CONCERNING NEW ZEALAND TAXES.

Reference was made in an editor
ial note yesterday to the report of
the United States Consul at Auck-
land, upon the New Zealand tax
reforms. The object of these re-
forms, as already explained in the
ADVERTISER, has been to shift the
burden of taxation so as to relieve
the poor, to break up the system of
enormous landholdings, to make it
improbable to retain large tracts
of unimproved land, and to dis
courage real estate speculation. If
these objects are socialistic, then
the New Zealand Legislators must
certainly be taxed with socialism.
On the consequences of the system,
and its effect upon the credit Of the
Colony, the Consul Mr.. John D.
Conally, speaks as follows:
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1894-05-08

ing his own case. "They that are
whole need not a physician, but
they that are sick"
The native Hawaiians are a ma
jority in this country, and their
interests should be as carefully
guarded as though they were a
majority in the Convention.
We do not believe there is any
general disposition on the part of
annexationists to curtail the rights
of Hawaiians, or to ignore the
responsibilities of the dominant
party toward them. The Provis-
ional Government has shown, in
despite of pressure from radical
quarters, disposition of constant
kindness and Cancellation. They
have felt and manifested the
natural aloha of children of the
soil toward children Of the soil.
We believe that in the Convention,
the greater portion of whose men,
bers were born in Hawaii, the same
will prevail, in a still
larger measure, and that the steps
taken and the law adopted will
convince native Hawaiians that
they are not to be strangers and
Outcasts in the land of their birth.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1894-05-08

"In a very short time the in
cidence of taxation has been al
most entirely changed-always a
most hazardous undertaking, be-
cause of it's tendency to disturb
existing values and disarrange
business enterprise. Here reforms
have been introduced which revo-
lutionized the old system without
affecting, at least to any appreci-
able extent, existing interests. It
is true there were many who,
through the public press, in the
halls of legislation and on the
highways and byways of the coun-
try, proclaimed their belief that
the changes in the incidence of
taxation would surely involve the
country in financial ruin, but sub
sequent events conclusively demon
strated how ill-founded were their
apprehensions. The most deter
mined opposition to the new tax
atom came from the moneyed in
situations, loan companies and the
owners of vast landed estates. 1t
was found, however, as soon as the
new system became law and was
thoroughly established and fully
understood that instead of involv-
ing the colony in ruin, it had ex-
actly the contrary effect. The
credit of the colony in London
(which is, of course, the center of
financial operations so far as the
colonies are concerned) increased
to an unprecedented degree. New
credit is better today on
the London money market than is
that of any other colony of Aus

Honolulu, it was entirely lost from
view, and the device was utilized
to secure objects which had as lit
tie to do with the case as "the flow
ers that bloom in the Spring" The
adAerent5 of the American Union
party hoped to find in it means
of consolidating votes upon the
party candidates. The Third Dis
trict and the Portuguese colony
labelled it, Boiling made easy; !"
while other voters simply regarded
it as a convenience for pushing a
favorite candidate.
We should not, however, infer
from the failure of this initial ex-
pertinent that cumulative voting
should be abandoned altogether.
When parties are regularly organ
lied, and are opposed in the field,
the adoption of such a method of
concentrating votes may very well
lead to a more equitable division of
power than would otherwise be
possible. At the same time, the
of inducing electors to
make systematic and methodical
use of their votes, instead of follow
ing a mere unregulated fancy,
would seem almost insuperable.
1t might be well, in the consti-
tuition to be drawn, to provide for
representation in the
lower house, in case the legislative
body should be divided.

A NEW VAULT.
It Will be Built in the Executive
Building.

