NEW sCHElIE OF TAXATION.
New zeaIand's system one Of the Best ia
the World.

AetF Zealaud's System One Of the Best In
the World.
WAsHINeToN, March 16.-John D.
Donnelly United States consul at Auck-
land, New Zealand, has sent to the de-
partmentof state an interesting report on
the results of the new system of taxation
practiced in that country and which Is
similar TO the income and land tax SO
much discussed in the United States.
The consul begins with the declaration
that in the matter of taxation laws. New
Zealand excels as compared with the
Australian colonies and perhaps with
many older countries.
This new scheme of taxation briefly
stated by Consul Connolly IS. First,
graduated land tax. The property tax
was repealed ia 1891, having proved
to be grievous burden. All
improvements on land mp TO 3d.,
O09 were exempt; all above were
taxed. The deduction Of mortgages
and Of improvements to the same
amount rendered very many owners of
land exempt from land tax.
In addition to the ordinary land tax
graduated tax is levied, and for this all
improvements are deducted, but an
owner is not allowed to make any deduc-
tIons for mortgages owing by him. and he
has not to include ia his return any
mortgages owing to him. This tax is
only laid upon lands exceeding in value
$4,000 less improvements, and ranges
from Is pence 10 . pence per pound
sterling.
Absentee landlords are taxed 20 per
cent in addition. and this is considered
iustifiable, as there are many large own
ers living in England drawing large in-
comes from the colony without recon-
pense. There is also an income tax. which
there are many exceptions. For ln-
stance, all income from mortgages inc
comes from lands, or produce from lands
derived by the owner Of occupier are eX-
empt.
me result Is that only a small proper
ton Of the people pay tax, which though
conceded to be just il regarded with aver
sion owing to its inquisitorial character
Close scrutiny Of the Lists has been re-
paid by many additions. They gradu-
ated tax on land values over $4,000 was
intended to compel possessers of large
estates, or speculative holders to subdi-
vide and offer the land for settlement.
The consul says it is having the desired
effect, and many of the immense estates
are being offered to the government at
their tax values, while others are being
cut up ia farms and offered at auction

CANADIAN CANALS.
What a Montreal Engineer Says About
Their Use by Americans.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Nov. 22-W. w.
Bailey, a Montreal civil engineer, who has
come here, claims to have inside informa-
tion as to the Canadian governments in
tentions with regard to the proposed water
ways treaty. He says that the report of
entire acquescence on the part of the Can
adian government in the scheme for the use
of Canadian canals by American vessels on
condition that America maintains the
canaas in good repair was incorrect. He
claims that in addition to the agreement
to keep those waterways used by Amer
lean ships in repair. the treaty being pre-
pared contained important clauses relative
to the establishment of reciprocal trade re-
lations between the two countries. Mr..
Bailey said that he was In position to
clauses and to be aware that before the
deal between the two governments went
into effect there would have to be very
considerable modification of the views held
at Washington on the matter of Canadian
reciprocity. Said Mr.. Bailey. THE infer
ence is given in the reports that Canada
is in an impoverished and bankrupt condi-
tion such as necessitates her turning over
this immense and expensive system of wa
terways to the. United. States in order to
prevent their falling into decay. There
never was a more absurd theory a falser
one. Canada Is in every way able to take
care Of her canal system, and If she were
not the home government is too lie el-
headed to give up a big thing without
proper recompense. The portion of the
story which says a committee is going to
Roseberry is correct, but there Is good
deal TO be done besides gaining the ap-
proval OF that distinguished gentleman. The
American government is in possession OF
the terms upon which the waterways will
be opened to the traffic of American ships.

Says About the Texas Indictments.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22-Regarding the in

by the grand jury of McLenna county. Tex.
yesterday, s. c. T. Dodd, attorney for the
Standard Oil Company, said to a newspa-
per Representatives: THE same thing mas

dismissed, as it undoubtedly will be in this
case. The Standard Oil Company does no
business in Texas any way, but sells to St
Louis parties, who supply the trade in the
Southwest"
After reading the Texas telegram care
fully, Mr.. Dodd said: The statute under
which these indictments have been secured
Is one of those crazy socialstic laws which
are unconstitutional / have known of sey-
eral cases being brought up under these
laws, but never yet heard of a conviction;
in Fact, none of them came to trial and
were dismissed. OF course, we will get the
papers in this case, but we will pay no at
tention to them. The Governor of New
York would not, am sure, sign requisitions
for the extradition of persons who, not hav-
ing been in Texas, cannot, in the eyes of
the law, be fugitives from Justice" Mr..
Dodd denied that the Standard Oil Conn
pany had any interest in the Waters
Pierce Company, and said if any of the
members held shares they would only
amount to minor interest.
