The Maui tax police have lately
been making numerous raids on
vagrant Chinese and Japanese of
the island, who in default of pay
ment of their personal taxes are
now liquidating their Indebtedness
to the Republic by improving the
various roads on Maui. In the face
of the large number of unemployed
on the different parts of the island,
who in order to make living in
good many cases resort to all sorts
of means which very often brings
them into conflict with the police
department, it would appear that
some measures might be devised to
compel these men to work OH the
plantations.

the popular postmaster of Wailuku,