The contract for furnishing a
burglar-proof vault for the Finance
office has been awarded to the
Diebol Safe and Lock Company
of Canton, Ohio. There were three
bidders for the vault, but the above
company were awarded the con-
tract for S2350. T. w. Hebron is
the local representative.
The vault will be placed in the
small room on the right-hand side
of the entrance leading into the
Office Of the Minister of Finance.
The vault will be 6 feet s inches
wide, 6 feet 2 inches deep, and ~
feet high. The peculiar shape is
necessary owing to the smallness
of the room in which the vault is
to be erected. The lining will be
constructed of 4-inch 5ply welded
iron and steel. There will be both
inner and outer doors. The inside
doors will be double and one inch
in thickness, with a four-tumbler
combination lock. The outer door
will be 3 feet 4 inches wide by z
feet 6 inches high, composed Of
four plates of chrome and Bessemer
steel. The bolt-work will be mas
sive, and operated by an automatic
locking device controlled by a
lock. The
patent-locking device will OBJ
viate the necessity of any aperture
or opening through the door, which
will be one solid piece of steel two
inches thick. When the door is
closed and the pressure gear ap-
piled, the lemons and grooves on
the door will be forced tightly into
corresponding ones on the vestibule,
40 air-tight joint. The
grooves will be lined with felt
packing, which will prevent the in
PRODUCTION Of liquid or other ex-
olosives.
The order for the vault material
mas been forwarded, and the vault
will be completed in about four
months time.

done themselves great credit, and
they are going to send strong and
representative body Of men to speak
for them in the convention. 1t is
very significant and very crafty
ing to note that third of the cleo
toral delegates is composed of ma
tive Hawaiians. This is, of itself,
sufficient to rebuke the preten Sc
that the Hawaiian population is
unanimous in its opposition to the
new movement. The fact that the
island of Hawaii sends three ma
tive Hawaiians out of six, is a
proof that the natives Of that isl
and are actively interested on
their own account.
The makeup of the convention
will furnish a striking illustration
of the essentially native character
of this whole movement, from be-
ginning to end. Of the eighteen
elected delegates, six are Hawai-
ians. Fifteen of the eighteen were
born and bred in Hawaii. Of the
remaining three, two have been
here since childhood, while the
third is a man of long residence,
thoroughly identified in all his in
terests with the country of his
adoption. We commend these
facts to the attentive consideration

nave characterized the revolution

AN EXPERIMENT THAT FAILED.

The testimony from Maui con-
ours with the experience of Oahu
in pronouncing the experiment
with cumulative voting very unsat-
isfactory. The object of the ar
rangement is supposed to be to
secure representation to a minority
which would otherwise be unable
to obtain a hearing in the legisla-
tive body. If this object and
nothing else were attained, there
would be nothing to criticize, for
there is no doubt that minorities
are as much entitled to representa-
ton as the majority. The diff
Guilty seems to be that the end
sought is not reached. Here in

THE New Zealand Government
has decided to bring TO the notice
of the Imperial Government the
propriety of settling the Samoan
difficulty by annexation to New
Zealand. This would undoubtedly
be a good solution of the matter SO
far as the internal interests of Sa-
moa are concerned, for the undi-
vided rule of Great Britain would
probably bring peace to the dis
tracted group. II is to be feared,
however, that the proposition would
fail to secure the appreciation of the
other treaty powers, without whose
cooperation nothing can be done
with Samoa.

THE able and learned paper upon
the Russian occupation of Hawaii,
read by Professor Alexander before
the Historical Society last night,
furnishes q fresh illustration Of the
usefulness of this organization. 1t
is a gratifying fact that a little
State like Hawaii can have a
learned society not only in name,
but in fact, and that there are
within her borders men well quail
fed to carry the torch of science
and enlarge the sphere of knowl-
edge. Though the society is less
than two years old, it already has
a valuable library which is steadily
growing, while the researches of its
members are making it widely and
favorably known across the sea.
Professor Alexander's paper comes
as a welcome addition to those
which have already been published
as part of the sOciety's proceedings.

ACCORDING to an Auckland des-
patch, ex-Queen Liliuokalani is
now engaged on a lecturing tour in
London. She appears on the plat
form in full royal robes, with all
the pOmp of imperial authority.
This is simply a fresh illustration
of the fact that, in order to get at
the truth of this Hawaiian en-
broglio, you must go abroad for it.
We venture to say that no one in
this country, with the exception of
a small circle of her intimate
friends, knows anything Of the alb
sence of Mrs. Dominis in London.
The episode shows how extremely
secretive the royalists can be when
they really set about it.

Mr.. w. F. PoGUE, who has been
elected as one Of the Maui dele
gates, declined the honor prior to
election. Now that he has been
elected, however, it is believed that
he will accept, and take his place
in the convention. If Mr.. Pogue
should decline to sit, probably an
other election would have to be
held, as the law declares elected
only those delegates who have re-
ceived the highest number Of votes.
1t is to be hoped that no new
election will be necessary.

