Mode of Collecting Taxes.

Complaints are heard OF the
manner In which the tax collec-
tor is increasing the revenue from
that source. 1t has been report
ed to us, that visits are made to
the houses of natives1 Portuguese
and Chinese. and the inmates
questioned regarding the number
of pigs, poultry. and the amount
of money they have in their pos
session. The following instances
have been mentioned: Two old
natives, a man and a woman,
living in Manoa. who own taro
patches and who have been ex-
empted from taxes under the
$500. 90 clause. will be compelled
to pay taxes. Chinese have had
to pay two and half dollars a
dozen on their poultry. Mattrass-
es have been taxed fifty cents.
two or three saucepans twenty
FIVE cents, five or six plates
twenty FIVE cents. At the house
of a Portuguese the other day, in
reply to the question regarding
the amount of money on hand,
tie collector was asked eff he
wanted any.

of the Admiral and his disbelief |

matter of fact he did not like to |
take the eventual responsibility |
arising from turning a deaf ear
to the absurd yarn. The |
consequence was that a num- |
Der of officers were confined |
to their ships on the night of the
bali. and that 20 rounds of am
munition were handed out to |
each man. If the government
and the Admiral would publish
the names of the men starting |

TOPICS OF TIE DAY.

The Inconsistency OF the an
nexationists Is sa wn in a
remarkable degree by all the
festivities, testimonials and tea
pots. which are being arranged
aud presented to the different
actors In the revolution of the
l7ta of January Tbs annexa-
tinnists have persistently claim
ed. that they were the men who
accomplished the revolution and
the overthrow of the Queens
government. They have asserted
time and time again, that John
l.. Stevens had nothing to do
with the business, aud that it is
simply a royalist lie, that Capt
ain Wiltse and his men were
landed for the purpose of intimi
dating the Queen S government,
and in case of an emergency,
support the revolutionary gov
eminent. The Advertiser has
even attempted to tell its readers,
that the Boston men were not
landed on the 10th of January.
and did not come ashore before the
18th, and Serene Bishop and the
rest of them have written and
said, that the revolution was an
accomplished fact, before the
American representatives here
showed their hands, and that all
that Mr.. Stevens virtually did,
was to acknowledge the Provi-
sional Government as soon as it
was in possession of the govern
ment building.

new had TRANSFERRED, but that the
situation to-day was exactly the
same as a year or two ago. The
Star editor is new conner, else
he would have known long ago
that the Pacific Mail Cos pas
senger rates are larger than
the rates of the Oceanic Gem
pany' s, and that the frst-na med
does not take any freight from
this port. Why he worries over
this We cannot understand. The
rates of the Pacific Mail Com
pany have never ben smaller
than the Oceanic nor could it
compete With the Spreckels steam
ers as long as the contract
exists between the planters of
; Hawai- and Mr.. Spreckels. All
the sugar cultivated here has got
to go to Spreckels for four years
yet. And what freight besides
sugar is here which could make
it worth the while for any steamer
line. to call here and start to
cut rates with company
which by contract has the trans
portation of the whole sugar
output The Star has always
advocated that the p. G.. Gov
eminent should withdraw its
subsidy from Mr.. Spreckels,
steamers. In the first place such
step could not be taken before
the 31st of March, 1894, because
there exists, at least, an implied
contract between the government
and Spreckels which could not be
broken without causing law suits
and damages, and even Mr.. Smith
can hardly believe that the pres
ent government will be in power
at the date of the expiration of
that contract. But if we suppose
that the stalwarts" in the gov
eminent did listen to Mr.. Smith
proposition and regardless of con-
sequences withdraw the subsidy
from the Oceanic SteamshipCo. 1T
would be we'll worth to lock into,
who would be the losers and who
would suffer the most, the Steam
ship Company or the Hawaiian
public.
If the subsidy was withdrawn
Mr.. Spreckels would diminish
the Steamer service, or perhaps
withdraw his Steamers altogether
and ship his sugar in sailing
vessels, and we would be back to
the good old days when all
communication with the outside
world was uncertain, and spas
modic, and We believe that there
would be a pretty loud howl
against the "stalwarts" from the
whole community: Nr Smith
depends on the Pacific Mail
Steamers. and wants to give them
a much larger subs DIV than now
given to the Oceanic Company,
thereby inducing them to perform
regular mail service herewith
out getting the freight though. In
the first place, the Pacific Mail
Co.. couldn't give US so efficient
u service as we have now, unless
the subsidy was made so out
rageously high that it would
burst our already depleted trea-
sury and secondly, we are sure, |
that a combination would very
speedily be made between that
company and Spreckels, and
Hawaii would receive a severe
lesson IN its attempt to MONKEY |
with the great monopolies of the
United States. Mr.. Smith of the |

Why then, may we ask, all
these testimonials expressing the
gratitude of the citizens of Homo
lulu to Stevens, Wiltse and the
Boston. for having protected
life and property on the 18th of

Who was it. who threatened the
town with disturbance aud war

the Board of Health, Mr.. Ian

sing salu, tHat as business pro
position, it would be "unwise to
hamper the purchase of goods
for the settlement store By call
ing for bids as provided BY law"
As far as We can understand, this
means that the supplies to the
store at the Leper Settlement
should not be furnished through
competition as it now is accord
ing to law, but that purchases
should be made by the Board of
Health, or by the superintendent
of the settlement according to
their best judgment.
We admire the idea of Mr..
Lansing the business member
of the Board of Health, and we
submit to the different mer-
camille houses in town. if his
propos ton isn't extremely sound,
and disint4rested. Mr.. Lansing
represents the house of Phillips
d Co., and We suppose 1t
might hamper" some
body's business, if bids were call
ed for to supply the general store
at Kalawao. Unfortunately for
Mr.. Lansing and his business
views, the law, as it stands, pre-
vents orders from being given out
except through competition for
any government supply whenever
the amount reaches more than
$500. Now, the amount paid
yearly for blankets and clothing,
and hats and shoes for the l 200
lepers on Molokai, exceeds by
very handsome figure the $500
which is the limit prescribed by
the law-and we suggest that the
law demanding contracts for sup
plies to be put up for public
competition is one of the most
inst and fairest measures ever
passed in Legislature here. 1t
is fair for the Treasury, it is fair to
the taxpayers and it is eminently
fair to the license-paying mer-
chants of the country.
If Mr.. Lansing or the firm
which he represents shonld find
themselves hampered by tn At
law by all means have it repealed.
The always-accomodating Presi-
dent of the Board of-Health,
with the rank of Attorney Gener-
al is ready to bring in new bill
before the Councils amending
the law "hampering' Mr.. Lam
sing, but we doubt that such
amendment will pass unless there
is grand "divvy9 We cannot
believe that "our stalwart' friend

fact into the hands of boodIers.
