ministers. 1t is
inconsistent with the spirit of demo
cratic institutions to create artificial dis
tinc;ions in favor of any class whatever.
If the Legislature asserts the principle
by its vote this morning. We believe it
will thus best satisfy its own matured
judgment and that of the country at
large.

The case OF the teachers is little diff
ferent, but the conclusion is the same.
1t is true that they are not well paid, but
then neither do they have to work as
hard as the poor slaves down town who
keep business hours in the dust and heat
from eight to six, and pay the assessor
besides. If the teachers are not paid as
much as they ought to be, raise their
salaries. 1t is fraud on them, as we'll
as shabby and disgraceful expedient,
to CIT them down to starvation wages
and then endeavor to lay little sooth-
ing balm to your conscience, by remit
ting their taxes in the sum OF five dol
lars year.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1888-07-31

As for the ministers, they serve for
poor pay, as Mr. Kinney Friday forci-
bly, observed, in the hope of heavenly
reward, and not for the sake OF
this pitiful rebate of FIVE dollars a
year. This financial inducement is sim
ply stumbling block thrown in their
way, tending to coniound their steps,
and corrupt'the purity OF their motives.
The path should be made smooth for
their feet, and it is very poor business
for the Legislature to be strewing it with
obstacles.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1888-07-31

We think this bill, though not one OF
very great importance perhaps, is yet
thoroughly good one, which ought to be
passed. The feature OF it which meets
our special approval is the fact that it
abolishes the exemption OF regular SOL
diers from personal taxation. Why that
class should ever have been exempted is
one OF the things forever inscrutable to
the reason. Anyone might we'll be led
to suppose that the regular army was
the most useful as well as most orna-
mental part Of the community. Such
an exemption simply sets premium on
loafng, and we confess for our own part
we would much rather see the regulars
taxed out of existence than fostered and
cherished by the bonus OF s. head.

The Hawaiian gazette., 1888-07-31

On the whole the bill is right in prin-
ciple, when it abolishes the exemption
in favor of teachers and ministers. 1t is
true that both these classes are gener-
ally underpaid, but that is no reason
why they should be relieved from their
share OF the public burden. They share
the benefits of the government and laws.
There are plenty OF persons who are as
poorly paid as teachers and ministers.
Editors for example lead q miserable
hand to mouth existence, besides being
the patient objects OF general con-
tumely. Why should not they be ex-
empt from the payment OF taxes?

OUR STREETS AGAIN.
Sewers and Street Improvements Badly
Needed.

a good deal of complaint is again
being INDUCED in by business men
along State street, on account of
lack of proper drainages. The
grade of State street is very low,
especially between Church and
Commercial streets, and the want of
sewerage is, as it has been for years,
manifest. However, sewerage is not
all that is wanted. That street
should be graded and macadamized.
The streets of Salem were surveyed
last summer, and gradestakes set,
but that was all that came of it. A
little work was done on Commercial
street, but not enough to prove of
any value.
This matter of street improvement
is one that should be considered q
little more thoroughly by the
citizens of Salem than is usually
done. Why don't they undertake
Improvements after the manner of
eastern cities of life? For instance,
bond the city for a sum not to
exceed 100000, such sum to be ex-
pended in laying sewer mains
through, and for grading principal
streets. Make the bonds payable
in twenty, thirty, and forty years.
Make the interest payable annually.
These bonds could be easily floated
at five per cent. per annum, and
perhaps for a lesser rate than that.
The interest would amount to
$4,000 per annum, which the present
property could easily stand, and the
city will be greatly increased in size
by the maturity of the bonds, and
the property valuation so much
greater that the payment of the
principal would then be no great
burden.
The assessed value of property in
this city this year will probably
reach two millions of dollars. If so,
the tax rate would only be increased
two and half mills to pay this
interest the first year, and the rate
would gradually decrease with the
increase Of property valuation.
Then again, the number of
laborers that would be given en-
ployment in the prosecution of the
work would, of itself, give the city
boom, and help to increase the life
of the town. All the principal
streets should be macadamized or
graveled and sewer mains should
be laid all over the city. This should
be at publiceXpense and connections
with the sewers should be paid by
the property. The matter becomes
one Of greater importance each year,
and should right now attract the
earnest attention of the board of
trade and city council.

