The New Zealand Experiment.

Editor CdlL-SIR: In publishing In THE
CALL Of last Monday the careful review OF the
New Zealand experiment in taxation, you have
ndered the public a most valuable service.
IL the radical character of the taxation laws"
as you remark, were the means OF preserving
that colony from the financial distress that has
overtaken the rest Of the world. the fact cannot
be too widely known nor too quickly acted on.
In your article 1t is pertinenty stated:
In our country small property holders pay more
taxes in proportion TO their possessions than the
large. This is especially true of the tax on per.
sona property.
Nothing more lamentably true was ever writ
ten the Illustrations and proof of which are
too numerous to mention in this brief note.
Enough to say that taxes on personal property
as an equitable and economical mode of raising
revenue Is generally admitted a failure. Then
why not repeal them In California? There
seems no reason. Revenue can be collected in
many bett ways And since an amendment
TO the State constitution Is required TO effect
that 1t Is not too soon 10 start movement for
that purpose. j. S. r.
Editor CalI-SIR: In THE GAIL Of April 30
was published under the heading Of ''Tne New
Zealand Experiment. a brief epitome of an
article in the April number for this year of the
United States Consular Reports. The article
was contributed by Mr.. Connolly, the United
States Consul at Auckland, on the subject OF
the new system of taxation, which has been
adopted by the colony of New Zealand, and
found to work very successfully. The notice
in THE CALL has excited considerable COM
ment, and II not too much trouble will you
kindly publish more extended account OF the
system?
As we have derived 80 much benefit from the
Australian ballot system. which is now adopted
In thirty States OF our Union, perhaps we may
also derive some advantage from the New
Zealand tax system. SUBSCRIBER

TAXING VESSELS ENGAGED in
THE FOREIGN TRADE.

As long ago as 1881 New York exempted
vessels engaged in the ocean carrying trade
from all State and city taxation. The pur-
pose was to make conditions under which
trade would establish itself on the prin-
ciple of following the law Of the least
resistance. The law worked so well that
the Legislature of 1892 continued /; for
term OF thirty years. At the present time,
when foreign capital is engaged In concen-
trating foreign trade in Northern Pacific
routes, 1t might be well to adopt similar
policy in California. The policy of dis
elimination between vessels engaged in the
coastwise trade and those engaged in for
eign trade may be justified ON the ground
that the coastwise trade is fully protected
by our maritime laws, while the foreign
carrying trade will be done by nations that
can do it at the lowest cost. Ii one nation
subsidies such OF its vessels as are en-
gagged in the foreign trade and another
with nearly equal facilities does not the
work will be done by the subsidized YES
sells. Exemption from taxation is to an
extent subsidy. In fact, should the prin-
ciple Of subsidiZing steamships engaged in
This trade become permanently established
the national Government might exempt
that class of vessels from local taxation on
the same ground as bonds were exempted.
But If one seaport State adopts the ex-
emptioD policy other States would, TO
retain as much as possible of their trade,
make the exemption practically universal.

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

"The great tannery interests OF Pennsylvania
are thre atened with failure In supply OF henl-
lock bark" said j. i. Byers OF Pittsburg yes
terday. Recent Investigations show that there
yet remains In that State barely sufficient bark
to supply the demand for five years To come.
and as consequence the men interested IN
those industries have been surveying new fields
for the establishment of their plants. Up in
Wisconsin an accurate survey has recently been
made of the resources OF the central portion OF
the State in this respect, and the result is said
to have been very gratifying to those who are
interested In the movement. The survey was
under the charge Of the industrial commissioners
of the Chicago, Milwaukee and ST. Paul Rail-
road assisted by expert woGdsmen in tho sew
eral localities visited, and Ii was found that the
hemlock forests cover an area OF 5000 square
miles. commencing at about junction City and
extending north to Truehawk. a distance
OF about sixty miles. The forests extend
about thirty miles on each side OF the
track IN this distance, forming square nearly

IN COUNTY CONVENTIONS.

In view Of the fact that an amendment
to the Federal constitution changing the
method of electing United States Senators
is a remote probability there is a very
general desire to devise some other way
by which the people may have a voice in
the matter. While 1t is not possible under
the constitution as IL now stands 10 take
from the Legislature the power to elect
without regard to the will of the people
it is possible to obtain an expression of
that will which legislators will come 10
consider as binding as law. The State
convention is composed of delegates from
the several counties in proportion to popu-
lation. There does not seem any fairer
source of inspiration on the question of
Senatorial nomination than a onvention
thus composed. The present plan is for
an aspirant 10 send strikers to counties
which are considered likely to vote the
ticket the asDirant supports to influence
the nomination of members for the LeRis-
lature favorable to himself He pays no
attention to cOun ties considered certain
for a rival aspirant or for the opposing
political party. The aspirant maps out
the State into three groups of counties
those which his rival aspirant is pretty
sure to carry and those in which ne has.
in his own opinion. sure thing or an even
chance. His work is devoted to the latter
group, with especial attention to those in
which he thinks he las about an even
chance.
Under the county convention plan the
whole State needs attention. A Republi-
can delegation from Democratic county
has the same voice in the convention as
an equal number of delegates from a Re
publican county. Consequently the as
pirant has to see that friendly delegates
are elected in counties which will give
him no votes in the Legislature. The only
counties he can afford to neglect are those
which in his estimate of chances are given
TO his rival aspirants. The closer the con-
centration the more powerful the influence
of the political machine. A few COUNT
may be manipulated by the free use of
promises. but it takes q large stock of
promises to cover the whole State. The
county convention plan seems the best
adopted TO obtain from the people at large
fair expression of opinion as to the best
man for Senator.

THE POLICY OF MYSTERY.

The policy of mystery which has besn
so persistently followed in dealing with
the Hawaiian Islands seems still the order
of the day. Admiral Walker has arrived
at Honolulu and formally taken command
of the PHILADELPHIA and whatever other
American vessels mag be within the limits
of the Pacific division. What course he is
going TO pursue no one knows. The adj
mral is guarded in his answers to ques-
lions. He admits that he may make trip
10 Pearl Harbor, but relspses into silence
when asked what his instructions direct
him TO do when he gets there. The an
nouncement had preceded him that it was
the intention OF the United States 10 take
possession of Pearl Harbor and establish
a coaling station there, but this seems to
be too profound state secret to be dis
cussed,