TAHITIAN STATISTICS.

! The official Annuaire de Tahiti
for 1894 has just come to hand
The descriptive part is simply a
reprint of what was published ten
years ago. The greater part Of
this document is a complete official
directory of the French establish
ment in the Southeastern Pacific.
We were disappointed in finding
in it very little information in re-
gard to the commerce or the pro.
auctions of Tahiti and Moorea, to
compare with the elaborate tables
published in the Notices Coloniales
in 1885.
In 1884 the cotton produced
there was valued at 346, 1893 francs,
the vanilla at 54,860 francs, the
copra exported at 162,605 francs,
the oranges at $4,000 francs, the
coffee at 1851 francs, and the
sugar at 1926 francs.
In regard to population it makes
a good showing. In 1854 the total
population of Tahiti and Moorea
was 10,1SS. In 1884 it had slight
ly increased to 1868, and in 1892
it had risen to II, 500.
Unfortunately the classification
of this population by race is not
given, nor any statistics of immi-
grafton. There is a marked dis
proportion between males and
females, the number of the former
being 6649, and of the latter 4S71.
In the tariff of taxes for 1894 we
observe a poll tax Contribution
personelle) of twenty francs, and
special capitation tax of $500
francs levied upon every Asiatic
landing in the colony, who is not
provided with regular immigra-
ton contract, in accordance with a
decree of December %, 1898. The
dog tax by a decree of June 16,
1892, is ten francs per head, which
goes to the municipal treasury.
The list of licensees shows that a
large number of Chinese are en-
gagged in wholesale and retail |
trade.
On the whole the perusal of this
Annuaire gives the impression that
this little colony of about 1900 |
souls employs as extensive and |
an administrative ma
chine as the Hawaiian kingdom
ever did.

AN IMPORTANT RESOLUTION.

The resolution which was adopt
ed by the Board of Managers Of
the Historical Society last night
draws attention to a matter o.
great consequence, which ought to
have been attended to before. The
collection of the documents which
illustrate the progress of history in
the making falls of course pecu-
liarly within the scope of a his
toricaI society. The past year has
witnessed great activity in the
manufacture of history, and it has
been enriched by an extensive
literature. Some of this is pre-
served in the voluminous reports
of Blount and Morgan. A large
quantity will be found in the files
of the ADVERTISER and GAZETTE.
The original documents, however,
the "real evidence" to borrow
lawyers phrase, has not been pre-
served, and it will speedily and
surely disappear, unless rescued
at once. Such "real evidence" are
all posters, proclamations, and
pamphlets which have from time
to time appeared. Everything of
this sort should be obtained by the
society, as should copies of all the
newspapers which have been pub
lished in Honolulu during the past
year.
1t is a singular fact that age
which wastes most things should
enhance the value of some. What for
instance, could be of less value
than the Holomua Who can
thrash out even one grain of
wheat from its daily stores of
chaff2 Yet a file of the Holomua,
gathering its daily and yearly al
lowance of dust on one of the back
shelves of the Historical Society
would possess a certain value. fl
the Holomua takes this view of its
own merits, it could not do a more
graceful thing than to present the
society with a file. At the same |
time it would perfect its appeal to
posterity, and rid itself of all
smell of mortality"
We believe that such persons as
have kept copies of proclamations,
posters, and any other memorials
Of the events of the past year, will
be glad to secure their permanent
preservation, and enlarge their use
fitness by giving them to the Ha-
waiian Historical Society.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1894-05-08

THE Bulletin and Holomua have
broken their eccentric records in
holding the ADVERTISER respons:-
bic for the law which declares the
Convention the sole judge of its
own members. The ADVERTISER
did not make the law, but confined
itself to pointing out what it pro-
vided. As a matter of fact, we be-
lieve that the election of Kunuiakea
cannot be contested in the Courts,
and there the matter stands.

says has worked very successfully

ELECTION RETURNS

rived, bringing intelligence of the
result of the elections on Maui and
Hawaii. As there is practically no
doubt of the result on the island of
Kauai, it is now possible to make
ND a list of the convention. The
electors of Maui and Hawaii have