A seriOns Accident.

On Saturday afternoon very
serious accident occurred near
Erwin's saw mill about two miles
above Silverton. Charles Robert
son, young man, was employed in
rolling logs on the side hill about
a quarter of a mile from the mill,
when a log containing about 5000
feet Of timber rolled on him, and
over his legs and thighs, and then
striking a large maui, bounded over
the rest of his body, and went crash
ing on down the side Of the hill.
Robertson suffered very severe
bruises on his legs, his hips were
badly mashed, and two or three
ribs were broken. However, the
writer learned from Mr.. r. e. Craw-
ford, driver of the Silverton stage,
that hopes we've entertained of
kobertson's recovery, although he
viii likely never be strong again.
lie is an industrious young man and

The closing exercises, at the in

were attended by several friends of
the school. Mr.. Knight, the super
intendent, showed the improve
ments made about the institution 10y
the students, and displayed some of
their work in the industrial depart
ments, that would do credit to any
mechanic or artisan. Laces and
fancy work made by the girls, quilts
made by the smaller students-boys
and girls, furniture made by the
boys, exercises in the silent
language of the signs, and
in writing, in setting type, all
showed to what a degree of efficiency
these unfOrtunates may attain in
the walks of life. All the students
have made excellent progress in
their studies during the past year.

The closing exercises in the Ore
gon school for the blind were held
this morning, a number of visitors
being present. Supt. Gray is to be
commended for the skill and
attention he devotes to his charge,
and the scholastic efficiency shown
by his scholars. The exercises con-
sisted of vocal and Instrumental
music, recitations and school lessons.
These latter We're exceedingly in
teresting and consisted of lessons in
geography, recited from raised maps,
readings from raised letters and
mental arithmetic. The only
mechanical industry pursued at this
institute is broom making, and
some merchantable specimens of
this handicraft were displayed. The
lady scholars gave some nice eX-
hibitions of taste and skill in crochet
and lace work, which were greatly
admired by the lady visitors. Supt
Gray says the health of the school
has been excellent the past year, the
services of the doctor not once being
called upon. At the close of the eX-
ercises the scholars prepared them
selves for departure from the city to
spend the vacation with their
friends, and farewells were said in
which friendly regret was shown ut
the temporary separation.

WHERE WILL 1T BE?
Receiver KOehleP Visits Salem and
Talks Depot to the Business Men.

This morning Mr.. r. KOehler re
+urned from the south and stopped
over here to discuss the depot matter
With Salem's business men. He
was met at the depot by President
Wright and other members of the
hoard of trade. They viewed all the
vacant ground between the present
site of the depot and Center street.
Mr.. Koehler expressed a willing
ness to do the best he could to ac-
commodate the people Of Salem, and
said that if the removal of the site
might be found to be a feasible pro-
iect, it would be done. OF course
tbe question of removal hinged on a
number of things, principal among
them, the securing of sufficient
ground for a location, and in the
right shape.
The company would lose the ten
acres decided to them by the uni
versity were they to remove the
depot from it's present location, un-
less the university could be induced
to waive its right to this property.
If so, all the ground the company
would require would be a strip
seventy-five or one hundred feet
wide for depot, platforms and tracks.
However, if the depot were to be
constructed near State street, the
company would want the right to
stand their passenger trains on the
State street crossing SO longas might
be necessary at any time, probably
never to exceed ten minutes, and
this in case trains were very lengthy.
1t is thought this right would be
readily granted by the city and
people interested. In case these
two concessions were made, and a
strip of land IS or 100 feet in width
secured from the university, it is
thought the depot would be located
about midway between State street
and the bridge across the race. The
railroad would then lay three
tracks on the east side, putting the
depot on the west, and the street
would be moved westward so as to
divide the depot and the university
grounds. Some objection is made
by a few capitalists who ought to
look at the matter through clearer
spectacles than they do, but it is
thought these objections can be over
come. Gen. w. II. Odell, one of
the university trustees, it is said,
thinks arrangements gould be made
satisfactorily with the university
people, on the proper representation
that the matter was the wish of the
people Of Salem. Mr.. Koehler went
on to Portland this afternoon, and
said that after comforting with Mr..
Brandt the superintendent, he
would make a proposition to the
business men of this city. This prop
osition is awaited with interest.
